Marek Posted July 9, 2004 Great cup-o-soup that. Thanks to your post I googled to check if they have Cup-A-Soup in America too. They do. Then I saw the godawful American Cup-a-Soup ads. Jees. What have they done with it?!? They totally screwed it up!! They should hire the guys who did our versions and re-shoot the American ones. They have the same concept as the Dutch ones (success stories of people who drink Cup-a-Soup... and in later campaigns succes stories of people who surprise their boss/spouse/teacher with a Cup-a-Soup and thereby win their favor). Compare: http://www.cupasoup.com/tvspots.asp With: http://www.cupasoup.nl/commercials/leraar.mpg (The guy says "for you..." and "niiice") Clearly that's not penis-to-the-wall material, but at least the second ad doesn't make me feel like I'm a retard just for watching it. There was an earlier campaign a few years ago with a David Brent-like office guru (before The Office existed) who relied on Cup-A-Soup for being able to be such a succesful inspirator, but he completely snaps when someone denies him his peaceful cup-a-soup break at 4 'o clock and he basically goes from a enthusiastic people motivator to a raging maniac. That was the best ad ever created ever of all times ever ever ever and I laughed my nuts off every time I saw it. Erm okay whatever, you're not interested, cause you never saw it, nor will you ever see it. Sorry! I need a LiveJournal or something. Though maybe let's turn this thread into a thread about TV ads. Wazzzzaaaaap! Aflack, aflack! Or maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Posted July 9, 2004 Clearly that's not penis-to-the-wall material, but at least the second ad doesn't make me feel like I'm a retard just for watching it. Nail-your-penis-to-the-wall. I mean, come on, Marek. Get it together, would you please? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted July 9, 2004 Isn't it obvious that I used a shorthand because we're all so familiar with the expression? *) *) He's back! And this time he's... really gassy, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wormsie Posted July 10, 2004 I hate soups. I wonder where Yufster is BTW. Probably in the lavatory, vomiting up snakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
