AAG "I know what you're thinking"...


AAG has put a new reverse mortgage commercial out with Tom.

I love how it starts with his signature "I know what you're thinking"... narration from Magnum P.I.

I just saw one of these commercials, and all I can say is, "Noooooooooooo!!!"

Why, Tom, WHY??

You're not in the same position as other shill-meisters for this company. You have a steady day job, a good gig. Surely you don't need the money??

And by the way, I've heard that reverse mortgages are not as wonderful and hunky-dory as these ads claim, so... again: WHY???

I just liked the "I know what you're thinking"....line, that's why I shared. 

To be honest, I didn't think of the connection of that line with Magnum until you mentioned it. I know I watched Magnum, back in the day, but not religiously, and certainly not recently, so the quote didn't really stick in my mind. But you're right, though, I now remember that he'd say that occasionally. In fact, I find it interesting that Magnum 'narrated' his episodes, to a degree. Kind of unusual, both then and now. 

Yes, he tended to break the 4th wall too, which is also rare, but it worked.... for me anyways.

Why trust the word of a guy who was allegedly swiping water during the drought in California to water his lawns?



I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

Hewwo.

It wasn't his lawn; it was his avocados. (He owns a ranch.) Additionally, he wasn't swiping water; he paid for a water delivery service which chose to use the wrong water. Selleck was exonerated.

He didn't really know what I was thinking. According to Celebrity Net Worth on Google, good old Tom is 71 years old and worth $25 million.
So reverse mortgage ? Nope I don't think so. I was thinking of asking him for a loan LOL.

reply

He only paid after he got caught. Typical privelidged elitist Hollywood jerk.
