Maytag Man

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Thanks for posting.  I saw this guy on TV in an ad for their dishwashers the other night and had meant to start a thread about him.

 

I gotta say, even though I know he's pushing re-badged Whirlpool product, I felt like buying anything he was selling.
 
Maytag Man my foot...

The little old ladies who I see on my route wouldn't put up with the 5 o'clock shadow. It is interesting how they seem to be going for the Mike Rowe image (possibly avoiding paying the price for the real thing per Whirlpool standard operating procedure...)

It almost turns my stomach (what's left of it anyway... Lol!) to see the Maytag Man pushing Whirltags... Jessie's doing a ton of rolling right now...

Thanks Glen,  He looked familiar.   "You will have to get a new one",  is easier to accept if you are distracted.

Has anyone seen the online split-side ads with the new Maytag tossing clothes?  Left side of screen is him pitching clothes, behind center content,  to his double, catching them on the right side of the screen.  Supposed to illustrate how Maytag top load washers work best with their matching dryers.  It is eye-catching to say the least and good to know he's versatile.
 
No doubt the stubble is designed to appeal to the younger females who are setting up households, not seasoned housewives with machines that are 20+ years old.

 

On line articles about the new look also point out that Maytag no longer makes any reference to the dependability that triggered the original lonely Maytag Man campaign all those years ago.  Now he's just pushing product, tagging it with, "What's inside matters." 

 

Say what you will about him not being a corn-fed boy from Newton, but if I opened up my fridge and found him inside, I'd quickly take appropriate steps to warm him up.
 
AMEN! Ralph.....

as you mention, if there is snow storm tonight, he is going on my tires!

hate him all you want....if just leaves more room for me!

besides....as the ad says....its whats inside that matters!....the uniform that is!
 
For those who missed the thread DADoES referred to, Colin Ferguson also played Sheriff Jack Carter on the series Eureka. His co-star was Ed Quinn who played Nathan Stark who ran Global Dynamics, the main employer in the town.

The actors had great chemistry and their characters were usually more concerned with each other than with whatever was going on in the show. I always hoped the writers would be bold and have them get together. Never Happened.

However, their interactions in the show provided fodder for countless Slash fan fiction stories in which those 2 characters DO get together.

I've attached a pic of Quinn. The 2 of them together? Yes, please!
