Life Alert Commercial
I’ve always found the Life Alert. commercials hilarious, but this latest ad had me laughing hysterically when I saw it on TV this past weekend. It seems like Life Alert has been around for ages and even their recent ads seems like they were shot in the mid-eighties. I always get a chuckle when I see the guy with super wavy 80′s hair manning the phones back at Life Alert HQ.
However, this latest ad (which might have been out for a while, I don’t know) showcases some new features, one of which is video surveillance. In the ad, when a woman notifies Life Alert that someone may be in her home, the Life Alert representative switches on video surveillance of the living room and does his best Wizard of Oz impression by telling the intruders, “YOU HAVE BEEN DETECTED! LEAVE NOW!”. Amazingly, the intruders kindly oblige the unseen yet frightening voice and the woman is left to continue getting ready for her circa 1985 dinner party.
I wonder what they’ll think of next? Maybe they’ll develop a Life Alert teleportation feature that will bring their entire advertising department into the modern era.
That is HILARIOUS! Thanks for the post.
No problem, Kevin. I just watched the video again and I’m still laughing! What a great way to start my day.
I was very surprised you didn’t mention that this grey haired guy is the VERY SAME GUY in the Extenze penis pill commercial, the one with the guy sitting next to his wife and he says “I’m really not interested in making it LARGER”, which translates to “I’m already hung”. I wonder what the good old folks at Life Alert would think about this porn actor doing their commercials.
you have been detected…
What crack me up the most is the thought that someone could be watching you at any time of the day, and what appears is that each house has its own “watcher”.. or maybe it was just coincidence that they saw the lady who had fell off her ladder?
This is life alert… scram!!! …seriously guys… i’m not screwing around… leave.. or i’ll.. i’ll… uh… shit, someone call the real cops.
The Life Alert commercial that say: “IF YOU HAVE A HEART ATTACK LIKE “i” DID………like she’s the only one in the world etc.
The acctress that says that is an old time actress. Anyone know her name?
The other one is: “I HAD A HEART ATTAK RIGHT OVER THERE”, (I don’t care Where……………..eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww
