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.
How about the Braylon/Charlie Fry commercial for McDonalds. Now that was some good comedy
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
No Brady Quinn Myoplex ads. “Now I’m done” That was a classic.
Still waiting on the Joe Flacco/Nair commercial for that amazing Unibrow. That is a match made in advertising heaven.
“Now I’m Done.” may be the best/cheesiest I’ve ever seen.
That said, Troy Pololomaauamlmauamla’s ad here is just atrocious.
“Tim Couch’s mug was plastered all over every National City Bank branch in NEO.”
Official bank of the Browns. Last year was Romeo in a pink hat. Not sure who will have honors this year – assuming PNC rolls with it.
Can’t wait to see Roy Maluaguluulgaegoonegaoola’s bail-bond ad.
I had never heard Troy speak before that Head and Shoulders commercial. Needless to say that was NOT the voice I was expecting to hear. Who knew he sounded like such a weiner. Maybe Carson Palmer can eat him.
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.
It sounds like he’s saying “Now I’m Dumb”. Also that Head & Shoulders Ad just looks like everything I want my namesake to mean.
At Easterns Motors, your job’s your credit…
Let Eastern Motors put you in a car today…
PD reporting Quinn’s the starter…possible source TO’s twitter feed. Insert grain of salt.
The TO thing cracks me up. Post coming at 3:30.
Who remembers the MDP…..Michael Dean Perry Burger!
Yummmm….
Braylon’s 5-hour energy spot was pretty bad…
I think DA should do a spot with the “My name is Mark” guy.
“I think DA should do a spot with the “My name is Mark” guy.”
Last Call Cleveland LOVES that guy. Norton Furniture, FTW.
“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.
@15. A McDonald’s Bacon Triple Cheeseburger. In retrospect, just wow.
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.
Oh, and Brian Robiskie is doing radio spots for some car dealer here in town. Can’t think of who off the top of my head.
@22
So Robo’s a pretty effective pitchman then.
Robo also has a commercial for Pizza Pan. Not a very good one, but at least there’s no cheezy catch phrase.
Yea, it’s not very cheesy pizza either. That stuff is crap.
MDP burger was awesome….I devoured those as a teenager, porbably cause I had the munchies and didn’t know or care what that could do to your arteries.
