why are they laughing?
Clark wants to know what the Bay City Plywood guys are laughing about. So he emailed Ask a Tampan:
What’s the deal with the Bay City Plywood guys?
Every one of their commercials features them shouting about plywood and ends with the three of them laughing to the point where they’re doubled over in hysterics.
I’ve lived here for over 20 years and I don’t recall there ever being a joke. Was there one at some point?
Those guys have been laughing on local tv for decades. In fact, if you visit the Bay City Plywood website, you’ll hear ‘em laughing there too.
As far as I know, there is no joke. It’s just a gimmick to help you remember the commercials. Apparently it works. The Bay City Plywood guys are fans of the JGLB, so next time we see them, we’ll be sure to ask.

Back home in Toledo a similar series of ads for Modern Floors ran for decades. At the corner of Secor and Alexis, just come to the intersection and yell MODERN FLOOR!!! and he’ll come out and get you!
MODERN FLOOR!!!

[...] Yes, the Bay City Plywood (watch the volume) guys have been screaming and laughing at the camera for decades. And no, Clark, we still don’t know why they are laughing. [...]
