Just Call Richard: A Man Outstanding In His Field.

What a Dick.

Del Mar: Maintain our Turf, Protect our Surf

A good rhyme and a good pun?!? As Borat would say, "Wowaweewow, it's very nice." Good URL too. This slogan is Del-icious & Mar-velous!

U.S. Foodservice: Going Beyond The Plate Means Going Beyond

I love how this slogan reinforces the notion of going beyond with a (quite literally) circular reference. And incorporating the round plate is the cherry on top! Too bad sundaes don't come on plates or else my commentary would've been just as on point (or on plate!) as this slogan.

Nantucket: Some People Only Live This Way Two Weeks a Year!

Fellow slogan snob Brooke Watson sent this one in. Gotta hand it to these guys for making Southwest Ohio seem like South Beach. Too bad they couldn't get Lebron James to see it that way!

And speaking of snobs, gotta love the way they

Baconnaise: Isn't It Time Your Tongue Took a Sh*t In Your Mouth?

Of course, this isn't a real slogan. It's a spoof from The Daily Show. For whatever reason, John Stewart has taken a liking to Baconnaise. Well, he's taken a liking to referencing it. He certainly has taken a disliking to tasting it. Especially when applied to sausage on a stick wrapped in blueberry pancakes. The whole tongue-taking-a-shit quip was spontaneous but has been immortalized in subsequent shows and, this week, was turned into a slogan and presented as a Times Square billboard. Too good to pass up. Just try and wipe the shit-eating grin off your face after watching the clip.

Oyster Hotel Reviews: Been There. Slept There.

As I covered on Good URL Bad URL, Oyster Hotel Reviews was launched yesterday by one of my close friends along with his brother, another friend of theirs (who ironically shares the first name of their 3rd brother) and some 20-odd employees. I brainstormed potential slogans with them and, although I did not come up with this one, I must say I like it. Their whole value prop. is that the site is independent and the reviewers go "undercover" (literally) at the hotels. Unlike some review sites that just swoop in, snap a couple photos and a rating or others that rely solely on user-generated content, Oyster Hotel Reviews actually sends professional writers to scour the grounds and sleep in the rooms.

With that in mind, this slogan really helps differentiate. While I was gung ho on finding a slogan that played off the Oyster name ("We've searched the ocean blue to bring the best hotels to you!" or "The World is Yours."), I do like the play on the "Been There. Done That." phrase -- shows they've done more than "it." It took the Oyster gang a good 6 months to come up with this one -- just goes to show, sometimes a slogan is worth losing sleep over.

Diapers.com: We Deliver Everything But the Baby

Not this time!

Miami PD Bomb Squad: If You See Us Running, Catch Up!

@LenKendall turned me on to this one via Twitter. A true sign of a good slogan is that it makes your heart race. Check.

Monster: Your Calling is Calling

I love when a slogan plays off a word's double-meaning. Kudos to Monster for not just phoning this one in.

Comcast: Fast. It's Not for Everyone.

I heart the Slowskys. The whole campaign really resonates. Goes to show a good slogan doesn't always have to say what the product does or what the brand's all about -- it can make its point simply by saying what the brand/product is NOT. Although, this technique won't work for everyone...

Nike: Are You A Quitter?
McDonald's: I'm Not Hating It
ATT: Less Bars is More

Chase: Chase What Matters

I had never thought of the Chase brand as a verb so, at first, this slogan threw me for a loop. But after thinking about it, I thought it was pretty clever. In general, a brand should make you want to do something. Nothing says "do" more than a verb. It is a bit ironic, though, that a bank is telling you to chase what matters -- as if that were something other than money. Maybe what they're getting as is the thrill of the chase.

Heineken: Give Yourself a Good Name

Now here's a practical, tangible benefit to drinking a beverage. Drink other beers and people will think you have no class. Drink Heineken and people will be impressed. Seeing as how beer is usually consumed in a social setting, preying on people's desire to improve their social standing is a great angle to play here. This slogan does not fall flat on it's Heinie.

Hulu: An Evil Plot to Destroy the World. Enjoy.

I loved everything about this spot. Alec Baldwin in character as Jack Donaghy. The idea that a bunch of aliens are trying to turn our brains to mush. And the slogan's ironic punchline. The thing about it, of course, is that we would probably bow to the aliens before giving up our video programming. Hulu could do no evil with this ad.

USA Network: Characters Welcome

Now here's a good tie-in between product and slogan. Similar to Monster, they picked a word that works on 2 levels -- characters is both a noun and adjective here. And, their shows are filled with them. This slogan is a real character-builder.

Bike Friday: Performance That Packs

Been meaning to post this one for a while. Lynette Chiang from Bike Friday sent it in for my stamp of approval. Methinks this slogan is right in their wheelhouse. Hopefully it propels them to the lead of the pack. Or shall I say... to the top of the pack-ing order?

Canadian Club: Damn Right Your Dad Drank It

I love this campaign. The "Damn Right" tag adorns ads showing old school pics of dudes hustling pool and doing the Russian kick dance at parties. It's the antithesis of the "This ain't your father's Oldsmobile" slogan. Being a new dad myself, I'm glad to see pop culture come around and make it cool to aspire to be like your pops again! For what it's worth though, when Eliara grows up, she'll know her Daddy prefers Crown Royal.

Quaker Oatmeal: Every Day Should be this Good

I like how this slogan draws the association between a good day and a good bowl of oatmeal. The fact that it also subtly reminds you that the intended frequency of product usage is daily is the icing, er... brown sugar on top.

Lie to Me: Words Lie. Your Face Doesn't

This one threw me at first. My wife and I looked at each other sure that this had some sort of dirty double meaning. That, of course, is step one of good sloganry -- make 'em stop and think. Step two is to pay off the product attributes -- ok, I get it, this guy reads peoples faces to see if they're lying -- and bonus points for good wordplay. Step three is to make sure people remember your brand -- check. Truthfully, this is one of the best TV show slogans I've seen in a long time. Which reminds me, why don't more TV shows have slogans?

Life Alert: "Help, I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!"

This is one that's been ingrained in my mind since I was a little kid -- but only because it was always the butt of our jokes. I didn't realize that Life Alert actually had this phrase trademarked. Bottom line, it's effective -- straight-forward and memorable. And most importantly, it builds the pain (literally).

The Alley: Get Pierced Not Screwed

Love the play on words here. The key is knowing your audience and something tells me the tattoo/body piercing crowd won't be offended by this screwball.
