I have been trying to track down this commercial for a while, and success is finally mine! Okay, it was a pretty stupid ad to begin with, but I still feel a sense of satisfaction in having achieved my goal. Presenting….the Spongetech SpongeBob Sponge.
Stephen Colbert presented a brilliant imitation ad the other day on his fine comedy news show, The Colbert Report. He was complaining about the cool, youthful approach Miracle Whip is using in their commercials of late, and he made his own awesome version, entitled “The Mayolution Will Not Be Televised.”
This is the original Miracle Whip ad in question. It’s pretty dumb. The ad slogan, “Don’t be so mayo,” also sounds suspiciously like a ripoff of Baskin-Robbins’ “Don’t be so vanilla” campaign, which I discussed a while back.
The website of the new Comedy Central series “Secret Girlfriend” says that the show is for single dudes in their early- to mid-20s, but from the look of these promos, they really mean 14 year old boys. I mean, pitching a tent? A cat and a rooster? Plus, they’re confusing as all hell. Is this a sketch comedy show, a sitcom, or MANswers-like infotainment? What is it???
Anyway, you can check out all of the punbearable clips at the official website, but here are just a couple to get you hot and bothered (dammit, now they’ve gotten to me too).
