Comments on: Worst of the Week: Charmin's "Enjoy the Go" Campaign http://www.admavericks.com/2009/10/23/worst-of-the-week-charmins-enjoy-the-go-campaign/ Lessing-Flynn - Advertising In Des Moines, IA Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:40:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Steve http://www.admavericks.com/2009/10/23/worst-of-the-week-charmins-enjoy-the-go-campaign/#comment-2169 Steve Sun, 20 Mar 2011 09:27:56 +0000 http://admavericks.com/?p=2301#comment-2169 I saw this commercial for Charmin last week and just about fell out with laughter when I saw this completely ludicrous tag line, "Enjoy the Go." Seriously? Who comes up with this stuff? I actually just contacted P&G through their website inquiring as to what they were thinking. I mean there's bad and then there's really bad. As I explained to them, while relieving one's self is completely natural, it is more a matter of necessity not equated with enjoying a delicious meal or a robust cup of premium coffee. I would be curious as to what agency sold them on this campaign. I can't say much for the copywriter but the marketing guru that sold them on this deserves kudos. I bet he laughed all the way home from that meeting. "Enjoy the Go." Seriously? I mean c'mon seriously? Unbelievable.

Whipple Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:10:46 +0000 http://admavericks.com/?p=2301#comment-236 I applied for the Time's Square job. I was wondering who were the five that got the job. I thought I had a chance because I'm a real Mr. Whipple. But the same old thing happened that has happened to me since I lost my automotive job five years ago. That is, I'm a white male over 50, no one wants to give me a job. All of the call backs I saw were under 30 and the interviewers were also too young to even have known the impact Mr. Whipple had on Charmin. You know, I still to this day get: "Mr. Whipple, please don't squeeze the Charmin." I've been advertising your product for most of my life and have not received any compensation for my work for you, that's why I thought I should have gotten the job. I would have been able to make the seniors more at ease. I feel I should be given another chance at working for you. Bring back the Mr. Whipple commercials and I will be happy to be your new Mr. Whipple. At least send me coupons for some free Charmin.
