Oh, G-d, Dean – you’re putting our discussion about my blog ‘personality’ next to this ad for those who know not a shower?

Billy Mays was entertaining but always informative. I think the comedy overrides the product making it appear a parody as opposed to a serious (well, whatever we want to call it) ad for a genuine product.

What’s wrong with you guys? I LOVE this commercial. Brilliant!

First of all, it’s true. Second, it’s an example of simple, direct advertising … with a little humor thrown in. One thing many copywriters miss when they’re writing ads is “personality.”

Roberta and I were recently chatting and I said her blog was special because it has personality. I think the same thing can work for ads, especially TV ads, because viewers expect a little entertainment.

If you work in advertising, you probably work with a lot of stinkers. Get your Doc Bottoms Aspray today!

You know, everytime I see an ad for this kind of product that’s exactly my first thought. How about a hot shower and a little soap, pal?

Does anyone else remember the good ol days when we would just take a shower?
