i hate the "truth" commercials about smoking. and also the ones about marijuana impairing your judgment and shit especially the one where the guy shoots his friend. he didnt shoot him because he was high he shot him cause he was stupid.

Better Dead Than Red
Those awful AT&T ads starring Carrot Top.
By Rob Walker
Posted Monday, May 5, 2003, at 7:54 AM PT



Something like a year ago, maybe longer than that, readers started e-mailing me demanding to know why AT&T's collect-call business had chosen Carrot Top as a spokesman. Their distaste for the zany prop comic was palpable, and I shared it. But oh, I thought, what the readers don't know is that by the time I write the thing, AT&T will have wised up and sent Top packing. I was wrong. Just the other night I saw what must be the 20th AT&T Carrot Top ad. In a move of questionable value to the commercial-watching public, AT&T has actually collected a bunch of these spots online.

The one I saw the other night is called "Race Top," and it's as good an example as any. The setup is a scene like the famous drag race in Rebel Without a Cause, but one of the drivers is Carrot Top. When the other car peels out, he just sits there and says to the girl who started the race: "Hey. C'mere. Need to make a collect call?" Then he gives the spiel that's in every one of these ads: "Just dial down the center! C-A-L-L-A-T-T ! It's free for you, and cheap for them!" Then he suggests that since the other driver is gone, she ought to jump into his car. This is the basic formula: a very, very slight joke squeezed in before and after the sales pitch. In another ad, Top is on a date at a fancy restaurant

Aaah, is that the one where that little blonde kid is scared as hell of him and kinda runs away? I can't understand a single word that Shaq says in that one.

More for my list.

1) Closet World
2) The Bass Ale commercial with that "Get the hell out of Nebraska" guy
3) The infomercial with "Chef Tony" selling knives
4) The infomercial with that little old redhead troll lady that makes the roast with Coca Cola in that big pot.
