Daft Catchphrases

[ADarkDraconis]

Sealy mattresses had a pitch a while back where it would have commercials with banging noises and squeaking headboards and neighbors complaining about certain *ahem* noises. They were letting you know what great support their mattress springs give, as their slogan was "Whatever you do in bed, we support it" We got t-shirts at work from them that said that, and also one from a mattress cover and pillow company that said "Demand performance in bed" on the front and "The perfect threesome" on the back with pictures of their three products I wear it to mow the lawn!

Everytime anyone mentions this film I think I remember the slogan "cancer? - maybe, flavor- for sure!", but it never shows up in the quotes on IMDB etc.

Now wondering if that came from another source and somehow became associated with my (scanty) memories of the film.

(This happens quite frequently, one example: I had- still have- a clear memory of my father telling me of the death of my grandfather when I was very young. Recently I dropped by the cemetery on the way home from work and it turns out my grandfather died the year before I was born. Couldn't be confusing it with my other grandfather since he was still around when my father died)

I'm not saying it's quantum entanglement, but it's most likely quantum entanglement...

Curry's used to be:

'Curry's - no worries'. Which we did use against them when we bought a video recorder that was essentially trouble from day one and they were initially reluctant to replace, despite it going back a number of times in a few weeks.

We went in and said 'Curry's, no worries - yeah, no worries for you...'.

We got a new one in the end.

That ad is deeply disturbing. Very, very wrong. Clearly even cultural icons aren't sacred and more.

Part of my childhood just died

Now, that was a lie. I have never driven every car that Ford have ever !Ade.

To be fair though, you wouldn't want to, would you?

I do actually drive a Ford, when I can be bothered to drive at all.

Ours was 'Excellence is our Passion'.

Wow, “excellence” and “passion” in the same slogan? Whoever came up with that is a daffodil.

 

[pplpilot]

Not really a slogan but I've always thought 'Protect and survive' a bit of a non starter.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Every breath you take, I'll be watching you - The Police

Big brother in action.

One of the most annoying of the current crop has to be this one:

"We cross the T's, dot the I's, and put YOU in the middle!"
Sounds like they ran a staff competition to come up with something cheesey. You can picture the back-slapping at the staff meeting when some trainee got his/her cringeworthy invention picked. They probably got promoted and are now a team leader at the check in desks at Luton.

 

[NorthernDave]

I do actually drive a Ford

My condolences - sorry to hear that.

 

[Drago]

Yes, damn German cars

 

[Profpointy]

That’s the one. To be fair, it’s probably no more inane than “Vorsprung durch Technik” but you can get away with an awful lot of nonsense if you disguise it as exotic foreign wisdom.

I worked for a German owned company when that catchphrase was common. We coined the term "it is vank as ve say in Germany" ( using a suitably cod german accent ) when describing something not quite of the highest quality
