DFW Commercials you'd like to see blown to smithereens !!

J

JayDavis

Here are a few I'd like to never see again.

Anything to do with Rodeo Ford and that gawd-awful, goofy-a** looking Cowboy they've got on their spots.

Same with Southwest Kia and Bill Dickason and his offer of, "If you can find a lower priced Kia anywhere in Texas (I think it is Texas), we're just gonna give it to you".

Bert King of Texas Toyota. Can that guy not talk without moving his hands in huge gestures?
"Remember, we can make that deal".

The lady from the Standard Car Insurance Commercials. She too has a hand movement problem, plus in the latest commercial, the "Oops" one as I call it, her blouse is just a little too tight for her boobies...........

Lastly, the Freed's Furniture commercials. I don't think I've ever seen a woman rub a sofa, a chair or a coffee table so sexually suggestive. Who is she sleeping with to get that job ??? :D
 
Jay, be nice to Burton Gilliam(Rodeo Ford Cowboy), he was In Blazing Saddles dude ;)

I'll give the SW Kia cable spots a break, they have some funny cuts (kitten w/lion roar, baby getting a bath,ect..)

I think ive already given my 2 cents on the Freeds Furniture lady and her whole sex-kitten scene.

What id give to have Mattress Mack spots here in Dallas ;)
 
I know he was in Blazing Saddles, but those just REALLY get under my skin.

What is your two cents worth about the girl from Freed's furniture? I'd like to know.

I tell you one that I like, and that is the ones from the lady from Mattress Firm. She has short hair and such a sexy voice. I'd take me some of that !! :D She is 100% better looking than her competition, Christine Cook from Sleep Experts..........
 
I believe Rodeo Ford and Southwest KIA are owned by the same group.

Click to expand...

Sounds like she slept with the sofa .... :D :eek:

OK, once and for all, the lawyer ads TRULY need to go!!! No exceptions, especially Mr. Adler, the most obnoxious ... he can't even read the Spanish cue cards believably enough (the Spanish stations should just dub over him, it would sound a lot better). Sometimes I've seen 2 or 3 different lawyer ads in a break...ridiculous!!

Tom Park needs to take a long vacation from ads. He was doing ads for a dealership in Tyler when I lived in east TX, then after I moved to Amarillo, there he was doing one, then when I moved back here, what did he do? Trophy Trophy you know the rest, and DFW Toyota in Hurst. It was like he knew what market I lived in or something 8)

There are more, but the orange lights in my vacuum tubes haven't warmed up enough yet.... :D
 
easttxtv,

Tom Parks is NATIONWIDE my friend !! He is in Houston for Ron Carter in Alvin. I think he also does some for a dealership in Minnesota.............that guy is raking in the $$$$

Lawyer ads should be removed as well as all the drug company ads. Did you know only the United States and I think New Zealand allow commercials by drug companies on TV ????
 
There's not more of a beating than those Dr Boothe ads for his eye center...the worst is the one with him in some Cowboys football outfit with the number "20/20" throwing a football with "$6M Man" sound effects in the background. To add insult to injury, he delivers his lines in a monotone voice and the awkward delivery would leave one to believe he has a brain injury. When these air, I always wonder what consumer is thinking "yeah, I want this guy to zap my eyes with lasers..."
 
Yes, the Dr. Boothe ones are pretty bad as well.

Now, although I am 110%, a Texas Tech Red Raider, you should turn into Channel 52 when the Texas Tech Men's Basketball team is on TV. As much as I love Bobby Knight, he should stick to coaching and not commercials. They are horrible...........

If you are really bored one day, go to google and type in

Bobby Knight Golf Lessons


When you play it, make sure no children or co-workers are around. Lots of @#!#$&*(%$#
 
Dr. Boothe has a dry delivery, but thats what makes him so appealing. You can surround him with all his "Celebrity" patients and it makes the ads pretty decent. As ive had a family member whos been treated by the good doctor, I can tell you he's a pretty decent guy
 
Yeah I gotta agree with Slam. The ads may be shlocky but at least they're local. Burton is a native Dallasite. He and his wife live in Allen. I haven't met him, but know people who have. They have nothing but kind things to say about him.

Now as far as grating ads, Dr. Boothe is the worst. He's so monotone he makes Ben Stein look animated. All those eye surgeons drive me nuts, regardless of whether it's Boothe, Whitman, Carter, or Tylock. I'm perfectly content with my glasses, thanks. I don't need to shell out a grand or more to be treated like cattle. I can get that treatment at McDonald's for $3.99.
 
OH Slambang: Dr. BOOTHE is NOT a nice decent guy. I knew 2 people who worked for him at different times. One felt they had a case of employee( not sexual) harrassment from him. They had a "V.O.R'" in their coat jacket and recorded a "sales meeting" with the Dr. He would tell them "if you don't increase your sales I'm gonna fire your a__" He told another who had low sales " You s- _ _ K" He had exercise equipment in an operating room. He also does free eye care for politicians,and is well connected. No slam he is not a nice guy.

His commercials are very bad. The Dallas Cowboy spot makes him look like he was trying out for a pop warner team.
The Lawyer spots ,especially monotone Grissom are deplorable
