Chip Shot: Four things you don’t want to hear coming
from the next bathroom stall. 1.” I told the waiter, no peanuts. I told the
waiter, no peanuts!” 2. “Another pair of wingtips, ruined.” 3. “No, no. You
caught me at a perfect time. Let’s do the mortgage application by phone.” 4.
“Oh, man … pants off first, then sit down! Stupid! Stupid!”
Every Parent of a Twentysomething,
Will LOL at This

Okay, if
you’re an empty nester with a kid out there trying to survive on their own,
you’ll laugh at this ad
for a new book, Quarter Life Poetry, due out in April. I don’t really care
about the book, but the ad nails how twentysomethings try to be amusingly
independent.
Apparently Arby’s Forgot How to Say,
“Fish”

Signs
During our
recent trip to Bonita Springs, FL, Leslie spotted this retail established.

Following
are two other interesting retail names that I had in the files.

cleans it up?
SAUSAGE
PARTY - OFFICIAL RESTRICTED MOVIE TRAILER IS SO FUNNY IT WILL $@&% YOU UP
(NSFW)

This is definitely NSFW but it will make most people lol.
Sausage Party is about one sausage leading a group of supermarket products on a
quest to discover the truth about their existence and what really happens when
they become chosen to leave the grocery store. The trailer is really funny
… if you’re into using four-letter words. The film is by Seth Rogers … so it’s
funny in a sick way.
The film features the vocal talents of a who’s who of today’s comedy stars –
Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, Michael Cera, James Franco,
Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Paul Rudd, Nick Kroll, David Krumholtz, Edward
Norton, and Salma Hayek.
No
Sense in Aiming Too High

Vintage
Ad

Let me tell
you something about that “Horizontal opening,” … it doesn’t work. He won’t
“love them.”
Seriously?
A 4 inch
“Shacker.” I could think of a lot of lines that are funnier than the one used
in this ad.

Chip Shot: You know you have a drinking
problem when the bartender knows your name … and you’ve never been in the place
before.
In Honor of the Spring Golfing Season in
the Midwest

Here is a compilation of 10 funny golf-related commercials.
My favorite is the e-Trade baby and his famous “Shankapotomus” line. Of course,
you can’t beat the tried and true “crotch shots” for lol entertainment. And
Calloway’s “Want to go again?” is also rather hilarious … to men.
Vintage Poster is Still Up to Date

This Superman poster from the 50’s is still relevant today …
maybe more relevant considering the increased emphasis schools are putting on
anti-bullying campaigns. (Thanks to Ryan C. for sharing this.)

Chip Shot: I made a voodoo doll
of myself and gave it a little back rub.
