So dVerse wants all to go all marketing in the media at their show. Of course with a movie mention that got the cat's attention. So let's see what the cat can recall for thee. Some blatant advertising can be fun to at least let a rhyme be spun.
Here's 20 million bucks,
To fool the dumb ducks.
Bond now drinks coke,
So all will follow that bloke.
Look! Jack Bauer is captured by the Chinese.
We get to see it on a DVD set tease.
Damn, rescued with a shiny brand new car.
Toyota's ability sure does extend far.
Tweedle dee and tweedle dum,
Act away while chewing some gum.
It's extra minty flavor,
Is sure to beat that life saver.
Time to track down the bad guy.
We will do it on the first try,
With our brand new Windows eight.
Come now, take the bait.
Geico saving you 15% or more,
Wait! State Farm is something of lore.
No! Liberty Mutual takes the cake,
This guy, that guy, their info is fake.
Come to subway,
The Buy More has it on display.
Along with Happy Gilmore.
Come now, feel free to explore.
No time to play?
Let Fed Ex take your cares away.
I mean it worked for Hanks,
Wilson too gives a big thanks.
Sit with Mac and Me.
McDonald's will sure thank thee.
An alien who likes fast food.
That is some great attitude.
I'm not lyin,
As pizza hut is what you are spyin'
Just because my lying is an invention,
Does not mean they don't deserve a mention.
Now just Transform-er away,
With plenty of GM on display.
At least they go boom,
For their blatant advertising doom.
Did you get them all as I went almost full movie at my hall? Could not resist the insurance stuff, as each is better, or so they huff. If anyone real drinks coke or any other crap because of some fake famous chap, that makes the cat sad. You humans are more gullible than a two year old lass or lad. But it must work as they advertise in mass, which is simply ignored by my little rhyming ass.
Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.
No.#1
ReplyDeleteHank
Still on top
DeleteNot to flop
nice job incorporating the ads within the poem. It always is something I pay attention to when watching a show, is the internal product placements, nowadays most are done subtly, yet once in a while you get the kind that are just way out of left field, like for example, say if a guy is in a heated battle against aliens and then all of a sudden he just happens to have a coke, holds up clearly to the camera drinks it, says ahh, then goes back to shooting the aliens. That wasn't a great example but sometimes they placements are just so in your face you just have to laugh at them. Great write lots of fun in the truth you've spun
ReplyDeleteYeah many a time they are there
DeleteI see them and don't care
But those ones that are in your face
Truly are pathetic at a steady pace
But I guess they get the movie made
So they can't let the advertising fade
Bond could drink coke
ReplyDeleteNot really a joke
It was fun to the taste
Even taken in haste
Toyota and John Bauer
Made things that blur
McD,Fed-Ex and all the rest
They sure tried their best
We just observe, let them be
It was their wish to make money!
Hank
Yeah that i the way
DeleteJust to watch at ones bay
Then shrug and walk off
Letting them scoff
About all the dough they dropped
As the screen cropped
Good thing Bond doesn't eat cat food... or I'd feel I need to have some too.
ReplyDeletehaha well Riggs ate dog treats in good old Lethal Weapon 3
DeleteGonna try those at your sea?
I know not
ReplyDeleteof what
you speak
for I am
too miserly
and cheap.
No telly
I own
so I can't
hear them
cawk as
crows about
products that
blow.
Haven't seen an advert in about five years Cat and I don't miss it. But I will spend 20 minutes looking at cat food wondering what my Princess Fang will like best, and this is an animal that licks it's own arse. Jaysus, maybe I should just let feckin Purina tell me what all the cool cats are eating these days. It would be quicker.
I haven't seen one in a while
DeleteFor I don't have cable so can't change the dial
Just get them from online
And no commercials makes it divine
Not feb yet
You lied to this pet haha
Have to watch what is in the food
Can be really rude
I missed you so much Cat, I couldn't wait till February to see you (choke, gag, vomit, lie). Things are easing up a tad bit over here so I'll pop in from time to time.
DeleteHave a good Sunday Cat.
haha made you gag
DeleteHope the vomit went into a rag
Glad things are easing up too
Always fun to have you spew haha
For most advertising I won't vote
ReplyDeleteIt makes me run to my remote
Why tell me more than I want to hear
You'll have me crying in my beer
I don't care about your nasal drip
I'd rather practice an aerial flip
Your anal tissue is hot with pain
Go for a walk in the cooling rain
Your husband can't perform any more
Not my problem..... Here's the door
You like to talk about a catheter tube
Watch my dust you country rube
You say your pimples are oozing pus
Oh god you're disgusting all of us
Bodily functions are your bailiwick?
