Flea Market Montgomery

I tend to hate local television commercials like the Hyundai commercials that are in circulation right now, with the Hyundai guy dressed like Abe Lincoln. Terrible. Or the Brahler Tire and Lube Center commercials; that song is horrendous. There's another one, too. The All-American T-Shirt and Embroidery commercial. The song in that sounds like the entrance music of a horrible patriotic professional wrestler from the mid-80s. Just bad.

Just today, I discovered this gem of a local commercial on Youtube. It has nothing to do with Springfield, but it just shows you how local television advertising can be even worse than anything you've ever seen before.

This is ridiculous. Bad hip-hop about living room sets and dinettes, a flea market that's like a mini mall, and then a terrible dance.

Enjoy!

"It's just like a mini-mall... heehee you heard me"

I came across this the other day. Reminds me a lot of the Downers commercials... "Where you always get a free onion!"

My least favorite local commercial of the moment is this one ...

Dick Van Dyke
Appliance World
When you buy from us
You GET the whole store

UGH!! Everytime I here it, it's stuck in my head for DAYS! Here we go again ... [subliminal]Dick Van Dyke ... Appliance World ... When you buy from us ... [/subliminal]

Yes, the Downers commercial was a real treat.

Oh, Thirty, I also detest that Dick Van Dyke commercial. That is one of the most useless songs. But I also get it stuck in my head. In fact, yep, it's stuck there right now. Thanks a bunch!

Shoo-

That last Sammy Stephens vid you posted is even better than the original. How does that dude manage to keep a straight face? It's so bad.

It's rippin'!

here's another craptastic video that worthy of watching.. Listen to the lyrics, they don't make a lot of sense and you could say anything in front of that background music and it would work. Read the SJR with this playing in the background and you'll see.

Pardon my French, but that "Chocolate Rain" song is shit. I am no so angry from listening to it.

Thanks for sharing Travis. See you tomorrow. I can't wait to throw bags at things.

My dad used to say "Pardon my French" when I was a kid, and I thought.."wow, my dad knows French." Turns out he was just swearing. So sorry to infom you, but that is not a foreign language, just potty mouth.
