Picks of the litter:
"Quit asking smart questions and just do what the client says."
"I am well aware that I continually screw you over."
“Will a Mexican agency know what an FTP is?”
“You can search by kind of food, you can search by neighborhood… Or f*** you and search for yourself.”
And an oldie but a goodie:
“Do I put the CD in that sort of cupholder thing?”
(...Does "cup-holder guy" actually still exist?)

My favorite from a client:
"Can you MP3 a WAV file to me?" |

| A friend who works at a well-known online retailer told me they recently received a call from someone who asked "Can you email me the RAM so I can save on shipping?". |

Awww, shucks. Thanks.
For a long time, I honestly thought cupholder guy was a myth, invented by IT geeks for self-amusement.
Then I began working as an IT support tech. Ack.

I'm certain that most of you have seen this at one time or another, but this is one of my all time favorites....worth a refresher now and then. If you haven't seen it, you need to watch to the end.
Tech Support
Enjoy!

I'm rather fond of this one... 
#064- “It lacks branding but we can solve that with a voice over saying the name of the brand.”
(Agency, Account Director, commenting on a jingle whose lyrics consist entirely of the name of the brand, sung 7 times, and the word “grapefruit” sung 4 times.) |

Tom,
This may be the first recorded case in 21st Century history when an advertising agency person actually thought they could increase the value of a spot by using a voiceover.

I used to have a client that said, "Seventy per cent of a TV spot is the audio track!" |
