Does anyone remember these Furniture Store commercials with some King character in the L.A. area?

I don’t know the name of the store but it was “<Something> King” and combinations of Furniture King/Mattress King/Room King on YouTube aren’t turning up anything.

Basically I remember these commercials airing CONSTANTLY through-out the mid-00’s to early 10’s on my local SoCal Los Angeles based stations, like about once a break. They were your bog standard furniture store commercials but at the end a really bad CGI character dressed like a king would pop-out and go “I am the King!” in a very bad monotone voice. Kind of like the Empire Direct commercials except with even less of a budget.

The reason why I’m asking is nobody I know even remembers these commercials despite the fact they would air once every commercial break when I was watching Dodgers games so they must have had some traction somewhere. Looking for name of store and possibly links to the commercials themselves.

Was Seinfeld’s “I’m the Wiz” commercial inspired by it?

Al Greenwood the Bedspread King? His obituary is here. He made a lot of (terrible) commercials proclaiming "I am the King.

Pretty sure you’re remembering Paul’s TV, featuring Paul Goldberg, the King of Big Screen.

That’s an ad from the early 90s but it ends with his less than enthusiastic claim that he is the king.

Actually, I see now that HRH was named Paul Goldenberg, not Goldberg. I just wanted to make sure I got that straight, not terribly wise to piss off the memory of a king, you know.

When I lived down there, I seem to remember some “Mattress King” who would show up out of nowhere, complete with red robe and crown at the end of the spot.

Damned (thankfully) if I can remember his name…

The Wiz was a real place.

I…did not know that. Thanks. I am surprised they used a real place. Huh.

Well, nobody beats them.

Go to the Wiz and select it. Take it off the rack, if it’s wack, put it back.

This guy’s famous enough the commercial was recreated for Punch Drunk Love.

Not much help, but it might help jog your memory, this one is definitely not it it either.

This isn’t it either--but it was the first I thought of…
:rolleyes:
