It thrills us that the original cast of “Ghostbusters” is coming back for the third installment of the franchise. Although, they’ll be playing the sage mentors to a younger crop of Ghostbusters. What really concerns us is that after the first “Ghostbusters” came out, there was a flood of cheesy local TV commericals for small businesses using their own version of the popular “Ghostbusters” song. We pray it doesn’t happen again. How bad were they? Bad! Here are The 7 Worst ‘Ghostbusters’ Commerical Parodies.
7. “Tires Plus”
This one just smells like local cable television. You know the workers at this tire store thought of themselves as celebrities. Sorry guys, but this tire ad falls flat. How do we come up with these great lines?
6. Couch Busters
This is a PSA from the GetUpAndDoSomething.org. In an effort to deal with childhood obesity, they’re reminding kids of “Ghostbusters.” Instead of going outside, they may just take out that “Ghostbusters” DVD and watch that on their couch for a few hours. Brilliant! How about Get Up And Do Something BETTER.org.
5. Russian Busters
This is an ad for a Russian police force. No matter what language it is, it’s still cheesy. We stamp this one: From Russia With Cheese!
4. 118 Commercial
This is an ad in Europe using Ray Parker Jr. for a phone service. Hey, the man has to make money. Best line: “I ain’t afraid of no goat.”
3. Pyle Law
This is for a law firm called Pyle Law. We hope they put more of an effort into their cases than they do into their commercials. Take a look…they’re not even trying. We find you guilty of bad parody!
2. Turd Busters
Oh, those plumbers. They must have laughed for a good three seconds when they came up with this idea. The only turds we actually saw were the guys on camera. We kid, of course. No offense to the actual turds.
1. Carpet Mart
What makes this so sad is that the guy in the commercial is really into it. There must have been rehearsals and meetings and production notes and then… this is the finished product. Perhaps you should leave the carpet business and go into vacuum cleaners because you suck. Didn’t see that one coming, did you?
