Do you have 3 ex-wives & your current trophy wife wants…..

[Dr. T is an alien]

I heard an absolute bonkers radio ad this morning that I am 55% sure is a real ad. It went something like this:

“Do you have 3 ex-wives and your current trophy wife wants you to get a life insurance policy worth more than 3 times the policies that you got to appease your previous mistakes? Call Big Lou! Big Lou knows just what you are going through! If you are a man, 50-60 years old and in reasonably good health, Big Lou can set you up with a life insurance policy worth $1M for as little as $100/month! He can probably do something about your older policies too! Call Big Lou! He’s just like you, only he just on #2!”

That made me chuckle all morning.

I’m thinking those Big Lou ads might be national. When I read the thread title I was going to chime in by mentioning another ad. I’m almost positive that it’s Big Lou too, but maybe they’re regionalized or I haven’t heard the one you mentioned yet or something. The one here is something like, “Are you a male, 50 years or older and maybe a little porky? Are you pre-diabetic or even already living with diabetes? Big Lou understands and you may still qualify for health insurance at a competitive rate. Call Big Lou. He has diabetes too.”

But for goofy radio ads, nothing beats Top Dog Law on the local hip hop stations:

I imagined the ad in Lou Albano's voice.

I've definitely heard a bunch of Big Lou ads, I have Sirius XM in my car and that ad and several other Big Lou spots play frequently. They're all pretty bonkers if I remember them correctly.

Yeah Big Lou ads have been on for a long time. I haven't had Sirius in my car, outside of free trials, for nearly a decade and I distinctly remember them playing. Really gave the GTA vibe.

Honestly, I had to double check that I hadn’t accidentally changed the channel over to the Bob & Tom show. They occasionally run fake ads but I don’t know if they still do since their resident impressionist passed away last year. My favorite of those were the “ads” for Dicken’s brand ciders.

“Has your wife been in a bad mood lately? You can improve her mood by helping her get a big Dicken’s Cider!”
