Am I the only one creeped out by Jimmy Dean Sausage Commercials?
You want CREEPY, this is CREEPY: Progressive Insurance MO-TOR.
If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

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?"

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.

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.

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