These days, it’s very rare that a TV commercial can make me sit up and take notice…but I’ve got to hand it to those smart boys and girls at 1-800-GOT-JUNK, for creating the most brilliant-yet-cheap marketing campaign in years.
It’s very simple. The company will clear away all sorts of junk and trash…but to ensure that you will call them…the will send you…

RATS!
Dressed up in GOT-JUNK uniforms, a crafty army of white rodents will invade your house, and search out all your useless junk…then SIT ON TOP OF YOU until you call 1-800-GOT-JUNK!
The commercial is sublimely funny…a man runs screaming from his house, covered in uniformed rats…a poor woman calls GOT-JUNK, with a uniformed rat calmly sitting on top of her head, waiting…
And the final catch-phrase from the pleasant, smiling, uniformed man?
“Call us…before we send you rats.”
I laughed until I nearly wet myself. ![]()
Bravo! If you’re interested, watch it HERE.
And if that one didn’t make you laugh, try THIS one!
