My Talking Stain
Posted on August 31st, 2008 by Jamey
This spot from Tide first aired during the Super Bowl in 2008. I came across it again the other day and couldn’t help but laugh. Laundry detergent and stain removers are a low interest category but Tide uses a humor in a situation many folks can relate to. First impressions are very important and who wants a stain on their shirt in an interview. The video directs you to a site where you can share your embarrassing stain story.
Personally, I’d wear a black suit. Hides any stains much better. I’m off to buy a stain pen.

What a brilliant commercial! It’s not only funny, but it makes it’s point very well. Thanks for sharing this. It’s definitely a great SPOT!
I always get distracted whenever I come to sites that have this video embedded. I can’t stop watching it! It never gets old!
But, on the outside chance you’re craving a new talking stain…there’s good news!
I work for Tide and we ran a contest earlier in the year where people submitted their own spoofs of this ad. The finalists can be seen at http://www.tidetogo.com/ads and the winner will be shown during the season premiere of The Office on Thursday 9/25! Definitely check them out — so funny!
Hope it’s cool that I commented on your blog — I had to share the funny! Hahahaha. If you have any questions or want to discuss the finalists and which one YOU think should win, hit me up by email.
Thanks!
