"Enjoy the go!

Unread post by Honeyman »

Have you seen this commercial? It's for Charmin, a bunch of animated bears, and the tag line is "Enjoy the go!"

I gotta believe whatever person or team that has the Charmin account at their ad agency is very well-paid, and the best they could come up with is, "Enjoy the go!"? What didn't make the cut? "Have a great dump!"? or "Best shit ever!"?

"Just Poo It" would have gotten them in legal trouble.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

That reminds me of my favorite Tampax tampon slogan:

IMHO, Charmin ads have been dopey, rather sickening and almost vulgar for some time now! Can't stand to see them enough that I will turn the channel when they start.

Who knew that toilet paper was something that needed to be advertised?

EXACTLY! An iconic advertisement from 50+ years ago that audiophile references, and everybody still remembers or knows about. It took some creativity and thought to selling the particular product, and was done with taste and success. Compare that with "Enjoy the go".

Ever notice they alternate the colour of the bears between red and blue, based on the 'strong' or 'soft' feature of the product? :barf

I'm sure that is aligned with the colour of the packaging, not any subliminal US political slant.

You must have been living under a rock. This has been their tag line for perhaps as long as ten years.
I've really wanted them to somehow work in a reference to the age old question "Does a bear sh*t in the woods?" Which, come to think of it, might be the subtle reason for the bear characters in the first place.

:lol: Honestly, I have been home during the day with various contractors in and outside the house so I have daytime TV on which I never do. They must run those then, because they and that tag line was brand new to me.

Apparently, I was wrong earlier...
Charmin is also using its bears to exploit the insidious red-state-blue-state divide. For example, the ultra-conservative red bear pushes Charmin's Ultra-Strong tissue -- which leaves fewer pieces behind. The take-no-prisoners (or pieces) red bear is bent on eradicating evil in the world -- chasing its young over woods and field to forcibly pluck every last t.p. blob from its behind.

Sweet and even mushy-brained, the blue bear sees compassion as his number one (and number two) job. Tolerant of toilet paper blobs -- and other blots on the civic landscape such as open-handed government spending and unmown lawns, the blue bear has an obvious allure to Democrats, trade unionists -- and conservationists; one blue-bear TV spot claims that people will "enjoy going more while using less" -- ostensibly saving a ton of trees.
