Andy Williams singing "the Most Wonderful Time of Year" I suspect he has been dead for years and an animatronic figure was an easy replacement in his show.

That lawyer in the mornings during the channel 5 news. ?We make them pay? He would be the last guy I ever call. I?m amazed I can?t remember his name, it?s on so much.

Yes, that's it. I'd be embarrassed if I was a lawyer every time that guy came on. He is just bad for the profession besides annoying.

In my case, I remember not to use them if I need that service. But I do remember them.

Yea, I really think that is a major strategy of radio advertising - be as annoying as possible. That's how you get the listener's attention.

But they only really "work" if they spur the person to use the product/service.

there used to be an awful cable spot for the "tire and hubcap store" or something like that. the final tagline was a guy in kooky hat that said "somebody stop the wheel!".
THAT was a classic.

Totally forgot about this one. Definitely makes me change the station EVERY time one of their new mixes hit the radio waves.

Nobody mentions the 80s commercial for Wright Business School?
"Well, no, but I have a BRILLIANT personality!"
Is that thing still running? Seems like it was being ran well into the 2000s.

I still miss the radio spots for Quickies in Lawrence.
"Have you had a Quickie lately? It's time for a Quickie today!"
I never tried one of their burgers, but the ads always made me smile.

Right when Superior Hummer opened they had a commercial they soon pulled that said "If your going to pay for a Hummer make sure it's a Superior Hummer". That was pretty funny.

Maybe Shane Co should partner with an auto repair shop.
