Best Commerical Icon

Andy Howard Pest Control

As with film, we usually find that no-budget, local commercials have far more impact than their glitzy, agency-produced cousins. The haunting harmonies of the jingle for Body-Tek Collison Repair ("If you have a wreck, take it to Body-Teeeeeek ... ") still occasionally get stuck in our heads, years after the spot left the airwaves. And who can, who will ever forget the face of Andy Howard Pest Control's poster boy bug man and his chilling mantra "Kill Your Bugs. Kill Your Bugs. Kill Your Bugs."? As the camera zooms in on his sweaty snarl, we say: Forget the chemicals, is this face not enough to ward off any living creature? Much scarier than Gary Coleman, and that's saying a lot.
