Welcome to the forum.

Yeah I agree that those types of commercials are rather annoying. I guess the viewers are supposed to be impressed because of a guy in a cheap suit with a fancy accent, like he's real distinguished and has class and that will make you want to buy jewelry from them.

My (least) favorite is the one with the surfer dudes who apparently took AP calculus in high school.

How about the great San Diego refrigerator round up? It's the commercial about recycling refrigerators, and the guy dressed as a cowboy is on a horse and chases refrigerators with a rope. It's old and tired already.

That advert is, without a doubt, the best piece of television ever made.

You sir, are a jerk for not liking it, and your insolence for insulting it can only be described as shocking and downright stupid.

I haven't lived in the San Diego area since 2004, but I still can't get "Mossy Nissan moves you.." out of my head. That was drilled into my head for 25 years. I also find myself humming "Go to Alba...Honda" from my youth (when it was in Encinitas) every time I drive by a Honda motorcycle dealership.

Welcome to the forum, I knew the actor of that horrible and tired commercial would find his way here sooner or later.

Hey, I'll admit the commercial was decent the first few times I saw it, but after seeing it a million times it deserves the criticism.
