BEST AD EVER?

Most advertisements are so bad that I often tune them out, and if I do listen, often cannot remember what it is they are trying to sell.  Some are repeated so often that they can induce nausea.  However, I have seen this ad many times, and it still makes me chuckle whenever I see it - let me know what you think.

Here’s my nomination for best ad ever, one for Siemans Washing Machines.

Should add the ad is R rated and NSFW (not suitable for work)viewing.

At this stage of life, I have all the answers, thus not wasting lots of time “thinking things through.” Loafing, wandering, woolgathering, daydreaming — this is the core of the human soul. Lol! BTW, here is a very funny G-rated Volkswagen ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQs-oEuDzSw

PR Matters said...

If Faith Hill stood before her adoring fans at a live concert and said, "I would like to dedicate this next number to Charles Manson," the fans would probably freak out in revulsion and wonder if she had gone crazy. Many of them would no longer be Faith Hill fans. I maintain that star pro athletes are also in show business, and when one of them proudly states, "I support Hillary for President," he, likewise, would repulse most of his fan base." Thus, whereas I once applauded LeBron James and Cleveland winning the NBA championship, now that he has come out for Hillary, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. If he had kept his mouth shut, no problem, but now I could care less about the fortunes of him and his team.

PR - interesting take. Not quite an equal comparison pitting Manson versus Clinton :-) Those in the public spotlight tend to undergo much more scrutiny than the average Joe Blow. LeBron certainly has a right to express his support for one candidate or another just like any other 'show business' types. Rush is in show business and he certainly doesn't hold back on his opinion of Hilary. I agree that show business types should be thoughtful regarding any endorsements, but who they support doesn't much influence my assessment of their skills and/or contributions. Besides, James probably doesn't care that you don't care - har!!
