Back in the old days when we only had one forum, Issachar posted a rant about how much he hates loud, obnoxious, shouting car dealership commercials. Now, every time I hear one of these ads on the radio (which is nearly a daily occurence) I think of that rant and once again agree with it.
Well, yesterday, I heard my first "self-aware" loud obnoxious car dealership commercial ever.
I was on my way home from work at the end of the day, and in a bit of a bad mood because of traffic, but this commercial made me laugh. It started out as a normal-sounding commercial, and the announcer said something like, "You know how all those other guys have loud, obnoxious commercials full of explosions? Well, do we *have* to do it that way?" Then there was an EXPLOSION, BOOM! and the announcer goes "OOOOWWW!!!"
He then says, "Okay, I gues we do," and then went into the usual shouting, loud obnoxious WE-HAVE-THE-LOWEST-PRICES-EVAR schpiel, but everytime there was an explosion, he'd stop and go "OOOWW!!!"
It was hilarious. Didn't make me want to buy a car, but at least it brightened up my day.
