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.

Was it kind of a sparkly blue bikini? Because if so, I remember that commercial as well and the chick in that commercial was approximately three million times hotter than Amy McRee.

Oh, geez! I'd forgotten about Awwen Mewwiwl and the 40 acres of cars he forgot he had out back.

And now - the "new" Eskimo Joe's commercial.............

what about the car commercial about 10 years ago.

" Norman...oohhhhhhh,..Norman...oohhhhhh,...Norman.. .on the mile of carrrrssssss"

That jingle is forever permeated in my brain. DOH!!!

How are the new Linda Soundtrac commercials coming along for being bad?

Channel 4 has a spot plugging the snow tubing at the Brick. It starts with a series of clips of children screaming. It's ear-splitting, comes on without warning, and is too short to even reach for the mute button.

Two new ones that send me diving for the remote. Again the Richadson homes commercial......now everytime I watch it I concentrate on the mans upper lip that never moves.....botox anyone?

And the new Staples commercial..."WOW, THATS A LOW PRICE".....usually played twice, back to back. Wow thats an annoying commercial.

My vote is for ANY Richardson home commercial. I can't stand them. I'm sure they are nice people, and probably build very lovely homes, but I'd live in a tent before I'd buy one of their houses because I find those commercials so offensive. I basically hate any local commercial that uses the business owners kids. It's just cheezy.

The Richardson Homes commercials are without a doubt the worst things ever to be perpetrated on the good people of Oklahoma City.

I'm not saying I would go so far as to *wish harm* on that ugly, monotone sap and that moonfaced-daughter of his (what the H is *with* that kid, anyway?), but if they were both to, say, come down with some sort of ailment which would leave them with the inability to use their faces or voices to sell their houses on TV, ever again, well, let's just say I wouldn't exactly be shedding any tears.

Without a doubt this is the most rude, hateful, nasty and mean spirited thing that's has ever been posted on OKCTALK.

Do you say these hateful things to minimize your short comings or are you just a total A$$.

I bet your mom and dad are so proud of you.

I agree with RC....

It's one thing not to like there commercials, and I, like others don't like it when children are used to sell a product by their parents (diffee), but to make fun of the little girl is just rude. Real classy Matt!!

Meh. They're using her to sell their crap; she's fair game for ridicule as far as I'm concerned. I get the heebie-jeebies every time I hear the "letouwfamiwybiuwdyouwfamiwy'shome" line, for reals. I wouldn't let her family build my family's anything. Unless it was some sort of device that would block their own commercials from appearing on my TV.

Maybe the kids want to be on tv to be kool? Ever think about that? If I had a parent that do commercials for their business, I'd want to be in them.

:biggrin:.........and then there is Brandon's Here For You.........the little boy, (the son I am assuming), throwing his cuteness in front of the cam....his parents look soooooo proud of him. I'm sure they have the right to be, but it sure seems advertisement in the metro area is being performed by the kids....

I would have to draw the line at Norman Nobody teaching his kid to be a Nobody !

anything with screeching brakes, car horns or sirens.
Danny Williams on the hearing aid commercials
Jack Elliott and Al Eschbach Othello's commercials. I can tell they're just reading off cards and voice tracked it separately and then edited it together. Horrible.

The Oklahoma Lottery is running commercials with school kids thanking the lottery for money for education. I think this is tacky. The kids in the commercials can not even buy lottery tickets. I know school kids benefit from a lot of things adults do, but the lottery commercials are creepy to me.

Bigray in Ok

The newest RH commercial is not that bad people..

The one that drives me crazy is the furniture commercial with the decrepid man that talks....... really......slow. I think it's a Marquis furniture commercial. Not sure though.

It's Brown Furniture. It's terrible. That guy sounds like he's about to die. When I first saw the commercial, I thought he was advertising a funeral home.

One might at least consider that the existence of a physical impediment, whether speech or hearing or otherwise centered, should not preclude folks from living full and normal lives, or from promoting a family business.

Sheesh, next thing you know there will be a multi-page thread focused primarily on who possesses the more attractive appearance amongst female staff at the local tv stations.

