Once again, Rhett and Link have taken downtrodden business owners and given them an incredible viral ad that shows their true colors. Here, Robert Lee tells it like it is: "These ain't mansions, they've got stains, and they come in two pieces." Go ahead and buy one of his trailers, or don't. This one-handed-chainsawing tough guy does not care.

That was a great commercial. I do not need one, but if I did I would buy from you Mr I have had my butt kicked sales guy.
What's so terrible about manufactured housing?
"Ask an underwriter. The economic life of a manufactured home is finite, unlike a "stick built" home. I've seen loans written on houses from 1680 in New England. Show an underwriter a doublewide more than 20 years old - unless all that's left is the undercarriage... and they run! A manufactured house is like a car. Eventually, no matter how well you maintain it , it has to be replaced.
This is a picture of the future our government (the corporate oligarchy) wants for the American populace--- all of us in trailers, poor, uneducated, and worshiping Jesus.
Alabama joke.
What do an ex-wife and a tornado have in common?
They both get the trailer ;~)
REAL unemployment is DOUBLE the 'official' statistics. Government has been playing major games with all stats for a while now - both parties are to blame.

Also Barney Frank sucks.
I like it. It's an honest portrayal of what life is really like for many people in the so-called richest country in the world. We must see the world for what it is. A little bit of humor helps the medicine go down.
I'm not so sure this Commercial was made merely to be humorous even though it may come across that way. I think this is what you'd really get if you had Corporations and Companies making commercials that were honest sans the smoke and mirrors. We as consumers are so used to getting commercials full of lies and sanitized for our edification that we don't even recognize one that is just telling it like it is. The humor in this one was sardonic more than anything else.
If people would buy smaller more modest site built homes, they wouldn't get in over their heads
In the USA, it's supersize me! Quantity over quality.
In my county I have to have a 1500 sq ' home as a minimum. 1800 sq ' if I am in a residential subdivision. And that is living space not any attached garages.
Screws up the replacement insurance as I have to insure for a bigger house than what I have......
Which in the case of homes is more a question of ego than anything else. See what I've got folks, I live in a Mansion and that means I make more money than you do.
What's so terrible about manufactured housing?
They're inexpensive, their interiors are much nicer than one world expect, you can upgrade them up to blend in with the neighborhood, and they're not as bad as one would expect.
Hardly what one would call trailer trash.
Although it really depends on what you're looking at, and who the manufacturer is, but to an extent, I agree with you that there is pre-manufactured housing out there that is really nice. I've seen what are essentially triple-wide and 2-storey pre-manufactured housing that, depending on the region, could cost 1/2 that of standard-construction, and go up in 1/3 the time, if even that.
I've also seen trailers that were sub-standard housing. People deserve better.
Indeed now you can go 16 ft wide and have drywall interiors and built to a federal standard.
Bad thing now is in a 'park' you only lease the space, and it's not too easy in most places to place then on lots that one own's, still a lotta 'discrimination' in that respect.
now that is some funny ...it right there
Come in two pieces. Easier to split the assets after the divorce.
LOL! Is this for real?
I think it's sad.
Better than the mentality that got the housing crisis started in the first place, when everyone thought they could actually live in a mansion, well beyond their means.
Laugh all you want. I have a 1500 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 baths, with 1 and a half acres of land in rural area of Tn. We paid $32,000.00 for it 15 yrs ago. We paid $520.00 a month. As of last month it is paid in full. Yes it isn't a mansion. My son lives in the house and we live next door in a smaller home that has 12 acres of land and its paid for to. Yes this house needs allot of work but its paid for. So while everyone is having hard times we are getting a little breathing room. We bought a house on my husband's salary only. We could have gotten a more expensive house with basing it on 2 salaries. But we didn't do that and thank god we didn't. I ended up having to quit work because of my health. But laugh all you want but its all ours.
i would do the same but not anywhere east of the Rockies due to tornadoes!
you're awesome southernyankeebelle.
I wouldn't laugh at you. Sounds like you folks have been thinking. The Misses and I have lived the same way for years. Makes all kinds of sense to me.
same old same old. stock market surging. more job loss. no heath care reform. no extension of unemployment benefits. more old cr4p.

If you do buy a home from this guy make sure you don't park it in Tornado corridor.
