You've clearly never lived in a market with the "Perkesey Girl" who advertised for the Courtesy chain of car dealers. Vegas residents will recall her with a shudder.
 
Ya, the point of advertising is that people remember. And guess what, You remember him and his cheezy spiel. That is the point. I might forget a name, but I remember the product. Good and effective advertising. There use to be another huckster on tv named Ron Poleil, who sold hula hoops and all sorts of cheap junk. He was a character who was like a carnival barker, but he was highly sucessful. This is capitalism, god love 'em.

I just wish someone would let me know there is no aud in the word water...Another one that slays me me is the guy who advertises for all these medicare supplement plans he can't pronounce eight hundred he says eight hunred.
 
We had a guy here named Tom Petereson. Had a furniture store. He also had a flat top haircut. Used to do promotions where they'd give you a flat top cut for free if you came down to the store. He had one commercial that ran late nights. It started out with him "knocking" on the inside of your screen. Then he'd yell, "Wake up! Wake up!". More than a couple of times that woke me up in the chair and got me to go to bed. Never got me to buy his furniture though.
 
Mattress Mac is up there with the MOST obnoxious people. He says "gallery furniture will save you money...TODAY". All the while shaking shaking a fist full of money at the camera.
 
At least he doesn't play that stupid, get stuck in your head, My Pillow jingle. Drives me crazy.
