Fun New Game: Advertising Slogans
by emily
I’m back from vacation and there’s a lot I want to share with you, but first I want you guys to play this fun new game with me. It’s a game where you make up advertising slogans for things that don’t need advertising slogans. Inspired partially by Chandler Bing from a little show called Amigos. Just kidding, even in Mexico it’s called Friends. We watched this episode in the hotel room last week and were inspired.
My favorite one Chandler comes up with is “Pants. Like shorts, but longer.” Haha. That show really stands the test of time.
Okay so, a few examples for you:
Limes.
Limes. When life hands you lemons, throw them out and get some limes.
Limes. Because who wants a key lemon pie? Nobody.
Limes. Sometimes it’s easy being green.
Tacos.
Tacos. Because forks are too hard.
Tacos. Because your gastro-intestinal tract needed a work-out.
Tacos. Put ‘em in your panza!*
*Panza is Spanish for belly. #TheMoreYouKnow
Sunscreen.
Sunscreen. Having a tan is hot, but try to think long-term.
Sunscreen. Does this mole look weird to you? No, because I put on sunscreen.
Sunscreen. True story: I heard a Canadian dairy farmer ask one of the Mexican waiters what he uses for sunburns. Don’t be that guy.
Another fun thing about this game is you can do it from anywhere, just using the things you see around you, as evidenced by the material I was working with above. Today my list would include things like green tea, yoga pants, and unseasonable weather.
Yoga Pants. Because you work from home.
Green Tea. I think it helps you lose weight!
Unseasonable Weather. The best part of global warming.
I could go on forever, baby.* Let’s play! Leave comments with slogans and stuff, it’ll be so fun, you guys!
*If you get this reference I will divorce Billy and marry you.
Home Alone 2??? Please let that be the answer! Also:
America. Because the only language you know is American.
Coffee: You’re not addicted, you just love it too much.
Boots: When you want your shoes to go all the way up your leg.
Sticky notes: That note you wrote? Now you can stick it!
White-out: There is no mistake you can’t erase. But not with an eraser.
YES SO GOOD
Cats. They’re just like us, only better.
Hand Sanitizer: When you can’t find a tissue to catch that sneeze.
Snow Globe with mini al-Arab Hotel in Dubai: When you’re looking for a crazy contradiction or two.
Joan Rivers and Melissa: Smotherhood (stole this from an issue of Ad Age)
I like this game.
Glitter. It always seems like a good idea.
Books. Because sometimes your cable goes out.
Pseudoephedrine. It’s not just for meth.
Merry Christmas, you filthy animal
pen. you can’t write this dark with a pencil;and it’s permanent too
Jesse Pinkman told me he loves matthew’s third entry
Tell Backwardo I said “!iH”
Laundry detergent. Because skin fungus is gross.
The First World. Because poverty sucks.
Beer. It’s not just for breakfast anymore.
