So I will start with this.  It screams 1980s and wanting to show off technology and how cool computers, bee bee beep boop bop beep, really are!  SO COOL!  The car does16 computer read out scans per second!  TECHNOLOGY!!!!  Background singers, announcer explaining everything!  Star Wars, SciFi inspired graphics!

Just imagine if we still had ads like this!  Full on 80s rock ballads to go with the ad, how crazy cool!  Look at the image they are representing that Pontiac exudes!  It makes me want to hop into a PONTIAC!  WE BUILD EXCITEMENT!!!!!  *Plays electric guitar riff and slides on knees.*

Last post from me now.  So hopefully you watched the previous Pontiac ad above, at least it had a Firebird in it, which was a fun sporty car....

But now, look at this Pontiac LeMans.  This care does not represent that name well at all, lol.  They play the same hyped up music for a turd economy hatchback.  Very funny how they build it up still.

Those were all extremely corny, and I think I actually remember the Pontiac ads.... I feel old and sad.  But I was really young.  Or maybe I am just nuts and don't remember them. 

So GM seems to have been like the leaders of making cheesy car ads.  I up you one with the Oldsmobile ad here.  They clearly sing, this isn't your fathers car....

GM must had had a special buy 2 themes, get 4 free kind of thing.  Every brand of theirs had a rock theme song.  You can listen to Oldsmobile's here, which the chorus is screaming, "Not your fathers Olds."  Listen here then enjoy this spy themed ad with explosions and tear gas?  Yeah, that is how you sell a car to the younger demo.

Oh my gosh!  These are terrific!  Already I've had more laughs today with this then I expected.  Those are ridiculous. 

Here is one that only some quality folks in the south could produce... some local dealerships.  There are so many bad local tv ads, but hopefully this will make you laugh.  It involves turkey's, guns, and turkey's with guns.  Because screaming in an ad so the mic cracks if a good thing in an ad.

Those car ads were ultimate cheese factor.  The Pontiac ones and the Oldsmobile ones especially made me laugh out loud.  Also... IT'S A CAR.  :D 

The Steven Seagal energy drink isn't real and it was never advertised on tv.  It was a mock thing.

Cheesy and funny.  Vern Fonk Insurance is a local insurance company in the Seattle area, up in Washington, but they are pretty well known for ridiculous commercials.  How about some Back to the Future?

All right... those who have followed me for some time, as you know, are familiar with my fascination-- some might term it an obsession-- for these spots.


It's a local tax prep place here in the Mid-South that got into some trouble a while back for defrauding its customers.  After overhauling its public image, changing its name, and shaking up its management, MMT appears to have dropped completely off the map... taking its ads with it.    :(

These are all pretty good.  I do find the Vern Fonk one very funny and the "it's a car!" one.  Mo Money was a jumbled mess!  Lol!  I barely understood what anyone was saying.
