Does This Remind You of Anything?/Advertising: Difference between revisions

* [[Vince Offer]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUbWjIKxrrs#t=54s "You're going to love my nuts."]

* Clairol "Herbal Essences" shampoo commercials showcase the woman using their product in the shower and screaming in delight. "An organic experience," huh? Riiiight...

** They also have one where the woman's male partner uses it, and gets to the point of his "organic experience" ''much faster'' than if the woman were washing her hair.

* Arby's recently put out one were a guy in bed, obviously waiting for... ''something'' to happen, gets his wife dressed as an Arby's worker entering with a plateful of Arby's food. To sexy music. The Arby's symbol over his head springs up with a ''boing'' sound effect and he says "Meeee ''likey''." [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaHDN3_X4QY see for yourself]

* This happens ''all the time'' in Canadian advertising, specifically when trying to advertise direct-to-consumer prescription drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Celebrex. Much like the European restrictions on talking about a car's maximum speed mentioned on another page, Canadian drug ads are allowed as long as the advertisement does not directly mention the purpose of the product. In response, many companies, Viagra maker Pfizer in particular, rely on [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]], [[Double Entendre]] and [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] when they advertise up north. This has lead to brilliant Viagra ads like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFGpI8bfep0 a satisfied customer dancing down a street while "Good Morning, Good Morning" from Singin' in the Rain plays in the background]; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExQKZKnk6rA the "International Language of Viagra" campaign] where people speak in [[Speaking Simlish|Simlish]] about their re-energized sex lives thanks to Viagra; and another ad for Cialis (can't find a link) where a husband and wife are... a bit late joining in a standing ovation.

** Further proof that the advertisers know ''exactly'' what they're doing, here's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n87n2Dp51Jk the commercial for the new T Core]. For those who can't click through, {{spoiler|it's a penis pump-esque exercise machine for men}}.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r1bmkW46t8&NR=1 This] old commercial for Squeezit drinks took this to a whole new level. Not only did the drinks themselves and the "squeezing" have some phallic reminders, but there is a boy squeezing a football that is positioned covering his pants, a boy holding a camera with a blub for the flash that extends upward, a boy squeezing a giant hotdog, wait it gets better, that suddenly shoots out of the bun, and to top it off a girl has a bucket of popcorn that sprays popcorn over all of the kids present.

* The Enzyte commercials are this trope incarnate.

* The new [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7fz0jpuLkM Liquid Plumber] commercial is covered in it.
