it is not a REAL relationship, it’s fictional and it’s not even a movie, not even a show it lasts less than a couple minutes. some of us have actually been through situations where we were treated like dirt by someone who was supposed to love and support us. believe me there is misogyny and horrible things said and implied all over our culture in songs on the radio, in books, movies, and even commercials..I wish you would go fight against some of that because it’s everywhere and it feels like it’s winning sometimes and no one is paying attention….but this commercial is just a joke, meant for a laugh and I enjoy it and it gives me a chuckle. To me clearly the joke is that love is NOT supposed to be that way, that it should be the opposite. That’s why it’s funny, if anything it’s making fun of guys that really are jerks like that.

The reason the dream girl commercial is FUNNY and a JOKE is because it’s obvious that love and marriage SHOULDN’T be like that, and no man should want out of a marriage with his dream girl just because she has bad credit. That’s why it’s funny because it’s obviously sarcastic, if it wasn’t so incredibly clear that of COURSE that is wrong wrong wrong, and horrible that a guy would put credit (and essentially money and material things) above true love..then there would be no joke in the jingle. Essentially the guys in this commercial are really making fun of themselves, not anybody else…which is a good sign that anybody could be that humbling…well they may not be making fun of themselves, because who knows who they are in real life, but they are making fun of the whole series of commercials.

generally it’s tough to afford a whole house on 1 person’s salary.

well, at least until the housing market collapsed.

it’s a freakin commercial. lighten up Frances.

you’re probably the type of d’bag who sits at a comedy show and says “yeah, well that doesn’t REALLY happen so I’m not gonna laugh.”

It’s called sarcasm.

listen to some George Carlin- you may learn to appreciate it.

Sandy, that lyric you wrote is HILARIOUS!

You are AWESOME with an excellent command of both English and French!

Merci beau coup!

Regardless of whether or not the commercials are for entertainment purposes, or if they are/aren’t related, it’s hard to NOT see the glaring flaws in logic.

Pirate: A hacker causes someone to have to work at a restaurant? What does this say for the many people who make their living this way? Also, if he had an ID theft problem, I think there would be more important things to consider. Did that cause him to lose a previous job, or did his parents make him go out and start working instead of playing guitar in the garage?

Dream Girl: Apparently his “dream girl” isn’t really that. Maybe it should have been in the pre-nup? Someone else said a mouthful earlier about how bogus this is on so many levels. I guess credit trumps love?

Used car: Boo frickin’ hoo! You think you’re so special that you deserve a Lexus or something? Get something within your means. That’s what everyone has to do. It’s not a right. Can’t get the expensive job? Good luck with insurance!

Bicycle: Total bullshit. Bike store doing a credit check? You’re not Lance Armstrong. You can get a decent bike for under $100. Coming from someone who rides a lot, I know what I’m talking about. If you’re talking about financing a 10 speed, you’re probably doing something wrong.

What the hell, though… someone’s getting paid to put that tripe on the air, and it looks like it’s getting attention – good and bad. Personally, I consider it a barely legal scam. I see them using exaggeration to play on some fears. As long as it makes money it’ll stay on.

But I do have to admit like Christy catchy tune and lyrics for this one & the other two.

So in the Dream Girl commercial, what no one seems to notice or comment on is that he is now BLAMING his dream girl that he married for his sucky credit!

Since he was a broke loser in the first two, could someone explain to me how it’s HER fault now?? He says he’d be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard…from the initial fact that his credit sucks, it would make more sense to assume he’s lucky to be living in someone else’s basement because he couldn’t afford his own rent (because his credit sucks, remember.)

His yard and a dog would most likely be a junkyard with a junkyard dog living in his crappy car…if he hadn’t married his dream girl and was lucky enough to find parents who let a slob like him move in!

The Clio is the award for the best commercials of the year (like the Oscars and Emmys)—these commercials have my vote (the Pirate is my favorite).

And here’s a question I’ve never been able to answer: who’s the band that did the “Zoom, zoom” song for the Mazda commercials?

I particularly hate the “I married my dream girl” commercial. Not only is the singer an ugly and dirty hippie pig, not only is the song itself insipid and annoying, but the very message is an insult to the sanctity of marriage.

Marriage is something “for richer, for poorer; for better, for worse.” Yet here is this commercial in which the @$$ hole singer derides his wife for her poor credit rating. I don’t know about you, but I find this to be one of the least tasteful ads, ever. Couples go through money problems. It happens to almost all of us. It has happened to me. It has happened to other members of my family. People lose jobs. People have investments go south. People have medical problems. You know what a good spouse is supposed to do? STEP UP AND BE SUPPORTIVE! Make sacrifices. Work jobs you don’t like. Help the family make it through. Most of all, remember your vow to love and cherish for richer for poorer. You know what you DON’T do? You don’t sing a mocking song about how you shouldn’t have married the bitch.

Honey, dump the guitar-playing loser. You can do better than him! He doesn’t love you. He doesn’t respect you. He has no respect for the sanctity of marriage. Go find a nice, clean-cut man – one with a real job who doesn’t just sit around the house playing guitar with his stoner buddies – and discover what real love is.

And shame on you, evil corporation, for running this commercial! Readers, you should be outraged. You should boycott this company as long as this commerical runs.

I will never, NEVER, use the services of Free Credit Report dot com. I won’t even give them the courtesy of a link. And please, please, will all the TV and radio stations out there stop running these commercials? When I see/hear one, I change the channel. I urge all of you readers to do the same – and inform your local channels that they are losing you.

Never been married before, have you? You’re in for more than one surprise!

I have two daughters. Both fully grown. I too appreciate the female form.

By the way, your grammar, spelling, punctuation, and complete misunderstanding and misapplication of the word “adultery” leads us all to one inescapable conclusion —

You’re too young to be allowed on the computer. Your mommy is calling, kid. Quit gunking up the comments section, and go play with your toys.

Now, back to the comment -

1) We sure Eric Violette actually SANG these and didn’t lipsync? It seems from his demo reel that he would have a heavy French accent …

2) Any idea who the tall drummer is? He’s got a good look!

Love the commercials, nevertheless.

You don’t know me or my situation in life. How dare you for making assumptions and judgemental conclusions!

I might have had a daughter out of wedlock, or maybe I am a divorcee.

Or, as is the case, perhaps my wife was killed in Iraq while serving her country for big fat dumbasses like you to pontificate with your holier-than-thou smartass attitudes. You are far too judgemental on a blog that is SUPPOSED to be pure fun, but no, you had to stick your greasy, pimple infested nose where is doesn’t belong.

Next time, stop sniffing the airplane glue, get your head out of your ass and join reality. It’s the thing that ISN’T Southpark on TV or a videogame on your Playstation, check it out sometime.

And even if I WERE still married and not a widower, it is not YOUR place to judge me. At least I appreciate the female form instead of being completely gay like you!

In the “New Car” spot, the pirate hat is in the back seat along next to the bass player (who is playing electric guitar in this one). You see it during his close up when he almost closes his eyes as he sings the harmony vocal part.

Yes, I agree the FCR.com people are dishonest, but these commercials are kind of funny, at the very least, amusing. I love the continuity between all 3 of them, and wonder how they could pull off another 2 or 3 of these with different themes.

I would STILL like to know the name of the actress in this commercial, she certainly IS a hotty!
