Does anyone else thing it is a strange and bad idea that "Riverfront Auto Sales" has decided to advertise using "Frankie the Finance Guy" who is made to sound like a characture of the most slippery mafioso ever heard?  While promising credit approval for financing for everyone?

Buffalo radio's version of Tom Carvell's tv pitches.  With all they were saving by not hiring a professional announcer, you would think they would have seen an ear, nose, and throat specialist.

I love local TV/radio ads for small local businesses.

 

You just know the owner is insisting on being in the ad, probably to the protest of the ad agency, b/c the owner is fat and ugly or has an annoying voice or looks creepy/dishonest or whatever...but he's the one paying the bill so on he goes.

 

Many local car dealer TV commercials feature this sort of thing.

I hadn't realized Oswalt also mentioned Carvell! I remember his also being mentioned by Billy Crystal, again, an 'east coast' guy.

Since I'm a night owl and do a lot of my work in the wee hours, that one especially drives me nuts because it's on heavy rotation apparently!
