In the video the [comedian actress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doja-cat-2) says she was asked to promote her new show on Lifetime and wanted to use a recent pop culture event "that really got the kids talking." For the show 'Betty White's Off Their Rockers' the star is killing two birds with one big, stone-like ball. Her genius strategy to make a joke out of an extremely popular subject in the process of promoting her show, definitely shows that this is one intelligent woman. The pretty and playful senior is getting all the buzz from her [hilarious stunt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad) and she does it all without being offensive. Perhaps Miley Cyrus herself would even approve. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Humor](https://www.trendhunter.com/humor) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Viral Ad Spoofs:** Opportunity for businesses to create viral ad campaigns by spoofing popular events or pop culture phenomena. - **Promotional Innovation:** Opportunity for businesses to creatively promote their products or services by leveraging current events or cultural trends. - **Humorous Marketing:** Opportunity for businesses to use humor in their marketing strategies to engage with customers and gain attention. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertising agencies to develop unique and attention-grabbing ad campaigns by incorporating viral spoofs. - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for entertainment industry to utilize promotional innovation and humor to generate buzz for shows or movies. - **Social Media Marketing:** Opportunity for businesses to leverage viral ad spoofs in their social media marketing campaigns to increase brand awareness and engagement. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Granny Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-grandmas-energy-drink.md) - [Sketch Comedy Retail Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-lady.md) - [Blockbuster Shopping Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-friday-ad.md) - [Nostalgic Mayonnaise Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meg-ryan-and-billy-crystal.md) - [Cheeky Celeb-Inspired Fictional Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meal-diamond.md) - [Humorous Soda Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jelly-roll-x-zevia.md) - [Comedic Christmas Parodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinfell-ad.md) - [Humorous Snack Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ritz-salty-club.md) - [Cuffing Season Yogurt Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harmless-harvest.md)
