Two more Ads We Love! (Somebody did a lot of TV watching yesterday evening.) You know how each year around Father's Day a zillion new shavers come on the market, featuring all the latest razor gadgetry? Three blades, four blades, silcone coated blades. Agh, it's too complicated! Whatever happened to the barber shop, the warm foam, and the straight blade? (Not that I'd know, I'm just going off of common nostalgia.) Well, Norelco has a funny new spoof spot on all those razor ads: The Quintippio Mega Shave, "fifteen extra large blades!" Of course, then it turns into a real ad for Norelco's Cool Skin shaver, but just ignore that and bask in the satire that is Quintippio.The Geico ads have always been quietly amusing, but I think they finally have a winner with the Speed Racer spot: Trixie helicopters above Speed as he's...um...racing. She warns him that the bridge is out! Oh no!
Trixie: "You're in extreme danger!"
Speed: "Gasp! The bridge is out?"
Trixie: "Don't worry Speed, I have good news!"
Speed: "Tell me Trixie!"
Trixie: "I just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico!"
Cut to Speed, gaping and blank faced, realizing he's probably going to plummet off a cliff. Best use of vintage cartoon footage that I can think of, actually.
1. This is the razor I have been looking all over the web for! The Quintippio Mega Shave, "fifteen extra large blades!"
The closest I found was only a 10 blade razor.
:-(
I think the 15 blade is just what I need, I have had two electric razors and no matter how long I shave it always looks like I need a shave after I finish, all little hairs still sticking out all over I am tired of it. So then I saw the Quintippio Mega Shave and said that is the razor for me I need to buy one of those!
Who sells this where do you buy one?
