I'm getting bored of visual ads. They've lost their originality and appeal.

Tripioso's picture 264 pencils

Well. I like it.

And it would be god to give som elinks to compare to previous ones.

Life's a Trip. Enjoy the Ride!

Look! In the corner! What IS that?!

Heeeey, A LOGO!!!! It's an ad for Pringles!!

strmkid's picture 35 pencils

wtf is this?

you seriously can't say anything better?

Jet Propulsion Lab's picture 10500 pencils

Ahem, but seriously folks...
This idea has been hashed and rehashed over and again that we all might be fed up with it by now. I know I am! But I don't hate it. Yeah, I did say to myself "not again!" But I do not hate this ad. We all got the idea immediately. We probably all got the message just by looking at the thumbnail image. That's a pretty powerful piece of visual communication. And that's probably an equivalent of driving past a billboard doing 60/mph and clearly getting what's advertised.
If I saw another "tongue" ad with the message of hot/spicy flavor, I'd probably lose my top. But then, I'd probably also walk away from the ad clearly understanding what the message was about...

LeeHarvey's picture 1773 pencils

Very well put mister JPL. Whenever I need a copywriter, can I give you call?

Jet Propulsion Lab's picture 10500 pencils

You can just gimme a call whenever you need a friend! ; )

LeeHarvey's picture 1773 pencils

Word! >;^)

tom tong baboon's picture 28 pencils

WELL, DONE ... BADLY. SORRY

idt's picture 44 pencils

i don't think it's relevant if it's done before. The idea is different.

For the Heinz ketchup, the visual resembled a tongue, which was also a connotation for deliciousness.

Here the tongue is out like a person would if it's burnt from something spicy. Hola! Ole.

All I hear is "done, done, done" but so frikkin' what? if it works, who the hell cares if it's been done before?

toomuchflystyles's picture 86 pencils

The idea is the same. The original was for hot/spicy ketchup. The tongue was not a connotation of deliciousness, but one of spiciness.

Plus, there's plenty of advertising that works. Think of anything in the shaving category. Or anything P&G. It works, and they have the testing/tracking to prove it. But I seriously doubt anyone wants to see this site littered with it.

Blue Koala's picture 156 pencils

No more tongue.

Alistair C.'s picture 692 pencils

done, but it's so simple and it works that maybe it's not worth the effort to scratch backwards.

gordon12's picture 7 pencils

It's fun. I like it. Simple.

rajar's picture 93 pencils

used. .. and looks like a "throw up" or an "urgh" rather than a "yumm" kinda tongue. sorry.

Whitefang's picture 474 pencils
