Bob Dance TV Ads
Is there anyone else out there that DETESTS the bobdance.com ads as much as I do?
 I am so SICK of that "Grace", her dog, and her overweight, child exploiting father of hers.  I've sent them emails and told them how disgusting their TV ads are...to no avail I might add. I mute the TV, change the channel, leave the room...whatever it takes to not have to listen to that garbage. I think I'll write Channels 9 and 2 and tell them that everytime this stupid ad comes on I change the channel. I'm sure they'll really care!!!  I wouldn't buy a car from that idiot if he were the last car dealer on earth!! "What's the bottom line Grace?" "Dad, it's only $XXXXXXXXX" Grin Grin Grin "....bobdance.com where everybody rides" More Grin, Grin, Grin.... Oh pleeeeeeeeeease, spare me the pain!!!!!! ...and to think I once complained about the big boob bimbo car ads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, I got that off my chest...I feel better now.

Honestly I never paid much attention to them until my daughter started turning the channel every time the ad came on the TV.....
I have to say that she is in complete agreement with you... I don't have much of an opinion as the channel is changed before I can see the darn thing! LOL

Funny You Should Mention It
I watch very little TV, however, it seems every time I turn it on I am looking at a Bob Dance commercial. I immediately hit the mute button.
I got sick of it when the old man was exploiting his grand daughter. Now we have the son and they have thrown in a dog plus purchased a lot more air time. They are not going to sell you a car and certainly not me but maybe they appeal to enough people to make it worth their while. BTW, dogs seem quite popular in car ads. |

Ohhhh how we can relate to your furor over the Dance ads. We also would mute during the ads and felt the same about the Toyota Orlando ad with the gal and the pup. Drove us crazy and I notice that TO seems to have shortened their ads and are not as intrusive. They gave up on the phone number sign the gal and the dog, thank goodness.
Good idea to cram the television channels with complaints. Those commercials drove us to recording most all of our fav shows so that we could fast forward thru the commercials. Since we're not in TV during the summer, it does give us a break from all of that "crap." Upon our return, I'll definitely join in on contacting the channels with emails and phone calls complaining. It really is a "catch 22" situation wherein the ads are revenue for the channels, yet they are driving peeps away with the overload of bad commercials. It seems that there's now more commercials than program viewing in most programs.

Well I was told by a friend of a friend whose Uncle said that two weeks ago BOB DANCE offered to send the little dog to Siberia and the Little Girl to an AUNT in Ft. Worth if someone would buy a car,,,
The following day he sold 122 units............ EVERYBODY RIDES .... fumar

OH, YES...tell her I'm with her on that one too. They are low budget and lack professionalism. YUK!!! The TV gets changed or muted on those ads too but at least they are few and far between and NOT every commercial break like the "Grace" ads!!!

I spent 35 years in the auto business. I find it interesting that you did not mention what I find the worst part of the ad and that is that it is misleading. He asks Grace what's the bottom line and she says $9,999.00 and Bob Dance says bring us your trade worth $3,000.00. Do the math that means that if you don't have a trade then the bottom line is not $9,999. you need to add $3,000 to it to $12,999. There was a dealer that was running an ad in the Daily Sun which worked the same way when you read the small print it stated with a trade worth $3,000.00. I feel sorry for the salesperson who has to explain that one to a customer who walks in the front door. I ran several dealerships and I think advertising like this should not be allowed.
