Machetes are funny

I loved, loved, loved the Emerald Nuts ad. If you missed it, they turned their name into a mnemonic device, and then dramatized the results:

Eagle-Eyed Machete Enthusiasts Recognize A Little Druid Networking Under The Stairs.

Nice! For my money, the concepts of “druids‿ and “networking‿ are equally funny. Put them together, and you’ve got a laugh riot.

Emerald Nuts has at least two other ads planned along these lines. Can you spot the phrases they came up with, and the ones I made up?

Engrossed Manicurists Eventually Relay Advice Like Do Not Untie That String
Eccentric Matadors Exercising Religiously And Littering Do Not Use the Steamroller
Eleven Midgets Earn Really Anxious Looks During Naughtiness Under the Sheets
Eerie Mannequins Eat Raw Asparagus, Leisurely Dunking Nachos Up Their Sleeves


The last two were mine.
