Dead Slogan Society!

DEAD SLOGAN SOCIETY!!!
So we all have that one slogan that we wish did better. That ONE slogan that we liked, but just went in the tank... This is were we can work together, to improve that slogan, dig it out of the grave, and place it right back on the mantle where it belongs... Post these Slogans in here in bold We will work together to help edit, slightly change, and come up with a better slogan as a team.

Anyone is invited to help out with rephrasing or repairing slogans. I won't be able to do it all myself!

(psst. unrelated, but i e-mailed you at your gmail account, rolf :p)

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 8:57am

yeah I got it...meant to respond, but got sidetracked. Thanks!

I am redundant and I repeat stuff a lot

TimScribble on Dec 05 '08 at 9:10am

Reading this Shirt will make you Yawn.

When Life gets you Down, Remember, It once gave you Lemons

Skilly on Dec 05 '08 at 9:19am

"Jah Bless the Jobless."

I thought if you put on a faux-Jamaican accent, it works quite well; it appears not.

tracerbullet on Dec 05 '08 at 9:19am

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

i always thought it was pretty deep :-\

sonmi on Dec 05 '08 at 9:20am

that slogan will forever haunt me, brian

tracerbullet on Dec 05 '08 at 9:22am

haunt you like a rebel. a rebel who lacks a cause.

SoldierofGondor on Dec 05 '08 at 9:36am

Don't feed the animals. They'd rather eat you anyway

rossmat8 on Dec 05 '08 at 9:39am

tracer I like your slogan as a motto, but I don't think I would wear it. Most people don't want their shirts to be deep they just want something funny. Your slogan is really good but this isn't the right audience.

Simpletinrobot on Dec 05 '08 at 9:44am

Help! I was turned into this shirt by an evil wizard!

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 10:47am

@ RossmatI am redundant and I repeat stuff a lot

What if you said, "I'm redundant, and by that I mean, I'm redundant."

tracerbullet on Dec 05 '08 at 10:50am

fuck...i can't tell if rossmat is joking or just playing along

tracerbullet on Dec 05 '08 at 10:51am

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 10:51am
I dig Asian chicks! And Texas! Yeehaw!

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 10:54am

lies. all lies.

tracerbullet on Dec 05 '08 at 10:58am

ok, fine. you don't actually say "yeehaw." at least not that i've ever heard.

HorsefaceDee on Dec 05 '08 at 11:03am

Rich people always seem to have more money than me.

bortwein on Dec 05 '08 at 11:04am

It's the "Again" that makes it funny.

bsweber on Dec 05 '08 at 11:05am

There are two basic types of kissing:
the way you kiss your mom, and the way I kiss your mom.

HorsefaceDee on Dec 05 '08 at 11:06am

Nature confuses me when it makes things like hairless guinea pigs.

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 11:10am

@ TimScribble

Reading this Shirt will make you Yawn.
I have no suggestions for this one, maybe someone else can help ya out.

When Life gets you Down, Remember, It once gave you Lemons
When life gets you down, it will apologize with lemons.

Maybe I dunno

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 11:12am

@ Brian, James Dean....why?

@ SoldierofGondor
Don't feed the animals. They'd rather eat you anyway
Funny idea... maybe you say something like
"Don't feed the animals, they are aggressive carnivores ." or something like that?

Retroludo on Dec 05 '08 at 11:15am

Zen gardens are not the place to be bamboozled.

Thanks for volunteering to play my theme song. Start clapping.

P.S. I love how you took comments on the blog and turned it into a slogan workshop kind of thing. Brilliant Sir, just brilliant!

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 11:15am

@ Simpletinrobot
Help! I was turned into this shirt by an evil wizard!

Hahaha, nice one... I might just turn the phrase
"Help! An evil wizard turned me into this shirt."

Simpletinrobot on Dec 05 '08 at 11:16am

Sweet, mind if I use that?

Retroludo on Dec 05 '08 at 11:18am

Hmmm for the Don't feed the animals one how about:

Don't feed the animals, limbs do not grow back
or
Don't feed the animals, you only have 10 fingers

tracerbullet on Dec 05 '08 at 11:18am

I just submitted this masterpiece. We'll see how it goes.

Out of 10 people tested, neither understood binary numbers.

