This is the 'bad late night commercial' guy I remember most 'fondly'.

The commercial would open with Austin staring into the camera just about as deadpan as you can get:

"Hi I'm Austin! (slight pause) Agron!" (2 second pause - then clasp hands to chest in the 'at your service gesture')
"And this is Bargain Center Furniture! (2 second pause - then spread arms wide to indicate the showroom he is standing in).
Then manically assert all the great deals on lounge suites, beds, tables, chairs, etc, etc, etc.
Finally, (usually) "We even have lamps!" (slight pause, then pick up a lamp and drop it smashing it on the floor)
"Oh well, that's a ganga!"

Unfortunately, these commercials all seem to have run on KZAZ channel 11 (now Fox 11 I think?) that was too cheap to maintain an archive and periodically wiped their tapes for reuse - so the video is not available anywhere. They also broadcast the University of Arizona Basketball games and wiped all those tapes as well. Many people are really pissed off that there is no film of the Fred Snowden's Kiddie Korps in existence.

That's a Ganga!
