Hump Day Diversion: Eagle Man!

Yesterday, we brought you a trio of cute, cuddly, and funny insurance commercials. But reader "augustkl" took umbrage with our calling the ads the greatest ad campaign of all time, suggesting, instead, that the title was held by the locally produced Eagle Man commercials. After looking at these three ads, we think he may be on to something. Like a John Waters movie crossed with Sesame Street on meth, the Eagle Man commercials make the Empire jingle sound like Tchaikovsky.

More after the jump.

Sadly, Mancow survived his injuries.

I heard tell back in the day that the young ladies in these ads were hired out of strip clubs. Though, frankly, I think strippers would be better actresses.


Oh I miss those Eagle commercials. "I've got something for yooooooooou!" "Bonnngg!"

You need to dig up some of the awesome old "Moo & Oink" commercials.

Good lord, that third commercial is kind of disturbing. I mean smoke? Really? I never did understand how a male eagle was capable of laying eggs.

I've never dropped acid, and now I don't have to.

Eagle Man rocked!

Moved back to Chicagoland a year and a half ago. Almost dropped my mug when I saw the commercial for Victory Auto Wreckers still playing. Only thing that changed from the 80's is including the area code to call. Classic.
