I think there should be a law prohibiting car dealerships having their own people appear in commercials. Have they no pride? Sensibility? The ones that really look dumb is where the salespeople or owners are in some costume, be it a pirate or circus ringmaster. They look like (and they are) idiots.

More nanny state silly stuff.
They don’t give a damn if you think that they look like idiots.

Can't legislate away stupidity, Ed. They seem to think it works for them - if it meens YOU don't buy from them, it's their loss - from THEIR stupidity.
If you buy from them, chances are it's YOUR loss - for the same reason - - - -

Now that is an honest commercial!
When I lived in Philly, a Ford dealer advertised and it was a nice professional commercial. I was surprised when I was in CT to see the same commercial, same spokesman, just a different dealer sign. I imagine many of them do that.

Then you have Shaquille O'Neal laughing all the way to the bank. He comes across as a bit of a buffoon, but is a pretty sharp businessman.

Yes, he is. I do not follow basketball but became a fan after he retired and found out about his good deeds and ethics, although I will not buy Gold Bond lotion.
