Here’s one for your entertaining recurring segment. This is a pest control ad that only seems to air on Comcast Detroit Cable as none of my suburban friends ever get to see it. Reason enough to endure Detroit’s high taxes and incompetent City Council!
His current ad is equally head-scratching as it’s just him dancing to Kool Moe Dee’s “I Go To Work” and doesn’t even mention pest control. It just has his phone number. If you call perhaps he just comes over and stomps all the bugs and rodents to music or he assumes he’s a household name now.
This may be the greatest thing we’ve ever seen. Please, someone send in the new one.

I would rather have the roaches in my home.
Is that the same man?
@MentalDisconnect: Yep.
Oh. My. God.
I honestly can’t think of anything else to say after seeing that…
I feel like I should be offended, but I’m not sure why….
uh. wow.
I would totally hire him after that.
Disturbing, to say the least. I think we’ve all had a glimpse into that dude’s personal life…just a little bit. And it’s frightening.
ah… its moments like this that i miss detroit.
then i remember the bad traffic, impotent city council, and constantly race-baiting politics and the feeling passes.
YES!!!! this was my favorite thing when i worked in detroit! there are a ton of other fantastically bad commercials on the detroit airwaves, i’ll have to have a look for them on youtube…
Wow….
Yeah that’s all I can say/think of right now…
I wish I lived in Detroit and had roaches.
I find it very strange that he dresses like a woman and acts like a complete fool, yet thinks this act will be worth his advertising dollars and result in new business. Not only that, but after his idiotic act he appears well dressed in a suit and acts like the previous segment never happened. One thing is for sure, I wouldn’t let that guy into my house if he was the last exterminator in the world!
