better than the average bare

What a supposedly-above-average stripper or nudist-camp member claims to be.

Folks who are covered in tattoos may view themselves as being "better than the average bare", but if a fellow human is gonna "drop it all for me", I would much prefer just a "pian 'n' natural look" in the skin-department.

better than the average Bayer

What a supposedly-superior brand of aspirin claims to be.

If you add an "abbreviating apostrophe" right before da capital "b" in da "better than the average Bayer" phrase --- i.e., if you spell it "'Bayer", thus eliminating da small "e' at da beginning of da word --- then it could also refer to an online buyer/seller who exhibits exemplary behavior/performance.

smarter than the average Behr

A better painter than ya typically find among novice color-appliers.

I don't claim to be "smarter than the average Behr", but I do always try to work carefully and neatly.
