I imagine that there are people who enjoy discovering what cheap time slots Peter has his commercials in, just so they can be horrified at them.
There was a car repair place here years ago who ran their ads at, like, 4:30 a.m. They were great. They guy was all dressed up in a very fine suit, standing in front of a green screen talking as fast as he could so he could tell you as much as possible in 30 seconds. Behind him were flashing scenes of cars in various states of disrepair. What made the commercials funny is, in rapid-fire delivery, the guy said, “We specialize in foreign cars, we specialize in American cars, we specialize in body work, we specialize in painting,…” and on and on… They specialized in everything they did. By the end of it, even people who let language just flow over them with no thought woke up enough to go “Hang on, dude. Maybe go look up the word “specialize””
Think of Peter Enis Wang doing that kind of commercial, along with wildly misinterpreting what his inventory might be, and you’ve got it.
Dang. Now I’ve gotta make sure we see his commercials here.
I love those late deep night commercials….”Are you lonely? Would you like to meet exciting women? Then call 1-800…….We accept all major credit cards.”
Around 1973-74 there was a late night tv program on Saturday nights with old films. It was partially sponsored by a furniture store whose owner evidently was a show-biz wannabe. He used to come on dressed as a fireman and proceeded to hose down the set, then he’d shout “The fire is out!” abd proceed to advertise his fire “damaged” sales goods. We used to watch just for him, hammiest actor ever.

Russel Oliver is (in)famous in the Ontario region. He’s good for a laugh.

Just saw all the grammar and spelling errors. It’s official, my eyes and mind are now totally gone. And it was in Wichita, Ks.

I loved those MAACO ads! His payroll must have been HUGE with all those specialists.
When I was in University in Texas the late night car commercial we would always laugh at and inevitably sing along with was Cal Worthington and his dog spot. I recall the opening of one commercial he was wing walking on a bi-plane.
Why not? After all, everyone needs a good laugh now and then.
P. Enis Wang ker.

Peter Enis: “Here at P. Enis’ Sports Stores, we don’t need to specialize, we got it all. If you don’t need it, we ain’t got it. And, like they say, there’s no difference between your butt and a hole in the ground. P. Enis’ – why shop anywhere else. We make it hard enough for you to shop right here.”
