This is pretty old news, but I just became aware of it a few days ago. So, you probably know the Slap Chop infomercial featuring Vince Offer, who was recently thrown in jail for beating a prostitute. Classy, right? So DJ Steve Porter took it upon himself to make a rap remix of his Slap Chop infomercial, and he’s done a very fine job. So fine, in fact, that the Slap Chop creators have purchased the remix and are running it as a standalone advertisement for the product.
In particular, I enjoy how the music works so well with Vince Offer’s exaggerated movements, as if he knew he was recording a music video. I also dig how the “slaps” are synched with the beat. The video is totally ridiculous, and the customer testimonial at the end is a really nice touch. “Stop having boring tuna.” That tuna looks pretty gross…
What do you think of DJ Steve Porter’s work? Do you think the endless stream of YouTube knock-offs are the wave of the future in marketing and advertising?
