My thoughts on…the Domino’s Fudgems ads
You know those Domino’s Pizza ads with Fudgems, the brownie mascot? Well if you don’t, here it is. Did anyone notice that he looks like a giant turd? I didn’t realize it at first, but the more I saw it, and the more it was exposed to the corrupting forces of my mind, it hit me, especially when he hugged the woman and her daughter and smeared the both with “fudge.” And they were both giggling like idiots, like being hugged by something that for all we know could be Mr. Hanky’s morbidly obese cousin was an everyday occurence. People seem to have figured it out by the second ad, as dozens of people were chasing Fudgems. Happy customers who wanted more brownies, or an angry mob who found out that the brownies Domino’s was selling them were made in a bathroom and not a bakery? You decide.
I prefer Pizza Hut pizza to Domino’s. Domino’s pizza is short on crust, toppings, sauce, just about everything that makes a pizza a pizza. And they keep coming up with these ridiculous promotions to get people to buy their crappy pizza. But Pizza Hut keeps making good, hearty pizza, and focuses on innovating it, to constantly delight the customer’s palette. But enough pizza politics. Is an antropomorphic brownie really necessary to sell brownies? I mean who hates brownies? Certainly not me. I never met a brownie I didn’t like.
But grossness aside, these ads seem to be effective, as they caused two teens to break into a Domino’s at 5 in the morning to, get this, bake brownies. What kind of self respecting criminal breaks into a store to play Betty Crocker? Well, you broke into Domino’s to get some fudge, and now you’re gonna get your fudge packed in prison. If that’s not poetic justice, I don’t know what is. The guy was found with a marijuana pipe. He was stoned? Really? I hadn’t guessed. Here’s a mugshot of the retards. This latest promotion won’t get me to buy their subpar pizza, especially with a cubical turd pushing it.
P.S. When I logged into BlogMad Tuesday night, guess what I saw?
Thanks to all the BlogMad users who voted for me!
way to go re the votes
Never ate those things the ads for them look nasty.
Heeehee…
Have not seen that in our country. But just the “cubical turd” picture on you blog made me laugh. What’s with the “curly-smoke” things issuing from the brownie? Looked like the same thing we see used to depict “bad smell” in comics :>
De brownie mascot does have a fibrous look that makes it look manure-ish.
As much as the chocolate lover in me says go for it…I not really drawn to the brownie things at all. congrats on the votes.
eewww…ya’ll are killing me with the doo-doo jokes. LOL!
Hey congrats on the ranking, Leon.
here you go:
blogmad hit!
You’re not the only one. I thought it looked like a turd as well.
Big up on the votes. I feel you on the Pizza Hut pizza. It is definitely the pizza of choice. Dominoes just isn’t up there yet. Unfortunately for me, there’s no Hut in Portmore yet, so I have to stick with Dominoes for now.
I absolutely love brownies, used to make them everyday when I was about 16 years old.
I am against any food related mascot who is the product they are selling.
But fudgems is just nasty.
Congrats on the votes!
dont think i’ve ever had dominos but it doesnt appeal to me. pizza pizza is pretty good though
The ridiculous rib commercials Dominoes had earlier this summer were hilarious! How big were the ribs? Three or four inches…but, they tipped over all the delivery cars. OK!!
I haven’t had pizza in Jamaica like forever. But yeah Pizza Hut over Dominoes any day.
i used to have brownies for 10 cents a piece used to be wonderful here in dominos
U had me laughing out loud in the people and dem office when I read this. ‘And now they will get their fudge packed …’ Oh Lorsh! Ah weak!
and now I feel for a jelly donut
I hate those dumb ads with that stupid nasty walking brownie! I agree with you about liking Pizza Hut pizzas, Domino’s pizzas taste so damn nasty! I can’t stand it. pizza Hut is much, much better! Asfor those dumb, idiots, retards is just the word for them! Crazy!
Congrats on the ratings mi yute!
Hey Man, first time I saw that ad I giggled like a school girl. I think “nice gig” may have been the thought that popped into my head. What’s even funnier is when that little girl hugs the big turd and gets…ummm…well, it looks like some kind of scat play. Funny as hell!
Has anybody seen the new pizza hut ads claiming that America prefers pizza hut pan pizza nearly 2 to 1? or more ingredients than papa john’s and better than domino’s?
