My favorite TV commercial of all time was the “Big Jim’s coming” ad from the late 70’s for Schmidt beer (it’s regional).
But honorable mention must go the following ad from the mid 80’s for Coast deoderant soap:
A groggy guy in his bathrobe knocks on the door of his downstairs neighbors and borrows a bar of soap. Back in the shower, he unwraps it and the scent wakes him up. The couple in their kitchen begin hearing all this gleeful noise coming from upstairs. Watching, my friends and I began nudging each other, “what’s he doin’ with that soap, eh?” Then the husband looks out the window and up as a blob of white goo lands on his forehead. We exploded with laughter.
that soap ad reminds me of all the Herbal Essences commercials I’ve seen . . . X attractive woman gets into shower, bathroom or whatever, starts going “yeah, oh yeah . . . YEAH . . . OOH YEAH!” etc . . . then she comes out of the shower with shampoo.
Somehow I fail to see the connection between shampoo and orgasms. Or is this some form of psychic or other non-sexual orgasm I missed in the previous thread regarding those?
I love those billboards I see around town advertising milk.
Correction, not “love” but “despise with all my heart”. They are all based on … ahem … the money shot. As in, featuring attractive young women with a viscous white substance (which emerged from a long organ on a sexually-mature mammal, after said organ was rubbed) smeared on their faces. Needless to say I never get thirsty for a cool glass after seeing those.
I wasn’t sure what the title meant but I was hoping to find sex on the beach or something…
I don’t care for ads much but I remember about 1987 there was Joe Isuzu played by whatsisname and playing your typical car salesma. He’d say "this is my mother and may she be struck by lightning if I lie… and went on to describe the car and you’d see the lightning falling all around the mother who was trembling … That was a good one
Yeah, did you ever see the one where the husband is waiting for the shower, and the wife is in there for hours, squealing and giggling while he checks his watch…
…then he gets in, she barely looks at her watch and he starts screaming “Oh, YES!!!”; the woman shrugs her shoulders and walks off camera.
I hated that one with a passion. Guess what played in every single last freakin’ commercial break?
Have you seen the one for the electric razor? (forget what brand): sort of cylindrically shaped, with a larger “head” and apparently some sort of reservoir for dispensing shaving cream; which leads to footage of men looking appreciatively at their razor while white fluid oozes from the top…
I hate those herbel Essences “ORGASMIC/ORGANIC” commercials.
I also think it’s a little sketchy to run them all day, any time of day. I can just imagine my son, in a few years, seeing those (which would be hard to avoid if the TV is on for any length of time) and concluding that moaning and screaming “yes! Oh yes!” is the mature way to express his delight over something HE likes, such as grandma’s cooking. That’d make for an interesting thanksgiving dinner.
