Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing Sucks like an Electrolux."
For a scholarly piece on the No Va urban legend.
My all-time favorite is for Schaefer Beer, a once-popular U.S. swill beer. The tagline in the jingle went:
"Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one!"
What could be more hilarious than that?!!? "Our beer really sucks, but it's cheap, so it's a fine choice when you really want to get plastered and quantity is better than quality"
Many years later (this slogan was around for years), after public consciousness about "responsible drinking" became raised, they changed the slogan to "Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're out to have some fun" Very very lame.

I'm disrespectful to dirt. Can you see that I am serious?
Out of my way, all of you. This is no place for loafers!
Join me or die! Can you do any less?

Awesome power!
