So, yeah, I was up literally all night with two sick dogs (they\u2019re fine now, I am not) and I\u2019m not going to say I\u2019m pooped (har), but I\u2019m completely fried, and I might even resent y\u2019all a little for my compulsion to post here anyway \u2014 I\u2019ll unpack that once my brain is fully back online. Anyway, here are five Ads I Wish I\u2019d Made, presented without any commentary or whatever because\u2026 something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t even know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chevrolet, \u201cWe Even Made the Mirrors Bigger\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ad:<\/em> Chevrolet print ad<\/a>, \u201cWe even made the mirrors roomier\u201d (Honorable mention: \u201cWe put the spare where the sun don\u2019t shine\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because:<\/em> I like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\t\t\t


We even made the mirrors roomier.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflect on this: The all-new Blazer is roomier and more comfortable than ever. There\u2019s ample leg room and lots more shoulder and elbow room. We even made the rear cargo area big enough to literally fit a washing machine. All without making the new Blazer as big as an 18-wheeler. How? With mirrors, of course. Visit your Chevy dealer and see for yourself. For a free brochure or video call 1-800-950-0540.<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

Land Rover, \u201cSpot the Range Rover\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ad:<\/em> Land Rover print ad<\/a>, \u201cCan you spot the Range Rover in this picture?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because:<\/em> I like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you spot the Range Rover in this picture?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goodbye road. Goodbye traffic. Goodbye 5 m.p.h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Range Rover does something far more impressive than get you through a traffic jam in air-conditioned, arm-chaired, stereo-surrounded comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Range Rover takes you where there are no jams. Because there is no traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the woods. Along the beach. Across the desert. Range Rovers, after all, are so extraordinary, they drive for years in places ordinary cars couldn\u2019t drive a quarter of a mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it\u2019s not surprising that to many a Range Rover\u2019s most luxurious feature isn\u2019t its elegant interior, optional sunroof, or the security of 24 hour roadside assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its most luxurious feature is its ability to provide an experience a bit more exhilarating than a highway to the suburbs at six p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not call 1-800-FINE 4WD for the Range Rover dealer nearest you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We won\u2019t deny that at somewhat above $34,000 a Range Rover is hardly inexpensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after all the time you\u2019ve spent in trafficlikethis, what could be nicer than going off on your own?<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

Devil Wears Prada, The Musical, \u201cMind the Diors\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"Small<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Because:<\/em> I like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heathrow, \u201cHeathrow Bears\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ad:<\/em> Heathrow Christmas Bears ad from, like, 2017 or something that I already called out for a Weepy Honorable Mention<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
