New ACE hardware commercial series

[PrincessShmoo]

I'm loving it.

Ace is the place that knows you can't mow mud.

Ace is the place that knows kids write on walls....

Ace is the place for a taste before you buy a whole meal. That's a metaphor. Don't eat paint.

Ace is the place with the stuff for squeaking hinges that's called WD40, not 10W40, which is motor oil that we also sell.

Ace is the place where you can't possibly contain your enthusiasm for self-propelled mowers.

I love Ace hardware. We had one near my house then it closed which bummed me out.

Love the new commercial series! Don't have one near me though. Our grass has been decimated by neglect and the entire neighborhood's kids playing football, etc, on it and the "can't mow mud" gets me every time

 

[Mokat76]

I like the sly, droll humor of them. I laugh every time.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Ace is the place to grow bigger, better vegetables. That your kids still won't eat.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Ace is the place where lawn advice is always free.
And speaking of free... (dot, dot, dot)

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Ace is the place with the cure for lawn pattern baldness.

I absolutely love the paint one. It makes me laugh every time! I was just telling my fiancée about that one the other day.

Oh my, I'm definitely in the minority on this one. I can't stand these commercials! It's the way they extend the lyrics on a single note at the end of the melody that irritates the daylights out of me. If I'm quick enough, I hit the mute button as soon as I realize it's an Ace commercial.

I'm in the majority with most of you! Remember their tired jingle, "Ace is the place with the helpful hardware man"? Did you notice that for a while they tried to update it to not sound sexist? I think they may have used the word "folks" in place of "man". Maybe, I don't know. Totally not memorable. But the tune and the words "Ace is the place..." still sticks in our minds. I think combining the their tired old jingle that was bad but memorable into something hilarious was absolutely genius. Hurray for that marketing man, er, I mean those marketing folks!!

Ace is the place where folks know that Craftsman is the Dad equivalent of flowers on Mother's Day.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

Ace is the place with the helpful hardware folks.
... folks that can save you a ton of money on Craftsman tools. Theoretically. You can't weigh savings.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

...folks that give you double the paint for single the price.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

the place to get tools that Brock's dad swears by. And he's a really good swearer.

 

[rastahomie]

Ace is the place with the jingles that completely ignore the meter of the song.

A friend of mine and her dh co-own an Ace. They love owning it much more than the Quiznos they used to have and are quite happy with the new commercials.

 

[PrincessShmoo]

....where you can help us help kids.
While we're helping you.
That's a lot of help.

....where you can help us help kids.
While we're helping you.
That's a lot of help.

I don't like this one. The really good swearer one is my favourite so far..

 

[PrincessShmoo]

I don't like this one. The really good swearer one is my favourite so far..

My favorite remains the first one - Ace is the place that knows you can't mow mud.

New one:

Ace is the place that can answer any light bulb question. Except why kids never turn them off when they leave rooms.

And for Christmas:

Ace is the place with lights that last 10 years.
But still take 'em down each year.
Don't want to be "that" neighbor.
