It seems like these weeks are flying by! We?re back again to bring you another Throwback Thursday clip of the week from Easterns Automotive Group. This commercial is special because Easterns went a different route than they normally do. They recruited NHL hockey player Alexander ?Alex? Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. He comes with an amazing track in the world of hockey. Ovechkin is the 37th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 points with just one team. His role with Easterns turned out to be a match made in heaven. Ovechkin was perfect for the commercial and definitely had so much fun while singing the Easterns jingle. For those who don?t know, Ovechkin is of Russian decent so he has a thick accent when pronouncing words in English. The pronunciation of his words along with his great sense of humor made for an awesome commercial. To this day, fans still repost this commercial on social media calling it one of their favorites. Easterns definitely has a little something for everyone!
Alfred Morris Eastern Motors Commercial
Easterns Automotive Group is back again this week with another Throwback Thursday clip of the week. In this commercial clip, Alfred Morris got his groove on and sang along with the notorious Easterns jingle. Alfred Morris played in the NFL as a running back with the Washington Redskins from 2012 until 2015. During his time playing, Easterns thought that he would make a good fit to be a part of their movement. This ended up being a smart choice because Morris was able to bring a sense of humor and fun to the Easterns brand. Most athletes don?t like to put that much flavor into their jingle and add funny dance moves but Morris did just that. He knew just how to make his commercial memorable. His impressive dance moves definitely stole the show because he made the Easterns jingle his own. The Easterns jingle commercials provide fans with a glimpse of some of their favorite players off the field. It?s hard to tell a player?s personality on the field but when you get them off the field you can see exactly who they are. People definitely enjoyed seeing Morris in another light.
Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week ? Eastern Motors Jingle Commercial w/ John Witherspoon
Easterns Automotive Group is back again with another Throwback Thursday clip of the week. Starring in the Easterns commercial this week is the one and only actor and comedian, John Witherspoon. John aka ?Pops? is most known for his roles in the Friday movies, The Wayans Bros (television show), and The Boondocks (television show). A fun fact is that John is the only person to have roles in all three of the Friday films. He has one of super funny yet distinct voices that anyone can recognize when they hear it.
We caught up with Joel Bassam (The Director of Marketing at Eastern Motors) to discuss this particular clip. ?It was only right to have John on board for the Easterns jingle. He was a perfect fit and everyone loves him. It?s evident that he added a touch of fun to the Easterns brand.?
This commercial is an example of one of the few times that Easterns branched out from their typical athlete commercials. This was definitely great to showcase another side of the brand and smart to attract a different demographic that may not have been familiar with Eastern Motors. At Eastern Motors, your job is your credit!
Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week ? Eastern Motors Jingle Commercial w/ Gilbert Gottfried and Brian Orakpo
It?s time for the Throwback Thursday clip of the week! This week, we have a throwback commercial of Gilbert Gottfried and Brian Orakpo. Gilbert Gottfried is both an actor and comedian that is most notable for his sketches on Saturday Night Live (SNL) and his roles in movies such as Problem Child, Problem Child 2, Aladdin. Beverly Hills Cop II, and Dr. Dolittle. At one point, he was also a regular on the television show Hollywood Squares. In addition, Gilbert has had several voice over roles in cartoons, television, movies, and even video games. The voice of Gilbert Gottfried is truly one of a kind so it?s only right that he come on board to have some fun with Eastern Motors. He was joined by Brian Orakpo who was playing for the Washington Redskins during the time of the shoot. These two had great chemistry on screen and gave the audience the perfect balance of funny and cool. There were nonstop laughs on set even in between filming. The Easterns jingle always allows people to loosen up, have fun, and add their own personal flavor to it.
Throwback Thursday Clip of the Week ? Eastern Motors commercial w/ Jason Campbell, Willis McGahee, Santana Moss, & Chief Zee
Over the years, Eastern Motors has been known for their various commercials and collaborations with the players of the Redskins. This particular clip was no different. In this TBT clip, Easterns introduces the now former Washington Redskins players to their audience by giving them each special nicknames. The nicknames were as follows: ?The Transformer? (Antwaan Randel El), ?The Maestro? (Jason Campbell), ?Trouble?(Willis McGahee), ?The Moss Factor ?(Santana Moss), and ?The Chief? (Chief Zee). The commercial shows all of the guys walking up and getting into cars from Eastern Motors. It was great to show that Easterns is a lifestyle and that they have vehicles of all different makes, sizes, and prices to accommodate everyone no matter your financial status. The custom Easterns jerseys worn in this clip by guys are currently framed and hanging in the Easterns Automotive Group corporate office in Sterling, VA. They will forever be a part of the Easterns history. Last year in 2016, Chief Zee passed away so the Easterns decided to post a special message for his fans, friends, and family to let them know how much he was loved, appreciated, and respected by everyone in the Easterns family.
