TurboTax Used an Orlando Scandrick Eagles Highlight in a Commercial
Published:
Didn’t see this live, but I noticed grumbling on social media during the Packers/Seahawks game last night.
Turbotax, it would seem, is running a series of commercials highlighting the NFL’s “best returns of the year,” and the clip they used for this ad featured Orlando Scandrick in an Eagles uniform, the strip sack and touchdown he pulled off in the Jets game.
Here’s the 30 second clip that made Eagles fans roll their eyes:
It actually was a great play, even if came against Luke Falk and the Jets.
But Turbotax must be unaware that Eagles fans hate this guy for going on Undisputed and talking a bunch of nonsense. Or maybe the person in charge of making the commercial is a Dallas Cowboys fan and he or she is just trolling.
This was a sampling of the annoyance:
Why is there a commercial with Orlando Scandrick bum ass in an Eagles Jersey!

I don’t think that commercial for Turbo Tax realizes that everyone in Philly hates Orlando Scandrick

Is Turbo Tax full of idiots?! Did they really think a commercial showing Orlando Scandrick making a play was the BEST Eagles highlight to show in their commercial??!? Good Lord. Some TV commercial-maker is out of touch.

This is a good opportunity for H&R Block to up their marketing in the Delaware Valley and take advantage. Slide in there and steal some customers.
