It's Grady, The Ill-Tempered Badger Car Salesman..



Working at a car dealership for 7 years, I love when the industry gets picked on. And there is no easier target than the car salesman. Maybe it's a cliche', but it makes for good advertising. With that in mind, we introduce you to Grady the Badger(ing) Car Salesman....

The brainchild of a dealership chain in Raleigh, NC (and their ad company), Grady is the seven deadly sins in a furry nutshell.... He's rude, sexist, slovenly, greedy - all of those things that make a bad car salesman. Each commercial ends with the tag line, "Don't Get Badgered". It took a tour around the dealership - mainly because i think he sells Hondas - and now everyone is walking around the dealership going "Ke-Powee !!!". It gets slow at work sometimes... Here's the complete campaign....

It's for the Johnson Automotive Group in Raleigh. I never heard of them, but I think the campaign is for them exclusively, unlike the Trunk Monkey.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I laughed so hard I killed cancer cells incubating inside me.

Laughter IS the best medicine, right?
