Excellent promo running on Channel 12 starring the legendary Charlie Van Dyke. Charlie, 12's imaging voice, is featured in a funny promo/ parody of the Gieco spots.
 
Less "funny parody" and more "lame ripoff". The fact that it's got Charlie in there is great... he's my all-time favorite "voice guy". I just wish they had made it funny!

Been running quite a bit since the start of the Olympics. Charlie is great guy. Sure miss him doing radio locally.

We're the experts on that...and the Nurse and I like the Mc12 promo! Is that CVD's personal Sennheiser? Sure doesn't look like the average mic laying around a TV studio!
 
It definitely looks better than my Mr. Microphone. ;D

Of course, CVD can't use his microphone while driving to pick-up chicks! I keep my Mr. Microphone set @ 92.3 and use it all the time. 8)
 
When I grow up I want Charlie's voice. The spots are great.
I'm waiting for the Cave Man spot. I'll audition. Akbar, want to come along?

I'll pass on that, Luvable One....however Nurse Jeff most resembles the gecko and I'm his agent!!
 
They're a rip-off of the Geico ads but without any humor.

Amazing to me how anyone at 12 thought these were worth money.
 
Great spots. Hope they keep running them now that Don has passed away.
 
Ripping off the Geico spots are just another example of the "Hooterville" (small town) mentality of channel 12. I hated the spots the first time I saw them and I dislike them even more now.

By the way, I was raised in a small town and I was sick of the way the local newspaper ripped off nationally known slogans and used them in ads for local merchants. Kinda makes the people of Hooterville look like Rhodes scholars!

Absolutely LOVE CVD's work. Any truth to the story that as a child, his vocal chords were scarred from Scarlett fever? If true, I want to get Scarlett fever. Or maybe not.
 
You guys analyze it too much.

Some of you need to step back & look at it thru the eyes of John Q. Public.
It was funny & it was nice for people to see what the man with "the voice" looks like.
Everyone I talked to thought it was great.
