I enjoyed those desperation ads for consolidation loans and payday loans that appeared about the 2010 period, before the rules were tightened up. Hoardes of people humiliating themselves such as the "I'm retired, where do I get a loan?" old man who comes up against a Beechers Brook sized obstacle preventing him from getting owned for life. The best of these was that woman sat on a stool who said "They don't try to babble you with science or whatever". Oh - and those "Picture" loan ads - During the call he whispers "How much do we need" and she replied "twenty five thousand" - why not make it a round fifty? They don't make 'em like that any more.
