5. Ah, bringing harmony and furniture to the races.
There'd be less war if more of us felt this way.

9. Wow, High Point has changed from the last time I was there
I knew the big cities down south had changed a lot. Now it looks like the small ones are catching up.

I like this commercial, it's cornball and effective. If I didn't live in NM and have a house full of thrift shop junk, I'd be tempted to buy something from those guys just on general principles.

14. Holy shit...
what the fuck?

I love deer huntin' and bass fishin' and I love da Red House and I'm white.

This is possibly the weirdest commercial of all time.

I can't figure out if it's racist or stupid or a mixture of all of the above.

16. "I haven't killed any puppies. Come eat at my restaurant."
This will probably be the next commercial.

Odd as it may sound, this is the general way car dealers advertised in the days when they could afford to do half-hour infomercials. They all said "I'm a great guy, come buy a car from me." No price, no real info, just the dealer trying to establish his rep. This furniture store commercial is just a teeny baby step beyond that.

I guess they couldn't find one stupid enough to want to be in this stupid commercial.
