My submission for worst local commercial would be any local attorney commercials. The one I really hated was the two guys, one was Conway and I forgot the other that died back in May 2006. Those commercials from the two were always bad.

I think the Mackie McNears commercials suck a lame duck fart, but for some reason I'm always hungry after listening to Mack describe the "most served steak in all of Oklahoma".

Me too.

LET'S GO!

Daniel....(may he RIP)....man, that guy ended up having some serious issues.....maybe those commericals he shot got to him too?? ....:dizzy:

I CANNOT believe no one has mentioned Mr. Sprigg's BBQ (Sprigg's BBQ, Sprigg's BBQ) I didni't know R. Kelley did songs about BBQ! The best part is: "MEAT FALLS OFF THE BOOOOOOONE..."

Where is his son Bo Newsom at these days?

The last I heard, Bo was living up north and was shooting a tv show for Cabela's.

"Affordable Furniture.....Where the working women shop"

Considering this is in a sleazy shopping center and RIGHT NEXT DOOR to a strip club is this really the wording they should use. SALE ON USED MATTRESS'

1. Anything involving Wava.
2. 1-800 2 Sell Homes
3. Mathis Brothers (gotta love when they throw in that ugly dog)
4. Bob Mills (its a Cosby sweater)
5. The radio spot for some heat and air company where they reworded Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire"

Ok, Wava isn't going to win any awards with her commercials, but she is truly a nice lady.

800-2-Sell Homes by a long shot...i'm shocked they are back after getting caught for being a scam operation under their old name.

I would also say the local lawyer with "No one will take advantage of you, I mean No one"...like he is some mafia thug.

never met the lawyer in the ad, but I'd agree your perception is what is intended by the ad. Not the worst lawyer ad I've ever seen, but also not the best.

A few years ago, there was an injury lawyer commercial where the actual victim (maybe) was describing how she got into her accident. It started "I was turning left from Penn onto May." WHAT????

Bwahahaha. No wonder she was in an accident. She didn't even know where the heck she was!

Every Integris Health commercial is an affront to God and humanity both.

Automax ones with Paul Newsom.
i heard he was a nice person, and he seems like one. don't mean to get off the subject, but does he do an outdoor (hunting) show sometimes?

Yeah...I think it's called "Paul Newsom's Great Outdoors".

There are no good hospital commercials.

Having said that, Norman Regional actually makes pretty good ones. And Midwest Regional has one good one - where the boy talks about how dad was cooking and used something "WAAAY past the expiration date. and now he's only allowed to cook cereal." Outside of those, NOPE.

The Fowler guy, whose name I forget. Cannot stand any commercial he is in.

I ADORE the Midwest City Regional kiddo. He shills that story like an old pro

Mr. Sprigg's is the best/worst.

Too bad the rest of the MWC Regional commercials are typical hospital fare. Using kids in them doesn't help. In fact, ugh. I'd rather have generic hospital dreariness.

edmond hyundai commercials are THE WORST

At The Beach commercials. There are several varieties, one with a guy trying (and failing) to sound like Arnold Schwartzenegger, and one with a girl trying to sound like ... well ... I have no idea. Not many commercials make me dive for the mute button, but this is one of them.

Oh man...I need a stack of those foam bricks made for throwing at the TV just for when those At the Beach commercials come on.

Also...To throw at the unsuspecting mailman. He's evil and deserves a good scare.

Dog toys work well - at least the plush variety works. We're constantly lobbing "baseballs" at Edmond Hyundai. After grabbing for the mute button, of course. At the Beach is a good one too.

1 - Mathis Brothers - why do they use that kid as a prop?
2 - Wava
3 - That bug-eyed guy
4 - Any personal injury lawyer or bail bond commercial

Will Ferrell likes it - From Funny or Die: Usually even a good commercial makes me think "Yeah, right. Of course you're saying that. You wanna sell your thing." This video makes me want to move to Oklahoma and eat Mr. Spriggs for breakfast, lunch, dinner and Taco Bell fourth meal. Enjoy the joy.

Will Ferrell's Picks (http://www.funnyordie.com/will_ferrell/picks) (about half way down)... Funny stuff... big time stars are even making fun of it...

What is up with this Marquis furniture ad? Shouldn't that be pronounced "Mar Kee" instead of "Mar kwis"? With this guy's hick accent, it sounds like we are not very refined :).

i'm sure if it's their last name they can pronounce it any way they want

Sort of like pronouncing Miami like Miamuh? I was told that Miami, Oklahoma is named after a tribe. I am not sure how acurate that is.

