I have to say, I love this spot where some guy rides an
escalator though a mall filled with joke non-edible bacon products, like Bacon
Couture fashions, a movie called Baconado
(an obvious joke on Sharknado, but
which would make a good name for a bacon and avocado sandwich), sunglasses with
bacon-patterned lenses, a bacon-themed high-top basketball sneakers, a guy
getting an around-the-arm bacon tattoo, and then finally, the one product that’s
actually real: a bacon-scented perfume (this joke one is called: “BACÖLOGNE”).
And then the announcer says: “Bacon you can’t eat is bacon you don’t need.”
Then they show off the Bacon Club Chalupa.
While I think this ad would have been even better for just a
brand of bacon, I can hardly gripe about such trifles with an ad that’s so much
fun. And there really is a whole lot of hoopla and non-edible type products
about bacon, so it really jumps on this silly cultural trend in a clever way.
Nice job!
Here’s the brilliant bacon bit:
