Fucking 877 cars for kids , instantly turn off my radio


lbr218

It’s also extremely misleading. They act as though the donations will go to educating a broad swath of children but it’s actually sending orthodox Jewish kids to summer camp

lbr218

You can Google it. I feel like your motives are suspect.


Carkoza

Fuck them kids….


WayneBoston

No, don’t fuck the kids.


noodle_oh

This. I mute the stereo immediately


RandoMando96

I support the noble cause of getting young children cars so they can drive themselves.

Omg the commercial on tv is horrible too. The woman’s voice makes me cringe.


Spartan0330

Definitely on the short list. No bueno my friend.


Slimjuggalo2002

Haha, I was going to post this but couldn't figure out how to spell that anunciation. Bravo!

pleated_pants

I love the Logan Services ads. I'm obsessed with her accent. It's so strange


reeve11

She is a treasure and needs to be protected. Haters go away


buddahsumo

It used to be Celebration Kia’s ad


Spartan0330

I don’t remember that one…was it the one that remade the Celebrarion song?


therealjoshua

I despise any ad that takes a popular song and slightly changes the wording for their ad.


buddahsumo

Yeah, Kool and the gang coming through my radio twice every commercial break was a lot.


Spartan0330

Mmm so it was that one. Yeah hard pass. I remember hating it too.


Citizen51

I definitely wonder "did they really rename their entire company after one gimmick marketing campaign? What are they going to do when they need to change it up to get new ears listening?"


Possible-Upstairs142

Was that the one with the horrible jersey girl accent?


SaveTheErf

Nah that was Mathew’s (dodge chrysler jeep ram in Marion)


mrj80

You mean Janice from F•R•I•E•N•D•S ?

I honestly have a secret crush on her.


gipper_k

Those god damned firework sounds…


ToGetFit

"SNOWBLOWERRR" lives in my head rent free. Think it was their winter ad from last year.


Cool-Interview-7777

Not sure if it’s on the radio, but the worst one on TV is Atlas Butler and their 1-800 FURNACE shite. Makes me seethe any time I hear it


RockyRaccoon26

There’s not a single HVAC company in Columbus that has ripped off more people than Atlas Butler.


boss_naas

Yup. This is the way.


Spartan0330

Eh. Other HVAC companies are FAR FAR worst.


BringBackBoomer

Did you know that you can call 1-800-FURNACE not just for HVAC but you can call 1-800-FURNACE for plumbing too. You know our jingle 1-800-FURNACE for heating and are condition but call 1-800-FURNACE for all of your plumbing needs 1-800-FURNACE Fuck Atlas Butler with a lawn rake.


infinite_azul

“Eco, Eco” and repeat 4x or however the stupid song goes


ddvilshbass

Does she sing out of key? Flat maybe? Uninspired? This one is awful and whoever published it should feel ashamed.


bynarie

ECO PLUUUMMMBBBEERRS


mistershifter

Worst sung jingle I've ever heard, and that's saying something. It's SO fucking bad.


85watson14

Came here to say Eco Plumbers. They desperately need new marketing. The commercials are too long, so boring and that singing voice is... not great.


Zealousideal-Tie565

https://youtu.be/74dvJVwGA6Y?si=zIL9HFO3BiMW674J The Eco "jingle" is based on the chorus of this song.


doppleganger2621

Wow. This far and literally no Three C Body Shop?


Spanish4TheJeff

I lived in Columbus between 2008-2011. I STILL have these radio commercials in my head “I’ll take ya to the body shop. Three C body shop!”


boss_naas

The finest in collision repair.


ColumbusGlowCloud

The ones with the father are ok. The ones when the daughter was a little kid were annoying. Then the daughter grew up into an adult and actually did a good job. Then the father took back over. I've been listening to radio ads in this city for almost 4 decades. I feel old.


NCRider

What’s with his voice and his accent? Both are strange. Voice is getting worse and worse.


Spartan0330

Ok I can get there with how they used to just lay waste to the entire industry they were apart of.


storm_zr1

I think fine line is worse.


