Saddest Television Commercial Ever

[MrBenchley]

Adam West for the internet access scam....it's such a cheesy, obvious ripoff, and West looks (and sounds) drunk as a skunk.

[GCP]

1. Yes, he does sound bad

I don't know if he's doing it deliberately as a joke, or whether he is drunk as a skunk.

[MrBenchley]

3. Sure wish we had one of these in the cave...

What a sorry end to a career...

2. I saw a sad-ass WalMart commercial recently

talking about how Wally-world supports the troops and all that. How do they demonstrate this? By showing a god-damned WAR VETERAN WORKING AT WAL MART!!!!!!

:puke:

[MrBenchley]

4. All of Wal-Mart's commercials are sad...

They were running one with a woman talking about what a great place it was to work....utter horseshit, as the headlines show....

10. Waving their American

flags (Made in China)...:eyes:

[arcane1]

12. exactly

but that's ok, sending our jobs and millions of our dollars to China. But Clinton, boy, he was like, nice to China and stuff, thus he is a traitor :eyes:

[On the Road]

5. Bob Peck Chevrolet in Arlington, Virginia

He used to film commercials showing himself juggling three balls. Not very well, either.

[Richardo]

6. Maybe when "Family Guy" goes back into production

...he'll get his job back as Mayor West.

[CO Liberal]

7. "Ah'm George Dubya Bush, An' I Approve This Message...."

That line appears on some of the saddest commercials of all time.....

[MrBenchley]

8. You got me there...

VBG!

9. Iron Eyes Cody

put tears in my eyes in the 60s...

[devilgrrl]

11. I agree. Sadly "Iron Eyes Cody"...

didn't have a drop of Native American blood - he was Italian/American.

Even so, that was a great ad campaign.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Although Iron Eyes was not born an Indian,

...he lived his adult years as one. He pledged his life to Native American causes, married an Indian woman (Bertha Parker), adopted two Indian boys (Robert and Arthur), and seldom left home without his beaded moccasins, buckskin jacket and braided wig. His was not a short-lived masquerade nor one that was donned and doffed whenever expedient -- he maintained his fiction throughout his life and steadfastly denied rumors that he was not an Indian, even after his half-sister surfaced to tell the story in 1996 and to provide pointers to the whereabouts of his birth certificate and other family documents.

Cody died on 5 January 1999 at the age of 94.
