WE'RE JUST ASKING
If you're a company with three owners, and their last names are Doody, Wong and Wiener, how do you get this name? Doesn't that leave you short a Wiener? Or are we missing something?

Do they not understand that people will giggle at Wongdoody?

Not that Wongdoody Weiner would be better...

Because the CEO uses the Neti-Pot in the wrong physiological location.

Is this a joke? One of those urban myth things?

Oh, and yes Dave, "Boogers ARE you beat" apparently.

Hey! They stole those from lyrics to my song:
"There she was just a walking down the street, singing "Do wong doody doody dong doody do."
Posted by: Manfred Man | January 31, 2005 at 03:14 PM
Woo Hoo!! Double post-- one with the correct spelling for Dave's book title and one without. One for each nostril.
Doing toe touches now.... *cough*

No, no, not Manfred Mann, it's Niel Sedaka:

Do two wong doodys make a white weiner?
Posted by: Leetie | January 31, 2005 at 03:45 PM
If Tracy used Mandarin, she could be a wang without a weiner.
Posted by: Poop Dogg | January 31, 2005 at 03:46 PM
WongDoody is just another one of those funny words like FlapDoodle.
Posted by: Leetie | January 31, 2005 at 03:46 PM
This is Wong on so many levels, I Doody not know Wiener to begin.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | January 31, 2005 at 03:49 PM
I wonder if the company car is called the WongDoody Weiner Mobile.
Posted by: Leetie | January 31, 2005 at 03:56 PM
I guess WongDoody makes sense. DoodyWeiner is just Wong.
Posted by: Leetie | January 31, 2005 at 03:58 PM
Maybe Weiner just decided to pull out of Wong Doody.

Doody's first name is "Pat"
BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Posted by: Leetie | January 31, 2005 at 04:15 PM
Leetie, slowly step away from the keyboard with your arms elevated, and nobody will get hurt, or continue laughing their rear ends off.
You may return to your keyboard when your (obviously) brand new batteries have worn down just a little. Thank you.
Why aren't you watching 24 like Dave and every other bloglit except me? Huh? Why?
Posted by: D'Artagnan | January 31, 2005 at 04:17 PM
I guess 'cause it's not on yet, that's why.
Posted by: D'Artagnan | January 31, 2005 at 04:20 PM
*can't stop giggling ...*
Tnx Leetie ... you recharged my batteries ...
Posted by: u.o. | January 31, 2005 at 04:21 PM
Well, Wongdoody anagrams to Dong Woody. So there's your Wiener.
Posted by: Corn | January 31, 2005 at 04:38 PM
Maybe Korean Unification Minister Chung Dong-young could get a job at Wong Doody...

I see that we were on the same wavelength! I got sidetracked (glad I did) watching the clips before posting.

Quoted on their About Us Page:
"WONGDOODY doesn't create advertising. They create fear, anxiety and, above all, courage. The courage to push beyond our comfort zone to that magical place where our creative should be."
Posted by: me | January 31, 2005 at 05:16 PM
OH MY GAWD, I just read this to my husband and he said, "oh yes, I've done some work for them" (he's a photographer) " you know they did that sonics thing when they were all superheros" how weird is that. oh, by the way?
Where's the Weiner
Posted by: Carla | January 31, 2005 at 05:22 PM
"Okay, I think you're really going to like what we've come up with for your new campaign."
"Excuse me."
"Yes?"
"It's just that, were a Fortune 100 Company, Mr. Doody. I guess we were expecting all your partners at this presentation."
"Oh, you wanted to meet Wong?"
*zip. fwap*
"Wow! And Wiener?"
"It's right there."
"Jeez. Even his dick has a dick. We have to hire him."
Posted by: Christobol | January 31, 2005 at 05:57 PM
I had to hit three different links before I could figure out what WongDoody does. I don't know if that's bad advertising or good advertising.
Posted by: Baghdad | January 31, 2005 at 06:01 PM
To enter the PR Arena
Was the dream of Wong,Doody and Wiener
When their time finally came
They dropped the last name
(It made the whole business obscener.)