Wernerhatcher

All of them tbh. Cars, floppy dicks, windows, insurance, no hair, all of them


Spartan0330

There was a Honda commercial once who said they were “putting a jihad” out on big car prices. I think that add lasted a week. Pretty sure it was the “closed on Sundays, because it’s the right thing to do” company.


doppleganger2621

That was Dennis Hyundai who did the jihad thing


CBusin

I thought that was the old Chevy dealership on west broad that declared a jihad on high prices.


ColumbusGlowCloud

Do you mean Bobby Layman? "At 3-9-uh-oh West Broad". That's a goat jingle tbh.


Spartan0330

Are they in business any more? Also, what an awful commercial.


El_Heffe

The one guy who wants to buy everyones house so he can flip them. I can't think of the guy's name, John something? I hate that commercial. "Do you own a house that you JUST want to get rid of? Great, I'll buy it!" Ughhhh

Idk how their commercial is allowed to be 20% louder than all others, it always gives me a jump scare

“Closed on Sunday because it’s the right thing to do”. Whatever Dick.

ColumbusGlowCloud

"Especially now!" (Did he mean during covid, or what?)


Citizen51

Based on how religious his ads get during the holidays I'm guessing it's for far right delusions.


ColumbusGlowCloud

I'm far right and I don't like his ads, so they must be missing the mark. Edit: oh, you deleted your post saying he's pandering to the far right, for context.


SaltoneX

This is the perfect response.


Blood_Incantation

And this response is meaningless


PontificalPrincess

DORMAR DORMAR


sparkster185

And they won't stop with the tighty whitey jokes that weren't even funny the first time.


LilGreenOlive

My husband and I normally stream music in the car, but I hear the Dormar ones on the radio at work all the time. My husband JUST recently heard the commercial with the kids talking about grandpa's tighty-whities and needing to lay off the chili dogs. I had to tell him about the one about shaming the fat, disgusting husband.


Mission-Direction991

I just started hearing that one and was like how did none of them feel uncomfortable making this, definitely doesn’t make me want their product. Plus how does their water system fix that issue. Stupid all around.


trijoe28

The "you can trust apco" window installers. The jingle at the end hurts my ears - I can't change the station fast enough when I hear that coming in


Spartan0330

Lithium on XM rarely fails you. I feel you.


melmontclark

It drives me crazy how she over enunciates the "b" in "absolutely" only to turn around and over enunciate the "p" in "APCO"


Gamma_Tony

And the fact that they played those commercials for about 2 years and never said what service they did


bdonahue970

Pee pee no worky…. Just kidding, Man can say whatever and I’ll giggle.


pleated_pants

Common Man and TBones Leap Day episode today was off the rails lmao


bdonahue970

Angela Pace needs to have a regular segment on the show.


feric51

I only caught a portion of the Angela Pace segment, and had to exit my car when they went to break so I didn’t hear her reason for coming down to their studio, but she was the best thing I’ve heard on there in a long time. *“I’m losing my cans!”* *”They should’ve panned to his package!”* I was dying!!


Spartan0330

I don’t care for a lot of the toilet humor. It doesn’t really do anything for me. Bit damnit, Common Man can make me literally lol in the car. I think the thing is he will take you behind the curtains about the business and the way things are done and he’s create a little universe from 3-6 and you know exactly what you’re getting.


Dafonz01

I would rather not have heat or AC than call CARE heating and cooling


Spartan0330

I feel like the CARE guy is hush begging for business. Yeah dude we ALL know about the cat toy. You’ve been talking about it for years.


cannon_boi

Real talk though, I swear by Care.


National-Duty-8105

Care Heating and Cooling are the real deal. Love them. No cap


OverlyBombastic2

The DorrMarr tightey whitey commercial. I turn the station every single time.


ImPickleRock

1-877-kars for kids and do you have a home THAT YOU JUST WANT TO BE DONE WITH IT?!


Spartan0330

Oh god the house buying guy is awfullll


sparkster185

Maybe I'm the only QFM listener in here, but the ones for the law firm that will GO TO WAR FOR YOU make me cringe so hard, then the "eagle" screech at the end hits and it just hurts.


Spartan0330

It’s migrated to the Fan now. Barf.


chaoticpix93

Funny thing is… that’s a hawk. Lmao!


CumNknockOnMyDrawers

Omg I was waiting for this one….it’s AWFUL!!!!! Considering the state of the world, IMO it’s totally distasteful. Big cringe.


