And That's Why I Wear One Too!

There's one commercial in my opinion that should win an award. I feel this way for several reasons. First, the acting/ personal testimonies are better than 99.9% of all other commercials. Second, it's one of the longest running commercials in the U.S. It was first aired in 1987 and continues to this day. Third, no matter how many times I see it, it's always humorous. Fourth, a former U.S. Attorney is featured. Okay, so it may be obviously outdated, but it's still a great commercial. 

Did you figure out which commercial it is?

It's the Life Alert commercial!

Many people's favorite part of the commercial is when an elderly woman exclaims, "I've fallen and I can't get up!" Although it is a good part, and the beginning to the catch phrase, it is not my favorite part. My favorite part is towards the end when another elderly woman states, "All senior citizens should have Life Alert!" I don't know why, but I love that lady. She has such conviction and zeal. I love it. I love her! I wish it were possible to have another grandmother because I want her to be my grandmother.

My little brother and I's favorite is the Hoveround commercials. "Hi I'm Tom Cruise. Inventor of hoveround."

Or "You can take it anywhere. Even the grand canyon!" [insert old person scooting up to the edge of the grand canyon]

Gets me everytime.
