In Australia I've seen ads for bananas, avocados, pork, lamb, beef, red meat in general, paid for by the relevant industry group I'm sure there are more commodities that had a widespread advertising campaign that I can't remember

Ghost Leviathan posted:I always found American ads incredibly weird compared to Australian ads. Maybe the latter have more of a lower-budget, bombastic charm to them. And like shamefully catchy jingles and hammy acting. as was pointed out this was a very common ad style until sometime in the last couple decades- this has less to do with an aesthetic shift, and more to do with the fact that huge corporations have been edging smaller businesses out of existence some survive, though, like kansas city's Grass Pad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUQhvgiqsdo slogan is now "High on grass for over fifty years", I think they survived Wal-Mart/Lowes/Home Depot solely on the strength of that joke

Oh god I just remembered this commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUEkOVdUjHc This aired during the day, mind you, which 9 year old me thought was loving hilarious. E: looking it up I must be remembering wrong because it's not long enough ago for me to have been 9. Taeke has a new favorite as of 10:18 on Jul 21, 2022 |

Not sure how long ago that was, presumably while the person was a student.

On the topic of local commercials, can anyone who was in south Texas in the late ‘80s or early ‘90s identify the business which had the “SAVES… YOU… MONEY!!!” ads? Might have been a furniture store, with the guy jumping up and waving fistfuls of dollar bills as he cried out the slogan at the end.

That would be Gallery Furniture in Houston and Mattress Mack is a local treasure. Hes an insane gambler and loves the city and takes care of it as best a business man can. His Harvey relief was great. He opened up his furniture store as a shelter while piece of Joel Osteen closed his church. He still does the commercials too.

I don't even think this was a "local" commercial per se, but I remember this lady's commercials from high school. The aggressive way she says her name always stuck with me, ha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBkeYAW6Nnk (Roni Deutch, tax attorney) I just found a Youtube playlist of over 1,000 local commercials/newscasts from my hometown area in Alabama...I know what I'm doing with my night! So many of these business names sounds familiar. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe96BhhWyF9S2Rzdx8MbmyzkGHj9wbRJh

Harvey was a hurricane that struck the city in 2017. The furniture guy opened the doors and let people whose homes had been destroyed sleep on his showroom mattresses. Notorious piece of poo poo Joel Osteen, in contrast, instructed his hired guns to keep the masses out of his megachurch.

The legendary local commercial of my area is this dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOZ5wGadW-s He appeared in a ton of area commercials for just about every business at one point, but I haven't seen him in years. There were at least two for this venture, which he may have owned. Nothing else he did was anything close to this yikes, but all of his ads were that slightly wacky overly excited vibe.