I'd like to whack you with a stick
Yuck, brushing your teeth in a looking glass
I'd rather be watching cat's little rhyming ass
Wow I think
DeleteCommercials sure bring you to the brink
As the puss oozes away
One must look away
And that little blue pill
Could give some a thrill
Then again they aren't done
They have to give the fine print run
Could cause a rash
Could make you eat trash
Could drive you insane
Watch it while driving in that third lane
Don't take with this or that
Could go all zombie at your mat
Avoid food for three hours before
Or you could end up at death's door
And in rare cases we will say
See you later, enjoy the view as you ashes get spread in the bay
That was an excellent rhyme, Manzanita. You're giving the Cat a run for his money!
DeleteA cheer squad are you
DeleteNow at my zoo
Loved this thread!
DeleteVery well said,
Don't watch TV
Prefer a DVD
or a walk by the lake
For goodness sake
Yeah prefer the dvd too
DeleteHere at my zoo
Good spin on adveritisng, the cat's sure good at socialising. He brings the people and the crowd, we love your poems and sing 'em out loud. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
The cat can do all
DeleteHere at his hall
With his rhyming flow
He can even put on an ad show
Very Well Done!! I usually tape the shows I watch so I can flip through those comercials as fast as I can.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha.... I see Manzi is giving you a run for your money with the rhymes.
haha yeah she brought a ton
DeleteWith her rhyming fun
And I skip them too
But getting my shows with none there to view
I guess Fedex doesn't just work for Hanks Wilson, it allows Hank to be here super fast as well haha. Great rhymes Cat, always love reading your blog on a day off, gives me a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteYeah Hank still wins with his burst
DeleteMaking it to a lurking first
Love, love, love this. You ARE the master of rhymne.
ReplyDeleteA master I can be
DeleteOr at least fake it at my sea
Do you know that they don't make things to last for a long time now? Like you have to buy a new software or equipment every few years, so they will have more money. Some ads are misleading, so I don't believe it until I see it for myself ~
ReplyDeleteHave a good Sunday Pat ~
Yeah I knew that
DeleteThey make it so things break at your mat
When really they don't have to
But just want to suck money from you
I don't think I'd be spying for pizza hut
ReplyDeletethere's better pizza for the gut
Each for me
DeleteIs blah at my sea
There sure are ads everywhere these days! Maybe I can get a tail flag ad!
ReplyDeleteWell they may pay you to advertise
DeleteAs your tail swats the flies
Great! Love this! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you like
DeleteMy advertising hike
ha did you just sit and watch and snatch them as they ran across the screen screaming look at me look at me i have what you want, product placed perfectly to get your attention, really nice take cat
ReplyDeletehaha I remember quite a few
DeleteThat I have given a view
Ran with what popped in
To my bin
Whew, insurance claims (ha, pun intended) drive me crazy. We switched last year after a long haul w/one co. and it was not fun finding someone else. The cheap fees are just that, cheap. They cover next to NOTHING, lol.
ReplyDeleteYeah they make you jump through hoops
DeleteAnd then throw you for loops
With each claim
They really are anything but tame
Commercials can be annoying for sure
ReplyDeleteThey are the television equivalent of a brochure
Every once in a while though, one strikes me as funny
Makes me laugh and makes my disposition sunny
Usually though, I DVR so that I can simply fast-forward
this way, I can move closer to the show toward.
Yeah sometimes there is one
DeleteThat can be fun
Although I never watch them at all
These days at my hall
ha..isn't it interesting how many "ads" you have during a normal movie..cool nod to cast away..a fantastic movie
ReplyDeleteYeah it can be ad free
DeleteBut they are not as plenty are there to see
Thanks for stopping by. It's too funny when I read your post I think I'm gonna start rhyming for pity sakes & you surely don't want that. LOL Have a great day & yes I got them all I'm afraid. I need to get a life. LOL
ReplyDeletehaha bah at least a ton you know
DeleteThere at your show
And rhyme away
That is fine at my bay
What a job you did my friend
ReplyDeleteon how "commercials" and movies blend
I find those ads quite frustrating
and upon further investigatin'
IMHO it's not so swell,
it sends the movie straight to h*ll!
Good take Pat!
