now, normally Commercial Watch posts will be about commercials i like. but not this time...
have you seen this new campaign that tgi friday's has got going. the "fan woody" campaign? the commercial has this guy woody (tgi friday's #1 fan) and his two friends sitting around a table at a tgi friday's telling us about a new burger and then telling us that they all get a free one if he gets 500 000 fans on his "fan woody" facebook page by september 30th.
ya i get it. they are trying to build internet buzz and facebook recognition, etc... but come on. does woody have to be such a dud? and does the commercial have to be so not funny? now, i will say that that is the only ad i have seen. there may be more in the campaign and those may be funnier - or should i say funny. and maybe woody isn't so uninteresting in those. but, based on that one commercial...
if i wasn't so lazy i would create a "not fan woody" facebook page and try and get people to sign up for that. actually, i would creat a "not fan woodie" page, because we all know the expression: "any publicity is good publicity, as long as they spell your name right."
