Award-Winning Monkey Shoulder Whiskey Partners With Actor, Comedian & Host Joel McHale!
You Have a Chance for Joel McHale to Show Up To Your Next First Date!!
It’s T-minus one month until cuffing season, so first dates are back on the priority list. Unfortunately, most daters prioritize being “impressive” over genuine and end up coming off a little contrived and pompous as a result. Monkey Shoulder might be an award-winning Scotch whisky, but they don’t “do” pompous.
Monkey Shoulder reinvigorated Scotch whisky by defying the notion that Scotch can only be enjoyed by rich, old men wearing ascots at a members-only club while smoking their pipes and petting a sheepdog. In the same way, the brand is helping to make Scotch whisky less stuffy, Monkey Shoulder is lending a hand to singles alongside a man whose disarming brand of humor can convince even the most elitist among us to let loose and laugh at themselves.
Monkey Shoulder has teamed up with actor, comedian, and host Joel McHale to Stick it to Stuck Up first dates, giving drinkers the chance to make a lasting impression with their potential S.O. by dropping the pretense and not taking things SO seriously… and by having Joel, himself, shake up their next first date night.
Stevie’s Note:
ARE YOU READY For this kind of event? Joel McHale is incredibly funny. His droll humor is sly and often has different interpretations. If you are looking at a “FIRST DATE”, Joel McHale would be the IDEAL person for you to have along.
This night could end up being one of the most memorable nights of your life! TAKE A CHANCE!!
Joel took his monkey business to the streets of New York, storming some of the city’s more cliched, try-hard date spots to convince a swooning couple to take a walk on the wild side with Monkey Shoulder.
“There’s nothing worse on a first date than someone trying too hard – thinking they’ll impress someone they met on a dating app by dragging them to a four-hour German opera,” said McHale.
“A first date should be about forging a real, honest connection – kind of like the connection I have with my new friends at Monkey Shoulder. They give me free whisky and in return, I give them pull quotes for press releases. But together, we also want to bring this idea of honesty and spontaneity to first dates. And I’m willing to lead by example – by inviting myself along on your next date night to make it as fun and unpredictable as possible. I have some ideas I’ve been told are ‘bold,’ ‘wild,’ and ‘potentially unlawful’. It’s gonna be great!”
For singles in need of a first date overhaul, Monkey Shoulder and Joel McHale are serving up a first date that takes pretense out at the knees: a roast… and a roast. YOU (and your date) get a chance to have Joel and Monkey Shoulder crash your first date via a home-cooked meal with a twist. If this sounds appealing and you are willing to take a “walk on the wild side” head to monkeyshoulder.com/joelmchale and tell us about the most stuck update you’ve ever been subjected to.
“In the very traditional and sometimes stuffy world of Scotch whisky, Monkey Shoulder encourages you to loosen things up a bit – break precedent; throw ice in it, mix it, make a piña colada – basically stop being so precious and just enjoy good whisky in the way that makes you happy,” said Michael Giardina, Brand Director, Monkey Shoulder. “Now we’ve partnered with Joel McHale to bring that same outlook to dating. In a world where people often embellish to impress, we are encouraging people to drop the pretense, be their original selves, relax and have fun. Honestly, you don’t even need to thank us if you get a second date…just bring us to the wedding.”
