This is a real commercial for a real mobile home company. Everything Robert says in it is true. (If more commercials were like this, no one would Tivo past them).

I have to snag our local Mattress Warehouse commercial. It features a guy with the most complete lack of coordination I have ever seen thinking he dances well.

It's great. They're projecting an image, though. But it's one that would work: you get the feeling you trust these people not to bullshit you.

Oh please oh please look up "Mattress Ranch" on youtube. It will make you love silly old men.

That is a rather interesting commercial to say the least...

The guys who made this commercial have made several others like this with other small town businesses. The Red House ones are a must-see in particular. Their YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/rhettandlink

This was great. I used to see at least one of these "houses" on the road every day when I lived in NH - the new ones - not the ones with stains. Off to view the other videos.
