Ad For Kids Movie?

2 Comments

This ad campaign is currently everywhere. Apparently Dreamworks and company feel it’s not 100% tasteless to promote a kid’s movie as a pun on “What the Fuck Just Happened.”

But then again, if anyone had any sense of good taste they probably wouldn’t be working on another Mike Myers franchise.

Seriously, do they think 8-year olds get the joke? If so, we can’t wait for the inevitable McDonald’s tie ins. Kids will be saying “This Happy Meal tastes like Shrek” and “Go Shrek Yourself.”

This ad campaign is currently everywhere. Apparently Dreamworks and company feel it’s not 100% tasteless to promote a kid’s movie as a pun on “What the Fuck Just Happened.”

But then again, if anyone had any sense of good taste they probably wouldn’t be working on another Mike Myers franchise.

Seriously, is the agency behind this trying to appeal to kids and assume that 8-year olds get the joke?

Can’t wait to see the taglines for the inevitable McDonald’s tie ins. Kids will be saying “This Happy Meal tastes like Shrek” and “Go Shrek Yourself.”
