Deutsch LA launched a new ad for Taco Bell promoting the chain’s Grilled Stuft Nacho, entitled “Sharing Sucks.”
The 30-second broadcast spot features a young guy witnessing a group sharing a plate of nachos and lamenting, “Since you’re a kid, it’s been share this, share that.” He complains about sharing the road, the bathroom, feelings and online oversharing before introducing the Grilled Stuft Nacho, “the first nachos designed not to be shared.” Deutsch’s ode to selfishness ends with the instruction: “Don’t share this ad,” which obviously functions as a tongue-in-cheek reminder for viewers to share the ad. The spot made its debut last Sunday, and is broadcasting in both 30 and 15-second versions. The attack on sharing in “Sharing Sucks” sees Taco Bell taking a much needed breather from McDonald’s bashing to take on the cultural phenomenon of over-sharing instead, although we’re sure Deutsch LA and the brand will be back to taking down the clown in no time.