:dizzy:

I hear from a source that as a child she had a hearing defect that caused a speech impediment. May not be true, but thats the story.

I don't know if the Platt College commercials are local or not, but they're excruciating, and whoever writes their slogans and the rest of the commercial narrative should be fired and sued. First it was "sound and solid", which sounds like the aftermath of a Taco Bell dinner, now it's that "you will be ready, you will be needed, and you *will* believe."

The culinary arts part of the Platt commercial where the students learn how to use both spices AND ingredients?? Oy...

And anything by Bobbie Burbridge Lane. Her patronizingly moralistic radio segments are nausea inducing.

The Chayse Insurance couple use their daughter and that commercial is great. Been the same since Chayse started airing them several years ago.

Ads that really bother me are any kind that have a bell ("ding!") at the end.
I get the urge to go look in the mirror when I hear that bell and verify that I'm not Pavlovs' dog. Speak about talking down to your audience!

How about anything with a Barry Switzer (or any OU Has been for that matter) Endorsement.

Why do some people hate winners!! (let me guess Aggie or Longhorn).

How about anything with a Barry Switzer (or any OU Has been for that matter) Endorsement.

Barry Switzer came from a childhood of virtually nothing and had less than you could likely imagine, was able to cast off a path that leads most people to the trailer park or prison, totally made himself into one of the most successful college football coaches in history. He also helped his brother, who also had the childhood of nothing to also be a success in life. Barry Switzer most certainly has his faults but he has turned absolutely nothing into lifetime achievment and is far more of a success than you or I will ever be.

Envy and willfull ignorance are truly ugly things.

forgot the business but we saw one last night where there was a big fat harry dude with no shirt breast feeding a baby.

I was half asleep and had to ask the gf if she saw it or I was hullicinating

I think it was for a weight loss place or something

haha, that sounds disturbing.

whats up with the cattleman's commercial i see lately? it's not that the ad is bad, it just seems old. like it was shot it 1988 and they still use it.

The commerical is for Shape Fitness.

It may have been. But if yer wantin' to create a sense of going back in time, not a bad ploy to use the everything old is new again approach

Ok....another one that really gets under my skin.

The Furgeson commercials featuring Donny in the "prices on the greound" play from American Idol....

The worst part about this commercial is that I actually know someone named Donny whos voice is every bit as annoying as the guy on the commercial. Lord help the people who decide to buy a car based on these ads.

Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... Donny .... Chad ... :whiteflag

Not a mega fan of the two guys in the Sonic commericals, but the lass and the guy who play their roles as lil' beauty and the geek still manage to crack me up most of the time.

Sorry to break it to you, but they split up and the geek has since remarried, grown a beard, had a couple kids, and is now driving a minivan:

Ra4JPZz3_Vo

No idea what happened to the "lass." She's probably a crack whore somewhere by now.

And that lasses and laddies is why you should nevah, evah buy a minivan.
How sad.

Bob Mills and those sweater vest. Where in the hell do you find a pink and green vest, let alone where them. How can we do that, ask your saleman. We don't care Mr Mills how you did it. Get a new line.

Just saw one the other day that was really bad. I think its for Life Tel, or something like that. Its the one where they show some goofy looking guy, wearing a sweat band and some Richard Simmons looking shorts. He's dusting his house, and they say "Jim is clean man, and when things are clean, Jim can see things more clearly", as he's smelling his armpits. Nasty. I have no idea what this has to do with phone service, but I just can't stand that commercial.

It never works out when women marry their gay friend who hasn't come out of the closet yet.

That is a pretty weak com. to show a 200.00 chair for 600.00 and tell ya he'll throw in the second one free (what a deal! )

1.) Any local furniture ad: Why do you feel the need to show us a child or your puppy? That doesn't make me want to buy your furniture. If you DO put them in the commercial, make sure they're quiet! There was one not too long ago where the Mathis Brothers brothers were holding a "peeping" baby. Just kept going "PEEP ... peep ... PEEP"

2.) Uptown Thrift. Just ... no...

