All the “Got Milk?” ads were a bully/jerk gets karmic justice in the form of being out of/unable to get a drink of milk after, usually, eating something.
The Pringles ad with the kid on the island.
The one were the little girl want’s Chef Boyardee, her mom says no and the can rolls home after them.
According to my mom, one of my first complete sentences was, “Ten o’clock, time for Chocks!”
Chocks was a brand of vitamins for kids.
I vaguely remember a bird coming out of a cuckoo clock and saying it.
I loved Choo-Choo Charlie, Sonny and his “Coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs!” and yes, I adored the Frito Bandito, and I don’t care who knows it. “Ay-yi-yi-yi, I am the Frito Bandito…”
I remember feeling really bad for the Trix rabbit- he tried so hard to get a bowl of cereal, only to get it taken away by those rude kids who’d say “silly rabbit, Trix are for kids”. And I thought, let him have some damn Trix already–it’s his cereal, his picture’s on the box!
There are many commercials with songs that all we kids used to love to sing along with, such as the Fig Newton commercial with the dancing fig
“Ooey gooey rich and chewy inside
Golden flakey tender cakey outside
Wrap the inside in the outside
Is it good? Darn tootin’!”
I was sure teela brown’s Mr. Bubble link was going to be to the '70s era commercial that had the song "Mr. Bubble in the tub’ll get ya squeaky clean. . . "
“There are lots of chewy Rolos in a roll for you . . .”
“Hot dogs! Armour hot dogs! What kind of kid eats Armour hot dogs?”
A couple that I hated because they scared the crap out of me:
An anti smoking commercial by the American Heart Assoc. that had this creepy ass song
“To get right to the heart of the matter. Where there’s smoke WHERE THERE"S SMOKE!”
And then there’s this commercial for the movie Suspiria <shudder> I’ve mentioned that one here before and just as back then, I can’t really bring myself to watch the whole clip.
ISTR a commercial for Doral cigarettes that featured a dancing box of Dorals and the jingle ♬ *Taste me, taste me! Come on and taste me! That’s all Doral asks. * ♬
Tony the Tiger, spokescritter for Frosted Flakes, “They’re GREAT!” The “great” always came out as a roar.
There was a beverage commercial (kool-aid?) in which a bunch of kids are drinking it and start giggling like maniacs. I was afraid if I drank that stuff I’d turn into a loony giggler, too.
