Funny Headline of the Day

12 replies
On a carpet cleaners yellow pages ad in Big Letters with quotes:

"We Want to Work For You"

Brilliant

Actually, I wonder if it might work to some extent just because its different and doesn't say "best customer service" or "best price around".

    Cool one, nice idea. It's different from other and thats what makes it cooler and unique, sick of those who says best services and then fail you after you pay them.

      Not funny. Brilliant. Just replace the "Businessman" with "Carpet Cleaner", and you have a real winner there. Try not reading it.

    No, it's really not any better.

    Here's what's better:

    A direct-response ad with a WARNING headline and some FREE information.

      That's some awesome headline!

      I think that pitch works 100x better. We're no longer in the 80's where people still believes on these crap: best customer service or cheapest price!

      Although at some extent it has credibility, it's a waste of yellow pages!

    Hahahaha!

    These are pretty funny, but also are excellent examples of good copy. They can be tweaked slightly to be less...funny
