  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

"You have problem?"


Cquote1

 Peggy: "Thank you for calling USA Prime Credit, my name Peggy."

Cquote2


Peggy is a customer service representative for USA Prime Credit, a spoof credit card company seen in series of advertisements for Discover Card. Peggy lives in Siberia, speaks with a Romanian accent and is a somewhat Affectionate Parody of people who work in call centers in countries such as India. Peggy's goal seems to be to provide you the least helpful customer service possible, by not answering your questions, giving you the run-around and refusing to deal with you directly. Further ramping up the parody, Peggy (as you can see in the page image) is a man.

Peggy is played by Tudor Petrut, an actor and writer who also works as a high school algebra teacher.

USA Prime Credit has an official website, but it is always broken.

Peggy and his commercials give examples of:[]

  • Break the Motivational Speaker: In this case, Lou Holtz: "Lost my card, need a replacement sent..." "One month." "Do you believe in yourself? I believe in you." "You inspire me! Three weeks."
  • Celebrity Endorsement: A couple of the commercials feature well-known figures in sports or entertainment calling Peggy.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Whoever runs that place enjoys screwing their customers over in various ways.
    • Not to mention their idea of a "retraining program" is to have their employees beaten by a club-wielding puppet.
  • Fail O'Suckyname: Peggy?! Not that he has any problem with his name.
  • Fake Static: Bobby Bowden calls up "USA Prime Credit" to dispute charges and gets Peggy, who eventually rustles some paper and tells him that he's breaking up. Bowden tells him "I'm not too old to find you, son."
  • For Inconvenience Press One
  • I'm Not Afraid of You: "I'm not too old to find you, son."
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Considering how much crap he puts various people though, a few people might think the "retraining program" is just karma's way of getting back at him.
  • Notable Commercial Campaigns: Peggy is very popular on YouTube.
