GIGGLE GIGGLE
This is funny.

I guess the butt butter has other uses than for just diaper rash. LOL

You've written a fun and witty jingle, Mike. Nice job.
Thanks for the chuckles.

    I aim to cause chuckles, and yes, it sounds far ruder than the contest stipulates :-). I'm sure that was intentional on the organiser's part (unless they're very innocent indeed!), so I tried to imply a little extra rudeness with my effort ;-)

    Thank you for the review; glad you enjoyed!

Yours really read like a commercial. I could hear everything and the Jingle Bell tune in the background as well. I love the very fast talking voice with the warnings, hilarious!! Super job. :D

LOL. Ok now I'm scared to read what you will write next! You are either a genius or insane. My suspicions are that both are correct. (I can forgive both since you like cats.)This is excellent, hilarious, and I especially love the fast talking warnings at the end. How do you come up with this stuff?!

    The cats keep me insane; they know when I'm veering towards normal, and keep me on the wide and wobbly with their claws and looks that say "silly human".

    This contest was great fun to write for, and I always laugh at the end of radio adverts when they have the ridiculously fast-talking person telling you that everything you've just heard is basically bullshit. I couldn;t resist!

    LOL Well said. Definitely bull shit and they even say so!

Well, other than offering the vocal/audio component where a children's chorus actually performs, you have provided the entire commercial here- you may well have a new career. LOL
This is so funny. A delightful entry into this cute contest.

Why Am I not surprised that you would join a contest like this one MIKE...Dr Smoothie's Butt Butter!
There was no way you were going to pass up the chance of having a go of this one was there mate, ha ha. Brilliant, better not let my girls hear me singing it they might get into trouble at school if they repeat it, ha ha. Well done you nutcase, loved it.

    It took all my willpower not to make this the most filthy advert jingle ever written :-). It certainly sounds like something far more internet-worthy than a nappy rash ointment! Great fun to write. Glad I gave you a laugh mate; I needed to write something funny, as it's been a little while :-)

    lol, thank you Barbara :-). I admit, I was giggling when I wrote it. I know I shouldn't laugh at my own jokes, but when I typed 'arse marg' in the notes I nearly wet myself. Ah, how the bottom does amuse us Brits ...

    Thank you for the great rating, Barbara :-). I was really hankering to write a funny piece, as I'd been quite serious recently, so this was great.

    mike,
    LOL i always laugh at my own stuff. then i always hope that others will as well. i grew up listening to butt humor. fart jokes, etc. potty humor.
    :P
    yeah, sometimes you have to take a break from serious stuff or you start to take life that way. gets to me every time.
    gotta lighten up once in a while. glad you wrote this one.
    love,

I am still laughing! I so needed a laugh today. I'm glad you decided to give this contest a try. I don't even know how to pick out a favorite line...Well doneand thanks for the laugh. Annelisa

    Hi Annelisa :-). I had a whale of a time writing this one, so I'm glad to hear it's making people laugh; I find comedy is one of those things that's so subjective, it can be hard to know if you're being funny or not!

I guess I am just a guttless wonder...when I saw this contest I immediately told myself you couldn't pay me enough to try this one. But I must admit I have read some very clever entries. I like yours very much. Clever and the added bonus of the second definition of butty only adds to the humor. Nice job and good luck with the contest.

    I spent a while trying to come up with alternative interpretations of butt butter, and only got as far as the ram that butts intruders to his field on the behind as they run, and a butt butty, but they were enough to carry the jingle (just, I think!). This was great fun, and yes, there are some great entries (I'm just reading the others now; I try to avoid reading the other entries in a contest I've entered before I write mine, in case I get influenced or put off :-)
