David Ortiz for Comcast: "You gotta try my new recipe for mango salsa! Ooh, mama!"

Ah, so that's why I pay $130 a month for your shitty cable. Good work.

Yes, Victory Auto Wreckers is the one with the door faling off.

not really hilarious, but pretty annoying, is the radio luke-oil commercial during phillies games. and i think they play it every single commercial break.

"americans love to take a drive for any reason"

apparently the greater st. louis area has a hooters rip-off called show-mes. nice.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 19 May 2005 15:45 (eighteen years ago) link

NO WAY!

I guess St. Louis really IS a great place to play baseball!

The incredibly wooden Castiglione/Trupiano spot for "Mike's Hard Berry" that WEEI has been running lately is tremendous.

"I just saw it on my last trip to the grocery store. Even the packaging looks refreshing!"

i like that you have the fortune of seeing broadcasts from around the country.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 02:17 (eighteen years ago) link

You can, too, jay, w/ EXTRA INNINGS!

Using "wooden" to describe Castiglione & Trup is excessively redundant.

i like how the victory auto wreckers ad is "new and improved". same footage of scuzzy guy in tight jeans and members only jacket, but new voiceover and graphics.
i could probably recite the whole lincoln tech ad they used to run. "whether you're overemployed or underemployed, out of work or soon will be, or just looking to turn your career around..."

This doesn't really fit the criteria of the thread, but I was in the Beaumont, TX area last weekend and saw a local car dealership ad featuring Lamar University product Kevin Millar!

i always love the ones for Bobs Discount Furniture. Part of my wants to fuck the shit out of that woman who is on there laying on the beds and shit.

― Lupton Pitman (Chris V), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 11:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha, there was just one on FSN during the Twins-Yankees game and while I only overheard it the gist was Ron Gardenhire was bitching about how stupid an ump was... for not wearing his seatbelt. Torii (I think) added the tagline "If you don't buckle up, you could be out -- and even ejected." Considering how easy it's come for Gardy to bitch at stupid umpiring, I'm surprised he was so wooden.

four weeks pass...

Big fan of the 'Fanaticos De los Yanquis' commercials advertising the SAP simulcast feature. The camera is set up low and the players aren't trained in prompter reading so you can see their eyes move back and forth along the lines. Plus the player's aren't lit even HALF well, so there's a whole public-access-city-council-vote-for-me feeling about it. Plus the subtitles are in English and not spanish... so... what happens if you have a deaf spaniard who wants to read the pbp of the game, hmmm...?

tracheotomy dude started out in the Boston market 3 years ago and is apparently so effective that when NYC licensed it they saw 20,000+ extra calls to the anti-smoking line in two weeks ALONE.

but thats not really a baseball thing.

thing thats bugging me and gives extra ammo to the Empire haters are these godawful infoads for Fox News on YES that chew up about a minute. I figured it was unsold ad space until I realized it was a Red Sox game, and thus likely the offspring of some unholy alliance between Steinbrenner and Murdoch.

Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and David Carr selling HEB meats.

Very high production values, but they are surreal.

also, the classic Phil Rizzuto spots for The Money Store.

have any of you guys seen the commercial featuring the skeezy foreign-seeming dude who tries to sell you totally bogus sports paraphernalia? and at one point he says, "want minnesota?" and he snaps his fingers and two twins appear, one wearing a "mini" shirt and the other wearing a "soda" shirt, and he says, "twins!"

If you were a car dealer in the NY market creating a radio spot for Mets games, why would your script include the phrase "home base"? Maybe let someone who likes baseball read it first?
