Limu Emu and Doug is now tops in "commericals that I can't understand the intent for whatsoever." And that ad campaign frankly does NOT translate to radio. At all.
You've got it... it is all about top of mind awareness. If you create that, you can also stress lower cost or customizable policies or better claims service or whatever.
"The guy who sings with (the) kid" is mimicking Johnny Cash. I never interpreted it as creepy or offensive as you apparently do. Sorry you feel that way.
That doesn't sound like Johnny Cash to me. Perhaps if he sang the jingle on his own, but such was the way I interpreted it when I first heard it. I said creepy, not offensive. "Offensive" and "offended" are far too over used in today's common vernacular. It was more that the layout of the jingle was interpreted as such in my young mind at the time, and the impression got a bit ingrained, as they never dropped the original version even with recording its variants and updated versions. If the goal was to sound like Johnny Cash, then my original analysis of not liking is even stronger, adding the fact that they thought the man behind songs like "Folsom Prison Blues," "The Wanderer," "Ain't No Grave," "When the Man Comes Around," and so on was the guy to emulate in an upbeat ad aiming to donate cars. Why not try to emulate Jim Morrison or David Gilmore as well?
I already have a headache thinking about it!
Problem is people would end up calling a different phone number thanks to Koooonah's speech impediment.
GOONER doesn't understand American math or our grammar for that matter. "Text seven zero four seven zero, that's seventy-four seventy." In my world seventy-four seventy is 74,70. And then there's his grammar issue with plural nouns, the democrats-is, her parents-is. SMH.
😂 😃No, I'm not happy, Norm. iHeart let go of Michael Coleman when WBZ moved out of 1170 SFR. Really. Dumb. Move. In addition to his oftentimes zany creativity in creating ad copy of station imaging, Michael could do many voices. With Michael pretty much gone, we now have bland. Bostonians with severely bad accents should not be allowed on the radio UNLESS their accents have been suppressed some 60 dB or more. A Noo Yawk accent is less grating on the ears.
Howie could probably hawk a dead groundhog and his adoring fans would go bananas over it.You just can't make this crap up! Not only does Howie take a certain product that gives him "mental clarity" 😂 (LMAO) BUT, he also takes a certain product for "memory and focus". Does anyone else find this amusing seeing as Howie can't even remember the call in number to his show, among other things?
As Howie would say, "You can't make this stuff up--it would take a heart of stone not to laugh"You just can't make this crap up!

I believe it's in fact "Weslend" but pronounced like you say, and their "no-brainer" ads are pretty much identical to a series of ads that used to run 10 years or so ago by "Lenox Financial" (pronounced "Linux" by the No-Brainer Guy) until they got in trouble in a few states for running misleading ads that offered "no closing costs" when in fact there were often closing costs, and for conducting their business without the holding the necessary licenses. I don't know for sure if they're two different companies, but as I said, they're doing the same pitch in their ads with an identical-sounding pitchman.
