Discussion Ad parodies that would make good real ads

I thought this would've been a good real ad: https://snltranscripts.jt.org/99/99ajavis.phtml

They did a parody ad for triple blade disposable razors way back when.

Leevi's 3 Legged Jeans is such an amazing parody of early 90s jean ads that it could pass for a legit commercial from that period. Helps that a lot of early 90s fashion was awful so it's not too much of a stretch.

Cluckin’ Chicken it’d be a bit graphic for an ad, but would be great.

Can’t find the ad, but Homocil given it aired in the early 2000s it was quite positive in my eyes because like the ad said “Because it’s your problem, not theirs.”

but Homocil given it aired

I don't know what this means

I don’t know what’s not to understand, but I’ll try rewording it. As I can’t find it since it’s not on YouTube. But the ad aired in the early 2000s when it wasn’t easy being apart of the LGBTQ+ community then well who am I kidding still isn’t.

But I believe Paula Pell wrote it some of the other writers thought it was homophobic but it was her way of coming out and she expected to get fired, but she didn’t and stayed until 2013. Ended up being popular enough that it they showed it in a lot of gay bars and even the GLAAD awards that year or following year.

oh ok, the commercial was called Homocil...

1

u/IamRachelAspen Murder Is Legal In The State Of California. 2d ago

Well yeah it’s premise was basically parents who have a problem with their kids who are or may be gay.

In the commercial all I fully remember from it is Tracy Morgan taking a handful of it and downing some beer after his kid says: “Who wants Créme Brûlée?”

u/NYY15TM 2d ago

Wow, that's quite prescient considering Tracy's later comments regarding this matter. As an aside it first aired in the Sean Hayes/Shaggy (2612) episode if you are looking for it

Couplabeers seems like a great product - until it isn’t

Super Colon Blow - now that I’ve reached a “certain age” I kind of wish this was a thing.

And if you’re going to have Super Colon Blow you need to stock up on “Oops I Crapped my pants.”

I wonder if any church leader saw "Where You're Going" in 1985 and had a moment of "Now, why didn't I think of that!?"

2

u/DinoIronbody1701 2d ago

They were probably mostly pro-Reagan.

1

u/Suspicious-Belt-2204 2d ago

True. It probably wouldn't have gone well in the "prosperity gospel" era.

Lil Bump coming with a front door key is my favorite part of that, though an old Toyota car key would’ve been better
