Viva Viagra?

On November 14, 2007, in advertising, by Brett

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with the corniest commercial of the year:

Nothing manlier than sitting in a shed with a bunch of guys singing about what I need to put more lead in my pencil.

As of this post, the different variations of the ad have been viewed more than 200,000, and obviously parodied plenty.

So here’s my question to you: does Viagra and its ad agency think this is a legitimate commercial, or is it corny on purpose so we bloggers spread the word? Do you think it works?

    That is a trip! Love those middle-aged jam sessions and then hit the road on my bike…

    Yeah, we should plan one of these little outings. Looks like a lot of fun. Maybe their next commercial will feature “Get UP – Sex Machine” by James Brown.

    Get up (Get up uh), I say Get on up (Get up uh). . . . .
