Growing up with Chicago commercials you grow an affinity for mundane humor

Anyone that grew up on "Eagle Man", the "Empire Carpet" commercials, or the "Tile Outlet" girl know that Chicago commercials lack a certain luster that other parts of the country have. We even have Peter Francis Geraci commercials, the most boring friggin' commercial you'll ever see on television. In Chicago we have had the fantastic experience of building a mundane sense of humor that the Midwest is historically known for.

For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, I have embedded some of these commercials in the bottom of this post. For those of you that do know what I'm talking about, here is the culmination of growing up with Chicago commercials when you have to make your own commercial for your own business.


The most BORING commercial you'll ever have to sit through is Peter Francis Geraci, here:




If you don't know how the Chicago accent works, pay close attention to how the Tile Outlet actress says "Stock"


And the Coup De Gras of Chicago commercials, "Eagle Man"



And finally, how can I not plug myself. Order any Chicago Johnny's Products at www.ChicagoJohnnys.com or here on Amazon
