Missed that one, but I rebember former wrestling star and announcer Paul Bosch (sp?) wearing HUGE earrings in an I.W. Marks commercial in the 70’s. “If I.W. Marks can make my ears look pretty, just think what he can do for hers!”
I hate all jeweler’s commercial. No matter what tactic they use, they always manage to offend.
Osterman’s–The commercial is not so bad the first couple hundred times you hear it but they seem to have an unlimited budget and it is it played literally 3-4 times an hour. I swear it makes me want to drive to the mall and punch the clerk right in the nose. POW–that’s for that fucking song.
Can’t remember who does the one that says “I got a mojo box” but the guy comes out of the store with a trademark box in his hand and walks about 5 miles holding it in his hands like it’s guiding the way or something. Every single woman he passes gazes at him longingly and a couple even lick their lips which everyone knows is code for “I’ll blow you for whatever’s in that box.” All the guys give him a knowing wink and a nod which is code for “Nice, she’ll just have to fuck ya now!”
There are many variations on the theme but the bottom line is “Women are whores. Buy them diamonds and you’ll get laid”.
Gah. My childhood memory always pictures Bum Phillips, but you’re right - it was the wrestling dude. He was wearing a Stetson, wasn’t he?
It’s the US - Chicagoland area.
And I really can’t describe it. It’s really too, too awful. Let’s just say Eagleman and/or Eaglewoman and the resultant eggs that explode out of their butts to simulate “hatching” (so that the chicken can pop out of the egg with the rates and really really REALLY bad actresses can say “Oh - look at those LOW RATES”) are something that I would prefer to never, ever see again.
I love the local GEBCO car insurance commercials. For decades they have featured dancers in tights (think low rent fly girls, or ghetto Solid Gold) dancing to their jingle.
Go Gebco!
Go Gebco!
I live in DC and I swear they just picked up a bunch of neighborhood girls off the sidewalk to do their commercials. Very much homemade, but I always chuckle.
That’s Helzberg Diamonds. I hate those commercials too - they also seem to be saying that buying an overpriced trinket at their store is the only way to get a woman to love you as well, not just give you sex. Jared’s Jewelers ads are also like that, though I must say the jewelry places waited until rather late in the season before inundating us, along with Lexus (seriously, who buys a Lexus as a Christmas gift? Maybe I’m just running in the wrong circles here). I was expecting to be nauseated right around Thanksgiving, but the onslaught didn’t start until a week or two into December.
I’d almost pay cash money to see the ad in the OP, though. I thought only local car dealership ads were that tacky.
[Ron White]Diamonds. Take her breath away.
Diamonds. Render her speechless.
Diamonds. That’ll shut her up.[/Ron White]
On the Tri-State Tollway in Chicago is a billboard of a young girl with lots of jewelry on (multiple rings, pearls around her head, etc). The text reads: “Mom says a diamond can never be too big.”
That’s right. Teach 'em young to be golddiggers…
There is/was a DeBeers/“Diamonds are Forever” billboard in downtown Chicago near the Ogilvie/Northwestern train station, with the slogan reading something like “Imagine the resolutions she’ll make.” My first thought was, “Translation - she’ll definitely have to put out and/or give blowjobs.”

Diamond commercial, man pulls out box, woman opens to find diamond jewelry. She looks pleased, then looks at him. He looks at her, then looks downward. She looks downward, then slowly sinks down towards his beltline while the camera stays put. Cue the tagline: “Diamonds. She’ll pretty much have to.”

I think I’d rather see a new advertisement than the same ad for over 30 years and counting from the jeweler B.C. Clark .
I haven’t lived in Oklahoma for over 20 years and I can still sing their jingle.

Nope. Honk when you drive by Vern Fonk Actually, most of their commercials are bad in good way, or good in a bad way, or something like that.
