Is it clever? Yes
Would I notice it? Yes again
Would I smile at it? No
Would I remember it? Yes (but not for the right reason)
Would I call him to come to my home...NO!

No matter how amusing it might be I would be concerned for him to be around my family while I was at work.

Here's my $0.02: It's a clever idea. Will it offend some? Probably, some people take offense at the least little thing.

The thing that stands out for me is that it really isn't "selling" and that's what advertising is supposed to do. I think you need a reason to get people to pick up the phone and call. The client may get people talking about the ad, but my guess is that he wants them to do more than talk. Think about all the Super Bowl ads that create a buzz, but don't bring in the revenue.

It's said that if in Ireland you stop a local and ask for directions the initial response will be.

"Well, I wouldn't start from here".

Client "How do I advertise my business?"

What could the writer say, while holding up copy? I think the Irish response hits the nail on the head.

If we all get removed from Anita's Christmas card list we have no others to blame but ourselves.

Charlie's needed the spitoon sound effect at the end whereas Deidre's ageing Kindergarten Vice-Principal had that certain something.

I just think it's grand that Anita offered up this spot for discussion.

I would hire her to help me work on creating commercials because it's clear from this sample that she's got a good inner clock and a grip on word flow.

and in re prudery: My off-air behavior can be quite wild, but the stuff I put on the airwaves is nearly always going to be "Rated E for Everyone". The way I talk in real life is a far cry from the kind of thing I would ever say on the radio and I am quite picky about the sponsors I ally myself with.

auggh. preposition at the end of a sentence.
Oh, well.

Tsk, where did that come from? On some script it's a bang clients want to go out with. Fast piece to time or one with comedy that is allowed to breath, someone has to decide which.
