The Aarons commercials with Darrel and Mikey Waltrip spring to mind, too.
I *hate* companies that insist on using their own staff/managers/owners for the commercial.
Tell me about it! I hate those ads. You usually get those kinds of ads from local businesses.
My company produces a lot of corporate videos and I've seen my share of CEO's "acting". it's pretty nauseating!
that crazy nerdy guy
the furniture Bob sells is shit.
As much as I hate the commercials, I've had a Bob's bed since '98 and it's still kicking. It actually very good. Although, the thing with his stuff is, as long as you stay on the expensive end, you'll do ok. He definitely has a lot of 'bargain' stuff that looks like crap (and probably sucks).
With the bedding (at the time) he had like 3 levels of quality and I went with the best, which is probably why I had such a good experience.
There's a local commercial for a ski place where a teenage girl is looking up info on the park and showing her dad what activities they can do. The sound effects of the computer keys are probably from a keyboard used in 1982 and so is the accompanying "beep".
My local radio station annoys the crap out of me because when they go to the news segment, they play this HORRID track in the background of phones ringing, typewriters typing, and people murmuring, to make it sound like the news announcer is in a news room. Ugh! Annoys the crap out of me! It's just as bad as the traffic noise they play behind the traffic reports.
