Just Because: AFC North Advertising

Wow, those ads are awful.

Gotta give credit to Bernie. For as famous and beloved as he was here, I think the only ad he ever did was some really low-budget radio spot for a heating/air-conditioning place, which may have been owned by one of his blue-collar buddies. I don’t remember league MVP Brian Sipe doing any commercials either.

On the other and, even before he took a single snap, Tim Couch’s mug was plastered all over every National City Bank branch in NEO.

brady quinn was doing commercials for ems supplements prior to even taking a professional snap. i guess they were banking on quinn being a breakout star… must be why they don’t use him anymore

“Now I’m Done.” may be the best/cheesiest I’ve ever seen.

That said, Troy Pololomaauamlmauamla’s ad here is just atrocious.

Can’t wait to see Roy Maluaguluulgaegoonegaoola’s bail-bond ad.

Well played, Tron. That earned a laugh that garnished unwanted attention from co-workers.

“Now I’m done” is a standard sound-bite on Rome’s radio show.

PD reporting Quinn’s the starter…possible source TO’s twitter feed. Insert grain of salt.

Who remembers the MDP…..Michael Dean Perry Burger!
Yummmm….

I think DA should do a spot with the “My name is Mark” guy.

“My name is Mark, and you can count on it”. No one can make me laugh while feeling incredibly creeped out all at the same time.

The MDP burger was my all time 2nd favorite, behind the McRib.

Bernie does Georgio’s Pizza. He has “The #19 Special”. Some kind of chicken ranch bacon disaster of a pizza. Well, he did last year. They still have the cardboard cut-out in the pizza shop. I’m tempted to steal it every time I’m in there.

So Robo’s a pretty effective pitchman then.
