Annoying local commercials

[pstokely]

Car dealer ads seem to be the most annoying to me. Kansas City has many of them like Neal's Finance Plaza (used car dealer that rips off poor people).I refuse to buy even a Yugo from them until they stop annoying me.

1. "Beaver Toyota" and their blonde bimbo spokesperson

2. Bob's Discount Furniture

New Englanders will know what I'm talking about. The nasally, whiney twit and his faux wife who insist in appearing in every damn spot, even the animated football one that airs during Patriots games.

:mad:

20. I miss Deans' ...

"Can YOU find a better deal? I DOUBT IT!"

3. Local car commercials.

For the love of god... those car commercials... I have never wanted to buy a product LESS than when I see those.

If I ever went insane and starting killing/maiming/blowing things up, it would probably start at one of those local car places. (No, that's not a threat... just a warning. :evilgrin: )

12. "Here's Cal Worthington and his dog Spot!" (Cal is standing with a lion)

"If you want a brand new car go see Cal..."

Blah Blah Blah, Florin Road, Sacramentooooo

[LeftyMom]

21. That was my first thought too.

Amazingly good advertising, when you think about it, since they haven't been around for twenty years or something like that.

The Diamond Center had some memorably horrible commercials too.

Oh crap, they have some of them on YouTube.

[CreekDog]

28. Hi I'm Paul from the Diamond Center...

Pee eww

[pstokely]

25. Don't they mean his cat spot if he's with a lion

[CreekDog]

29. See, that was the joke, cuz it's like a lion but he calls it a dog, "Spot"

from wikipedia regarding "Spot":

"He was usually joined by his "Dog Spot", except that "Spot" was never a dog. Often, Spot is a tiger or elephant or bear. Spot was officially retired in the mid 1980s."

[LeftyMom]

30. No, it's always his "dog." Then they'd show him with an elephant or sea lion or something.

They're on YouTube if you want to take a look.

They were on all of the UHF channels every single commercial break for my whole childhood, and I lived within walking distance of the dealership. The people who run it now have less annoying commercials. Still annoying, because the guy talks really loud "This is PAUL BLANCO with PAUL BLANCO CHEVROLET on FLORIN ROAD" but not "go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal" annoying.

31. More "dog spot" useless trivia...

In an episode of Sanford and Son, Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) is making a television commercial for his salvage yard and refers to his son Lamont (Demond Wilson) as "My dog spot".

5. A local flooring store has an ad with an impossibly cheerful woman

with a grin like the Joker's.
I'd have dirt floors before I'd buy carpet or tile there.

[AllegroRondo]

6. St Louis has "Becky's Carpets"

A lady who flies around the arch on a carpet. yeesh.

[skygazer]

7. Tom Shane of The Shane Company

He sells diamonds. Has the most annoying voice in the universe and always does the commercials which usually consist of some dumbass asking him for advice - "Tom, my anniversary is coming up and I know my wife is going to want a god-awful, ugly, tacky, oversized diamond."

"Well, Jim, you need to come to the Shane Company. We have more ugly diamonds than any other diamond outlet and for more extravagant prices!"

:puke:

[AlCzervik]

9. "You've got a friend in the Diamond/Pearl/colored gemstone business"

his voice is like a valium.

[CreekDog]

17. "Now you have a friend in the diamond business, the Shane company"

Sorry to be pedantic about the actual wording, but that stupid commercial planted itself where 50 points worth of SAT and GRE words should have been.

[AlCzervik]

23. well it's the holiday that dictates what kind of friend Shane co is, Mothers days

usually means "You have a friend in the pearl business" Valentines day "You have a friend the diamond business".

[CreekDog]

27. I bow to your memory --mind like a steel trap nt

[Omphaloskepsis]

8. Mr. Appliance..

http://youtube.com/watch?v=NZV1yteo_j4

They play these all of the time.

[question everything]

10. "He went to Jared"

nya nya nya

Appears right before Christmas, Valentine, Mother Day and in between. Several couples at a party, one woman shows a bauble and the others run to their husbands nagging: "He went to Jared."

If I were one of these husbands I would smack her right then and there, instead of looking so sheepish and, yes, impotent.

[ChickMagic]

16. Hee hee

The dog will get you in your sleep! Boo!

[JackBeck]

14. (Sung) 800-5-8-8-23-Hundred, Empire! ...Today.

SOme freakin' carpet company.

[pstokely]

26. I don't think that's a local commercial

I've seen that ad in Kansas City

[SoxFan]

15. "Who do you call when your winshields busted?"

Come everyone, sing along!

[BarenakedLady]

18. Yup

I HATE the local dealership ads. Loathe them.

[CreekDog]

19. Ginsler-Lee Diamonds, the place to buy diamonds if you're really smart

Ginsler-Lee Diamonds the storrrrrreeeee, with the heart!

Back in the days of Dr. Don, KFRC 610, 1260 KYA and AM radio in the Bay Area.

This jingle was revived in the movie "Zodiac" where it was playing on the radio before the first murder, right near Hurdy Gurdy Girl on KYA.

That commercial was truly my first brain implant.

[LeftyMom]

22. The Diamond Center. I win.

Most annoying commercials ever. Starring Paul, who's kinda got a Richard Simmons thing going on, minus the sparkly gym shorts.

[RebelSansCause]

24. I get Sonic commercials, the fast food joint, and I live

in NYC. i looked up the closest Sonic, it's in Philly. :wtf: oh, and those stupid baseball commercials with that inane comedian. (sorry i don't really watch much TV but my roommate does)

[ceile]

32. "See ya in a Capital KIA" (annoying jingle)

"If I can't beat a new car KIA deal, I'm just gonna give it you"
:banghead:
