DC Folks -- anybody remember these old local commercials?

[mikeyboy]

For those of you who grew up in the DC/MD/VA area in the 70s and 80s, do you remember these old local commercials?

Kemp Mill Records
visual - An arm from offscreen smashes a turntable with a sledgehammer

"Kemp Mill Records breaks its own records. It's $5.99 and it's all the time. Kemp Mill Records"

or this one:

Jhoon Ree Self Defense

visual: different people sparring in slow motion

jingle: "When you call Jhoon Ree Self Defense, then you too will say:
'Nobody bothers me.'
'Nobody bothers me'
'Nobody Bothers me'"

Asian kid: "Nobody bothers me"
2nd Asian kid (winking at camera): "Nobody bothers me, either"

Also, this was more of a Baltimore thing in the 70s, but does anybody remember the old Mr. Ray's Hair Weave commercials?

I can recite the Ourisman Chevrolet song perfectly. And is that an urban legend about the chick who used to sing it once got raped and the perp made her say: "You always get your way"?
One I found funny decades ago was for a car dealership, I forget which, but the guy would say: "Nobody; noooooobody will give you a better deal.......noooo

" and they ask me why I drink"

[high fly]

Oops, that was a last "...better deal, noooobody! .

" and they ask me why I drink"

Possibly the Mr. Nobody dealership? That sounds really familiar.

Could it be Jerry's Ford? *Jerry's Ford makes it clear...let the competition beware!!!!!!!!*

My favorite local commercials are still for Senate Insurance

KISS MY BUMPER!!

Of course I remember the "nobody bothers me" kids. That commercial is legendary! Mr. Ray's was good, too. I was also partial to Beefsteak Charlie's (was that local?).

Don't they still do the "nobody bother's me" one at odd hours? I could've sworn I saw it again between 2000-2003 when I lived there. I loved those damn commercials when I was a kid. Nobody bothered me, but I still wanted to kick their ass anyway.

[lilluvmunkie]

I dated one of the Ted Britt Ford kids...Gardner Britt.. in HS... any1 remember those commercials where he would have all his kids in it? Ted Britt had like 7 sons and his house was amazing ...shoulda stayed with that family I might be able to have a decent car :-p
