I posted this in another thread about the length of commercials. These are short commercials that peppered the Philadelphia market in the 70s and 80s. Similar to Crazy Eddie in a way, and very effective. [From this thread:](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/length-of-tv-commercials/963145/10)

So watch this [selection of Krass Bros. short commercials from the 70s and 80s](https://youtu.be/t5R4rNxSWFw), it won’t take long. Do you remember where they are located? Fill in the blanks “Krass Bros., 901 \_\_\_\_\_\_ St., store of the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_!”. And this is probably the first time you’ve seen these commercials too. I haven’t seen one in 40 years and I still remember.
