A home for those who love almost everything about The Ticket (1310 AM, 96.7 FM, Dallas-Fort Worth), and who would like to discuss -- respectfully and fondly -- their thoughts on how (and whether) to eliminate the "almost."

Is it Fair to The Ticket to PO on Those Execrable Comerica Ads Where the Pretend BusinessBroad Recites Terrible Ad Copy While Trying, and Completely Failing, to Make it Sound Ex Tempore and Genuine by Pausing, Throwing in Some "Uhs," and Inserting Gratuitous "You Knows"?
I HATE THAT F'N SPOT WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am seriously considering starting a petition to have it removed. Perhaps a 20k + e-petition sent to Comerica will get them to pull the damn thing? The f'n shake voice while letting you know she and her 'partner' aren't wealthy, that they wouldn't dream of having something as vulgar as a 'fancy' or 'expensive' car and/or vacation, makes me want to vomit.
After we get rid of this piece of crap spot, we can move onto the Draft Kings ad. The one that has the douche with the Pats jersey, backwards hat, bleached teeth, who keeps pawing his face. After that, that damn rum or whatever spot with the ultimate NYC rich kid hipster f wad with the most moronic white guy fro wearing the f suit with the wise, elderly, African-American male advising him on how to be even more of a f wad--by getting loaded and jumping and humping on some unsuspecting chick like a rabbit on LSD.
Ya know, a lot of people PO on the Progressive ads, but they've never really bothered me.
The "I wouldn't say we're RICH" lady, though...>>shudder<<
Yeah, I'm out. I actually change the station or rage quit the radio entirely when that one comes on. I usually don't bail in time, though, because it's the FIRST DAMN THING out of her mouth.
OMG, the 3 PM cross talk voices (like I can tell who's who) just scoffed at people who fly their flags on Labor Day because they think it's a day to support the troops.
This is the future of the Ticket - and the country.
I agree with ALL of the above. My nemesis is the American Leak Detection ad where the guy goes "UGH OOOOOHHHHH its Will Knell with American Leak Detection....then its GUYS, GUYS PLEASE explain yourselves!! Ive heard this ad a 1000 x's and I still can't figure out what this commercial is about. Does anybody else???
The A#1 Air ads whip my ass every time. They are the corniest ads ever!!!! I happen to see one of their vans and James and Sherry Green are pictured LARGELY on the side of it. They must READ those ad copies in ONE take....cause thats just how it sounds!
I can tell you with 100% guarantee there will never be on red cent from my bank account to Geico or Progressive. (Flo - the first fifty iterations of your commercials were (mildly) funny. Now that we are on the 100th + iteration I just can't take the mind beating. Geico - see the prior two sentences.)
I did not serve in the South Pacific (but my dad did, RIP), I was not on a shuttle mission to save the earth, and I will never lease / but a car from Reagor Dykes (sp?).
Diamond Dr, however, I would probably visit but I will never be at that stage of my life again.
@Anon 3:06 - I did not hear the cross talk but I assume they were all JV'ers? Someone needs to tell those asswipes that everyday is a good day to fly Old Glory. My neighborhood out here in lonely East Texas is 50% flags in the yard. (As I write this kinda ashamed that mine is not one of them.) (Correction: Really ashamed.)
re: Anon 3:06 The flag out on Labor Day isn't because we think its a natl holiday you idiot bro hosts. Look around, any Labor Day parade in the metro has thousands of flag waving 'mericans. Chambers of Commerce plant flags throughout communities on Labor Day. It's a National Holiday for God's sake. Shut up Jake.
Never thought I'd see it, and no offense to Mr. Plainsman, but this comment section has become way more negative than The Ticket Reddit. I mean, you have to look hard to find anything positive about The Ticket here. At times, I think instead of it saying "Post Comments Here" it should just be "Post Complaints Here."
And before anyone says, "Well, just go to the Reddit then, dumbass," I would like to ask why come here time and time again and spew vitriol on a station that you listen to daily? If it's so goddamn bad, why listen at all?
Some criticism I see is warranted, I've got my problems with some shows and personalities, but good Lord, throw The Ticket a bone every once in a while.
So good to hear Troy Aikman aka 8 Ball back on The Chicken. His interviews are great. He has HSO's and he doesn't suck. He doesn't give generic answers because he's afraid of ruffling feathers. His comments about DeMarco Murray and The Patriots this morning were fantastic.
So much better than any of the guests or interviews on 12-3.
no but you'd think after all these yrs of scamming the masses that the A#1 air chick could have learned to read

Do a Twitter search of 'I wouldn't say we're rich'. Everyone, across the country, hates that ad.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm glad I don't listen to any commercials during my ticket listening experience.
ReplyDeleteThe "I wouldn't say we are rich" line is the wealth equivalent to "I have lots of black friends"....sure you do buddy....
DeleteI fly Old Glory every day of the year.
ReplyDeleteIs the Norm and Donnie intro beating anyone else into submission?
@712 - Wow. Well done, Twitter.
ReplyDeleteSOUL POLE's intro is a complete whip! too freaking slow.
ReplyDeleteI want to donkeypunch the "Why do I have so much energy? why?!?!?" Chick. That ad is intolerable.
ReplyDeleteC'mon, I think it's funny.

In that case, I wonder what percent of people fly the flag on MLK day vs Labor Day.

Ticket Deep Throat Informant is still a top 5 8:40 bit. Absolutely hillarious.
