Mondale used that in a debate vs. Reagan
Carl’s Jr. and their scantily clad women? I recall one of the Kate Upton clones walking through a produce market.
I can’t think of anything that’s burned into my mind as much as these.
“Plop Plop. Fizz Fizz. Oh what a relief it is!”
“Hey Mikey, he likes it!”
“I’d like to buy the world a coke”
For this side of the Atlantic, how about the Nescafe romance commercials and the Hamlet cigar commercials?
Actually, he said it to Gary Hart, his rival for the Democratic nomination in '84.
Agreed. I will STILL occasionally shout out “It’s BACON!” in this manner. (and that “I CAN’T READ!” was genius!)
The Straight Dope, AKA Google Jr. 
Thanks!
Didn’t make me cry this time.
In the early 1990s, there was a commercial that started off with an elderly woman saying, “She deserved it! She had it coming! And it was all because she didn’t use Crystal Sugar.” At that point, another elderly woman opens her oven, which promptly explodes, and she and the cake catapult all over the room.
For me it’s the Old Spice Commercials with Terry Crews.
“Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.”
So iconic.
The Ellen Feiss one will live forever in our family.
If anything stops working we say “and then it was like beep beep beep beep.”
Whenever we write a paper for something we always say “it was a really good paper.”
I loved that. Maybe not quite as good as Bruce Campbell’s “if you have it, you don’t need it.” So unexpectedly surreal, especially for a cologne that comes with a ship on the bottle.
Except that was Isaiah Mustafa.
That’s the one I came in to post. “Here kid.”
Like it or not, Skittlepox has had quite a long run.
Five…
Five dollar…
Five dollar foot-long…

The one where an unknown John Travolta talks about his father not planning on dying. (Mutual of New York)
The one where two old men, who represent the leaders of two countries, getting into a fist fight and duking it out on a hill during the middle of the day. Does anyone know of this commercial? I’ve looked for it online but can’t find it. It would have been in the 70s sometime.
That was so lame, all that bad singing and giggling, blatting out ‘five dollar foot-long’ . As if it was some beloved, old classic well-loved song that the whole world was familiar with! ’ Oh, look how cute, they’re having employees and just plain folk, singing the grand old Five Dollar Foot-Long song…oh, and breaking up, ha ha!'…I never heard the stupid song on a commercial all my life, and it certainly didn’t inspire me to jump in the car and drive to Subway.
I remember it. It was along the same lines as “Wouldn’t it be great if they gave a war and nobody came?” but I can’t remember the slogan it employed or the specific organization that sponsored it.
Actually, it sounds more like early '80s than '70s.
I suppose we can add the Subway commercials with Jared Fogler for being infamous, in the same vain as the Hertz Rent A Car ads with OJ Simpson or Bill Cosby with the Jello Pudding Pops.