I agree with the At The Beach commercials being annoying. I also hate that ad by some local attorney that looks like a used car salesman and says something to the effect "Hire us and nobody will take advantage of you, AND I MEAN NO ONE!"

affordable furniture, for some reason, the little girl has lack of expressions, or looks like she is being forced to to say lines, it bugs me to much.

"where the working women shop"......that line always makes me laugh considering they are/were (since it burned down) next to an adult nightclub.

They closing down now. "to go fishing"

when my sister came down to visit, she laughed at this one furniture commercial, for hooker furniture. She was laughing saying she wants to go see what a good hooker bed looks like. Does anyone else know what im talking about, they still play a commerical for hooker furniture every now and then. I can just see it now, telling my friends common over and look at my new hooker furniture!

For me, it's currently the Edmond Hyundai commercials with Randy Colton chanting "Edmund Hyundai" ad nauseum. I like Randy; he's got a killer sense of humor, but sometimes he jumps the shark. I have muted that commercial for weeks.

I kinda like the "Toad Rage" ones though, it's creative if nothing else.

How about "let my daddy build your home."

How about "let my daddy build your home."


DEAD RIGHT!!!!....but The old Systems Plus commercial is close...

For me, it's currently the Edmond Hyundai commercials with Randy Colton chanting "Edmund Hyundai" ad nauseum.

Ugh. How could I forget that one (blocked it out maybe?) That one pollutes the radio waves too.

Hi torture time again...
Allan Merrill Chevrolet route 66 Yukon.


What about all the obnoxious Mike Munday spots with all the yelling, same sound effects and scripts.


Thats it TRUST HOUSE JEWELERS.
Augggh I see them now in my mind.


Every Integris Health commercial .

Funny how bad some of these commercials were and yet we remember them.
The "torture time" ads were my dads favorite.
I have and always will boycott buisness' that use Mike Monday.
Trust House Jewlers ....I'd forgotten about those.
Integris health..."I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had." WTF??? Now Im depressed.
At the Beach....Give me some foam bricks to throw at the tv when this one comes on too. How many people can they insult in one ad?
Tall Paul.....classic.

I know this isnt local but not worthy of its own thread either. Enzyete...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqffNjcxMDgTry explaining what the women are whispering to each other (about santa)to a small child. "Chuuby Santa" & "the joy of the gift that keeps on giving" :ohno: Smilin Bob creeps me out bigtime, and those must be some lonely women.

why do people insist on having their kids in the commercial? The Sooner Copy Machines - every Sunday without fail and several times during the morning. That girl's voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard and the little boy looks ridiculous.

Integris health..."I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had." WTF??? Now Im depressed.


I find that particular commercial hard to watch because it hits too close to home. I don't know if any of you are American Idol fans, but one of the contestants sang "Mad World" in last week's round.

"Mad World" needs to go away forever. Great song, but it's been whored out so many times since Donnie Darko it's not even funny.

INTEGRIS has always been known for producing tear jerk commercials. I know the one about Ford Humpreys and the cochlear implants put many parents I know in tears with the line "Ford heard his father's voice for the first time."

raises hand, more than once.

That sounds like Brad McRae, former owner of Big Red Sports & Imports. He's now doing commercials for Fowler Dodge, and his style is very much the same.

Geeze, I can't $&*@ing stand those obnoxious Fowler Dodge commercials. It seems like every Dodge dealer has annoying advertising for some odd reason....David Stanley Dodge has somewhat annoying ads too, but not so much as Fowler Dodge. Hopefully they'll put Chrysler out of its misery soon, and we won't have to put up with these ads anymore. ;)

I know this thread is supposed to be about the worst commercials, but is anyone else enjoying this latest round of AT&T commercials with Bill Kurtis? I love the "in your face" attitude that Bill gives Andy Roddick and Floyd Mayweather. Nice twist! LOL

what about wheelers meat market ( quality is one thing we wont cut at wheelers meat market) thats a good saying or a bad saying? I like good quality cut meats myself. so what do they cut if they dont cut quality meat? hmmmm

The Richardsons are probably a really nice family. So I don't want this to sound like an attack, but damn......their new commercial is just weird. Its animated and goes something like this

Animated little girl: "Let our family build your families home"

then music and a (song?)

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la

All this while watching an animated commercial that makes me think someone slipped a hit of acid in my tea. Theres dancing flowers, a melting jello looking house and lots of :k-bunny: :k-bunny: :k-bunny: :k-bunny: :k-bunny:

Bunnies

LOL!!!!! Westside - I wondered how long it would take for the "new" Richardson format to make it on her!!!! You nailed the description of it perfectly....

