«Orabrush Ad»

Yes, I skipped yesterday. Deal with it.

I was going to embed Kazusan's Day Out as a random video for today. However, the advertisement that played before I could watch it blew it out of the water in terms of randomness. I present to you, the Orabrush ad I saw:

«Old Spice Guy»

Hello. If you're reading this you'll soon realize something is happening to you... Look down, now look up... Where are you? Are you still here? If you are you'll soon come to realize that I've taken over your inner voice. Oh yes, I just did. You now have a deep sultry man voice as your inner dialog. Now look back at me. I'm in your brain.

«Motivational Monday: Head on»

I hold to the philosophy that everything can be joked about, especially the tragic things.
Head On / Apply directly to the forehead
If you don't remember or haven't seen them, this is a spoof of the rather annoying Headon TV commercials that ran a while back. They'd say it 3 or 4 times in a row, "Headon: apply directly to the forehead." Without ever really telling you what the product actually does...

«Most Interesting Man in the World»

He can slam revolving doors.
His beard rivals that of Wise Beard Man's.
He once thought he was wrong, but he was wrong about that.

He is the most interesting man in the world.
I don't always drink beer, but when I do I savagely beat my wife
Stay thirsty, my friends!

Please note: I do not endorse the drinking beer or beating of wives.

«Aflac is Watching You»

Always watching...

So there's some pretty odd phobias out there. Like Anatidaephobia, the fear that a duck is constantly watching you somehow.
Anatidaephobia - The Fear That You are Being Watched by a Duck / Aflac We've got you under our wing.
After seeing that, I can see how some people might think there really IS a duck watching them... You got to love poor random ad placement.

«The Stick You Could Be Saving With... Google?»

Google's advertising innovations applied to a stick. Trust us, this is going somewhere. Google Visit Google for AdvertisersSo I ran across this Google Ad during my ventures in the interwebs yesterday (pictured to the right, but not an actual live ad unit). The ad linked to Google's campaign: Pet Stick: A 'Worst-Case' Case Study

The ad says "Trust us, this is going somewhere." I'm pretty sure it already has. It seems to me, adding googly eyes to a random object is clearly NOT a Google innovation. In fact, I'm pretty sure Geico already did it. I'm speaking of course about "The Money You Could be Saving With Geico."

Geico | "Kash Kitchen"


Oddly enough, during my vacation 5 months back, I saw "The Money You Could be Saving With Geico" everywhere... On giant billboards, on TV, even in the trash (they had sent out postcards with the money picture to people). It got to the point that my dad and I started seeing it in other things, even...

This image was taken in Mount Vernon, Washington on May 24th, 2009.

«Vince Arrested»

I think we've seen that last of that Vince "Offer" Shlomi guy. He was arrested for beating up a hooker. Somehow I don't think many companies want someone like that as their spokesman for marketing their products. Click an image to view full.

Vince Shlomi's mug shot

Shlomi told cops he paid [Sasha] Harris about $1000 in cash after she “propositioned him for straight sex.” Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly “bit his tongue and would not let go.” Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit…notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face…. After freeing his tongue, a bleeding Shlomi ran to the [hotel] lobby, where security summoned cops. Harris refused to cooperate with officers, who recovered $930 from her purse.

«Vince Offer»

From the Ctrl+Alt+Del comic, the Wow Shaman!
Hi, it's Vince with my new product the WoW Shaman! / It shoots lightning, it's a healer, it's DPS, it turns into a wolf! You like totems? Its got totems! No other shaman's gonna do that, you'll be saying wow every time! / We're gonna do this in real time. Here's some cola--you following me camera guy? / Y'see that? The WoW Shaman doesn't give a shit. He's a shaman, not a janitor. It's not even his rug. / "Let's see what white trash middle America is saying about the WoW Shaman!" / Uhh... Can I eat it? / That's right folks, you're gonna love my testicles! And if you order in the next twenty minutes--because we can't do this all day--you're going to get no one, not two, but thirty-six WoW Shamans, just like that other douchebag! / Here's how to order!

Here in the United States we have a couple of really annoying infomercial guys. This Vince Offer guy is one of them1. Yes, apparently the guy's last name is "Offer" and he's an ex-Scientologist.

For those of you who have not seen him (i.e., don't see United States television), here's the ShamWow commercial:

ShamWow (Full Length)


And for that "you're gonna love my testicles!" line in the comic, look to the Slap Chop commercial. At time index 0:36 in the video he says "You're gonna love my nuts." Vince is insulting as well. He says things like "stop having a boring life".

Slap Chop (2 minute version)


"Within the next 20 minutes, 'cuz you know we can't do this all day." Yeah... Except you will see the damn commercial every 20 minutes all day2...

1: Billy Mays is the other one.
2: Assuming you watch the TV all day, which I don't.