in case you really reaally really really want things to rhyme, read the above in a Boston accent.
Posted by: insomniac | January 31, 2005 at 06:39 PM
'niac - COOL - I enjoy that sort of Limerick muchly, the odder, more obscure or longer the key word, the funnier, I think ...
there's an old one, the only thing I remember is one of the key rhyme words is "interstices" ... know it?
Posted by: u.o. | January 31, 2005 at 06:41 PM
They say "Wongdoody gets it." But I'll bet Weiner gets more than Wong or Doody.
Posted by: bbescuela | January 31, 2005 at 06:58 PM
insomniac, you mean 'Arenar', not 'obscenah', right?
Posted by: D'Artagnan | January 31, 2005 at 07:00 PM
I didn't but I found it:
'There was a young woman from Yap
With pimples all over the map
But in her interstices
There lurked a far worse disease
Commonly know as the clap.'
Posted by: insomniac | January 31, 2005 at 07:17 PM
known %$$@!
Posted by: insomniac | January 31, 2005 at 07:18 PM
insomniac,
Have you read the new Chinese murder mystery?
The name of the book is, "The Ruptured Chinese,
and it was written by Won Hong Lo.
Posted by: tak | January 31, 2005 at 07:59 PM
ROTFLOL.............. if Weiner(hahahahaha) was in there in would be WongWeinerDoody. Can't stop laughing!!!!!!!!!snort. Or WongDoodIner. Okay I admit that on was pretty pathetic, not enough caffiene in my system.
Posted by: opiesgirl | January 31, 2005 at 08:05 PM
TNX 'niac - I've got several thousand in books @ home, but you were much faster at finding it than me driving there ...

"WONGDOODY understands production. WONGDOODY understands television. WONGDOODY understands marketing. WONGDOODY gets it!"
I think that explains everything.
Posted by: Doug | February 01, 2005 at 12:04 AM
C'mon, it's obvious that being a PR firm they thought they could leverage that old cliche "with a name like Wongdoody..." Their real names are Abrahms, Rosenthal and Lipschitz.
Posted by: mudstuffin | February 01, 2005 at 04:20 AM
OK, somebody has to say it, may as well be me.
How do you greet one of the Principals of WongDoody...
"Howdy, Doody"
Sorry
Posted by: Mr. Bluster | February 01, 2005 at 04:37 AM
Are they for real????....
Posted by: julietine | February 01, 2005 at 04:40 AM
That looks like a fun company to work for...I wonder if they are hiring...
Posted by: julietine | February 01, 2005 at 04:45 AM
Yes, julietine, they are hiring. But only if you have the Wong last name.
Posted by: igloo | February 01, 2005 at 05:05 AM
oh, just bwaaahaaaaa.
Posted by: queensbee | February 01, 2005 at 05:25 AM
Mr. Bluster:
Likewise, you may find yourself saying "That's right, Ms. Wong", or if feeling litigious, you may grill a Weiner.
Yeah, you're right, "Howdy, Doody" is funnier.
Posted by: Rachel | February 01, 2005 at 06:05 AM
"I paid you $2 million dollars for an advertising campaign and I want to know who or what I am going to get out of it!!!"
"See Doody"
"$2 million dollars and I'm getting fish turds?"
"Not Sea Doodie... See Doody"
"Nevermind... am I going to see one of the principles of this company today or what?"
"Wong"
"No, not wrong... I want to see a principle and I want to see them right now!!! Now are you going to send me to one of these guys or are you just going to stand there and call me names? Who can I see?"
"Weiner"
"Oh, ok.. play it that way. You're just going to call me names. Well... well..."
"Mr. Weiner... I'm talking about Mr. Weiner"
"You want to see Mr. Weiner?"
"No, you do"
"You're a transexual?"
"I'm going to have to ask you to leave"
Posted by: Writer's Cramp | February 01, 2005 at 08:09 AM
I wonder if they've ever done work for William Hung. Or considered hiring his, I don't know, uncle. Or something.
Posted by: Canton | February 01, 2005 at 08:32 AM
Actually, they are a real design firm in Seattle; my graphic design instructors have mentioned them. Doody on, hold the Weiner...apparently.
Posted by: Lydia McIntosh | February 01, 2005 at 01:33 PM
if this is the wongdoody, i would hate to see the wightdoody.
Posted by: sj | February 01, 2005 at 03:40 PM
Much of this reminds me of a limerick ...
The poets have mournfully sung,
Death takes the innocent young,
The screamingly funny,
The rolling in money,
And those who are very well hung.
No. I wish.
Wystan Hugh Auden, you could look it up.
Posted by: u.o. | February 01, 2005 at 05:04 PM
At least they have a sense of humor about the whole thing:
Tracy (Wong) is male, not female. Tracy is also better looking and smarter than Pat Doody or Ben Wiener.
Posted by: lm | February 02, 2005 at 07:32 AM
So they are who to blame for those Dariy Queen ads!
Posted by: Mike B. | February 02, 2005 at 07:31 PM
Wongdoody is not a PR firm or a design firm, it is an advertising agency. No, they're not responsible for the DQ ads. Tracy is a man.
And I'm pretty sure they expect you to giggle when you hear the name.
Posted by: adgrl | February 08, 2005 at 11:27 AM
By going with the name wongdoody, one has to wonder if they really do "get it"
Posted by: giblet | February 08, 2005 at 11:32 AM
I think WongDoody should hire Dave Barry. And hey, while I'm at it, WHERE is Dave Barry? Enough with the sabbatical, Dave. Come back from your hideout in St. Lucia.
