The Ugoff television commercial premiered May 13, 2004, during the series finale of the long-lived NBC sitcom, Frasier.[citation needed] The campaign ads called "House of Ugoff" featured the actor playing a fictional model and designer named Ugoff. He is supposed to be one of ambiguous European nationality (yet his pronunciation is German) who models his alleged invention, the "Salad Pouch". This very cocky, demanding and flamboyant character spouts various catchphrases throughout the ad such as "Please. I am Ugoff", and "Ugoff is hungry!".[citation needed]
The TV ad also plugged Ugoff.com (which now redirects to BK's website)- an Adobe Flash-based site that used viral marketing, similar to the "Subservient Chicken", to spread the word of the promotional item. It featured multimedia including various pictures and quotes by Ugoff as well as the Ugoff television commercial.[citation needed]
This campaign continued through the summer of '04 and has since been retired.[citation needed]
