Well I was shopping for a new car, which one's me? A cool convertible or an S.U.V. Too bad I didn't know my credit was whack. Now I'm drivin' of the lot in a used sub-compact. F-R-E-E, that spells free Credit Report dot com, baby. Saw their ads on my T.V. Thought about going but was too lazy Now instead of lookin' fly and rollin' phat, My legs are stickin' to the vinyl and my posse's gettin' laughed at F-R-E-E, that spells free Credit Report dot com, baby. This is what I was going to post.

I think the chronological order is:
- Marriage - Restaurant - Car
Here's my theory, because of his wife's poor credit, he has to work at the seafood restaurant to make extra money and then he goes to buy a car.

The second ones kinda weird. He would rather be lonely in the boring suburbs then have a girlfriend/wife.
Oh and the third ones stupid, because thats like crappy easy 80s rap. You know how back in the 80s everyone tried to rap, but it was always the most basic one syllable rhymes that ANYONE can do. The kind that takes no talent to come up with it. And yes alot of rap does require talent. 4 minutes of constant rapping with like 5 syllable words every 2 seconds. Amazing how they do that. Free styling a whole nother story. Thats just incredible.
The commercial marketing through, no matter how annoying, is real good. Just like the BK ones...

I have to say the 'dreamgirl' one is my favorite, because it's a catch tune.

Actually, you do get a free credit report, but you also have to sign up for the Triple Advantage thing in the process. You have one month to cancel your subscription to it, or they'll charge you thirty dollars a month. I'd hate to be part of their customer service team.

Maybe he is working in that restaurant because he has so much debt he had to take on a second job? Also, the songs are awesome. I thought he took the extra job because he couldn't cut it as a singer

The funny thing is, if you write to the three credit reporting bureaus, you can get a free copy of your credit report once a year. Just stagger them out every four months.

OK, here's my take:
The one where he's working in a restaurant is probably because he needs to make extra money to pay off the debt from the identity theft. That one makes sense.
The one where he ends up buying a hoopdi doesn't make sense. Your credit has to be completely smurfed not to get a car loan. Perhaps he did't want a higher rate so he settled for the hoodi but he made it clear he couldn't get a car loan which is pretty much false.
Now, the one where he marries a girl who didn't pay off 1 credit card is crap as well. All she has to do is contact the creditor and settle the account and her credit report would mark it as settled which is a plus and the only mark would be her being slow to pay it. My wife and I were able to buy a house under similar circumstances. That said, they can still rent a decent townhouse or apartment.
Then there's the ones where he's working as a server at a party for a rapper of some kind and the really dumb one on the bikes. These 2 I don't get.

Why the Hell would you need a credit check to buy a bike anyway? Use some cash numnuts.

Why the Hell would you need a credit check to buy a bike anyway? Because a 35% down payment on a Huffy is murder.

Complaining about being a waiter? Jesus, can't he just know his role and shut his mouth?

I like the latest commercial. That song is groovy. And at least this guy found a woman to marry him. Even if he is living with her parents. I'd happily accept that if I could.

I have no clue what you all will think of this (and personally I don't think its one of his better ones), but this is my little brother's Youtube Poop version of the commercials: [language warning]

I liked the first song, didn't dig the second two, but the third one where he's a server is winning me over. It's a little too catchy.
