URBAN MEYER IS AN ATROCIOUS SALESMAN
Urban Meyer’s sales skills are among the worst we’ve ever seen in coaching commercials–they’re downright Fulmer-esque, down to the cue-card missile lock of his eyes to the awkward fist pump he employs about halfway into this abortion of an orange juice ad.
The good thing: he’s actually improved from year one. There’s a jewelry store ad lurking somewhere out there that, if it saw the light of day, would make James Lipton jump headfirst off the nearest tall building.

Folks, drinking an OJ because of who does, or does not, endorse it is suspect at least. I for one am not an Urbanator fan. In fact I probably hate his intestines, if the whole truth were known, as much as anybody. That does not alter the fact that the OJ being pimped, if I can say that, is GOOOOOD. In fact, just thinking about that BIG glass of Simply Orange country stand, medium pulp/calcium in the morning is beginning to give me a little ….. anyway, it’s good. Buy some. Now off to watch Sundiata Gaines get his hind end whipped.

You haven’t seen wonderful until you’ve seen Ray Goff as a pitchman.

Dog Brewer did one of the classic vintage “One taste and your’e stuck on Golden Flake!”
I’ll try to youtube it later.

I love Simply Orange. That and Indian River are the only two OJ’s worth drinking. I’m not gonna stop drinking it just cause Urban endorses it; if his hawt wife endorsed it, I’d buy more. Never let my product choices be dictated by commercials or who is in them.

You have got to love SEC coaches commercials. Especially Golden Flake, as per Rich’s post. Ah, the great, hurmph, awful commercials of Pat Dye for Golden Flake.
“Getcha some gouden flake tater chips fer a tiger of a taste.” Or some awful shit like that.
Or Terry Bowden perhaps: “khekgh hgldhfg gdhipwkflw golden flake uowj jopbjr hsiuf”

John Cooper’s hot tub commercial in 1988 was pretty bad.

Anybody remember Curly Hallman’s Yugo commercial? Goes something like this:
“Down in Bayou country you need a Yugo to get around. I got mine at Bertman Yugo. Go get you one and Geaux Tigers.”
I still cringe thinking about that.

Nothing is more awkward than the Bob Knight commercial for a local Lubbock pet joint pain product (which used to air during Dallas-area broadcasts of the Red Raiders’ games).
“Just as joint pain can be a problem for you … and for me … so too can it be a problem for your dog…”
The stiffness of the delivery, plus Bob Knight’s eyebrows, just cannot be topped. I wish I could find video of it. I tried and failed.
