Axe Chocolate Man Newest Creepy Ad Spokesperson

One of the creepiest things I have ever written about in this humor blog is the new Axe Dark Chocolate pitchman, Chocolate Man. He is not the first in the wave of uncomfortable spokespersons in advertising but Chocolate Man won’t be the last. You can be sure of that.

No dude it is creepy but besides that fact tying together food and sexy fragrances is, well weird. There was that perfume women wore in the 90’s called Vanilla Fields and it made them smell like cupcakes. I dated this one girl who wore it and all we did was go out to eat. Perfume/cologne should not make you hungry.

Next up on the list of creepy ad mascots is The King.

I think they should have someone playing him in every Burger King. His job is to walk around, sit down next to people eating and stare uncomfortably at them. What the hell, make a reality show out of it. There’s a lot of potential there. They could even make a special edition DVD with all the outtakes from people who don’t take kindly to The King creeping them out. They could call it: “When Fast Food Patrons Attack”

Then there is Smiling Bob from the Enzyte commercials.

Despite the creepy factor those ads were much less gross then the Viva Viagra commercials.  A bunch of guys sitting around in a jam session singing about how they can’t wait to have sex with their wives when they get home almost makes me want to take a Crying Game shower.

The winner hands down though has to be the Six Flags guy.

How that one got the green light is amazing to me. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for the pitch meeting…

Pitchman: “Okay, so we have this old guy with a funny-looking face wearing odd clothing dancing and asking kids to get on his bus so he can take them to our amusement park.”

Pitchman’s assistant: “Right, but it’s not Michael Jackson.”

Pitchman: “And we start the campaign off by advertising on milk cartons.”

Six Flags Executive: “Are you kidding?”

Pitchman: “No.”

Six Flags Executive: “I love it! When can we have the ads done?”

The Bloggers Speak interview segment usually scheduled for Monday was experiencing technical difficulties. Angry Seafood apologizes and blames it on global warming.

Coming up Tuesday is the second installment of ‘US Voter Jokes‘. This time around we get a sneak peak at one of the jokes the politicians were telling about us while they were busy bailing out their Wall Street friends last week.

Go back and check out this past weekend’s Musical Interlude for some amazing guitarists doing rock versions of ‘Canon in D’ as well as stand-up comic Rob Paravonian complaining about the subject.
