Slogans. Taglines. Call them what you want. Some of them are brilliant. Others are down right inane. Arby’s Restaurant comes to mind. Their tagline says “What are you going to eat today?” or something stupid like that. The point is, it doesn’t have a point. Does it say anything about the food there? Does it make me want to eat there? No. It sounds to me like they’re just being nosey. It’s like some guy looking over your shoulder while your’e trying to enjoy your lunch: “Hey, what you got there? That looks good. Is that chicken?” Fuck you. What am I going to eat today? I’ll tell you one thing, it sure as hell isn’t going to be some fucking greasy roast beef sandwich, that’s for sure. Fuck Arby’s and their stupid Hamburger Helper talking-oven-mit rip off. Bad Ad Slogans suck.
Hello I agree. I particularly don’t like the Rally’s ads. “You Gotta Eat”
Really, no shit. Thanks for reminding me or I mighta just starved to death. What are they paying these dumb ad people?
Glovia, if you knew how much we get paid, it would probably kill you. As for the Rally’s ads, I haven’t seen them. But with a tag like that, I can get a pretty good idea of how stupid they are. What about T-Mobile: Get More. More of what? Annoying commercials? I’m certainly seeing a shitload of those.
I forgot you’re an ad guy. Give it up and tell us something you came up with – that’s clever of course. I promise to unabashedly tell you how catchy it is, how bout that? I actually came up with the slogan for a place here in town, and can you believe Gatorade stole it! Maybe I’m in the wrong business.
I don’t remember revealing my advertising background before. But I tend to write without thinking. A lot. “Gatorade: Is it in you?” Hm. I can imagine what you wrote that for.
Actually it was an old Gatorade ad, Leave it all on the floor. It really is catchy considering what I do. And I’m all about being catchy. What did you think I wrote it for?
Well, after reading about that little sex shop you have in town. The “Is it in you?” line might fit a number of different products. Please remember, I am a guy. Every other thought is about sex.
or masturbation.
Pretty funny Smiv – you guys are always good for a laugh on Monday morning.
I’ll admit to like every third thought being about sex. But I’m a girl – so what’s my excuse. My ultra religious mother says I’m “oversexed” (whatever that means) and can’t I take a pill for that.
