Viagra Commercials
March 20, 2008 05:12 PM
A little while back I posted a rant about tampon commercials. A very good rant in my opinion, and although I did get some positive feedback, I had quite a few people ask about a Viagra (or Levitra or Enzyte) commercial rant. So here you go. One Viagra commercial especially stood out from all the others. In this series of ads, idiots speak gibberish with "Viagra" as the only recognizable word. Then we get the tag line: “the international language of Viagra.” I can tolerate gibberish for about 2 seconds before I change the fucking channel, so the ad fails instantly with me. More importantly, Viagra is a pill that gives old men boners. How can you screw up the damn marketing of a pill that gives old men boners? Whatever ad agency that came up with this commercial managed to do just that with this shit campaign. Here's my Viagra ad campaign, donated to Pfizer out of the goodness of my heart.
We open on an old man frowning. The he takes a pill. Then he smiles. Then we get the tag line "Viagra gives old men boners." End scene. A lot better than all this gibberish and silly ass songs they put in their ads.
That is all…
