You Son Of A Biscuit Eating Bulldog!

If you were to ask what my favorite gum was, hands down, it would be Orbit! Not only do I love their gum, but I love their commercials as well, which have been replayed numerous times lately on tv. With their unique themes, they leave the viewer with a witty thought of their product.

The opening screen of the commercial is very plain and lacking any bright colors. A glass bottle flies in out of no where and the funniness begins! You just have to see the commercial for yourself, but let me warn you, you may want to watch it frequently just for a good laugh! Also, pay attention to the guy and his coworker who are chomping away on their gum the whole time! Do they really need to chomp that hard?

I hear people say “What the French toast?” and “Stinky McStinkface” all the time. Even though these catch phrases are not very nice, I love the way this commercial spins common expressions which its viewers have adapted. This is just another way to publicize the Orbit brand

It’s funny when the Orbit lady randomly appears and simply says “Fabolus” and Bill, his wife, and the co-worker are suddenly smiling! They are in the background trying to basically kill each other though when Orbit’s famous phrase is shown: “A good clean feeling, no matter what!” Also, if you pay attention, the colors of the Orbit lady’s tie matches the packaging colors of the Raspberry Mint flavor being advertised. You can also relate her white suite with the clean white look the gum will make your teeth!

Overall, I believe this is thirty seconds of very random yet entertaining advertising. After all, “over reacting was when I put your convertible through a wood chipper!”
