My Orkin Commercial!

March 9, 2010 |  by Brooke Tansley

No, the bug was not CGI. It was there, and it was juicy. We shot this spot pretty close to the Brady Bunch house, which brings me to a video recently released by my Upright Citizens Brigade sketch comedy team, The Space Program. I’m Cindy Brady.

Strange that I got hired to do an Orkin spot just a couple of months after they took such good care of us. We were thrilled with the work that Orkin did on our house, and it was a reliable and affordable $2225. The purchase agreement when we bought the house stated that the seller was to have the termite work done. Well, no work was done and it’s doubtful that the termite company that they ‘hired’, Commitment Exterminators, even exists. The house bolting team told us that it had been at least 10 years since any termite folk had treated anything down there.

We try to support small businesses as much as possible, but with certain professions where criminals run rampant (movers, contractors, mechanics, etc.) it’s just less risky to go to the big guy.
