Learn the lore behind the Internet's most famous bankrupted appliance chain mascot.
This is not every ad HH has been in. The website for the people behind the campaign, Hinge, mentions there are at
...
least 34 TV spots featuring HH. Some have presumably never been uploaded online; others have been online, but lost due to people privating or deleting videos. If anyone has more ads not seen in this compilation, let me know, and if I get enough I'll make a second part.
Some fun facts about HH:
- HH was created by Zimmerman Advertising and Hinge Digital.
- HH is voiced by Wally Wilbert, a voice actor and memorabilia collector who has done work in many other ads as well as TV shows and other stuffs.
- According to the old hhgregg website, HH was used in ads between early 2009 and May of 2011.
- Initial reaction to HH was negative, with people complaining about how annoying he was, especially regarding the Red Tag Sale and Christmas In July ads. This probably still holds true.
- The images printed on HH are slightly inconsistent - earlier ads use graphics of a TV with a baseball theme, while later ads use TVs showing an image of an hhgregg building.
- The song used in some of the ads, as well as various other hhgregg ads, is a shortened version of "Love Generation" by Bob Sinclair.
- Several "lost" ads featuring HH include an American Football themed one and an After Thanksgivings Day ad.
