Yesterday? Yesterday you said you'd call Sears.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I have something mundane and pointless that I have to share. When I was a child growing up in the 1990’s this commercial played constantly on TV. I must have seen it more than a hundred times in my life. I’ve searched for it on the Internet every so often, and I just found it. It’s developed somewhat of a cult following, and it’s very rare to find a college student who grew up in the US nowadays who hasn’t heard of it.

Wife: I cannot live another day without air conditioning!

Husband: The paper says tomorrow’s gonna be hotter.

Wife: Hotter?

Husband: Like yesterday.

Wife: Yesterday? Yesterday you said you’d call Sears.

Husband: I’ll call today.

Wife: You’ll call now.

Husband: I’ll call now!

–cut to sales pitch–

Wife: So what’s the paper say about tomorrow?

Husband: Another scorcher!

Wife: Cool.

I read the first two lines and knew EXACTLY what commercial you meant.

also…when the guy says “I’ll call now” I could picture in my head the terrible way he said it…and that close up…oh man…memories…

I remember those commercials. I think they still get shown every now and again during the late night hours during the summer.
