Bad Advertising on NY1 - The Grand Prospect Hall
The TV spot for The Grand Prospect Hall is really difficult to describe, which is really the only reason I haven't yet tackled it. And then it disappeared from the NY1 airwaves.
Well, it's been back with a vengeance this week, with a new version that's really just a "turd polish" (official industry term used by editors) of the version I grew to love. And thanks to YouTube, I can let it speak for itself (the version I first saw, that is).
It's great stuff. From the Klassy banquet hall to the Vivaldi music, from the poor production quality to the stiff-armed, monotone shouting at the end... I love everything about this ad.
And in my search for this version, I also came upon the classic (is it the original??) spot from 1986. They were so young! And just as Klassy...
I can't believe the missus and I didn't get hitched there. We're such idiots!

I think you should renew your vows at that fine looking establishment.
If it were me I would insist that the very loud woman perform the ceremony for that extra special touch.
I can't wait to watch this. I can't believe I didn't think to suggest this place - it's one of my favorites!
