Advantages: Very catchy

Disadvantages: The catchphrase may get annying very quickly

I first read about the 'Whassup' phenomenon several months ago but it is only in the last month or so that the adverts have started appearing on UK TV. The premise is simple five guys watching football on TV who call each other up and shout 'Whassup' down the phone. The adverts are very entertaining and obviously work well as already everyone is saying the catchphrase. In the last week I have heard so many radio DJ's and TV presenters saying it that it is unbelievable and of course in the film, 'Scary Movie' the ghost joins in by shouting 'Whassup' down the phone too.

It looks like the craze that took the US by storm several months ago is going to be just as big in the UK. So far we have just seen the one ad (well I have anyway) but if you head over to the bud website you can see the videos of the next three and an interview with the 'Whassup' guys and Cindy Margolis.
