One doesn't have to rack one's brains too hard for the advertising campaign for Liquid Karl.

Liquid Karl.
Coming Soon.

Simple, bold, and a bit creepy. Like its namesake.

Also, what is it with advertising televisions on television.
Am I the only person who finds this just a teeny weeny bit weird. Of course I'm not, it's just not something that makes any sense.

I mean, I wouldn't say I'm the sharpest tool in the planet. That was a deliberate mistake. I wouldn't say that I'm incredibly clever but I think there's something just a teeny weeny bit strange when you see an advert for a new television, on your exisiting TV.

I mean, I just don't get it.

(S-L-O-W delivery)

You're already watching television.
How can they possibly show you on the television you're already watching a better television. It just doesn't make any sense.

While you watch some slow motion action of someone serving a tennis ball on a court at night
time with neon lines and a voiceover kindly informs you,

Deep voice-overy voice

"when you're watching television in uber definition it's important you don't miss any details. You want every single detail to be pin sharp so you don't miss a single moment of action".

But I am watching television right now.

My wife already thinks I'm pretty stupid, and to be honest with you, I always want a new TV regardless of whether I'm in any way unhappy with m,y present set - that's just part of what it is to be a man - if you don't want a new TV most of the time you're probably not really a man.

Other men can tell. And so can women.

So, my wife thinks I'm pretty stupid already but if I call her into the lounge right now

"darling, darling, come quick, there's an advert for that new TV I was telling you about on TV, then she's going to know for sure. She's going to know I'm stupid. And the longer I can keep her guessing, the better.
