Tell Me Your Age, Without Telling Me Your Age, Using Contemporaneous Ad and TV Show Slogans

“They peel them with their metal knives !”

Hercules hero of song and story
Hercules winner of ancient glory

Fighting for the right
Fighting with his might
With the strength of ten ordinary men

Space, the final frontier,

Heeeeyyy, Yooouuuu guuuyyyys!!!

He’s dead, Jim

Transformers! Robots in disguise!

From before you were born would be more interesting. :grinning:

“I love Bosco
and Bosco loves me
Chocolate-flavored Bosco

My mommy puts it in my milk …”

And the word I forgot from Andy’s Gang with Froggie is “pluck.” Pluck your magic twanger, Froggie.
Many years ago a piece in the Times said that the uproar of the '60s all came from kids watching Froggie disrespect an authority figure. Might have been correct.

I thought this thread was going to be about ads within TV shows. I could only think of one, but it’s a goodun:

“They’re solid plastic, so don’t settle for imitation.”

Stays crunchy, even in milk
Relax, it’s Palmolive
Can’t get enough of Super Sugar Crisp (even as a kid I didn’t like Sugar Bear; I thought he was being selfish).

Go go Gadget [thingy]!

“Luceeee!”

“And away we go”

“Happy trails to you…”

“Rochester!”

There was a cartoon promo from my early years that sticks in my head

Three apples high? Those mushrooms they lived in must have been ginormous!

Who’s the leader of the band that’s made for you and me?

Hey Kids, what time is it? (someone already posted the answer to this one upthread.)

We’ll have a hootenanny, hootenanny, Saturday night

“We are the Freakies, we are the Freakies
And this is the Freakies Tree.
Oh, we never miss a meal…”

“Everybody shout!
Come on now, sing out.
It’s time for the Ghoulies get together”

“Hong Kong Phooey…”
