Monica Hesse of the Washington Post refers to the FreeCreditReport.com commercials as maddeningly catchy ads. This was the first time* I had read or heard anyone talk about these ads. I love them.
For someone to notice and then like a commercial, there must be something that they connect with. I can see where some women might be attracted: Catchy tune, cute guy. Or maybe someone with little ambition: "I'm not working, I'm just going to play music." Or maybe the guy who thinks his wife nags him: "Get a haircut and get a real job."
I like the commercials because the tunes are catchy and because the FreeCreditReport.com guy represents freedom and someone who is enduring obstacles along life's path while pursuing their passion. That's it.
*I originally saw the article in the TBT. I love the TBT and wanted to give them recognition for running the story(guess I just did guys). But because I am the only person on the planet who newspaper search engines will not work for, I found the original story in the Washington Post...by way of Google...their search engine couldn't produce the story either.
I'm with you Dave. These are VERY catchy and very fun. This guy has talent.
Too bad he's selling such a sleazy product or he'd REALLY be awesome!

Hey Phil, thanks for stopping in. Probably just a matter of time before he graduates into something else.
