Now that #AI voiceovers are seemingly everywhere, most TV commercials now sound like AI-generated #slop to me and my brain tunes them out completely.

Advertisers are going to have to go full #CrazyEddie if they ever hope to get my attention nowadays. Or maybe some good #JoeIsuzu…

For those who missed out on the Crazy Eddie TV commercials (which is referenced by the "Crazy Donnie" sign in the photo), they were mesmerizing and a thing to behold like no other commercial of that era in the New York metropolitan area. Crazy Eddie went bankrupt after committing massive retail #fraud.

Reading Gary Weiss's very good book "Retail Gangster", about the Crazy Eddie chain of electronics stores, made me think about many other unusual shops that have existed, or still exist today.

Stores I Struggle to Explain in 2024

I recently read Gary Weiss’s very good 2022 book Retail Gangster, about Crazy Eddie, a discount retailer that was well-known in New York for its high-pressure sales staff and its screaming commercials touting its “insane!” prices. When I’ve tried to discuss the book and the business with people who are younger or not from the New York metropolitan area, though, I felt like I was speaking a foreign language. Crazy Eddie, and other stores like it, changed the retail world for people interested in consumer electronics, but today, consumers expect to be treated better — and they usually are.

This needs to be a movie
#CrazyEddie
"Almost from the beginning, Crazy Eddie engaged in fraudulent business practices, including under-reporting income, skimming sales taxes, and paying employees off the books. These practices, in conjunction with aggressive sales tactics, enabled Crazy Eddie to significantly undercut competitors and grow rapidly. During the process of going public, Crazy Eddie continued to engage in fraud, over-reporting profits, inflating inventory and duping auditors. Unable to sustain his fraudulent business practices, co-founder Eddie Antar cashed in millions of dollars' worth of stock and resigned from the company in December 1986."
