It’s shopping time again! From Black Friday (though this year it’s more like Black Everyday), to Cyber Monday, to infinity and beyond! Along with the emails we get from advertisers we never subscribed to (click ‘unsubscribe’ and give them your email address so they can sell it to still more advertisers). It’s hard not be cynical, when we’re inundated with advertising slogans. It’s time to slogan back at ’em! These faux ads do just that!

Who said comedy is dead….these are funny. 😎
;>)
Hahahahahaha, love this! PS. Why are cardboard rings so delicious?
Smell like a grandpa! Thanks for the fun!
Love your slogans – especially the the Old Spice. If any young man smelled like her grandpa, our granddaughter Genie would marry him on the spot. 💞😂
Finally–truth in advertising!!
Made me laugh out loud. Reminded me of my days in advertising. Reminded me of why I got out of advertising. We used to come up with ads like these to help alleviate the pressure of tight deadlines…because noting oils the machine like last-minute panic and nothing sets the stage for panic like creative procrastination.
The very principles I live by, Steve.

Terrific, Mitch. Thank you.
My pleasure, John.
Lots of gems 😀
The one about the SIMS made me laugh so hard I almost dropped my phone.
Mission accomplished.
These are hilarious, Mitch, and so many of them are spot-on!
Fun and funny truth in advertising, Mitch. My beef with beef is it tastes awful unless it gets soused in Lea & Perrins’ Original Worcestershire Sauce (however it’s pronounced). But why would this elixir not upstage steak considering all of these delish, in the mix ingreds: Distilled White Vinegar, Molasses, Sugar, Water, Salt, Onions, Anchovies, Garlic, Cloves, Tamarind Extract, Natural Flavorings, Chili Pepper Extract. Who even needs the meat; just pour it on a piece of toast!
I read these to my 18 year old son and he says that’s Boomer humor .🤣 They made me laugh .
Hah! I’m surprised to hear that, PK. I’d have thought these would be right in the zone for Millennials and Gen-Zers.
He says Boomers are so innocent . I’m okay with that.
“Innocent?” First time I’ve ever been accused of that. Unless he means language (there are some pretty rude-crude-rude ones out there that I chose not to include.
Nothing says Christmas more than a guy in a red suit and a dead tree with presents…yup. 😉 That’s what it’s really about.
Love the Old Spice one. 😁 Every year as a joke gift, one of the boys ( they are actually men now)in our family wraps a bottle of Old Spice that has been around for many many years. It is then given to another family member who then hangs on to it and passes it on the next year. Its a silly tradition they have done for so long.
Hah! It’s like their version of passing on a fruitcake or ugly Christmas sweater. ;>)
I haven’t laughed this hard this loud in a long time. Thanks, Mitch. (I especially liked Hallmark and Ikea.)
Happy to oblige.
kentucky fried chicken we do chicken wrong
Those were so funny! I needed that. Thanks
My pleasure, Barbara.
Ha, yep, I’m about to terrorize my cats today, and pretend to like coffee! LOL
Loved these! And yeah, I fell for that “unsubscribe” thing more than once……
Glad you’ve seen the light, Ann. ;>)
Hilarious!
Today I learned about the “unsubscribe” thing 😳 But, at least your spot-on ads made it all better! I’m still giggling about the Adobe Acrobat one.
At least some legitimate companies really do automatically unsubscribe you without asking for an email address. Yeah, the Adobe one is SO true!

Oh. Haha! I did not realize it auto-generated a comment that told you I reblogged it.
Oopsie.
