I've never been prouder to hail from the 708 area code than I am today

Sometimes a YouTube video comes along that makes me truly nostalgic for the type of high-quality life-improving services only available in the southwest Chicagoland area.  Jones’ CHEAP ASS Prepaid Legal and Daycare Academy: Because in today’s broke-ass society, things aren’t cheap.

In addition to top-notch molester-free daycare services, the Alsip, Ill.-based sketch comedy troupe Big Dog Eat Child also shills for Jones’ Big Ass Truck Rental & Storage (“Do you know how big a bus is?”) and Jones’ Good Ass Barbeque and Massage.

    Haha! Love it! 708 is the place to be! And Angie, Eagleman was the greatest!

    • CerberusVenting

      Yes Eagleman!!! Holy shazbot i havent thought about that in years. I went back to Chicago recently and heard a Menard’s commercial for the first time in 8 years, that and White Castle make this all the better.

  • JMB

    Epic. I want to open a franchise: Jones Cheap Ass College Diploma.

    • fancypants

      lol!

  • ecjb

    SWEET! Another shout out to Chicagoland. Along with Eagleman, don’t forget Victory Auto Wreckers and Empire Carpet. 5-8-8 2-3-hundred, Empiiire.

  • Winona

    I wish I could find the REALLY good old Empire Carpet commercials (The “Bunny Hop” one and the “Sweetheart Sale” one).

  • GB

    ecjb ohh my goodness taking me back in the day! they threw in the eight hundred-588-2300 empire TODAY!

  • haldis

    Yes Go 708! Eagleman!! all the way.

  • Yesenia

    anyone remember Handy Andy? Can’t remember if that’s just local or not but I used to go there all the time with my dad. Now it’s a bar/club.

  • Stan

    Handy Andy in Cicero has been, like, five different stores since it disappeared.

    How about Voctory Auto Wreckers, 710 E Green in Bensenville near O’Hare – oh SAD that I can remember that off the top of my head!

    • Stan

      Sorry, VICTORY Auto Wreckers

  • Mags

    Eagleman is the shiz. Also, the Moo and Oink commercials. And Andre Dawson’s Tru-Link Fence spot featuring the worst piece of acting ever. “When I hit it over the fence at Wrigley Field, I hit it over a Tru-Link Fence.”

  • Via

    Ah, there’s no town like Chitown…

  • LV

    The best thing about Victory Auto Wreckers is that in 30-some years, they have never changed their commercial! Awesome.

  • Justine

    holy cow, you guys are taking me back right now.

    *that burn out’s surprised face when his car door falls off*

    *Oh look at those low rates!*

    good times guys
