This Week In Memorable Local Commercials: Airport Plaza Jewelers

they definitely put out memorable commercials. just drives me crazy when the girl says 'vintage vatches' on the mr. gold commercial.

I always wondered if these types of commercials work. By 'these' I mean intentionally obnoxious commercials. I mute the tv or turn the channel when I see this come on. Sure I know the place exists now because the commercials air every other second but does that make me want to shop there? No, not at all. I assume intentionally annoying commercials work since there seem to be a lot of them. Anyone know if these commercials are effective in increasing sales?

Why is Buffalo Rising celebrating crass commercialism?

I never understood why someone like a jeweler would make themselves look so ridiculous. When it comes to buying gold and jewels, you should go to someone you can trust for thier professionalism. How can you be sure of the authenticity of anything you buy from a guy who sits behind a glass window in a photomat booth with manequin parts?

Besides that "old gold" doesn't lose its value, "vintage" watches have diamond parts in them.
~~~~~~~~~~
There is another way to acquire vintage jewelry and make one's self and one's family wealthy. Be a junk dealer who is willing to clean out an old person's attic for free! "There's (gold and diamonds) in them there (attics)"!!!
~~~~~~~~~~
For the very most part, we mute commericals.
~~~~~~~~~~
This family's business must have a low overhead by being in what looks like a tiny, uncomfortable cubicle. We don't buy anything from these people, therefore, the younger lady, if we wanted to identify her, would be known as "I buy it".
~~~~~~~~~~
This family had a Christmas commercial we muted but I did watch. I watched their human hands while amusing myself trying to guess what the family relationships are.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am guessing that since the two younger adults are not wearing wedding bands, they are brother and sister and the other two are the mother and father?
~~~~~~~~~~
Their newest ad was just on!!! Ugh!!! Does the daughter approve of the change???

Isn't that location in Depew, not Cheektowaga and that is why the latest ad does not feature a pink flamingo?

Did you know that when young ladies go out into the world, especially to their first jobs, many times they purchase what appears to be a wedding band or an engagement ring just so that the guys won't bother them?

Can't wait to see the comments about
"Cricket on Grant, Baby"

Oh no, lets not even go near those cricket commercials.

The thing that bothered me most about this commercial was the sheer frequency of it. I couldn't walk by the living room without hearing "I BUY IT!"

The Cricket commercial are so annoying though too. "Cricket on Grant Baby! Cricket University Plaza Baby!"

Those cricket commercials are the epitomy of ghetto fabulous. Cricket girl by day, prostitute by night.

I am so sick of this commerical! It comes on all day every day. Is it really necessary to air the commerical that much? What they need to do is lower their advertising bill and get a bigger space. It is such a small and crammed space for the amount of people they serve. It reminds me of a pawn shop, like buffalo needs another one of those...

remember 'i'm the king'

HAHAHAHAHH!!! "I'm THA KING"! I totally forgot about that one! We should have a vote on which is the most ridiculous and award it with the "Crazy Eddie" trophy. This series of articles is hysterical! Lest we not forget that not taking ourselves too seriously is an integral part of being from Buffalo (and the surrounding areas).

Crazy Eddie is in JAIL for a loooong time!

OHHHH! That's the first time I EVER got sensored!!!!!! That is NOT a dirty word though! It IS a male chicken and the name of an actual plant and it is in the dictionary as having those meanings!!!
~~~~~~~~~~
Its also the sound a rooster makes in the morning. So, can I say rooster and roostery?

OK. I waited ten minutes for my next comment to appear. I DO NOT USE TRASHY OR FILTHY LANGUAGE YOU BR PEOPLE--where is my rebuttle? Where is your dictionary too?

Does anyone here know what the hell Crisa is talking about?

I wasn't going to continue commenting on this particular dopy ad, but, although I didn't see it myself, I heard that the jeweler family ran their newest ad often later in the day yesterday.
~~~~~~~~~~
Apparently, it says a lot for what that family thinks of both WNYers and their own image--and it also says that they read at BR.

BR is a public forum. It is not only on the best means of communication, the Internet. BR is a small but growing spot within the biggest spot of all, the world-wide Internet.
~~~~~~~~~~
It is not the same thing that complimenting or complaining by telephone or mail or even e-mail (if an e-mail address can be found)or stopping at the store to speak up would be.
~~~~~~~~~~
I am guessing that advertisers are still in the process of learning all that...
~~~~~~~~~~
And what they are learning is that what gets on the Internet stays on the Internet; on the very world-wide Internet, that is.
~~~~~~~~~~
BR is a much-visited local spot on the Internet. BR is not your daddy's...well, your daddy never dreamt of so much exposure!
~~~~~~~~~~
BR is not the only local spot, but, this locality of WNY needs one particular place to gather in cyberspace. Otherewise, there are too many.
~~~~~~~~~~
Trying to keep up with them all is like trying to pick out favorite stars in the sky; or like being permanently rivited to a computer...

Have a nice weekend ya all.

I won't be visiting Airport Plaza Jewelers. Their ads are ridiculous. To imply that their ad campaign is successful because people remember the commercials is equally ridiculous. Being familiar with the stupidity in the ads doesn't translate into choosing to do business there. A little professionalism would go along way. It amazes me that anyone would go there to buy anything.

Thanks for linking to my video, BR. But why didn't you link to the uncut, unaired, unedited Special Edition?!

Yeah baby!

If it's still on TV than it's still commentable:
.
A bunch of adults were talking about the ongoinggg ad of this jeweler family.
.
Someone wondered what their actual family name is. No one knew.
.
Someone else thought this family first started out in some sort of business in downtown Buffalo and whatever it was, it was newsworthy??? Someone else did remember something, but again, no one remembered what.
.
But no one listens to that ad anymore so no one pays atention to what the daughter says she thinks she is remembered as, although, everyone did wonder if that former daddy's little girl realizes she is now a lovely young adult who eventually might not appreciates being known as some sort of chicken girl...

And it is also time to upgrade that ad to a professional adult level, sort of like the one where everyones' ears are not offended by "Nice touch, Andrew."
