Most annoying ad!

[OrlandoMike]

Do you have a local company that has television ad's that are so annoying they are actually funny?

This is an Orlando classic! Appliance Direct!

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse! They opened a Scratch and Dent workd, and yes her dress comes in Orange! :scared1:

What are some crazy ad's from your area?

[Jaxpiper]

hahaha...I love that guy

He and Billy Mays :sad1: RIP bro...

Isn't it funny how cheesy commercial guys become cult heroes?

[rpmdfw]

and yes her dress comes in Orange! :scared1:

You just KNOW that she went and bought the orange fabric and used the same "Simplicty" pattern to whip it up, too! :rotfl2:


Not a funny ad, from my local area, but check out "The Red House" commercials on youtube. They're hilarious!

Rob, I know you cant get Youtube at work, but you gotta watch the first clip at home tonight! Apparently she found a "Simplicty" pattern for a pant suit!

And the best part is, you just know she "paid too much!" :rotfl2:

Nelson loves that guy! He turns on the TV the minute we get there and will not move until he sees that commercial! :sad2::sad2::sad2:

[BubblPopElectrc]

I noticed that commercial the last time I was at Disney. They must have played it 100 times.

My favorite is how she has a knee brace yet she's running across a row of washing machines (which she would have had to climb up onto before).

[rpmdfw]

Rob, I know you cant get Youtube at work,

Which is why I can't look up the "Red House" furniture ads. But you've got to see it!

They attempt to do a "diversity" thing. And it's . . . undescribably bad.

That came on last night and Shrek reached for the car keys! :laughing:

[Jaxpiper]

Didn't I tell you! :rotfl2:

That was painful....:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

I think the script was from the book "Diversity for Dummies"

I love the soundtrack though; I think it's number 6 on a 1987 Casio keyboard :music:

[DVC~OKW~96]

I don't know whether to be properly horrified at the REDDDDDDDD HOUSE! or find some level of understanding for what it is they are trying to do. I think horrified is winning.

For Orlando locals, the commercials I love to hate are Bob Dance and that stupid granddaughter, Gracie. Sorry but he's a goof and she's NOT a dancer! :rolleyes:

Is that a used car dealership? I vaguely remember something like that...

[soulmates]

How entertaining! I live in the "Furniture Capital" of the world here. We have some doosies!! We have "Financing Freddie" and "Itchy Popkin" and my fav commercial on the radio, "You can bring yo kids, yo grandmama and we got a front porch where you can tie the dog up"! No joke. Is this supposed to inspire me to want to purchase ANYTHING from these people? Everytime I see or hear those ads, I think, "I KNOW I could write funnier stuff than that!" :sad2:

I just have to laugh at the REDDDD House Ads! They're so bad that they're good. They're the Grease 2 of television commercials. :lmao:

All of our local car dealerships have awful ads! What makes these people think I want to look at their obnoxious children/grandchildren? Between annoying Gracie, and obnoxious Preston selling Kias, I can almost (ALMOST) stomach "Mr. Unbelievable" the ugly dog selling Toyotas.

Dont forget David Maus! I have a friend who actually thinks he is hot! :eek:

::yes:: Nelson has been down there at some of the furniture shows. His company is in textiles... Hmmm... I wonder when the next time he is going???

I thought he was kind of hot, too. Until I watched his ads and realized that he was born with no personality. And what's with the double point thing?

[Lukas87]

There worst orlando ads by far are the Fun Spot ones... they just scream "ITS HUGE" at you over and over again.

oddly enough, Wally paid to take out a similar add during the 3:00am infomercial block

And with the current president:

Some of the best ones from back in the day had Mel Lastman running around the store in a convinct's black and white striped jumper... we then elected him mayor :rolleyes1

I can't figure out why they think Canadians will buy furniture, because they have someone impersonating the American president in their adds :rotfl:.

I got her autograph at one of the past Orlando Home Shows. She was wearing "The Dress" at the event. :banana:

[colaboy29]

Bob Dance Automotive used to have lots of crazy ones. Unfortunately, Mr. Dance died last year. Here's a tribute video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7_uYySRz_Y

A year or so ago he started having his grand-daughter in them. You'll see her in the last few clips.The son has now taken over on the ads but the girl still gives the prices of the car in the most obnoxious voice. I can't find any of thecurrent ads on YouTube. Probably because they aren't goofy like the originals were.

[xjrmssddeg]

Sakura con commercial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP5lz2CYNR4 seriously it's an anime con and they can't even get the guy to say Ramune plus opening people "i love sushi" "i love Japan" are people you would NEVER see at a con if they are not dragged there by their kids....:confused3
Bucks county River country

.... The add from them last year was so much worse but i can't find it on youtube.They always say that last line ALWAYS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Muzn6MU7o
The guy has gotten fatter and has a bigger beard but the diamond is STILL in there

[craiggers]

I have loved the Appliance Direct guy for years. I have had conversations about him in VA, DC, WV...he's an icon!!!!!:lmao:

[DVC~OKW~96]

just radioactive enough:scared1::scared1: Scary thing is, that was probably the truth!

I didn't know that Gracie's Grandfather had died. Rest in peace Bob. Doesn't mean I like the ads any better...

Doesn't every area have some silly local ad that is more embarrassing than promotional? It makes me wonder who convinces these people that the ads are a good business strategy.

Years ago there was a tv ad for a local insurance agency. It was a line drawing of a man's head with a scratchy record playing in the background, "Call Harry F. Rice for Insurance Advice..." Funny how those things stick in your mind...forever apparently!

I'm not sure how to take this sir.
But take it - I will.
Twice if you insist.

[iwish81792]

Ugh. In Upstate NY it's the Billy Fuccillo car commercials. The one line that has to happen is a variation of "It's gonna be HUUUUUUUGE-UH." It's horrible.

Ya! That is pretty annoying!

And have you noticed how the ads now days are louder than the TV show itself? I guess thats so if you have to go in the kitchen for a snack you can still hear the message! :sad2:

Appliance Direct....

Make it stop...

Imagine living near them. **hanging head in shame**

Why must they always get some of the worst people in commercials and on the news? When a tornado comes through the get the guy in the trailer park with no teeth who can't speak a language we understand on the news too.

Yes! That is so freaking annoying. That is part of the reason I love to record everything and then zoom through the commercials.

I've lived in Upstate NY, I've been subjected to Billy Fucillo, as well as Jim "The Hammer" Shapiro (personal injury lawyer) ... and now I live in Orlando, and I'm subjected to Appliance Direct ... and all the local car dealer ads suck. I can never listen to the ghostbusters theme song again :(
