Well, that explains a lot.
It’s actually genius. Look at how many people remembered it in this thread. That’s the point of advertising, to make you remember who they are.
A couple that have aggravated me for a bit:
"You’re in good hands with Allstate"- sounds to…fatherly.
"Dude, you’re gettin a Dell" - not in use, but again, a genius marketing slogan. But really annoying.
**“The Best Radio on Radio” **- That is from Sirius. Now, Sirius is satellite, right. I would think that they could’ve come up with something better than “the best radio on radio”, ya know? Maybe “the best radio on satellite” hell, as bad as that is, it’s even better than the one they have now.
Not a slogan, exactly, but in those horrifying “This is our country” Chevy TV ads there was a shot of two kids playing with toy cars, with the caption “This is our test track” - producing the predictable response of, “no wonder your cars are so shitty!”
Who the hell thought that was a good idea?
Bet you won’t like this, then.
Totally worth the annoyance when the kid got busted for possession and pretty much everyone on the board was able to start threads with titles like, “Dude, you’re getting a cell”…
That can work both ways, though. I will not buy a Chevrolet until they get some commercials that don’t annoy the fuck out of me. I stopped going to McDonalds’ (which is a pretty big deal if you go four times a week at minimum, which I used to) because I can’t take that inane “I’m lovin’ it!” jingle anymore.
Just got back from town, where I saw a sign at a florist shop: “Poo Pourri – perfect for romancing the home.”
Yes. Poo pourri.
Lordy. 
On a related note, when did “pot-pourri” become “potpourri”? It’s two words, dammit!
I blame the G-d-damned Spaniards.
We often have poo pourri in the house, because my husband farts a lot. It’s not something I try to have on purpose.
The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (IIRC) had a slogan for a while:
Don’t Drown It Will Spoil Your Day
No shit.
“We Cover the Earth” And it is a giant can of **red ** paint pouring over the earth…some sort of satanic cult logo :eek:
That little graphic would make quite a nice symbol for some sort of communist revolution, wouldn’t it? Paint the world red and all?
Oh boy that one kills me too. I hear it incessantly on XM Radio. I give you the Sunsetter Retractable Awning Company. Looks like a great product line.
Their ad executive should be killed. Slowly.

What car company had a slogan, Chrysler?
“Changing the landscape”…
Uh yeah, it wasn’t all brown and smoggy 100 yrs ago…

In the early 90s, there was a nationally-broadcast Australian comedy show that used to find these TV ads from small towns and poke fun at them. One time, they picked on the jingle of a hardware store in regional Victoria. They got John Fanham (a well-known Australian singer who’s been around for decades) and a huge band, and they re-did the song live in the studio. It had classic lines like: “Yeah… And we’ve got POWER TOOLS… yeah”
Probably more one of those “you really had to see it” things that loses something in the translation, but it had me in stitches at the time.
It’s not a slogan, but the QVC assurances on some of their clothing lines as "easy dressing, or easy to wear " bugs me no end. Is there clothing that is difficult to wear or put on?
99% in agreement. It doesn’t piss me off, but I don’t get why what are basically just shiny pretty rocks have such value on the market, as well as supposedly “proving” a man’s love for you. They don’t DO anything, they just look pretty, and in my book diamonds, the most “valuable” aren’t even all that pretty, come ON, only a jeweler knows for sure what they’re worth, or if they’re diamonds or zirconias.
I much prefer time and attention from my man (and a reasonable percentage of that being between the sheets thanks!), time and attention from “your” man is the real, proof of his love for you. Rocks seem to be more of a posturing status symbol “me tarzan” type gesture. Or a “whoops I screwed up” ala Kobe Bryant and the big rock he gave his wife after his “little oopsie”.
And even though I’m a girlie girl to the max, my favorite gifts from my former boyfriend were things like tools and computer books (yes, I’m a strange girl :D).
You’ve never read any of the “dressing properly for the occasion” threads around here, have you? 
To hear some Dopers tell it, anything other than jeans, t-shirts and sneakers are not just difficult to wear, but downright torture to wear.
I would definitely kill my husband if he bought me something at Jared, but NOT because he bought me jewelry. I would kill him if he bought me jewelry at the fucking MALL and paid a 600% minimum retail mark-up!
Hee…no, I guess I haven’t. I have to admit, it does take more time to dress up though, but I remember enjoying it. (haven’t dated since my BF and I broke up in 2004, but I had fun at the time dressing up).
For old people, or people who are out of shape, I’d say yes. There are stores where my wife no longer shops because she feels she just can’t wear anything there comfortably. (“Bebe” comes to mind.) But it’s a Very Bad Idea to remind her of this when we’re shopping.
