Hands up if think this commercial was envisioned the night before it
was shot. (If your hand isn’t up, YOU
should be shot!!!) You own an auto lot named “Apple Auto Sales”, yet you choose to be a “Reverend” of ALL THINGS???
Really, a Reverend? (Yes a Reverend!)That’s
like owning a Clothing Store named “Jane’s
Boutique” with a “Clown” offering
50% off of all items. (Now that’s a SALE!) Speaking of “Clown”,
listen to the Reverend’s catch phrase: “Stick
it to the Man.” Mind you: This is not a man with an Afro or a Peace T-Shirt
from the 60’s, this is a Reverend. (A
REVEREND!!!) Someone who is supposed to be “One with God” is “Sticking
it to the Man”. (Umm, Creepy.)
Go back to 0:06 and tell me what you see? (Answer: Horrible Role-Playing!!!) There’s a man, whom I’ve named
James, being denying by a man, whom I’ve named “The Man”, for Credit Approval
on the car he wants, yet both men are smiling like it’s a big joke. Shouldn’t
James be disappointed and “The Man” be
“The Man”? (Apparently Not.) Fast-Forward to 0:12, you’ll see what looks to be
a beat-up Oldsmobile that James “Qualifies
For”. (Umm, that’s on your lot???)
That car looks like it hasn’t been started in 20 YEARS, yet “The Man”
expects James to buy this??? (GET REAL!!!)
Back to Auto Reverend, let’s take a CLOSER LOOK at his outfit. (Kale’s
Next Fashion Sin!) He’s wearing a 1980’s dress suit decorated with gold
fish scales and an OVERSIZED ELVIS WIG!!! (The suit is bad enough, BUT WHY
THE WIG??!!) To me, the Reverend’s
wig looks like a diving board. Watch the video again and you’ll notice that as
the Reverend walks around “Sticking It to
the Man”, his wig bounces up and down. Oh and let’s not forget the pool floater
he’s using to “Stick It to the Man”;
is that thing supposed to convince me that you’re someone serious or does it TELL ME you’re just a circus act for
kids? (Answer: Ringling Bros is hiring.) Hey
Reverend, instead of “Sticking It to the
Man” maybe you should “Stick” to
a different gimmick, like selling cars. (Bing!)