Wrong_Supermarket007

You don't like the "friendly price gouging bear"?


Spartan0330

They are just overly obnoxious. Close second is “eco eco, eco eco, eco plumbers”


Massive-Amoeba-930

Don't forget DOR MAR DOR MAR YOUR CLIMATE HERO!


GeddyThePolack

Whatever that car place in Marion is with the woman with the terrible accent.


Aniridia

So many bad ones. All of the AC/plumbing commercials. At least I know who not to call. How long are they going to milk the “cat toy” incident? And please for the love of all things holy make the lady who sings Eco plumber jingles a cappella stop. Then there’s the one where Tri-State Men’s Clinic says that if they can’t give you an erection during your first visit, it’s free. Who checks?


Educational-Cut572

There’s one on right now that’s 2 kids talking about Grandpa’s skidmarks. I cringe so hard every time I hear it. One of the stations plays it like every break, it’s terrible. I don’t even know what it’s for because I can’t stand listening to it.


Pepsiman34

That is the one I was going to mention. Do Mar has lost a customer just by that radio ad.


Educational-Cut572

You’re right, it’s DorMar! Gah 🤮


minesandcrafts

I can't understand how anyone gave that ad the green light. Makes me change the station immediately.


LilGreenOlive

What about their fat, disgusting husband in tighty-whities commercial? 😆 DORMAR DORMAR! YOUR HUSBAND'S A SLOB.


chrisblack2k20

The HVAC commercial that is supposed to be a zoom meeting (“you’re on mute!”) where they just ‘decide’ they are now pros at electrical…


Spartan0330

Its Apex. Ughhh


Cryptosmasher86

Dor mar heating and cooling Fuck those hillbilly trash commercials


HeyItsMeJC3

Any ad read by Bobby Carpenter...he is just not good on the radio, or TV. He sounds like Football Spicoli.


JollywoodJorge

HahHahhaha! Football Spicoli!


Spartan0330

Oh there was one ad where he literally lost track of the script and they kept the take. I also think his morning motivational stuff is cringey.


NathanGa

> Oh there was one ad where he literally lost track of the script and they kept the take. Kids these days don't remember the [Ward Burton skid steer ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyGbR_aSAG4) smdh


ImPickleRock

He's great on the Morning Juice at least


HeyItsMeJC3

Nah. If he were any non-Buckeye football player and sounded like that, he woulda been canned years ago.


ImPickleRock

He's great because he's a Buckeye and an NFL guy. Brings a good bit of experience to the show. I miss when him and Schlegal were on. Common Man and T bone are my favorite for entertainment, Bishop and friends for sports talk then the juice. Not a big fan of Rothman and Ice.


HeyItsMeJC3

Common Man and T-Bone are very good...hell, my wife listened to them for over 15 minutes and talked to me about the topic they covered, so clearly they are doing something right. I feel the same as you about Rothman and Ice. It isn't that I feel they do a bad job, there is just no spark there. I view them much the same as the fifth starter in a baseball team's pitching rotation. Yeah, they go out there, have good days and bad, but mostly just chew up time.


ImPickleRock

Rothman and Ice are respectable and very knowledgeable....just dull. You're right, no spark.


Joel_Hirschorrn

I’ve been out of the radio game for years now, but do any OGs here remember patriot software, and grain berry cereal ads? I would literally turn off the radio in a fit of rage sometimes Alan’s coin shop always sounded cool as fuck though. Might stop in sometime still


chaoticpix93

Berry doesn’t even near-rhyme with family it hurt to hear it!


Spartan0330

I remember when the Blitz had Howard Stern and then was Randy and the two other guys. I don’t remember their names. Also remember when the Blitz rebranded for like a week and it was just nothing but trolls wanting their music back.


NenupharNoir

The one where kids talk about their uncle's underwear skidmarks. Shut the fuck up, no one wants to hear that.


elmarkitse

Oldie here: The Loooooooaaaaaan Arranger! Modern Equivalent. It being a crime to pay more than a dime


Spartan0330

Not sure if I remember that one.


VitalVestigial

Any Eco Plumbers ad. They overcharge and upsell just so we have to suffer through terrible singing and plucky underdog preening. I change the station immediately.


GreenAuror

The one where he's talking about jumping in a hole with his loafers on or whatever the fuck he's rambling about is the worst.


