[TheDestructiveSquirrel]

I always got excited when crossing the border from Ontario and seeing their billboards in Buffalo after seeing the commercials all the time

 

[Infernostew]

RIP. If we're going old school... 800-626-2020

[EvilChameleon]

I remember these commercials from my time watching Sabres games.

 

[DrWangerBanger]

Lived in Rochester my whole childhood then moved to Syracuse and those commercials were so ubiquitous i still remember them over a decade later. Almost as memorable as Jim the Hammer Shaprio's commercials.

 

[TheGhost]

Now the song is stuck in my head

 

[Nilson]

Omg

 

[NDA-Man]

Born & raised in Buffalo, so I grew up with those ads. I had no clue they were so ubiquitous until I went to New York for a business training seminar, and what greeted me in Brooklyn, but a billboard of them.

 

[Phoenixazure]

I know the duo broke up recently.now i think it's just Celino posing with puppies and recommending out of the way delis to shop local.

still that sucks. Gonna be weird seeing those commercials on NY1 during work

 

[MrNewVegas]

Living in Ontario and getting Buffalo FOX I would always see their ads. RIP.

RIP

In my neck of the woods, we always had Richard Schwartz ("One Call, that's all!)

Also was just talking last week to an acquaintance who works for the FAA, and he straight up said to never get in someone's personal plane. When a crash happens, it's always a private citizen with a license who experienced some sort of maintenance issue and then panicked on how to handle it. My old town lost a handful of well-loved dentists under those circumstances.

 

[maruchan]

Is he the east coast version of Larry h Parker?

 

[LuciusAxelrod]

Been seeing their commercials since their phone number was just 854-2020. When I moved downstate and saw their ads here, I freaked out. I hadn't realized how big they had gotten.

There's just been like little pieces of their commercials on like Twitter and YouTube clips filming TVs, they're even a meme I think?

 

[Archduke Kong]

Jesus Christ, what a horrifying way to go out... that's awful.

 

[mbpm]

I don't know where I heard their jingle, but I instantly thought of it

 

[ned_ballad]

They were such an institution in Rochester! I can't believe it

 

[NSA]

Don't wait, dial 8!

[Anonymous Tipster]

If you're hurt in a car, you should call William Mattar!

RIP Barnes. He was the one who didn't go to jail, right?

 

[Kmonk]

I'm I lifelong west coast resident, and even I've hear of these guys from streaming Yankees games.

RIP

 

[mbpm]

Man this is hitting me and I don't know why. That damn jingle

 

[nintendoman58]

Yeah, in Cali, it's The Barnes Firm, Injury Attorneys, call 1-800-8...million.

 

[platocplx]

Damn RIP

 

[Pachinko]

Back in my TV watching days , I'd check out some animation domination from Fox Rochester and I'd get their ad with 888-8888 and immediately afterwards "hurt in a car ? Call Dave atar - 444-4444" I laughed pretty solidly because it felt like I was watching a real life Tim and Eric bit. Anyway RIP

 

[davepoobond]

Oh man. This one hurts as far as personal injury attorneys go.

 

[krae_man]

Wow that sucks. His and William Mattar's commercials ran non stop on WUTV Fox 29. Simpsons was on at I think 5 and 5:30 and the commercial breaks were littered with these.

They advertised on LA TV forever. Was jarring when they split up and the number changed.

 

[Deleted member 14377]

Hurt in a car? Call william matar

44444444444444444444444

 

[BarcaTheGreat]

Living in Toronto and watching Fox meant there was no escaping their commercial
RIP

 

[TreeMePls]

I always swear that they had a different number that I heard in the jingle rather than the current one.

Generations of Southern Ontarians grew up on Buffalo TV. Their stations had a different selection of cartoons and syndicated shows than our local stations.
