1234: Sock it to me
Wayne Aspland | 13 August 2008We all have our skeletons. Those little secrets we keep in the darkest recesses of our minds.
Some of us love to binge out on chocolates, pizzas or (in my case) Savoury Shapes when no-one”’’s looking.
Many of us have even more ””exotic”” tastes. Probably time to press the ””too much information”” button about now.
Well, I””m going to stand up and proudly reveal one of my own deep dark mysteries to the world.
I love the 1234 sock puppet.
Seriously – and all the ””I work for Sensis”” bias aside – I think he”’’s (???) one of the most amusing advertising characters in years.
And here”’’s his latest ad, called ””Rash”” (eewwww!).
P.S. When”’’s the series coming? If they could make a successful sitcom out of a fluffy alien called Alf, the sock puppet should be a cinch.
Who would have through a simple sock would be so
Sock Fan | 26 August 2008Who would have through a simple sock would be so popular…
I’ve recently discovered that not only does a sock have a staring role on the 1234 commercial, he also has a fan base on Myspace and Facebook!
Whats next? World domination?
I’ve always wondered, now that he’s a star, how would he sign autographs??
Wayne, quite an admission. I can't believe people are actually
Karina | 29 August 2008Wayne, quite an admission. I can’t believe people are actually communicating with a sock on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/theanswersyouseek) but then again it’s mainly Gen Y… clearly spoilt for time! Picking on Gen Y aside, just goes to show how niche a community one can be a part of thanks to the evolution of social media… I’m sure my grandparents would roll in their graves!
