The "Credit Mack Daddy"



Now more than ever, if you flip through the TV channels you’ll see commercial after commercial after commercial. But you haven’t seen anything until you’ve seen the “Credit Mack Daddy” Commercial.

Question: Does he even look like a Credit “Mack Daddy” (LADIES!), or does he look like Warrick Davis from the movie Leprechaun? (Answer: “Where’s Me Gold?”) If you listen closely to this “Credit Mack Daddy”, you’ll find that he is barely on beat for at least half of the commercial. Shootback at 0:20 and tell me did she say, “Quit it Mack Daddy” or “Credit Mack Daddy”…? (Cut Cut Cut, LINE!!!) Well guess what??? It does matter because he is more like a Credit WACK Daddy anyways. (Not trying to “Hate”, I’m just saying.) You’re trying to sell easy credit for potential car buyers and THIS is the only gimmick you could come up with? (You’ve GOT to be kidding!!!) Or I guess I’m “Out of the Haze” or something cause I don’t understand why. But it’s funny how when you think the commercial couldn’t get any worse, at 0:50 the woman yells “It’s as easy as pie!”, then actually pies her husband in the face! (That part was HILAROUS!!!) Was she holding that pie this whole commercial or did it just magical pop from nowhere???

Putting aside all the humor, it’s a good thing that we know what this “Mack Daddy” is trying to sell to begin with: cars with easy credit right? Some commercials have such an “abstract meaning” that it is hard to tell what they are evening selling. (Off Topic.) Imagine if I shot a commercial depicting a man laughing wondering in the Middle of the Mohave Desert wearing a Clown Outfit.  Then towards the end of the commercial I said, “Welcome to Kale’s Closet”. What would you think of Kale’s Closet? (Answer: WTF!!!)

(Back to the Topic.) We need to send this guy back to BGU (or Better Gimmick University) to teach him that going this route with promoting “easy credit” on cars PROBABLY wasn’t a good idea. It was more like a Bad Idea. (Scratch that, it was a REALLY BAD Idea!) I’ll bet when it was all said and done, and the commercial aired, this “Credit Mack Daddy” had TONS of people stopping by wondering, is this where this ridiculous commercial was shot?
