Imagine the Television commercials during BBM....
« on: April 08, 2006, 10:18:20 am »
Can you imagine BBM with commercials?   

BBM is sponsored by:

Coleman camping equipment. "Whether you bring home the fish or not."

or,  "Helping buddies pitch tents for generations".

GMC Trucks.  "Professional Grade Trucks,  8th Grade drivers"

Wrangler shirts. "On your backs and in your closets forever"

Maxwell house coffee.  "Loved everywhere, even Texas"

Crayola Crayons.  "Keeping children happy for generations while their parents fight".

Trojan Condoms    "If you can't support them,  we'll support you!"


Anybody have some more?   ;D

Uh... 

Stetson Hats  Great on, but even better knocked violently off.

BetterMost Beans  For people who don't eat soup.

Old Rose Whiskey  When a beer buzz just doesn't quite cut it.

Marlboro Cigarettes  Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

Budweiser Beer  When you need to take the edge off but still want to keep your wits about you.


(OK - now you all know why I failed at advertising.)
No more beans!

This is a little off-topic... but not really...

One time I was watching Sleepless in Seattle on TNT... and you know how when they cut to commercials and it's brought to you by this core sponsor and they run those commercials first during every single commercial break?  Well during the Sleepless in Seattle broadcast -- and I am not making this up -- it was brought to me by Lunesta (which, if you didn't know, is a popular sleeping aid).  Sadly, I found it to be one of the most amusing things I've seen in quite some time... it was just one of those things that was absolutely perfect in every way.

I'm a huge Meg Ryan fan, so it made one awesome movie even better -- and usually the commercials and edits and the fullscreen is such a turnoff... and yet, I was so jazzed to be watching it and seeing Lunesta commercials over and over again.  It was one of those things where you sigh and know that everything is right in the world.  Why can't all movie broadcasts be like that?

Got one (maybe):

"And every time you go sheepherding for the season, up in the mountains in the back of nowhere, be sure to bring along your tube of Brylcreem! Brylcreem: it will help you reach where spit alone can't!"

This may need some explaining: for those who have read the short story, you know that Ennis entered Jack "with the help of the clear slick and some spit". Well, in the French translation of the story, the 'clear slick' becomes 'gomina' ('hair cream', or 'Brylcreem'). I had a good laugh when I read that, SO... that gave me an idea for a commercial during BBM!

Glad you brought this thread back to the front, Kirk.
There's a new TV commercial in France, for a cereal bar called "Granny" (!). The backdrop is a conspicuous Brokeback-like mountain range, and the catch phrase is:
"Granny: a force of nature". Looks like BBM has made it into popular culture!
