His original dealership was in Watertown, up near the army base, I think. I had no idea he branched out that far. His commercials are legendary up there.
The annoying radio ad car salesman near where I live really isn't that bad, except his most recent commercial was a st. patrick's day commercial and his irish accent was terrible. I can only assume he's the actual owner because voice talent would not get paid for how bad it is. He accidentally slips into a different fake accent for at least a quarter of the commercial. I'm patiently awaiting its replacement.
Yes that's him. The huge guy. He is here in the Tampa area with his Huge commercials. II guess it's Kia he is selling, not Nissan. He is offering free cruises and a $1000 if people buy a Kia from him. He does some commercials with a Spanish woman screaming in Spanish. Or he has someone named Caroline that is part of the add. These are on over and over. I mute the TV when it's on.
I don't have tv so the commercials don't bother me. I have met Billy Fucillo (Mr Huge) and he's actually a very nice and pleasant guy. I was surprised too.
A lot of the time it is the owner, and it's intentional. The message they are giving is that they're not spending money on advertising so you don't overpay when you go to buy the car.
The annoying nature of the commercials wasn't really the focus of the thread, or of any real concern. What I was genuinely curious about is whether or not these are actual owners who are part businessman, part flamboyant showman (kind of like one of the current Presidential contenders), or just paid pitchmen who pose as the owner, like the Crazy Eddie example that Blue Biker gives.
The song is annoying, and it's also somewhat of a scam:
Not to mention it is supposed to be an organization to help kids yet they spell one of the most common words wrong! This has bothered me for nearly a decade now (or more?).
Around here the smaller dealerships have the owners doing their own commercials. The larger ones seem to use a marketing firm. You can tell the owners because they are overly macho men with deep, almost steroid influenced voices. They appear to be ex football player types.
I wasn't aware of the religious nature of Kars4Kids, it seems that should be disclosed (in the fast speech/fine print portion of the ad).
