Shot in the Dark

“Five”

“Five Dollar.”

“Five Dollar, Foot Looooooong”.

“Five”.

“Five Dollar.”

“Five Dollar, Foot Looooooong”.

“It’s ca-ca-catching on”.

It’s been going through my head nearly every waking moment of the past ten days.

    That is the most annoying commercial I’ve seen in a LONG while.. because it goes through your head for 10 days at a time.

    Well, at least it’s musical. Those radio ads where they repeat the phone number ad-nausium, THAT is annoying…

    There’s nothing better than a GOOD radio ad… just listen to Mischke. The man’s a genius.

    What about the “all day, all night, everything is all right, get your degree, set yourself free, National Whatever University” that seems to play between the hours of 11pm and 1am in between the various party line/phone sex ads that play during the commercial breaks for “King of the Hill”?

    “Call Four Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight…Pizza Hut Delivery is really great!”

    Ugh.

    Remember the Subway ads with the “sexy gal” singing about subs? I thought it died out years ago.

    I was surprised by its return last year. Boy does that thing look and sound dated.
