Barclays Bank advert… a true Classic
I’ve always loved this advert, partly because it was performed by Samuel L Jackson and partly because it’s very clever. It says a lot…
“Can I help you” he said
“Nice shoes” I said
“You bet” he said
“How much” I said
“You can’t put a price on the stars” he said
“Talk straight” I said
“Or the moon” he said
“These shoes” he said “are almost like something being said”
“Cat sure aint got your tongue, so say it” I said “as you see it” I said
“I could talk about these shoes forever” he said
“You have” I said, “so how much” I said
“Hundred bucks” he said
“I’ll take them” I said
“Too late” he said
“Shop’s closed” he saidI can’t repeat what I said…
So just remember, sometimes you’ve already sold something and don’t need to keep talking it up.

I remember that one but from a while back. I liked it then and I like it now. Is it on again?

No, someone mentioned ‘Bear Markets’ in something I was reading and it reminded me of one of the other ones in the same series, ‘Little Piggie went to market’. I always liked those adverts but the ‘Shoes’ one was my favourite.