Two more commercials I'll add to the list that really bug me

#1: The Oklahoma lottery commercial that features the kids telling what the $300,000,000 that the lottery has taken in could provide for the schools. They mention:

75,000 coputers
90,000 swing sets
1.5 million library books
5.4 million basketballs
and
1,500 school buses

I got to thinking that the school buses must be pretty pricey, so I did the math.....here's how those items break down

$4,000 per computer
$3,333 per swing set
$200 per library book
$55.55 per basketball
and
$200,000 per school bus

It's no wonder the schools are running out of money...surely someone should have checked these prices before making the commercial. For comparrison heres another couple of buses I found for less than $200,000

I don't remember the buses being that nice when I went to school!!!!!

#2 Integris sleep disorder commercial

In this commercial the man is having trouble sleeping so he gets up (while his wife i sleeping soundly in the bed) then turns on the lights, eats, turns on the tv, sits on wifes side of the bed, paces around the room then eventually lays down at the foot of the bed forcing the wife to nearly get pushed out of bed.

I don't know about you but to me this looks awfully frickin rude!!! lol Wife should throw a book at him and tell him to sleep on the couch.

Uptown Thrift!!! Jeezus.. I want to shoot myself everytime that commercial comes on.. "WE HAVE THE KEY TO SET YOU FREE!!"

I'm going to smash something if I hear that gay ass Cox Communications song. They spam that **** during every Thunder game and it's annoying as ****!

The lottery commercial is especially annoying when it's played at 6:45 in the morning...definitely in the "nails on chalkboard" category.

It's not a local commercial, but that "NewCarNewCar.com" commercial is ridiculous.

Bargain Betty (if that's local).

yes, that commercial is local. Has anyone else seen the "newcarnewcardotcom" commercials?

is that the one that ends in awful green background and an 'extra in an old revenge of the nerds looking' chap stamping approved, approved, approved?

I dvr so much now I don't tend to see many commercials except when I stop the ff too soon

yes, that commercial is local. Has anyone else seen the "newcarnewcardotcom" commercials?

Ditto on that being annoying Metro.....and I mean BIG TIME annoying.....

The Sooner Copy commercials - not only is the guy a sleaze IRL, I hate any commercial that pimps out the owners kids.

Last time I checked, the little girl was not a prostitute and the owner was not a pimp.

Speaking of, Richardson Homes commercial. Geez, please hire some regular actors.

How about any furniture commercial w/ Johnny Ross flailing his arm around like a windmill!!! or The Richardson Homes commercials-that little girl that sounds like she did 5-6 yrs ago! Have our family build your family's home.LOL

Her voice has matured since then.. still annoying as hell though.

any mathis brothers commercial reminds me of the time back in the early 80s when bill mathis made local headlines by inserting a hamster inside a condom and well,..eventually had to see a doctor to have it removed from inside of him, ahem.

what about the annoying commercials for "Empire Today"? The service that sells carpet and tile for your home and has the old man doing the voiceover announcement with his whispy little way he speaks.

then at the end of the commercial theres that lady singing in her best 1940s-esque tone at the top of her lungs..."call 1-800-588-2300...EMMMPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRREEEEEEE"......

then the old man immediately follows by saying ...."..today"

How about the Rise & Shine Oklahoma commercial with David Payne running across all those stupid fake backgrounds?

Remember the cowboy that used to do the Credit Jewelry commercials?



yeaah, those were annoying, but i still kinda miss them. those were kinda long commercials too. hed be riding his horse and in the background it would play some cheesy song...i think it was "thats what friends are for" by dionne warwick..i dont know.

but hed be talking to you, like you was his long lost friend he aint seen since the shootout at the ponderosa, and the next thing you know hes telling you that anyone can get jewelry regardless if they even have one red cent to their name.

Remember The old Del Rancho commercials? The little kid come thru The doors like he's in a Western and say's- Steak sandwich supreme!

It still runs. Plus, he said "Steak sandwich supweme." It's odd. Not many people put that kid down, but do the girl from Richardson Homes fairly frequently. My how times change... What a shame.
