Am I the only one creeped out by Jimmy Dean Sausage Commercials?
He's been dead for almost 10 years and his commercials, airing routinely today, say words to the effect "I wish I could tell you how good (enter some sausage or similar product) are."
But you can't because you're dead. It's like having Lee Iacocca do Mustang commercials today.
Me or is this just bizarre?

IMO, its just you. He has a great voice to me. No other thoughts. What if it were Frank Sinatra speaking of a Whiskey, or Dean Martin. My .02. sigguy( the 1st).

I used to watch his TV show when I was a kid. He looks and sounds the same. Amazing what modern medicine can do these days.

I just had two pure pork Jimmy Dean sausage patties and eggs for breakfast. Whenever I cook that sausage I can hear him talking from commercials running the year I graduated High School. Also "Big Bad John" pops into my head from time to time.

Whenever I see/hear/read Jimmy Dean sausage I think of this (listen all the way to the end):

Every time I hear one of those, my substitute for the opening line is: Hi, I'm Jimmy Dean and I'm dead.

It is slightly weird, but I am not creeped out.

RBG has been dead for 3 years and that hasn’t stopped her. Why can’t Jimmy sell some sausage?

It seemed a little weird at first, but not creepy. One could say they are a tribute.

I'm with you, he was crazy popular out in my neck of the woods when I was young. Matter of fact, my Mom would tell us kids to shut up when his songs came on the radio. She liked him and Burl Ives too, haha ETA, oh she liked Liitle Jimmy Dickens as well. May the Bird of Paradise Fly up your Nose, LOL

I've never given it a thought. (I'm not sure I knew he was dead.) I like his sausage. I wish our local markets had his plain sausage biscuits in their freezers--they only have the ones with cheese and/or eggs in the large size and I don't eat cheese.)

The Jimmy Dean ones don't but I recall this one did, big time. It was like a reanimated corpse!

I've found the Breakfast Bowl is perfect as a pre-match breakfast. Enough energy to make it to lunch but not so much as to slow you down

Well it's Jimmy Dean talking about Jimmy Dean products. I don't have a problem with it.
