I'm sure that you're just waiting for the next great commercial fad
to come around. Granted, you've already got your recent has-beens like the
Old Navy ads with Magic the Dog, Carrie Donovan and that assorted bunch of
semi-celebrities. Also there's the animated clay ads from Lipton and the
Budweiser frogs/lizards. Thank goodness that the Goldfish ads didn't go too
far.
To be fair, I do have to say that the Lipton ads are the most often
present tea ads since the people at Luzzianne decided to try to market their
product as a game show sponsor in the eighties.
What of the next ad fad? My money was on the Gap Khaki ads with
those ethnically-diverse, Gen-Y cuties singing "classics" like "Dress You Up
in My Love" and "Mellow Yellow". It was when I saw the third one (Is the
title "Just Can't Get Enough"?) and had no recollection of what the song was
that I recalled my bet. Mostly, out of embarrassment that I didn't know
that damn song!
Perhaps, it will be in the form of another come back. There are
thoughts of the recent return of Mr. Whipple, but it's not that one. If
that happens, then, there is the inevitable update. These could be in the
form of something like Bartles and Jaymes in a steel cage match. Or a CGI
replacement for the late Clara "Where's the Beef?" Peller that could morph
from a Big Bacon Classic into an old woman. Maybe John Woo could direct one
for Bounty that Rosie has to wipe up all the blood off of the diner. That
would be more like it!
Even though these ideas maybe to far fetched something is bound to
come along. It won't be too much longer now.
Anyway, enough of this. I've got another F?ria commercial to catch.
