    Whee!

    Modern advertising needs less invasiveness and more of this silliness.

    It drove carpet sales. Every new house owner had to rip out the nicotine sponges.

    Is "floor show" some kind of a wordplay? English is not my mother tongue so I have to ask.

    "Floor Show" is not ultra-common vocab but it means the lineup of acts and entertainment at a club.

    Even not knowing that, native speakers would see there is a pun going on via the more common idiomatic phrase "[the] greatest show in town" - historically often used by travelling circuses etc to advertise themselves.
