Wanted to start posts of 'Goebbels' classics', so without further to do, here's the first one.
The shape of the product is totally unique, and therefore the end shot could not have been used for any other product. Couldn't be 'Ford, You know you want it'. Couldn't be 'Tampax, You know you want it'. It was uniquely Mattesons, and therefore something pretty special and deserving of being the first post in the Goebbels' Classics series.
A related YouTube video turned out to be a totall pis* take, apparently someone thought it would be funny to get two teenage girls to deepthroat a sausage and mock Mattesons.
Got to say I didn't laugh, great sense of humour girls, but I guess that's the catch with having user generated content online. The whole magic of the original ad was the subtlety, yes there are undertones but it's dealt with maturely whereas the girls advert with the double ended sausage fellation does nothing to A. Increase the integrity of the brand or B. Say anything true about the product.
Anyone know who did the original spot?