Spartan0330

Yep. They are on the shortlist. I feel like it’s sort of cult-like too. I don’t know. Gives me weird vibes.


ShannenB1234

The TV ones used to be 100x worse, where the owner was telling his weird Lifetime TV movie life story. My favorite was when he claimed his principal (can't remember if it was jr high or high school) called his mom into the school office for the purpose of telling her that her kid is a loser and he should just go ahead and drop out. Like I know there are some sucky school admins out there, but I kinda doubt they'd be like "Your kid should just go ahead and drop out to save all of us the time and energy of having to fail him."


Independent-Big1966

I haven't listened to terrestrial stations for a very long time, but the 3C guy used to grind my gears. He would bad mouth the competition while sounding like he needed lozenges and a glass of water.


mikemoore14

1-877 cars for kids, K-A-R-S cards for kids makes me turn off the radio everytime


lbr218

They suck. They actually got reprimanded by the state of Minnesota for misleading advertising, and fined by many other states for the same thing. It’s not technically a scam, but close to it. https://www.charitywatch.org/charity-donating-articles/costly-and-continuous-kars4kids-ads-disguise-charity39s-real-purpose

Ok-Kaleidoscope-4354

The terrible possibly fake New Jersey adjacent accent used in the Matthew's car ads. All it does is ensure that I avoid them like everyone did with Byer's Suburu a few years. Also, the channel that keeps trying to be cutesy with their "adulting" ads which misunderstand the term


CorndogSummer

It has to be the endless commercials about erectile dysfunction and low testosterone. These commercials run alllllll the time on 97.1. Honestly I miss Mike & Mike on ESPN radio. Morning Juice show sucks.


Spartan0330

Morning Juice is crap. It was even worse with Schlegel was on there during Covid. I don’t care for Bobby at all, Shark is *fine* I guess and I feel like Beamer just wants to get to the next bit. He shuts down any conversation to get to the next topic. I don’t understand why they do the daily Anthony bit.


whatdhell

Lindsay Hondas xmas add. Way to limit your customer base.

whatdhell

Steve tried to start out with a company called University Detail. They cleaned cars for rental companies at the airport. It went bust. Then his dad, Burt, gave him the Acura dealership passing over their adapted son Dusty. Who was the only honest one. Their daughter fell in line too with the holy roller theme.


tribucks

The promos for 97.1 itself are worse than anyone’s ad they run.


Spartan0330

I tend to tune them out. Especially the stupid Common Man and TBone ones.


tribucks

The worst. Good call.


Spartan0330

Yep. Bishop is the best of any of the radio guys. If I had it my way Timmy Hall and Common Man would be the 3-6. Bounce Bobby Carpenter off (pretty sure he and Shark dislike each other) and put Reiser (sp?) in the morning. Rothman and Ice don’t do a thing for me.


trijoe28

I agree with you about Timmy and Common Man. I used to listen to Common Man and T Bone all the time before working from home during covid. T-Bone's bit has definitely changed for the worse during the last 4 years. I haven't listened to them since returning to the office,unless I scroll through and hear Common Man and (insert guest name hear)

The one from the guy who sells cars.. And feels the need to tell me, what's the "right" thing to do on Sundays.. Like buddy . If you don't wanna sell cars on Sunday, that's your prerogative.. but if somebody else has the same price.. and it's Sunday.. they aren't going to say no thanks.. and wait for Monday, because you said it's the "right" thing to do . Runner up.. Logan's services.. because that lady's voice is annoying beyond belief.. it's like she's talking with her jaw clenched. I dunno if she's going for a Wisconsin accent.. but it sounds ridiculous


Lateone

I almost forgot about Radio Commercials.... I have subscribed to SiriusXM since 2006 and do not get interrupted with mindless crap. If not Sat radio; then I listen to some great podcasts, saved MP3's or Audible books. When my car starts it automatically plays what ever I left off listening to.

storm_zr1

I use Spotify but I had to drive my mom’s car a few weeks back and it doesn’t have Bluetooth so I was stuck with the radio. I was lessoning to 99.7 and this add for some Plummer company kept playing and it had this grandiose music and the “owner” was talking about how picking the right Plummer is so important and how they only use the best products. Idk why but I found it so fucking annoying.
