Last week, we made two truly heinous local piss-er-ia ads dance for our amusement. While they were both bad enough to actually make me consider staying in and heating up some Bertolli, it was Pizza-N-Go of... various locations that butt-waggled its way into your hearts.
First up in our battle of the bad-credit bad-asses, iiiiin the red corner, coming to us from Moultire, Georgia, it's the Credit MacDaddy of Georgia Car Credit!
Raise your hands if you were thinking "This is the worst thing ever" before he started rapping.
I also like how he's not a Mack Daddy. He's a MacDaddy, of the highland clan MacDaddys. They fought at Bannockburn, I believe.
Aaaaand in the blue corner, inexplicably wearing credit-fighting swim goggles, it's Dr. Credit of Florida Auto Exchange, Dunedin, Florida!
The afro wig was a nice touch, Dr. Credit. Really helped sell the noir-like mystique of the character. What was your favorite part, the unexpectedly attractive nurse or "Tanks, Dodda Credit"?
Many thanks to reader Alyson for that entry. 24 karat local-ad gold.
You have your competitors, ladies and gentiles. Leave a vote for your favorite in the comments section, and keep an eye on that credit score, huh?

I...have to pick Credit MacDaddy for the worst. "Dodda Credit" is...slightly less offensive to my senses, largely because neither he nor Nurse Cash attempts to rap.
Anyone else notice that Credit MacDaddy's shoes are about a size too big for him?
Doctor Credit gets my vote.
Credit MacDaddy was bad. Truly bad. Nothing sinks a commercial quicker than racial stereotypes. All black people drive big pimped out cars, wear rental shoes too big for their feet, have oily dreadlocks, and will steal white women from their husbands. The random inclusion of a pie to the face of Mr. White was a wonderfully horrible touch.
Doctor Credit was bad in a flat out hideous way. It came across as a commercial put together with whatever crap we had in the Halloween costume box. Swim goggles? WHAT? What put it over the top in a BIG WAY was the "actor" on the table's speech impediment. Who was this guy? Doctor Credit's grandson? Was he hit in the head with a wiffle bat as a child? He had two lines and he sounds horrible in both. "Can you fithit Dodda Credit" and "Thang Dodda Credit". Couldn't you have found someone who can clearly communicate the English language to get out your message? This is Grade-A Government Cheese.
Comparing the women in the commercials, and why shouldn't I, I'd have to go with MacDaddy as casting the appropriate woman for the part. She's late middle age and watching her 401K accounts go down the drain. In the Doctor Credit ad, Nurse Cash needed a sexier outfit, bigger breasts, and a less homely face. She was perky enough, but I think she's slept with the sound engineer to get the part.
One more thing about Dodda Credit: Why is the medical monitor beeping when the display clearly reads "ALL ALARMS OFF"?
I'm going to have to go with MacDaddy for badness. To blend rap with pie-in-the-face humor and two of the whitest white people on the face of the earth is pure...um...genius. Normally one would think, "That would never work." But clearly we were proven wrong.
Credit MacDaddy has to get my vote because it was so bad I couldn't even watch the entire thing. They should show it to torture terrorists in Gitmo. It's THAT bad.
Besides, I hate rap "music" with a passion. Only time I can listen to that stuff is when it's a "Weird" Al Yankovic parody!
Credit MacDaddy was so bad that with its full minute run time, you could have split it into two commercials, either of which would have won a runoff with Dr. Credit.
Credit MacDaddy gets my vote!
Credit MacDaddy, hands down.
The parody rap and the corny-looking "bling" speak volumes for sheer commercial tackiness.
Whew. Credit MacDaddy, definitely. He's a pimp, she's his ho, and Hawaiian shirt dude is a "client" with a pie fetish. Forget car credit, that's the story I'm getting from the commercial, and I really need to scrub my brain now.
Besides, the rap alone was worse than the Dr. Credit ad.
Credit MacDaddy wins this one. Middle-aged white people should never attempt to rap. Ever. This was even worse than when Rodney Dangerfield tried being "Rappin' Rodney".
Credit MacDaddy meet my friend Mr. Kendo Stick
I watched both commercials twice because of the "oh god each one can't get any worse" feeling, and I have to go with Credit MacDaddy. Although I did like in Dodda Credit when the machine made the flatline sound but the line was still moving up and down. Classy. But the wig alone made me cast my vote for MacDaddy.
Credit MacDaddy. It was a minute long and terrible. The least they could have done is get a real rapper to do the rapping part. And the random inclusion of a pie in the face was out of place. And their ultra big smiles and happiness were obviously faked.
Gotta go with MacDaddy - if nothing except for the fact that he somehow managed to find a Weird Al Yankovich outfit in 2009.
Like the majority, my vote is going to Credit MacDaddy. Old white guys shouldn't try to rap ever, unless it's certain parody master who's loves to write songs about food.
I feel like a lone voice in the wilderness.
Hey, we all respect you for your independent spirit.
Credit MacDaddy is by far the worst. Doctor credit is trying to be bad in a funny, campy way, and it sort of works. Credit MacDaddy is trying to be funny in a really really bad way that doesn't work at all.
Credit MacDaddy, nuff said :D
it has to be macdaddy. while doctor credit is incredibly trashy, i also thought it was kind of funny. the first one just made me shake my head. the incredibly enthusiastic customers, the pie moment, the dancing... god no
down with macdaddy
