Crazy local commercials
 
When my students first showed me this one, I didn't believe it was real.

Apparently, it is.

Words fail me.

And then a friend sent me this one.

What are they putting in the water in High Point?

This one is for gypsyboot's favorite restaurant in San Marcos. It does make me want a gyro.

Some of Chicago's finest:

Eagleman

Novelty Golf (sorry for the bad quality)

Okay so the commercial itself isn't TERRIBLE...but it was made, what in like the early 80's, and every summer it still comes on...

Moooooooo & Ooooink!

The Empire commercials are nationwide, it's the LUNA commercials that drive me nuts.

"Free floorin'" off key - not a good thing.

Oh I had no idea. I've never seen them when I'm at school or out of town...then again, it's not like I'm watching TV on vacation...lol Still, a Chicago classic!

And on that note, I've been looking for some of the fabulous Champaign commercials with no luck :(

GROANNNNN. Anyone who's spent any length of time in Bloomington/at IU knows about Ken Nun. *snap* It's just that easy


Oh, and I know about the 773 202 LUNAAAAA commercials as well :]

Anyone who grew up in Houston knows the words to the Thunderbolt Motors & Transmission Commercial Jingle. It's not exactly weird but its the first local commercial I thought of.

Thetagirl218 05-21-2009 11:03 PM

Awww....you beat at the Appliance Direct Commercial! That is such a staple in Central FL!

This is a different one that is my fav:

It has the lady in the ugly green dress that is married to the other guy! They actually own the business! There used to be a huge poster on 1-95 near Daytona! I am so glad they took it down....

That Eagle Man commercial gave me chest pains. I kid you not. What exactly are they selling?

This is not a local commercial, but it make me laugh "It's just like, it's just like a mini-mall!" (As if that's any better!)
