Have a Happy Period.

That's my favorite product tag line (for Kotex here in the US), what's yours?

Never argue with your wife, dicker. Psychologist's slogan, Yellow pages.

I was always partial to the campaign slogan for the Australian product "Nobbys Nuts".

"Nibble Nobbys Nuts"

Here's a bad-quality YouTube vid of a classic Nobbys Nuts TV spot.

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

The sheila says - "Well if we're going to make a party of it - let's Nibble Nobbys Nuts!"

Metronicity, you are insane. Where do you find these?

travlinguy, that's just crazy!

Kevin, you are gross.

I feel like I'm watching a late night Las Vegas comedy act.

But I love you all.

You make me LOL. - Rick Duris

Good headline in this Australian press ad. from the Fifties - "Go GAY this spring with Berger master and your home will STAY GAY for years to come!"

They didn't get away with it in Alberta, either. The billboard was up for less than a week.

Boy and I thought it was bad when I'd see signs like this on the highway saying:

"Stop. Eat. Get Gas."

You all are sick MoFos.

PS: Writing copy warps your brain. For years I thought "It was just me." But now I know copywriters are just plain weird and dying to be stand up comedians.

I was a stand up comedian, albeit briefly and without much success. The skills of writing jokes and writing ads are surprisingly similar.

If I'm not mistaken, both Vin Montello and Kevin Rogers were professional stand-up comedians before they became copywriters.

You're not mistaken.

Both are seriously funny mofos.

Just got back from a trip to Florida and saw a few noteworthy billboards there too...

The same company had another one that read "Your husband is ugly" (... but at least he's smart because he saves money on AC.)

I like ROM's USP: "Exercise in exactly 4 minutes per day!" (They sell a $14K exercise bike)

Mr_LE · 02-20-2010, 05:58 AM

This is fun! LOL
