So… mostly 1970s and 80s camera magazine ads from me so far.
“We’re Beatrice”

From a vehicle hire company whose name I forget: “Customer driven”

“Isn’t this a great way to look? I’m Stan Herman of Mr. Mort, and I designed it!”

“Don’t you just love beautiful feet?”

“That’s where Tommy’s hotdog dripped on me!”

“Call me Susie Chapstick!”

“The heartbreak of psoriasis!”

“The pain … the *itch *… of hemorrhoids!”

“Painful rectal itch!”

“STRAW-ber-RIES! BLUE-ber-RIES! CHE-ee-ee-RIES!”

“Reach out and touch someone.”

“That’s a spicy meatball!”

“I’m like Butter-Nut coffee: Rich, but never bitter!”

You left out the “Mama mia!:smiley:

Buzz Aldrin, second man on the Moon, plugging Volkswagen: “I’m impressed!”

Ah yes, cars!

When I was kid I had no idea what psoriasis is. I thought it was like dandruff or something. Today, I see psoriasis ads almost daily (in 40 years we haven’t come up with a cure for this?) only now there’s full color, close up photos of it. The heartbreak part finally makes sense.

And I’m cracking up (no pun intended) about the hemorrhoid one. That’s exactly the way it was said, in a dramatic voice with . . . pauses to illustrate the seriousness of the situation.

TV and radio: “Who wears short shorts? Nair for short shorts!”
I’d rather fight than switch.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll kiss three bucks goodbye!

“Auntie Mabel, Auntie Mabel, put some Thomas’s on the table!”

“Let’s get Mikey! He won’t eat it, he hates everything.”

“You can take Salem out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of Salem.” (What does that even mean?)

“You can’t write a letter with a grapefruit, but you can write a letter with a Banana!”