Simpletinrobot on Dec 05 '08 at 11:19am

or
Don't feed the animals. (you are on the menu)

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 11:19am

Here's a little advice for all sloganeers. It's not a guaranteed win, but...

Humor is just perceived as something that is a surprise. It's an outcome other than what the audience or reader expects... The longer you lead them to believe one thing before the payoff, the funnier it is.

Simpletinrobot on Dec 05 '08 at 11:20am

@TimScribble

"Reading this Shirt will make you Yawn."

How about:
"I bet this shirt will make you yawn"
or
"This shirt will make you yawn"

martiandrivein on Dec 05 '08 at 11:21am

ok I gotta go work, but ...keep it up!

davidfromdallas on Dec 05 '08 at 11:53am

finally. a martiandrivein workshop. classic.

so, there would probably be 2 that i wish had done better (any help for refinement is much appreciated):

If you're lonely, take martial arts for a good sidekick.
Public transportation sucks. I'd rather take the bus.

in terms of help/advice, let's see...

i agree with rolf about twists at the end. Horseface, you're "rich" slogan made me chuckle. what if you twisted it into something like "I've been working my whole life, and dark chocolate is still richer than than I am."

Tim, "reading this shirt..." How about: "Start Yawning Now" or "This shirt proves that yawns are contagious."

i am in love with that one, brian.

Snoopyheartshobbes on Dec 06 '08 at 12:38am

My slogan.
"Waving: The handshake of germaphobes."

My most successful yet as far as percentage.....but it's stuck at only 25 votes. How do some people get so many votes?

Retroludo on Dec 06 '08 at 7:56am

Tis a mystery to me how some people rack up those votes. Over time mine have gradually increased but not by a lot.

twoonebee on Dec 06 '08 at 8:01am

bsweber on Dec 05 '08 at 11:05am There are two basic types of kissing:
the way you kiss your mom, and the way I kiss your mom.

THAT IS FANTASTIC.

tracerbullet on Dec 05 '08 at 11:18am I just submitted this masterpiece. We'll see how it goes.

Out of 10 people tested, neither understood binary numbers.

Out of 10 people tested neither understood ternary numbers. the other mistook it for binary.

Neon Samurai on Dec 06 '08 at 8:43am

Brett, why is that slogan not submitted?

bsweber on Dec 06 '08 at 11:04am

hahah, doh, i just remembered i never actually subbed it

guess it wasn't appropriate for this blog then

i'll sub it now

bsweber on Dec 06 '08 at 11:06am

also, there are apparently too many letters to sub it?

bsweber on Dec 06 '08 at 11:06am

and by that, i mean it's too long

martiandrivein on Dec 06 '08 at 11:10am

What about...

The way you kiss your mom is not the way I kiss your mom.

opifan64 on Dec 06 '08 at 11:19am

For fast, effective relief of drowsiness just add zombies

I had a whale of a time until the giant squid showed up

Skip the clowns, send in the paramedics

The world is my oysters. Waiting for life to give me lemons

Any tips for improvement on these would be appreciated. I always seem to stall at 30% or less :/ maybe I just suck, lol

opifan64 on Dec 06 '08 at 11:20am

* The world is my oyster

martiandrivein on Dec 06 '08 at 11:23am

For fast, effective relief of drowsiness just add zombies

I might say "For fast, effective relief from stress, just shoot zombies." ? I dunno I kinda like all of yours... I'll dwell on them for a while.

opifan64 on Dec 06 '08 at 11:29am

haha... thanks, that's not bad. you have some really great ones. slogans are tough

martiandrivein on Dec 06 '08 at 11:30am

thanks... yeah, Slogans are a different game from designs.

TimScribble on Dec 06 '08 at 3:08pm

Thanks for the ideas guys. Im gonna retry the Yawn slogan.

Simpletinrobot on Dec 06 '08 at 9:11pm

@Retroludo
"Thanks for volunteering to play my theme song. Start clapping."

I actually think this would work better as a colab with some version of "Thanks for volunteering to play my theme song" over music notes that make up said theme song.

Retroludo on Dec 06 '08 at 10:44pm

Ooh nice might have to give that idea a try.

SoldierofGondor on Dec 07 '08 at 2:02pm

Non-REM isn't quite as exciting.
