Drew's, "Creed's here" line kills me every time.

Marfa, Texas



For some reason, probably because I was bored while riding a stationary bike and watching commercials, the “Marfa, Texas” line intrigued me. I figured maybe Kohler was based there? Nope. It’s a tiny little town of less than 2,000. But it is known as a “major center for minimalist art”. So was that ad for a high-concept, minimalist profile toilet filmed in Marfa in the hopes that some super rich person who appreciates minimalist art would see it and say “hells yeah”?

[rass]

Also Marfa is just a funny word. Marfa.

[govmentchedda]

Doesn't Marfa have a stand alone Gucci store too? Like middle of nowhere type artists colony with a random luxury store.

ETA - Prada



Apparently just an art installation.

They shouldn't play TopDogLaw commercials at 6 in the morning.

Or really, ever:

Fuck yeah! Now I'm pumped up to run into the street and get hit by a car so Top Dog Law can make my dreams come true! Whoooooh!

Hey, it could work out.

Those radio spots are outstanding. Saul Goodman couldn't have done better.

[Johnnie]

And that's just a couple of them. Another one (that I can't find) said some shit like "YOU GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. YOUR LEG WAS AMPUTATED. AND NOW TOP DOG GOT YOU YOUR MONEY." or some wild shit like that.

Those commercials bring back a memory. My parents, my father especially, regularly watches afternoon syndicated crap tv shows. Where they live, at that time of day, most commercials seem to be for either pharmaceutical drugs, or personal injury lawyers. My father spends a lot of time mocking those adverts. My brother, coincidentally, is a personal injury lawyer. We were all together there in early January, and my brother started taking my father’s jabs personally, and ended up storming off from their home with a hail of harsh words. As the designated family peacemaker, it took me a few weeks to get everybody copacetic, again.

Those PI lawyers do a valuable service, because they can do those kinds of cases efficiently enough that people with claims less than $200K can find representation.

And they generally don't waste too much time on loser cases, because it's not worth it to them.

Because of where I live I get both the Philly PI lawyers and the Baltimore PI lawyers:

“If you have a pheone, you have a lawyer.”

I'm now pretty sure we're talking about the same thing here.

Speaking of regional, any of the Philadelphia area swampers know where online I can find the radio commercial for a personal injury firm that's a guy who fell at work ... AT WALMART? The family fell in love with it during the trip last month to the point we all stayed in the car at one point to finish it even though we'd already parked.

[HaulCitgo]

If any of you can produce stuff like that you need to call me. Outstanding. Heard that on the airwaves. J Sanders about as great. Someone post that guy. Anyway I am trying and failing to pull that off on the socials. Truly outstanding. The schtick is small cases cause these fucks make nonsense about big cases. Paper bags of money. Big check. Small dick jokes I want your small cases. Call me.

I believe we are in different markets

Did you listen to the YouTube videos a couple posts up? They are very, very distinctive. And seems to be a hip hop radio station centric thing.

[mister d]

I did but they didn’t have the Walmart one I badly want to find.

Driving up 95 I am always taken by "Pond Hockey"....and that I am disappointed it is a lawyer.
as a Baltimoron, Simon, Kirk, Eisenburg, Katzenburg are burned into your mind no matter how many different permutations of them.

Pond Lehocky, and I think we just had a discussion about them. I recently got a call from an internal recruiter from a law firm with billboards all over NJ. Seemed like a decent job and paid well, I just can't work for a firm with billboards. Maybe I'm being snobby about it, but it just leaves such a bad impression on me. At least their billboards are just the founding partner's name and not cheesy personal injury slogans.

[mister d]

Yeah, that drive in/out of Philadelphia on 95 is about as trashy as it gets in the northeast.

[L-Jam3]

"X Gon' Give it to Ya" on an Acura ad. Maybe that should go to the Feeling Old thread.

"X gonna give his family longstanding financial support from the beyond" just doesn't have the same ring.

[DaveInSeattle]

I know it shouldn't, but the "Lets go SportsBar" from the currently running BW3 makes me chuckle every time.

Kills me. Box out!

[Giff]

Fundamentals.

Why do your faces look like that?

[L-Jam3]

Delaware is right. Beck Bennett really goes for it as the bison.

[Shirley]

I think I like the commercial, but I've already seen it so many times I now hate it too.

This.

[Rex]

lol, I really hate that one. Not trying to be a jerk—it’s just not for me, like pretty much every BWW commercial.

What I do like is That’s What March is For. Mostly because of Nantz. How does he nail it in every commercial he’s in?

[The Sybian]

I googled it, made me appreciate not having to watch commercials

[mister d]

Anti-Russell Wilson situation. No matter how rich he gets, he still kinda gets it like a normal person.

[EnochRoot]

The owl making pretend machine noises about the eye-examination equipment being used by the optometrist / tech to evaluate its eyes is pretty freakin hilarious.

…with the exception of how he likes toast.

[Rex]

All right, I’ll go there: these Aniston/Friends themed commercials are funnier than Friends ever was

BWWW. That's why BW3. The third is for Weck. Not sure what that is. Haven't seen the commercial but the food and atmosphere sucks. Carry on.

Weck is the shortened form of Kummelweck roll. There is a Buffalo dish called beef on a weck, which is a roastbeef sandwich with au jus and horseradish on a kemmelweck roll. It's pretty damned good, and not sure why it hasn't spread. The roll has kosher salt and caraway seeds (think rye bread seeds).

[Giff]

It also hasn't been BW3 in years.
