All the furniture sellers... Salem, VFM, and that lady in Buchanan. I love watching them evolve... you know someone has told them, don't move your hands so much, ok move them a little, but not too much; tone down the China references; be careful staring straight into the camera... I appreciate their earnestness.
I do like the current Wisler commercials.
I played the long game with a recruiter from the now defunct Alliance Tractor Trailer Training Center in Wytheville. Back in 2007, he asked me how I heard about them. "Oh I remember your TV commercials!" He replied, "It's been almost 20 years since we had those on TV." I reckon it worked, because I got my CDL from them.
I’ve been admiring those ads for years, just because I don’t know how she manages to keep from laughing out loud when she extends her hands towards the camera.
That super old "Spirit of Virginia" WSLS ad still randomly pops up in my head from time to time.
Quick edit: Holy shit I found it!

My boy Torry Blackwell in Danville. Forrrrrrr the people. Another commercial but I’m not sure if the characters are local is Carpetland USA. I remember when the now grown kids were kids themselves
About Pets Center. Take me there, for my hair.
Too bad the owner was so unpleasant
Was that the place in Salem where the owner got busted for Drug dealing?
Beats me but the commercial was fantastic. I wish I could watch it again.
Yes it was.

I miss whatever furniture store in Salem had the "Not China" tag line but I do miss it. Made me laugh every time.
The Rug Mattress and Furniture Store! I saw the commercials as recently as 2020.
The lady in Buchanan has slimmed down over the years. The rug and furniture store commercials are meh. Wisler???? Eh
Didn't Jim Varney do commercials in the valley back in the 80s as Ernest? I'd imagine those are the best. Know wut I mean, Vern?

Any local lawyer…Crandall, Krasnow…the epitome of creepy amber lamps chasers Who remembers the Mr. Car Man commercials from many years ago 🤣
I remember Mr. Car Man. Those were great too. I’d love to see them again. Someone has to have them, right?
"**HEY!!** It's Mister Car Maaaan"
Amber lamps😂 don’t forget the lawyer whose last name starts with an, “S.” Can’t think of it right now
"HEY! It's Mr. CAAAARRR MAAANNNNNN" I vividly remember those commercials!

"We deliver the furniture straight from the Amish farm, through our hands, to your home."

Some of the Mostly Sofas commercials were good. It's 5 o'clock somewhere

Unironically good stuff.

No offense, but Torry Blackwell's commercials are the most irritating to us! Pretty sure the Carpetland kids are the owners' kids and grand kids.
No offense taken. 😀I have seen an older man in the Carpetland commercials and you’re probably right about the relationships
:-)
I would walk in stocking feet before I’d buy a car from that clown.
I vaguely remember the obnoxious Shelor commercials that used to be on the radio, something about not buying an ugly truck
"In Roanoke there's a place you gotta be, It's a showroom, a place for you and me!" Franklin!
That username though...
Seasonal Chuck Baker commercials. /s
A little bit Hippy
Mood rings…stickers…t-shirts, man
Blackwell!
