I just ate my breakfast... Excuse me, I have to barf now after thinking about this lack of advertising talent.
Ditto. The sandwich they are advertising wasn't even all that cheesy. I was expecting 8 slices of cheese. "Would you like some beef with your cheese burger sir?"

No kidding.

I also can't stand locals who do their own commercials and think they are an actor. Pay a professional!!! I know Mathis Brothers can afford it, and how about good old boy Drew Braum from Braums. MMM doesn't that look good? No it looks plastic and cheesy. The car dealers of course, Big Red Sports and Imports and the Norman Nobody/Edmond Somebody car guy I would never by a car from any of them because of their annoying commercials

Norman Nobody makes me sick. I also don't care for the Sonic commercials. The two guys that do the commercials are ok sometime, but they don't have a lick of talent. The man and the lady are just plain stupid. I would love to see her reach over and back hand that guy when he smarts off to her. He looks like he came from geek city.

I wish they would go back to the commercials when they had the pretty young ladies that were actually advertising the product without trying to be funny.

Any advertising that says they are x number of minutes away. That is misleading. You can not predict traffic, weather or other conditions. Give me distance in what distance means... Miles. Minutes is a time factor not a distance.

I guarantee, if it takes me longer to get somewhere than they claim, then I will show them my cars license plate and enforce it. "illsuu."

I actually saw 2 Sonic commercials that I like! It's the man & woman advertising the Sweetheart Brownie Blast. The one I like best was the brownie "bits" versus "bites"; it made me roll!

What's the deal with the guy from Big Red Sports in Norman? Does he really not realize how oogey his hair is?? Makes him seem greasy, seedy, and untrustworthy, IMO. No way would I buy a car from him!!

You know, I may be the only person on the face of earth to dislike the main figure in an ongoing, multi series commercial that isn't a real person. I still can't understand how I could acquire a genuine dislike for a personage, not a person. This non-person to which I am referring is the Creepy, COX DIGITAL MAN, all dressed in blue, including blue shoes and acting so darned condecending...I dunno if it's his facial expressions or what, but there are a few of those commercials that are quite clever, but he just ruins them.

GrandMaMa you make two people that I know of who finds "Max" Creepy. My mom won't just mute those commercials or not watch it, she'll turn the channel!

Joe Cooper Ford and their $10,000 low price guarantee commercial. That guarantee is the biggest load of crap. Gee lets think about this..... Should we discount the car a few hundred bucks or give away 10 grand.

And that folks is how I really feel.

I agree with you on that one mranderson, especially on the Affordable Furniture commercial, after all "its where working women shop"

I can't let this opportunity pass without mentioning just one more that I just knoooooooooooow that we all know and love. At first, I thought that they were sort of, well... sadistically funny, now they sicken me. Call it overexposure or just plain overdone, but....the CAPITAL ONE commercials. "What's in your wallet?" Jeesh!

Brown Furniture in Shawnee. Their spokesperson/owner(?) kills me. He seems so depressed. Recently there was one of their commercials where he mentions that they have some "exciting" items for sale. I've never heard the work "exciting" sound so sad. He reminds me of droopy dog.

Monk, you are so right! I remember that one. He does seem quite genuine, but methinks he would portray a mortician much better...maybe he could hire out to do a commercial for them and they could some and do his...couldn't be any worse.

Exactly, it reminds me of a commercial more for a funeral home than a furniture store.

I can just imagine it now: I walk in to the furniture store and I hear a creeking sound as the nice 'ole gentleman slowly approaches me (of course, he has a flower in his lapel) and proceeds to show me which couch would make a wonderful "final" resting place....YIKES!!!!!

I picture walking into the place and him greeting me like Eeyore. "Huullo. Feel free to look around even though you probably won't buy anything...noone ever does."

I haven't lived in OKC for a few years, so I don't know if this commercial still airs, but does anyone remember...

"The price is right, noooooooooow at Oklahoma Discount Furniture!"

That used to annoy me so much. And they usually had 2 commercials back to back, which made it worse.

I know the commercial you are talking about. It's been a while since I've seen that one.

I remember those. It seemed like they always had three air in a row. By the time the third finished I was ready to put a brick through my TV.

You know, you would think that they would do their homework before they spent all of that money annoying folks. Some of those commercials actually repulse you enough to make you go anywhere but there. I guess it costs a lot of money to make those commercials, and I guess they need to get their money's worth, but I just hate seeing the same ones over and over and over...you almost have them memorized by the time they quit showing them. I guess they can't all be Budweiser quality...LOL

Here's another one that just hit me. Annoying as hell, but I guess that's why I can repeat it line for line some 15 years later.

Gene Messer Ford. Anyone else remember?
