Tasteful. Subtle. Classy. Elegant. The Credit Pimp

A commenter on this article reminded me not to forget about the Credit Pimp of Chicago’s own rival in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia.

Unlike the old man who just walks the walk, the Credit Pimp of Philly actually uses the ‘p’ word to describe what he will do to your credit. No, he won’t smack it for withholding money from turning tricks, he’ll spend the amount a normal person would put away for a down payment on a house, and instead put it towards 3 flat screen LCD HD TVs in the backseat of your credit, along with a sub woofer that can vibrate the lumps out of mashed potatoes.

At the time we thought he had all the answers

How does ‘Big Daddy’ of Lincoln Car Insurance in Chicago get all the ladies? This commercial for the company explains some of the mystery. The rest, we assume, has something to do with a great and powerful sorcerer.

This is like a masters course in bad commercial making. There are things in here so bad the layman just wouldn’t think of it. ‘When you cut to him, he has joke spring glasses on and a sound effect plays? I never would have thought to do something that stupid! Truly this is the work of a master.’

Oh and let’s not forget that the mock-pimp getup makes him look totally racist. If his rates are as low as he says I guess we can forgive him.

I can’t bear to see Jack Nicholson like this

This awful commercial comes to us today via the Consumerist, featuring a young Linda Soundtrak who no doubt looks like Moses’ mum present day.

These three commercials are from 1986, and have all the production values of an Electric Company skit. Watch for Linda staring towards the camera / director for her cue to sit back up in bed.

Never ask me about my car business!

This blank template ad for local Stamford-area Toyota dealerships parodies the Godfather, staring ‘Don CarLoanie’ as the car salesman.

I found this on the YouTube acting reel of Frankie J. Mosca, where there is another local dealership ad. This one isn’t quite as noteworthy for campiness, though the ending begs the question as to whether or not it’s a spoof of this Geico caveman commercial’s classic line: ‘What’s that supposed to mean?’.
