Overheard in the Agency

Post by Paramvir »

Have you heard one of these? In the agency? And anything else too?

'Hi, I'm Probably Having Sex -- Leave Me a Message.'
Girl #1: She isn't picking up her phone.
Girl #2: Oh, she's probably having sex.
Girl #1: Oh, yeah, you're probably right.

not on topic maybe, but still funny:


Q. How many copywriters does it take to change a light bulb? A. "NOBODY changes ANYTHING!!"
Q. How many art directors does it take to change a light bulb? A. "Does it have to be a light bulb?"
Q. How many creative directors does it take to change a light bulb? A. Let me go to LA and find out.

New and improved? If something is new, it couldn't have been improved. If something is improved, it can't be new. ???

Three people from an ad agency a copy writer, an art director and an account director, are walking through a park on their way to lunch when they discover an ancient old antique oil lamp. They rub it and a genie comes out in a huge puff of grey-blue smoke.
The genie says, "I usually grant only three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one."
"Me first! Me first!" says the copywriter.
"I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world!" Poof! He's gone.
In absolute astonishment the art director shouts, "Me next! Me next! I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my handsome hunk, an endless supply of pina coladas and the music of my life."
Poof! She's gone.
"You're next," says the genie to the Account Director.
The Account Director calmly says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."

A COPYWRITER DIES, and Saint Peter offers him a choice of Heaven or Hell. The writer asks to see both. Leading him to a doorway, Saint Peter says: "Here in Hell, we have a room just for copywriters." Inside, the writer sees row upon row of faceless hacks, all scribbling frantically as giant red devils lay into them with heavy whips.

"The meeting's in five minutes! The meeting's in five minutes" the devils scream.

"Uh ... better show me Heaven," the writer says. So up they go.

"Here in Heaven, we also have a room for copywriters," Saint Peter says. Peering into the second room, the writer again sees row upon row of faceless hacks, all scribbling frantically as giant red devils lay into them with heavy whips.

"The meeting's in five minutes! The meeting's in five minutes" the devils scream.

The copywriter protests, "But I thought you said this was Heaven!"

St. Peter says, "Well, up Here, the work gets produced."
