Inside the Shine Advertising Offices
Shine Creative Lead (CL): So here's where we're looking to take the brand this year.
Go Daddy: All right. We can't wait. You guys are genuises.
CL: OK, instead of having a brunette girl with titties this year, we were thinking -- get ready for this -- a blonde girl with titties.
Shine Account Manager (AM): Two of 'em.
CL: Good point, Tad. Two titties. They're going to be round...
AM: And jiggling.
CL: Definitely jiggling. We're also open to wet.
GD: You can give us wet?
AM: We've got some new tech for that. No problem.
GD: Sounds good.
CL: OK, but we're not done yet. These titties? These wet, jiggling titties? They're going to be... wait for it... wait for it...
AM: I can't wait any longer!
CL: Sit down, Tad. OK, the titties will be... Large!
GD: I was just thinking large. Not small?
AM: Small didn't test well in our focus group.
CL: Yeah, small is definitely out this year. We feel very strongly about large.
GD: How big was the focus group?
AM: 50 people, over 5 separate meetings. I'll e-mail you the findings.
GD: Excellent.
CL: I'm glad you are on board with the blonde with the large, jiggling, wet titties.
GD: Well, we do have one concern.
AM: Let her rip. This is a brainstorming session.
GD: Well, the girl. With the titties. Does she have to be... blonde?
(Awkward silence)
GD: We were just thinking, you know. Brunette is our *brand*.
CL: I see.
GD: And we're pretty attached to it.
AM: Yeah.
(Awkward silence)
GD: Weren't you the guys who pitched us on the brunette last year?
CL: I'm really sorry, but Tad and I have a 2 o'clock.
AM: Right, with the, the, the thing.
CL: Promise to think about the blonde?
GD: I guess.
AM: Great. I'll follow up with you later this week.

You could have at least said, "inspired by Bill Hicks." Very unoriginal.
Bill Hicks had vitriol, this more SJ Perelman. And I likes it.
For the record, I have heard the Hicks bit, but I wasn't thinking of it when I wrote this. But fair.
And SJ Perelman? Holy crap. Anyone who hung with the Brothers Marx makes my horn honk. Hat tip.
