The greatest bad commercial I've ever seen was during a basketball game on MSG, for a used car dealer. Crazy Teddy was his name, and 'Crazy Teddy ain't freakin' kiddin' around' was his tagline, snarled in the most stereotypical, aggressive Jersey accent you can imagine. He was like the world-weary offspring of the Shamwow guy and James Gandolfini. For three years, I've scoured the Internet to find the video, and for three years I've been denied the simple pleasure of hearing Crazy Teddy trying to sell me a Chevy in a tone of voice usually heard only by those on the receiving end of 9mms.

Anyone who can find footage of him gets to be mod for a day. Of the Track and Field board, but still.

Does anybody else feel like they have a distinct 'Canadian' accent? I don't mean the a-boot kind, although the white guy sounds like that, but just that toronto type of accent? I swear I can recognize somebody is from here lol.. Living in the US made me realize we talk different..

I really dont think Juicy Fruit did the whole 'lame commercial' on purpose. If a commercial is gonna be lame and crappy, the best way to make it effective is if it's atleast funny -- like, laugh it at kinda funny. The Oliver Jewellery commercial you alluded to, I'm sure they made it lame on purpose -- I chuckle when I watch it. But the Juicy Fruit commercial is just straight up bad acting by everyone in it; I dont see any fault in the script writers really.
Good Lord, the little stoner's got a point.

To make matters worse, if anyone ever needed proof that Canadians say "out" differently than Americans, this commercial is proof positive. That and the Rogers commercial where the guy's sliding his phone and he says "slides in, slides eohht". Haha.

There's a hair on the court was a LEGENDARY commercial. Never talk bad about it! :lol:

But this juicy fruit commercial is just trash. Worst I've ever seen, and that's telling you something considering I've been watching Raptors TV for a while.

The only juicy fruit commercial they should play on tv is with that blonde girl from dancing with the stars.

Am I the only person who actually loved this commercial?

*pounds it...from a very uncomfortable and distant position...Trying to make sure the Juicy fruit wending machine stays in the shot and is not covered by either one of the two brilliant actors.


Man...You were in the ZONE today! You had a game like Chris Bosh!

Pure awesomeness! I couldn't stop laughing!

You're right. In fact, they should make a commercial saying that chewing juicy fruit is like chewing a toddlers **** diaper. Everyone would be aware of that!

I'm guessing you're in marketing.

I don't get why she doesn't cut straight to the net for an easy layup? Instead she forces herself into a midrange jumper which she's clearly not capable of making.

The brand name 'juicy fruit' is listed over 30 times in this thread alone. Not one bad comment about the quality of the product. Brand name awareness and an intact quality image are the result. Effective marketing. You dont have to be in marketing to see that.
