Yup, saw the dog bones. Also saw old paperback books and VHS movies. Not surprisingly for that part of London, a body piercing joint and a tattoo joint as well.

My father told me he once saw "CAS Approved" (as opposed to CSA approved) power bars there selling for $2 apiece. I wouldn't want to know how that would stand up to a power surge.

By the way...Bob's Ultimate Meats is also known as BUM for short. YUM-YUM-YUM!

What is this rubbish? Same shit for Kitchener-Waterloo (same gnarly feet; same frosted dog-turd!)

[Simpseatles]

Anyone ever seen advertisements around town for George Georgopoulos the realtor? What about the other realtor Andrew Crook? His motto is "a name that demands honesty!"

[MolsonExport]

George Georgopoulos, plenty of times.


this Guy, however, is farking everywhere:

I often get the K-W ads when I'm on Fanshawe's computer network. At home I get the London ones.

I signed up for a similar "ridiculously huge coupon" service over the summer. I removed myself from the list after two weeks, because almost none of the deals were for products/stores that appealed to me. Under the Volcano was the only one that appealed to me but the deals were always on days I couldn't get over there.

I think the popularity of these things came out of the "cool to be frugal" movement that became popular during the recession.

Could be worse though. This photo was used on a billboard downtown for Diesel Training Studios last summer. Haven't seen it since.


Diesel Training Studios

Ben apparently chooses Diesel when he is in London.

^Nothing (but, I mean nothing, mind you) is worse than the BM.

Son, did you mention that there is no payments for two years, including taxes? Dad, that's too much to offer! Son, I'm telling you to do it; only don't tell your mother. OK, Dad.

Teppermans...

I've been recording those ads with my dad since approx. 2003, and we always have a great time doing them. Of course, the ones where I get to blame things on my older brother Andrew are always the most fun! (Sorry, AT!)

It pisses me off how they always air the exact same commercials back-to-back!

First (and forgive me for splitting hairs), they're never the same commercials back-to-back. They're two different spots, written as a pair.

Second, I'm spending money for air time in the hope of catching people's attention. Thanks for the affirmation that its been money well spent.

Hopefully you've been in to check out the new store at 1150 Wharncliffe, near Southdale. We've included one of our Bargain Annex stores at the same location, too! All together we've got 85,000 sqft of showroom space so we're sure to have something for everyone.

[MolsonExport]

Wow, the consummate salesman, that NT is! Why do we never hear from AT in the ads?

Come to think of it, the bargain-annex (i.e., scratch up the side, drawers off runners) does the back-to-back commercials as well. With that dude that laughs like "The Count": AH-HAHAHAHA AH Ha!

"TSC Stores, get a great deal more, at your incredible country hardware store!"

[MolsonExport]

^a lot more than simply tractor supplies (the TS in TSC...the C being company)

Must be the top of One London Place.

[Simpseatles]

"That party, that party...PLACE!" -said in the most obnoxious voice possible.

And is anyone else tired of hearing about "Mommy Makeovers" available at Bluewater Surgery in Sarnia? I hear about them all the time on the radio.

[MolsonExport]

London Ear Clinic.

Listen up, Canada, Turn up the volume on life.

Dr. Brock Rawson and the TMJ clinic.

"my husband suffers from sleep apnea.....had to sleep in separate bedrooms....fitted with an oral appliance....and OUR RELATIONSHIP is much better now, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN."

that party, party, PLACE! IS FUKING HORRIBLE.

Are you ready to be the yummy mummy you know you can be???

At least their commercial is memorable. Of all the commercials we've discussed on here, Crazy Al's is the one business I can't remember what it sells. All I can remember about the commercial is the damn morse code!

Words cannot convey my hatred of this commercial. As fast as possible, the second it comes on, I punch another station on the dash.

Thanks... I think.

Why do we never hear from AT in the ads?

I was going to say it was due to comfort zones, but that's not actually accurate since Andrew is pretty comfortable in front of an audience. It's really due to the fact that I've done a lot more performing over the years. I've done a lot of solo and group musical performing (I played the cello for many years) as well as a ton of public speaking (Optimists stuff) and theatre in gradeschool, highschool and college.

Come to think of it, the bargain-annex (i.e., scratch up the side, drawers off runners) does the back-to-back commercials as well. With that dude that laughs like "The Count": AH-HAHAHAHA AH Ha!

It's true that the Bargain Annex ads are also back to back- but my Jamaican accent wasn't good enough to make the cut for those.

The Bargain Annex isn't all scratch-n-dent stuff, btw. There's always some of that stuff, for sure, but we actually offer a LOT of brand-new furniture in the B.A.
- Some of it is regular in-line inventory with a focus on value price points.
- We've also got some spectacular end-of-line closeouts in there- our buyers are always on the hunt.


I'm sure that was too much information... amiright?
