Norton Furniture Guy
His cheap commercials featuring life-sized mannequins of policemen and white tigers only make sense if you're high. And his just-inhaled-helium-and-now-I'm-talking-through-gravel voice is just a tad creepy. But apparently, the gist is: If you can't get credit at Norton Furniture, you can't get credit anywhere. That's great. Strangely, these commercials have made store owner Marc Brown a national celebrity; he was featured on MTV's viral video countdown and various late-night talk shows, not to mention YouTube, where one commercial has been viewed 153,000 times. Andy Warhol is spinning in his grave. - JR
