A little update regarding closing or selling the site.
I listen to the Ticket all day via internet stream. For those of you who spend most of your listening time over the air, you might not know what I am talking about, but for those of you who stream all day long (thanks, MaxFlo!), you know what I am talking about.
There are only about 10-15 commercials that play on the internet stream, so you hear the same ones over and over and over and over and over all day long. For example, there is currently an ad running for The Reverend Horton Heat’s upcoming performance at the Grenada. I have heard this commercial no less than 300 times in the past two weeks.
So, it got me thinking…what are the commercials that have imprinted themselves on you over the Ticket years? What are the commercials that you could have done without? What are your favorites?
These are just a few that come to mind, in no particular order or preference:
- Howie Mandel’s “Boneless Chicken” rant
- Judge Softie
- There used to be one on the internet stream where it had guys yelling at each other while at a Nascar Race. The only reason I really remember this one is because it was 3x louder than the other commercials and I always had to turn my speakers down.
- There was also one commercial on the stream that was a Corby spot, but his voice was slightly sped up and it sounded like Corby Chipmunk.
- I always crack up when the hosts change alliances. Norm has sung the praises of at least three different car dealerships in his tenure, and Gordo changes weekly, it seems like.
- The “Dallas Dodge” yelling guy.
As an aside, can someone please tell Rick Arnett to stop leading off every bumper with “Hello, Golf!”? Maybe just mix in ONE that doesn’t start that way?
What do you guys think? Comment below on the ads that you remember, for better or worse.
UPDATE: There are new commercials on the internet stream that require mention:
- Ralph Strangis talking about his “100 inches” with his wife. What is it about advertisers that makes them think that Males 18-54 want to hear another guy talk about his dick? The innuendo is just sad, and I am ashamed that Ralphie would stoop to that level willingly. At least I don’t have to hear about his power-sucking pleasure dome.
- What gives with the 30 seconds of drums just playing? Are they using that as filler because they don’t have enough spots? It is just weird.
That bitch on the seasonal allergies commercial makes me turn off the radio everytime. Seriously why would anyone with her voice promote allergy relief?? God almighty what a beating.
how about the one for an energy saving spot where the kid asks if his mom will turn on the nightlight and then because of crappy editing you here the kid say nightlight again slightly softer and with a higher pitch. so annoying
In no particular order…
and THIS is how I feel with low testosterone!
Heeyyy Dallas Dodge
The sports business dude
I actually kind of miss the Western Warehouse commecials. But that is only because I haven’t heard them fifty times a day since they went belly up.
But, the worst commecial I have ever heard on the Ticket has to be the Galyan’s chick. That is what they should have been playing to torture people. Give them a thirty minute loop of that screeching hag and they would have been willing to eat pork chops and kiss a rabbi.
Bernis at Mycomputercareer.com can’t be real. That dude sounds like he just got done skinning a raccoon and stirring his possum stew back in the log house. He says 5 years from now he will be making six figures. Somehow he has gone from washing his overalls in the nearby creek to being the countries foremost economic forecaster.
YES!! I’m listening to one of my fav programs, streaming and that annoying Scruff McGruff commercial comes on at every break! I just want to reach through the Internet and and strangle somebody..
If I have to hear that lady cry to the OnStar operator after she locks her keys in the car, I’m going to black out. What a drama queen! Thousands of people lock their keys in the car every day! You are not the only one! Just because you are taking your kid to the doctor, that doesn’t mean you get special treatment. Millions of babies are born every year in this country alone! You are not special so get over it BIATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come to Cooper’s Bar-B-Q, it’s all about the meat, nothin’ beats a big chop…STFU!!!
I prefer my version much better:
“Come to Pooper’s Bar-B-Q, where doo-doo is the meat…”
I can’t stand the Classic BMW commercials where the guy is barely above a whisper… come on man, speak up!
How ’bout the Sante Center for Healing? I feel like he’s talking to me “YOUR addiction may have started out recreational…” I know, I know, I’ll take it easy for Christ’s sake!!
The fifth-of-vodka-before-lunch guy (and ad) is one of the biggest blows.
Speaking of drinking, the Danny/Corby ones for Gentleman Jack/Woodford Reserve…OK, enough already!! Whether you’re a P1, 51, 101, whatever, most of us already know about the past and present fondnesses of the 2 of them to go out and have more than a sip. Umm, we also know that neither would stop what they’re drinking long enough to fight over it!! Duh, they’d just get their drink on! Their on-air stories (including the recent St. Pat’s o’ Corby fest) are funny, but the supposed argument over what’s better to drink ended up a beating to me.
“Oh, sweet Jack, sweetjack.com.” Hate it. Change stations or turn down.
On the battlefield there is a saying, i will never visit sweetjack.com because of that commercial.
