Even a crappy ad can be made interesting.
June 15th, 2009
If there’s one form of commercial that begs for the “mute” button to be hit, it’s those awful infomercials with Vince, aka, the Sham Wow Guy.
His latest mind-numbing work is for some Popeil-like product called the Slap-Chop. Some enterprising film freaks took Vince’s formulaic “it slices, it dices” spot and did a terrific mash-up of it. You can view it here.
The interesting thing is I think the mash-up does a much better job of selling the product that Vince’s hard-sell stuff. Plus it doesn’t have you heading for the mute button.
What do you think?
