[Insert Big Deal Ad Exec Here]‘s Advertising Nightmares!

Since I’ve been unemployed, I’ve become a devoted fan of Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmares. The British version is far better than the US, but meh – I like both. So, since Mad Men is such a hit and since Kitchen Nightmares does pretty well in the ratings – why not combine the two?

[Insert Big Deal Ad Exec Here]‘s Advertising Nightmares! It could be Alex Bogusky or Dan Wieden, but whoever it is would go into struggling ad firms and clean up shop. Imagine Jeff Goodby going into a hard press agency in Chicago, Milwaukee, Santa Monica or New York and screaming his head off a la Ramsey.

“What is this? Why are their eight layers of approval for a simple banner ad?”

“You know what the real problem is here? The problem is you have a shit planner.”

“If you’re the CEO then act like it. Sell this company to your clients. For heavens sake man!”

“You can’t sleep with a copywriter and expect your staff to respect you as ECD. You’re taking the piss and wasting my time!”

Get it? Oohhh… Now, what network has the balls for this? It could play right after Mad Men on AMC. What about Bravo? Hell, I’ll even take the piss poor CBS.
