I just recently came across the commercial for Castrol GTX, “Think with your Dipstick”. Always a fan of a commercial that makes me giggle, this one actually had me laughing out loud. I hear that it’s been out since Superbowl and don’t know how I managed to miss it after all this time. The word “dipstick” alone brings a smile to my face; adding a Scottish man hitting people with one is comedic genius in my book. And who is Jimmy?!? ALL of his victims are Jimmy?!? Love it.
To those out there who can’t take a joke (and I know there are a few by doing some googling), I encourage you to think with your dipstick; as you never know when a Scottish man will pop out of the bushes and try to beat your sense of humor into submission.
Thank you, Ogilvy & Mather, for coming out with an ad that makes those all too long commercial breaks seem shorter…for those of us without a TiVo. Hooray for dip – er – slapstick humor!
If you haven’t had the pleasure of seeing the commercial or would like to see it again, check out the link below:
