Enough already!

Sometimes marketers see a concept or treatment and turn it into the town bike. Now, everyone wants a ride.

Let's look at who's Aping Advertising Copycats now.



The first ad that made me not want to see another spokes-asshole dancing was this one here:


If that doesn't make you want to gouge your everything out, ask your dominatrix to do it for you because you are a sadist.

This guy came out during the last superbowl as ya'all might recall:


There's a lot of copying going on there... the cartoon spokes-reptile, the thriller dance, you name it. The commercial is just not funny, original, or effective in any way.

Here's the newest rumpshaking abomination (as far as I know):


The whole caveman thing was dumb to begin with, so let's just go ahead pump the suck on the whole endeavor there, Geico. Way to go. You suck.

This sphincter-wrinklin' trend has made its way into ad banners as well:


LowerMyBills.suk or com or whatever does this shit ALLLLLLLLLLL the time. I'm not sure if boner up there and the lowermybills stuff comes from the same place, but there's a whole blog devoted to the calvacade of suck that is the falling out of the ass of lowermybills' online marketing department. Check it out.

I just want to find the jackhole responsible for those damn banners and shake them.

Well, as you can see, dancing has had its day. A word of advice to people preparing to launch any advertising campaigns: check to see if the "concept" (used loosely) includes dancing and if it does, do yourself a favor and immolate yourself.
