We were assigned Listerine Breath strips in my TV class a few weeks ago. Rather than showing any benefits of the product, my teammates and I thought it would be funny to... well, why don't you watch for yourself:
Sure, they are entertaining. Sure, they are funny. And I bet some would even say they're clever. I would argue that this is one of a handful of the best Listerine ads ever created. No I wouldn't. Or would I?
All I know is that they were both a pain in the ass and an amazing amount of fun to make.
I want to do an experiment and I need your help. If you like them, please tell everyone you have ever met about them. If you don't like them, tell everyone else. I want to see how high the numbers go on this commercial. If the number of views goes high enough, I may be able to refer to this ad as "viral." I don't exactly know what that means, but I hear it's a good thing.
Unlike the other stuff I've heard about that's viral. ...Not so good.
And for the record:
Glenn Chipman: Art Director, Actor, Voice talent, Director, Friend to Penguins.
Travis Kragh: Art Director, Actor, Voice talent (I dare you.), Bringer of Pizza, and Sock molester.
Matthew Gilman: Copy Writer, Voice Talent, Ticking time bomb, Mad-Ad-libber, Bearded Wonder.
p.s.
More sock puppets to come. LOTS more.
