“Your home is under constant threat.”

On this lazy Sunday it seems appropriate that we continue with our home improvement commercial theme. First, you’ll enjoy a humor-tinged spot for the Weed Eater yard trimmer. Yes, Weed Eater. Great name.

I recognize both of the character actors in the Weed Eater spot. I wish I could tell you their names.

After that, take in a commercial for Wells Fargo as they attempt to frighten you into buying their home safety products. Both spots aired in 1979. Kaboom!
