So I’m kind of done with this Overheard thing already, but I did hear one great thing this past weekend. It was a McDonald’s commercial on the radio. If you’re, you know, alive, you’ve seen they’re “I’m Lovin’ It” commercials, where they have been trying to appeal to a younger, hipper, less-inclined-to-actually-eat-at-McDonald’s audience. I swear this is what I heard:
YOUNG, HIP AND COOL AFRICAN-AMERICAN DJ: “Yo yo, ya’ll, McDonald’s Chicken Strips are on point! Check out our bangin’ Chipotle Sauce! Holla!”
This is what I actually heard him say. And then I thought how interesting it would be if other companies had tried the same tactic throughout the years.
-”Yo, homies, this new Ford Model T is ballin’ in all the right ways! Now that the car’s been invented, get yo’ azz rollin’ on dubs, G!”
-”Hit up the new Color Television from RCA! See the fly shorties bumpin’ and grindin’ in full crunktastic color! Holla!”
-”Introducing Viagra: It’ll set you up the ba-dump-ba-dump! Ya heard?!”
-”Don’t be a busta, fool. Put Valvoline in that g-ride and break up on out of the fuzz trying to lay that 187!”
-”Mentos is the freshmaker, peeps! Word up, blood!”
-”Get down with the New Coke! It’s off the hizzle for shizzle, nizzle! No diggity!”
-”Beef: It’s what’s for dinner. Blunts: It’s what’s for breakfast.”
-”Trix are for kids, silly rabbit. No, I mean it, back on up before I pop a cap, biatch. Front me and get gatted, ho. That’s what I thought, rabbit. And if you don’t know, now you know.”
