You want CREEPY, this is CREEPY: Progressive Insurance MO-TOR.

If the gentleman sent that video to the company, they will not regard it due to his filthy mouth and taking the Lords name in vain like that. You blew your character and credibility with that garbage. IMHO. Where's the soap?

The Jimmy Dean commercials don't bother me at least not any more than any other commercials.

Not creepy but I always thought the commercials with Fred Astaire dancing around with a vacuum cleaner were the worst about disrespecting the deceased's memory. I guess the heirs to his estate needed money.

Mr. Dean lived in Richmond VA for many years. A story is told where he discharged a weapon at someone on his property. This may be from an incident in Broward County some years ago. I can find no corroborating evidence.

I think this thread deserves its rightful place in "What's Your Deal?"

I'll bet you're the life of the party at social gatherings.

It's a bit odd, yeah.

Yeah. And the worst one is when he admits that sometimes he wishes he had legs, but would still be half m/c, half man. I cannot even imagine how that would work.

Looks as if "Mo-tor" is half Triumph T-100.

it's all Goooooooooooooooooooooooooood!

Jimmy Deans not dead. I see him still selling sausage on the TV. The end.

Not the way I'd go with advertising, but it doesn't creep me out. There's probably a good number of people that don't know he's dead and if the ads are productive... well okay then.

I get more creeped out by Joe Namath trying to convince me he actually gives a shit about medicare benefits.

Yeah. He looks and sounds cadaverous.

I keep wondering how long was the mic cord when they recorded these ads.

The KFC ads are the creepy ones IMHO.
Jimmy is all good.
