The Internet Is On Life Support

So you’re telling me your business

Uses AI to write reviews

To improve my website traffic

And increase my daily views?

Then you show your website

And your 4.9 on Yelp

And expect me to believe you?

No, I do not need your help.

Crossfit

There once was a marketing guy

Who was looking for what you should buy.

There was a gym with some rope

And he said “It’d be dope

“If we whip those around. Don’t ask why.”

Marketing, Baby!

Women buy all kinds of scented candles

With scents like Carmel Apple and Sandalwood.

These candles smell like what the label tells you

And that kind of clarity is good.

The reason men don’t buy more scented candles

Is because the candles don’t have scents for a guy

Like “Cool Sports Rush”, “Hang Ten”, or “Anaconda”

Which are the smells we men have proved we’ll buy.

Now THIS Is A Social Movement I Can Get Behind

If we all just agreed not to buy

What we see on TV for a year

We could put advertising behind us

And forever be ad-free and clear

What? You’re Not Immediately Buying My Books? I Guess The Stock Music And Multiracial Couples From The TV Do Something After All…

There once was a guy and his dog

And they read limericks on a blog.

Now he’s married to a hotty

And he drives a bugatti

And he owns a sweet mansion in Prague.

Apparently “Cosby-Cola” Is Not An Appropriate Suggestion

Our market research team said

Flavors that combine two fruity flavors

Like “strawberry-kiwi” and “lemon-lime”

Are massive money savers.

They asked us all to pick a pair

Of fruity tastes to try.

I suggested “date-grape”

And now I’m fired. They won’t say why…

Hygiene Standards

I walked down the rows

Of “Bed, Bath, and Beyond“

Smelling hand soaps with names

Like “Starlight” and “Palm Frond”.

Then I left to go back

To “Bob’s Soap Retailer”

Where they sell soap called “White”

And “Hope She Lets You Impale ‘Er”.

Or We Could Just Choose An Animal And Interrupt Your Football Game…

Back when Youtube first began

A bunch of kids created

Videos so funny that

Folks nearly suffocated.

Now, insurance companies

Pay grown-ups lots of money

To make commercial messages

Which somehow still aren’t funny.

If you want to sell me

Some insurance or the like

You should fire your writing staff

And hire some kid named Mike

‘Cause when I see an ad that says

“We’re expensive, we won’t lie

“But we’re not just corporate assholes”

That’s the moment that I’ll buy!

Instead Of Going Back In Time To Kill Hitler, Consider This Guy

“What if, instead of selling stuff

To people who will buy it

We interrupt TV and stuff

To talk about a diet,

A tv show, a sugar drink,

A car, or car insurance?

That should make folks love us,

Or at least that’s my inference!”

But No! The Advertisers HAD To Lie To You…

I think the greatest opportunity

Anyone ever missed

Was “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”

Not making butter, ’cause what a twist!
