OKC’s Worst TV Commercials

[Mr. Blue Sky]

I’ll keep it simple.
What are the worst local tv commercials?

Mine:

- Mattress King (just embarrassingly bad)
- Anything from David Stanley
- Mattress King (worth making the list twice)

Air Comfort Solutions

This. Followed by Suntech (same diff).

And also pretty much agree with the rest of the list here...

Air Comfort Solutions

And they have to put a Football in this dude's hands so you can remember his Heisman trophy was the peak of his career.

And often cited as one of the poor choices by Heisman voters, The runner-up, Eli Manning has been playing in the HFL how many years now? Jason, is now known for Air Comfort Solutions billboards and commercials. Good player, but not bright enough for the NFL and certainly nowhere near the player Eli has been. (Until yesterday anyway!) Jason was great that year though - I know.

Seriously? Manning came in a distant 3rd... Not being bright enough is a ridiculous statement, his leg injuries ended his pro prospects. Jason’s a great guy and a very deserving winner of the Heisman and you sir are full of crap... He was the best that year and one can only imagine how good he could have been if he had had healthy legs...

Ross drove me nuts when he did the Four Day Furniture ads when I lived in Tulsa, and I thought I had escaped them. I was wrong, but now I kind of laugh when I see him doing the Windmill Arm.

Battison commercials get to me with that awful off-tune exit jingle, and the Suntech commercials make me cringe.

Since when is the Heisman about who is going to have the better pro career? It's about who had the best season the year it's awarded, and that's it.

2003 season:

Jason White: 278/451 Comp/Att - 61.6 Comp % - 3,846 yards - 40 TD - 10 INT - 158.1 Passer Rating
Eli Manning: 275/441 Comp/Att - 62.4 Comp % - 3,600 yards - 29 TD - 10 INT - 148.1 Passer Rating

Jason went undefeated in the regular season (lost 2 post-season games)
Eli lost 3 games in the regular season.

I fail to understand your reasoning for thinking Eli should have won based on what they both did in 2003 season.

Mea culpa! Mea culpa!
This is supposed to be a fun, lighthearted thread. Taking football that seriously is silly. (IMO) but you are right! Jason White had a great season - I know that - and said so in the thread.

I have heard and read that those NFL tests for intelligence and ability to run complex schemes, etc. ... that he was one of the lowest ever rated. Whatever. But, yes, he had a great year his Heisman year. Was he the best player in the country that year? Heisman voters like QB stats, so I guess that means he was. . And a great many years selling Air Comfort Solutions. All good things to Jason White.

Not a fan of Johnny Ross I take it?

[Bullbear]

1-800 2 sell homes.

especially ones where she says that phrase.. and puts up 2 fingers.. but misses the que for "2"

And that's no bull.

CJ's Bail Bonds.

Reynolds Ford with Dale Daniel's daughter

Absolutely agreed on the David Scamley commercials. I just can't stand them. And honestly, any commercial that includes Johnny Ross (the windmill arm guy - most recently in the Mattress King commercials, but he's done local ads for decades).

[d-usa]

I think the Mattress King commercials are the only commercials I like him in. They just fit him and are corny enough where he seems natural.

[Mr. Blue Sky]

How could I forget Oklahoma Discount Furniture?
Those Ross commercials at Mattress King just get on my nerves. “The King” and the really stupid things they do. Just horrible stuff.

Oh yesss.... 1-800-2 sell homes. Leo Kingston still involved with that? He still married to Pauline (?) I know he’s an ex-con and for close to that same stuff wasn’t it?

[kukblue1]

Don't get bite by the mattress shark. You all are now singing it.

I had blissfully forgotten those commercials until you posted this. I now simultaneously hate you for reminding me of them, and 100% agree with you, lol. Those were terrible commercials that would make me mute sound immediately when they came on. Those and the Hudiberg Elves spots on the radio. *shudder*

Ha,yes, sorry. The singing elves get the mute button too. Also the auto dealer in Norman with the bouncing ball jingle? Now that's in my head. LOL

Kinda makes Linda Soundtrak seem excellent, huh?
