Stupid Commercials......

cpayne5 · 08-23-2004, 05:12 PM

Has anybody else seen the dumb Easterns Automotive commercials featuring Carmelo Anthony, LaVar Arrington, Clinton Portis, Laveranues Coles, and others? The song was stupid enough, now they've got the athletes making fools of themselves by doing a poor job of lipsinking and looking goofy. It's strange to see all these big name stars in such a poorly done commercial. Just interested to see what others who have seen the commercials think.

so long as it doesn't distract from their day job

Yeah neither have I. What channel did you see them on?

As much as I hate the song they have on the radio commercial...it has kinda grown on me. At eastern motors, your jobs your credit....fords, hondas, chevy's, beemers, and minivans

I can't remember what station I saw it on, but here's a link to the song.

Listen to that song and imagine the people I listed up there lipsinking and bopping their head along with the beat, while sitting still in a car.

It's just so cheesy.

Gmanc711 · 08-23-2004, 06:15 PM

LOL! I kinda like the song.

The commercial is so poor. The qualities takes me back to the 70's! I wasn't alive then, but I've seen reruns. It's absolutely horrible.

saden1 · 08-23-2004, 06:57 PM

lol...they are using the "sexy lady riddim." Any company that has "your job is your credit" in it's advertisement isn't worth buying from.

That Guy · 08-23-2004, 07:18 PM

damn, i kinda want to see that now...
-most sports stars aren't great tv actors though, thats not their job... mcnabb and ray-ray do alright though

as a counter example, remember those ramsey papjohn's commercials during the pregames last year? he was stiff as a board and just as exciting... it was almost as much fun as watching lavar on that stupid espn trivia game (which was so awesome/annoying that i can't even remember its name).

That Guy · 08-23-2004, 07:20 PM

that song is awful

SKINSnCANES · 08-23-2004, 08:18 PM

I do like the commercial where Manning is leading a band with Strahan and some other people, lol.

That song is funny.

haha, what about flea flicker

illdefined · 08-23-2004, 08:47 PM

i love that NFL commercial and i think Flea Flicker would be an AWESOME name for a football band.

i also love the commercial with Portis and co. supporting their fantasy teams. then Peyton Manning holding up that gumball machine trophy saying thats what he plays for. funny stuff, he's a real good sport.
