Simple. Solid.

I found this ad for Pearl Izumi running shoes while perusing the Advertising for Peanuts blog. I like it. Why? Because it isn't trying to be something it's not. Simply a good ad that speaks to the target, with language that the target can clearly relate to. Ahh, simplicity.



So the moustache rhymes were a monumental success. I walked off the stage to a standing ovation. Much love to the Label, the sketch comedy crew that put on the festivities. By the way, Eric Nigg is my new favorite local comedian (other than Maddoo). Just real fucking solid.

Where is the moustachio viral video?!

I want my Youtube. Money for nothing and the chicks for free.

It should be coming out shortly. We didn't mic it so I'm curious to see how the sound quality is. At one point in the midst of rhyming awesomeness, I launched my gum at least 8 rows into the audience without skipping a beat.

Stafford told me that you made a girl cry this weekend too!

Busy, busy...

Sorry I missed the event, man. post a viral soon.

About the ad, it looks great, unfortunately, the headline is a direct lift from Dave Attell's standup act. Sorta ruins it for me.

Damn, seriously? I don't know where this ad was done and when it was done. Dave Attel isn't even that funny.

Falch, yes, I made your friend Max's wife cry. She sucks the lifeforce right out of me. I apologized to great lengths and she went ballistic. I have an inkling that relationship has a dim outlook. Then again, I am an asshole, especially at 4 in the morning post-shirtless Sabbath air guitar.

Crispin did it. And recently, too. We have a little piece of Pearl Izumi's business --some biker shit, which we haven't done much for recently. James (my AD partner) did this video a while back, though. Check it out.
