The classic commercial appreciation thread

“It’s so hard to hide the kid inside when you’re dunkin’
an O-R-E-O!”

Thanks, Tangent!

Reach out, reach out and touch someone…

Another good one on the tape (which I had never seen) was Ray Bradbury, of all people, hawking
Sunsweet Prunes.

The CD set includes the longest radio commercial
ever made “Omaha” a musical for coffee.

Great stuff

It was pronounced “on-juh-LEE.” The “j” may have been the same sound as the “z” in “azure”.

Since perfumes tend to have French names (so the ignorant American housewives will buy them thinking they’re “exotic” :stuck_out_tongue: ), it was probably spelled either “Enjolie” or “Anjolie”.

N-E-S-T-L-E-S
Nestle’s makes the very best
Chooooooc-late

What’s that aftershave you’re wearing?
(Then the guy has to start beating off the girl)

The first one I remember: See the USA in your Chevrolet.
At the start of Bonanza.

“Hey Mabel, another Black Label!”

“Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should!”

It took longer for someone to post this than I expected. :smiley:

Remember the one where the Hawaiian cartoon character always dished out a literal Hawaiian punch?

Does anyone else remember the SNL Not Ready for Primetime Players commercial parody of this ad? I just remember the refrain (I was in 5th grade, after all, but I knew what pot was).

Laraine Newman, amongst other union workers, singing, “Look for the union lable when you are buying a kilo or two…”. Never seen it repeated, but I know I didn’t dream it.

What’s pot?

They can show that on TV?! :eek:

There’s a lot to like in a Marlburo, filter, flavor, pack or box.

Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. LSMFT.
My father later in life explained what those letters really mean.

What rolls down stairs
alone or in pairs,
and over your neighbor’s dog?
What’s great for a snack,
And fits on your back?
It’s
* log, log, log!**

whistle
LOG! FROM BLAMMO!!!*

looks around [sub] Well it’s classic to me… tho I haven’t really been AROUND very long…[/sub]:smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey Chicago…

"Five - eight - eight - two - three hundred…EMPIRE !!!

Don’t squeeze the Charmin!

But surely you know the original:

What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, And makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing, Everyone knows it’s Slinky…
It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, for fun it’s a wonderful toy!
It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, it’s fun for a girl and a boy!

Yep, absolutely. Thanks for the correction.
Brylcreem – a little dab’ll do ya
Use more – only if you dare
But watch out – the gals’ll all persue ya
They’ll love to get their fingers in your hair

I believe there was another verse or another version where the second line was
Brylcreem – you look so debonair

Not to mention:

“Hudson three two seven HUNDRED…” Boushell Carpets, right?

I’m mad at Tibs - I was gonna post the Enjoli commercial.

Holy god, I never would have remembered that! Now I can’t get “emmPIIIIRE” out of my head. Speaking of chitown, how about the Haray Caray “Cubs Fan/Bud Man” spots.