I agree with all of the above. I would never buy a car from Edmond Hyundai just for the sheer hatred of his commercials. I want to punch that guy. Quit making your own commercials!!!

I also would never walk into an At The Beach.

My new favorite to hate is that commercial for Visa where the Dad takes his kids to the aquarium and the song Tuesday Afternoon is playing. I'm thinking dad taking LSD before calling into work to take the kids to look at fish probably isn't the best commercial to promote using your Visa.

Hahaha, I just stumbed on this thread.
Edmond hundai edmond hundai edmond hundai! Makes me want to go wash me ears out with a shotgun.

And on the radio, "It can only be Jarreds." OMG I almost ran my car in the ditch trying to hit mute on that one before.

Do you bundle? For shundle! Ack!

I love the BC Clarks christmas tho. Lets you know Xmas is here. Most sales are after Christmas, but Clarks is just before.....

David Garret law firm is awful.
So is 2 sell homes. Scammers.....

Anyone yelling the whole commercial gets the mute thrown at them, Billy Mays esp...

It was nice to get confirmation that Vince was a criminal..... beat up a whore's face for biting his tongue. She was probably sick of hearing him on her TV and was trying to do everyone a favor....

Are you in good hands? Allstate good hands. Boy, I'd like to punch that dude in the neck.

Any aflac duck quacking geiko gecko having idiocy has to go too.... stupid.

I've decided I can't stand any commercial that jigsaws together a bunch of different people singing the jingle so it ends up in a long line of one jingle. Edmond Hyundai was doing it for a while (and made me grateful for the idiot in the club to come back), and BC Clark has a version or two. Ugh. And while Subway isn't exactly a local commercial, they're doing it too and I'm about ready to tear my hair out.

My vote goes to either of the same two MidFirst commercials that aired on every Thunder break for four months straight

> the "new" Richardson format

I'm certain they are very nice people, but if they were to go kick their ad folks, hard, I'd consider helping 'foot' their legal expenses.

Oh, and ALL of the Firelake Casino ones....especially the construction worker who is daydreaming of being at a concert, and ends up with his arm around one of the workers -Dudes' like, man, what are you doing? lol then there is Betty who is having her hair "did" underneath the dryer - having a Sr. moment and pulling a slot machine arm.....

Those commercials give me a fever............

I can't stand the Falcone's commercials.
And I can't say any of the casino commercials are good.
Also, the local network promos..."We'll keep you ahead of the storm"...

those make me think I could have aced majoring in advertising.

I agree with the BC Clark comments. I wish they would go back to jingle without piecing together a bunch of annoying people singing it. I moved away for awhile and I was really homesick. I was driving into town for the holidays and that jingle came on...aaah I was home.

My vote goes to either of the same two MidFirst commercials that aired on every Thunder break for four months straight

For some reason I think that red-headed chick is really hot.

This is by no means a local commercial but its so disturbing I thought I'd throw it out there......since I couldn't find a worst national commercial. This has got to scare the snot outta lil kids. Personally I laugh everytime I see it after watching my sister cringe in horror while watching it. Notice how all the forrest creatures still have tire marks on them after they get up.

YouTube - The Michelin Man helps motorists stop shorter TV Commercial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9790DOWUP5o)

The Integris and St. Anthony commercials are creepy and depressing. I do not like the Mathis Brothers commercials with the kids or the dog. The Marco Palumbo Lawyer commercial is stupid. I liked Daniels and Conways commercials, I thought they were creative and funny. Anyone remember the Brown(e) Furniture commercials from Shawnee. I always thought the spokesperson was going to fall asleep before the commerical was over. The Spencer Daniels clothing commercials have become better than when they first started. Anyone remember "Sonic. Best eatin in town, up and down, all around"? I used to love Alan Merril's commercials. I can do a good imitation of him. I use to watch Trust House Theater. She used to talk about her big mamous or something like that. Remember the cowboy that used to do the Credit Jewelry commercials? He started out advertising Cronkite Beef.

I have a question related to Amy McKree from Channel 9. Was she on a Tan & Tone America commercial in a Bikini when she first came back to Oklahoma City from Amarillo? I remember when she first went on Channel 9 there was a Tan & Tone commercial with a blonde in a bikini that looked a lot like her. I know about the famous pink bikini picture by the river that is on the web, but I have always wondered if that was her on the commercial.
