โ€œPleeeeease!โ€

Lexicon. Comes from Robert Kleinโ€™s comedy album, Child of the Fifties.

I was watching TV this morning, when I saw an ad for a Budweiser product. It had the slug line, โ€œ100% Hard Seltzer. 0% Beer.โ€ So at least they know their beer has a perception problem, and a product having nothing to do with their beer is an attractive feature.

But once you hear Klein, youโ€™ll understand why the desperation of the ad (and a great deal of ads by many other people as well) reminded me of the bit.
