ABC “Very Funny” ad campaign 2008-? Dec 26, 2020 16:53:03 GMT via mobile

There is literally no evidence (as far as I know) of this ad/promo campaign for ABC, utilizing the tagline “Very Funny”.

I want to say that (from what I remember), it used the same graphics style as the “Start Here” ad campaign introduced in 2007/2008. It ended before the 2013-current logo was created.

Please help me find any information about this; so I don’t look like I’m crazy 😄

I know they use/used the slogan “Very Funny” around that time.

Was it only used in one ad, or did you see multiple different ones?

I can’t remember exactly but I remember that it used the ABC announcer from the “Start Here” era of their graphics.

ABC would’ve been broadcasting it around that time.

Essentially picture the finished logo from this video, except the words “Very Funny” replace the words “Start Here” and the announcer was the other guy that did the on-air voiceovers at the time.

I’m sure that this did exist as a tagline for ABC at one point; it’s just that no one has footage of it or remembers it.

Either this is a Mandela Effect or confusion with the TBS tagline.

Been following this thread for a while, and ye I think it sounds like Mandela Effect/conbination of both Mandela and confusion with TBS
