This is the 1st of two campy funny TV commercials I did when I owned cell phone stores in Melbourne Florida. My mother made "Supertel Man's" costume and I hired the girl for a couple hundred bucks to spend an afternoon making this rediculous thing.
I spent about $10,000 to have this funny TV commercial run in Brevard County Florida for 3 months. The second funny TV commercial (which I can't find :/) featured Lexxus from Real Radio in South Florida and was still just as corny. Hopefully I can find that one someplace.
Did the commercials work? Yes, it did. It took several months to get foot traffic in the store but after a while, everyone in Melbourne/Palm Bay/Vierra/Cocoa Florida knew who we are. My water treatment clients at NASA called me "Captain Tights" which is a pretty good description. I was inspired by the funny TV commercials "Crazy Eddie - It's INSANE!" used to run on WPIX in New York back in the day.
Unfortunately I lost these businesses when I got Lymphoma in early 2003. As a 31 year old, I had no plan on becoming severely ill nor did I have a plan in place to deal with being absent from a business I worked 90 hours a week in.
