Bergy_Berg Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 If this was Tony the Tiger there's an argument to be made for the cereal mascot, but Sonny has nothing here. Not a sexy bird. Flo makes insurance interesting, I'm sure she can handle underwear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a sexy bird. Sonny is coo-coo for disposable underwear because he is super excitable and tends to crap himself often. He brings something to the table. For the Depends market.

Bergy_Berg Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 An insane bird bouncing around shitting itself is literally the worst possible spokesperson for underwear. If you want disposable briefs in case of an accident, then you also want discretion. The commercial for this isn't a bird flinging feces everywhere, it's people leading their normal lives and not worrying about their underwear.

Macklemore Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Flo might not be the best looker around (sorry to whoever is the actress for Flo,) but even she has a better chance at this than Sonny does by virtue of being a human female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a reasonably attractive person, just above average. Which is actually perfect for this kind of advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnamax Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Not pooping himself, but Sonny at least can be a funny, memorable cartoon. He could have an ad based around him trying to destroy the underwear but can’t, showing it’s durability. I feel like you could do something with Sonny, whereas Flo is just going to a person in underwear. Both are a struggle in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but an advertisement would want to exaggerate how durable the disposable underwear could be. Again, I just feel a cartoon gives you some more advertising options than Flo, who’s schtick is “slightly deadpan insurance.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergy_Berg Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 "Go with the Flo" is the perfect marketing slogan for this product. People will also trust Flo, who sells a reliable product already, more than the bird who sells sugar for breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
