In two more days we won't have to listen to Joe Namath or Sam Davis anymore for a year!!!

[George II]

[CatMor]

1. I can't wait. Joe Namath really annoys me. ..

his voice is horrible.

[Srkdqltr]

2. Why do they make them sound so whiny?

[CrispyQ]

3. They don't bother me as much as Tom Selleck & Tommy Lee Jones selling reverse mortgages. -nt

[George II]

6. Don't know that I've seen TLJ, but Selleck is overdone too. A couple of times a day out of nowhere..

I say to my wife, "this isn't my first rodeo!" Drives her crazy.

[CrispyQ]

8. Isn't Selleck in a current TV series, too?

He doesn't have enough money that he has lower himself to do reverse mortgage commercials, too?

[George II]

10. I think his latest was Blue Bloods, not sure if it's still being filmed anymore.

[happybird]

19. That's what I always wonder about the big name stars in

the Capital One commercials.

[Demsrule86]

23. He is selling people who trust him from his multiple TV shows bad mortgages...these

sort of things end up getting people tossed out of their homes. I can't stand him.

[Me.]

9. Water Thief Tom SElleck?

[louis-t]

13. Almost forgot about avocado Tom, didn't you?

[Me.]

14. Not Me

Any creds he had disappeared with that.

[wryter2000]

18. Ack!

I always scream at Selleck "You haven't had a mortgage in 40 years!"

[PatSeg]

20. "If you're like me............"

Like Tom Selleck ever wondered about reverse mortgages before he did these commercials.

And Tommy Lee Jones selling financial services? Its not like he's needs the money and the publicity surely can't be good for an accomplished and critically acclaimed actor. It is such a turn off.

[Raven]

4. They are talking down to those of us who are seniors and

it's really insulting. Broadway Joe appears to have taken too many tackles.

[rsdsharp]

5. For a year?

I was in the hospital for five weeks in July and August. I watched a lot of MeTV — old shows from the 1960s. I saw Joe Namath multiple times a day.

[doc03]

7. Great now if they would do away with all the reverse mortgage, bent penis, erectile dysfunction,

all drug ads and the walk in tub ads I would be happy.

I wish there was someone that could sit down and explain all the damn Medicare supplements and Medicare Advantage
options that wasn't a damn salesperson. I don't understand them and I don't know anyone that does. They come out with that book
every year that instead of helping it confuses you. I get a Medicare Advantage from our union, they tell us how good it is. Then I talk to others that claim they pay nothing and their insurance covers things mine don't. My insurance doesn't cover all the things Broadway Joe advertises that he says is free.

[katmondoo]

12. They are pushing so hard to give you everything free, is it a scam?

I would be eligible but I have to change my primary doctor. What else down the road I don't know. I did not go any further said I wasn't interested.

[LuvNewcastle]

15. There was this one local walk-in tub ad I used to love.

This little white guy is standing and talking in front of a walk-in tub and all of a sudden, two huge black guys walk up, easily weighing 300 pounds apiece. At first you don't know what to think, and then one of the big men opens the door of the tub and each of them walks in and sits in each side of the tub. It looks hilarious, and it advertises how big the tubs are in a very concrete, memorable way. It's a great piece of advertising.

[PatSeg]

21. I don't think they want people to understand them

They are intentionally complicated and often misleading. Medicare itself is quite upfront and basic, but the "advantage" plans are the opposite. I hate that private insurance is involved in Medicare.

[hunter]

11. Huh?

The last time I heard Joe Namath he was selling pantyhose.

[central scrutinizer]

16. So glad this thread means nothing to me

Haven’t watched TV in almost a year.

[wryter2000]

17. They play Joe Namath all year

However, not with the same frequency as during the open enrollment period.

I want to slap anyone who makes these commercials. There's no freaking way you're going get back $144 on your social security. And there's no freaking way they have a free policy that includes dental, vision, rides to appointments, etc. It's totally dishonest. Joe Namath (and sadly, Danny Glover) should be ashamed of themselves.

[RussBLib]

22. or Joan Lunden

They are just nakedly preying upon the old folks. Preying on their potential confusion about their Medicare.

I WANNA GET ALL THE BENEFITS I DESERVE!!! Just STFU, PLEASE!

THE CALL IS ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! (Really? A free phone call!?! Well, fuck, I need to call!)

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. I'll be glad when trump doesn't occupy most of GD.
