Irregardless, Don Davis is an Indianapolis legend! To answer a question in a previous comment, sadly Don is no longer with us having passed away in 2016.
When the Bedroom One commercial came on, without thinking, I sang the “waterbed specialists” lyric. Man, that commercial played so much. I love seeing these local commercials from my childhood.
Nice selection of commercials from my hometown! Also, bunk beds for $69? Nice. However, Bedding Liquidators closed down years ago, which is not as nice.
I live in Richmond where Tom Raper's RV store is located. He has a building named after him at Indiana University East. That Don guy STILL does gun commercials, even though he is as old as Earth itself. He STILL includes that creepy motto too.
LOL I had to watch the gun commercial twice because the first I could have sworn he said "join my rage" then the second time he said "join my range" either way it's creepy
"I just love to sell guns" complete w/ creepy laugh? WTF?! Plus, Don f/ Don's Guns looks like Harry f/ "Harry & the Hendersons" good lord, how many mattresses & RV's do these advertisers think we need?! I've been to Tom Raper's. It's a pretty cool place. I miss when Taco Bell had fajitas & Hardee's had twist soft serve. Now all anyone serves is vanilla. Matchmaker International. LOL the pleats on those Gitano jeans were RIGHTEOUS there were some pretty epic mullets in this volume
USOs -- Unreported Stain Objects Sons of Scarface -- Geraldo needed to save face after his little vault fiasco! Jackson St. guy is dancing with mannequin at 5:43 Tom Raper's Complex! Sure, come on down! SWEET! Don's Guns!!!!! If you ever watch those "Best TV Commercials" on the major networks sometimes he's always on them. One special featured his ad with his oversized Ronald Reagan head saying "He just loves to sell guns" (zing)
I have a suspicious feeling that Don...of Don's Guns...has killed before...and now I'm afraid he is gonna kill me for having that feeling...is he still alive? lol
Omg I forgot how 'mom' jeans were fashionable back then!!! The high waist and the hem above your ankles! Boy we youngsters were a snazzy bunch, by george! Although...i was 9 and got my ps gitano's at Sears in the pretty plus section for fat kids...
Commercials from my neck of the woods!! Yes!

This aired on my 4th birthday on one of my local stations.

I hope ol Don is still in business
He died in 2016. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Davis_(gun_retailer)
I believe his flagship store in Indianapolis is still in business.
" I just looooooooooooooooove to sell guns.. he he he he he he he" *grin*. That dude scares me lol
I knew him growing up. He was a fascinating human being and an absolute riot at golf outings.
Speechless. For real.
Don was a real one. I dont think he's with us any longer unfortunately

"Everyone I know is getting their Gitanos at Wal-Mart." That's the ONLY place I bet still sells them today.
Don is amazing (if slightly terrifying)!
"I just luuuuuve to sell guns!" Great, I'll be having nightmares tonight.
Don of Don's Gun was always CREEPY! I can not count how many times I heard people say that when I was a kid
Don's guns have done alot of other crazy advertisments. wonder if they are still in business?
I miss having a Hardees around where I live.
If Herman Munster says Hardees ice cream cones are good, they must be good.
LOL I had to watch the gun commercial twice because the first I could have sworn he said "join my rage"
then the second time he said "join my range"
either way it's creepy
yes they are . Someone just tried to rob one, and the robber was shot and killed.
That guy on the gun commercial was creepy. He had the laugh of a shyster. lol