P.S. Know how much that you like rhyme
check mine out if you have time!
Yeah it does send it down
DeleteTo such a town
At least most anyway
As they try to advertise away
And sure will come
With my little rhyming bum
Ads can be so annoying! Blah!
ReplyDeleteThat they are
DeleteNear and far
Ha, I think I caught all the references in there. I really dislike commercials. Thanks goodness for my DVR.
ReplyDeleteYeah I hate them too
DeleteWhich is why I never give them a view
I'm not too influenced by ads, but I have to say I do enjoy waching the ads during the Super Bowl :)
ReplyDeleteI love your creativity in writing about them though :)
betty
Yeah those are usually the only ones
DeleteThat are worth ad runs
I use to brag of being commercial-free,
ReplyDeletebut your poem has brought be to my knees,
to repent my blindness to sub-liminal stuff
it in the movies!
Shit how righteous purity is tough!
Yeah never truly ad free
DeleteAs there are always many
Here or there
At your lair
Once in a while there is a really funny commercial on tv
ReplyDeletebut most of them are just too cheesy.
It used to be the big chill
during the super bowl thrill
but those are just so dumb now
they will make you have a cow.
Where has all the creativity gone?
Now they just sing a dumb song.
lol....
Yeah they used to be good
DeleteNow many are as dull as wood
Just there to make all stare
And hope they become aware
Although sometime the song can be fun
Depending on how it is spun
Very true that sometimes a good one comes along
Deleteand it's usually because of the song.
So next month when it comes around
you can dance in your socks all over town!
Or at least just in your apartment
as the cats watch in silence.
ha.
Prob break my leg as I did that haha
DeleteBut I don't watch it anyway at my mat
So I'll be safe there
The cats will still stare
yeah, they will stare..,.
Deletejust like mind do when I pull out my wooden spoon mic with flare.
hahaha.
haha you have far more eyes
DeleteAs they twirl around like flies
Ah Pat/ cat you sleep? because sometimes I feel your brain works ALL the time never stop!;)
ReplyDeleteDon't sleep much at my sea
DeleteHave to keep on writing and be a busy bee
WILSON!!! I loved him just as much as Hanks. As for your reminder about him - thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah Wilson was grand
DeleteAs Hank's lived off the land
On our wondrous BBC
ReplyDeletethe channels are, they say, ad-free,
but listen carefully and forsooth,
you'll find that this is not the truth,
for several times in every hour
they use their massive media power
to tell us of forthcoming shows -
those aren't adverts I suppose.
Well that isn't so bad
DeleteAt least you could see some new shows at your pad
Beats the same old food or car crap
That over here takes a lap
Ha, you have told it like it is, Pat!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, kudos for you & Cat!
The cat always tries
DeleteAs the rhyme flies
Aha Pat in the Hatt,
ReplyDeleteVery good and in your land,
Me thinks you know where you stand.
I once went for a Happy Meal
What's the deal
I didn't feel happy from such a meal
What shall I do
Can I sue?
And with that....it's over to you...
Well unless you found a rat head
DeleteOr thumb to cause you dread
Not much you can do
But get rid of it out the old gazoo haha
It is really disgusting how pervasive product placement is. And you probably aren't even aware of all of it.
ReplyDeleteYeah some you will never see
DeleteAs it will even get by me
Lots to pick from with this one Pat.
ReplyDeleteResisting the insurance pitch is effortless for most of us. Now pizza and desserts are a different story.
Yeah one can avoid that good
DeleteThe rest can be tough for some in their hood
lol, I totally like to imagine that I'm Sofia Vergara when I drink Diet Pepsi :) haha. And I love your rhyming take on the Insurance Industry- as that is my industry! :) haha- yes, we all huff that we are better than the next.
ReplyDeletehaha huffing away
DeleteThat you're the best insurance bay
But the same can be said for most anything
Saying they are the best at their wing
So much branding!
ReplyDeleteMind = blown.
Can brand away
DeleteI should get paid at my bay
The only time I enjoy advertising is during the Super Bowl. Any other time it's fast forward through the TIVO. However, product placement in my favorite shows are popping up more and more I noticed, which is as equally annoying as the commercials I just skipped.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is why it is showing up more and more
DeleteBecause they want to catch all the skippers at their shore
i actually knew some movies, that rarely happens, excuse me while I go on a shopping trip!
ReplyDeletehaha glad you got some
DeleteAs i gave them a hum
