Back at the beginning of the year, I talked about the roundabout dance ad campaign. I got thinking today that I should put up the mp3 of the song for two reasons: 1. the song is catchy, and 2. the words scare the hell out of me. So, may I have this roundabout dance? Do …

Share The Dream And Part With Some Money
Until today, I had never seen this give us 10 bucks and we’ll give you a piece of the SkyDome Roof commercial from 1989. I know I’ve never seen it because if I had, there’s no way I would have ever forgotten it. Yes,the Dome and its retractable roof were a pretty big deal 20 …
She Could Not Be Contained, Even In Death
Ug. If you’re going to put the ashes of a dearly-departed in a locket, make sure it’s professionally-sealed and meant to hold ashes. Otherwise, it may become a leaket, and put the ash in your mashed potatos. I know, that’s a horrible, horrible thing to laugh about. But I can’t stop. I think it’s because …

Thoughts of All Shapes And Sizes
I wanted to write a blog post about random things, but I’m not as cool as R. She can create something out of absolutely nothing and make it look so easy…and hilarious. Me, I need a list. Then I can go nuts. You know in those commercials for osteoporosis drugs where they say that rarely, …
More Ads That Make Us Think Too Much
It’s been a while since we’ve written one of these. But we thought we’d compiled enough commercials or slogans to do another one. We saw a commercial for something called “Juicy Juice immunity.” Juicy juice? It’s juice. Shouldn’t it be juicy? If not, it wouldn’t be…juice, would it? I know it’s a product for kids, …
My Access Recognition Awards Radio Ad
I gotta say woohoo, or maybe it’s wheay! You be the judge. We just got some server space from a pretty cool place called BlindFileSharing.com. I just uploaded a file there that just happens to be me doing a radio ad for those Access recognition awards I was talking about before. So if you want …
Rap Chop
W.S.G. pointed us in the direction of the Rap Chop. Somebody took that Slap Chop infomercial, autotuned it, and made it into a rap. Steve laughed so hard at it. He says the Fight Network always plays the commercial for that thing, so it was really funny for him because he’d heard the real thing …
Makes Me Think About That Whole Lotta Lovin’ Song They Used To Use In A Whole New Way
this Mr. Sub adwasn’t waiting until we got around to our next commercials post. Seriously, what the hell? Just…yeah, what the hell? I can’t say it sold me a sub, but I am thinking aboutyum rocketsfor some reason.
Big Loo
The other day, Steve asked me about something I had never noticed. He said, in old clips about robots, why are they pronounced like ro-bits?” I had never heard them talked about like that, so he told me about an ad for something called “Big Loo” that was some silly toy that was supposed to …
The Wearable Tool
Isthe Wearable Towelreally something the world was crying out for? Are regular towels honestly so complicated that you need “the towel with arm openings!”? what about bath robes? Putting on your clothes? Yes? Ok, just asking. I’ll say this for it though. It sure is nice to know that not only can it be worn …
