  2. Either Lifecall with "I've fallen and I can't get up" or Liberty Medical with Wilford Brimley and diabeetus, oh the hours of joy.

  3. The one with the Ken and Barbi dolls racing around in the Toy-otas. Loved those ads.

  4. The old cream of wheat with the man sitting In his kitchen looking out at the snow and the old Gillette razor one from the ‘60’s that was on during Lassie. Or any of the classic McDonald’s Christmas ones.

  5. There was a Folger's coffee one that seemed kinda incest-y.

  7. How about the McDonald's commercial in the 1960's where you could get a hamburger, drink and fries with change back for your dollar?!

    I know, I'm an old man!

  9. There is a popular Dutch commercial that is on youtube. It's for English classes. Grandparents pick up the children, and they turn on the car radio to a very crude song. The grandparents want to appear to like what their grandchildren like, so they appear to enjoy the song. The kids are laughing in the back of the car. In Holland, there is no censorship, so they can say all the words which would not be permitted Stateside. I was pretty shocked when I first saw it. It does make the point that we should know what the words of the songs mean, and everyone could make use of another language. No need to be self-limiting.

  17. I love that one where the kids are taunting another kid about the vcr light flashing in his house? What time is it at your house? 12:00? 12:00? 12:00? And they're doing the hand gesture with wavy fingers for flashing. This is a commercial right....

  22. Remember when Cindy Crawford tried to sing in that Charlie perfume commercial? It aired for a week or so before being redubbed because the vocals were embarrassingly bad.
    Good times.

  23. My favorites on TV now are the Haribo adults with kid voices and the Twizzler ads. Both are so brilliant and happy they even make a crotchety old bitch like me laugh.

    I can't think of anything that stands out as favorite of all time, but I love the ad where the puts his Puli on his head. I think it's a beer commercial.

    1. WHOA! I remember that Folgers commercial but had scrubbed it from my brain.
      But honestly, the implied incest does not bother me as much as the implication that FOLGERS GROUND IS CONSIDERED "REAL COFFEE" COMPARED TO WHATEVER THEY'RE SERVING IN AFRICA.

  33. The Mayhem insurance ads.

    And somebody mentioned mini giraffes? I forgot those... they were great!

    ReplyDelete
  34. +1 DRK...the Direct Tv Russian "Petite Lap Giraffe" commercials and the Sokoblovsky Farms website with live cams of the giraffes was the best!

    Spectrum's a close second for me with their Monsters ads, "satellite tv is evil".

  42. Southwest Airlines had one I loved....guy walks through first class of a typical airplane, champagne is flowing, music loud, hostesses sitting on passenger laps, etc. He goes through a curtain the economy class, and the music shifts to a funeral dirge, passengers are huddled together like refugees. Only saw it once, but funny as heck.

  50. Years ago, there was a Purina Kitten Chow commercial with this little orange striped tabby zooming across a hallway from room to room, while the lady of the house walked down the hall with a basket of laundry.

    Then closeup of kitten revving his motor - "Vroooom-Vroom!"

    I can't find it anywhere. :-(

  53. The Allstate Mayhem commercials!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Going waaay back - the 60s Right Guard classic “Hi Guy” series with Chuck McCann in the bathroom mirror. Alka Seltzer’s “Spicy Meatball” that kicked off the whole “I can’t believe I ate the whooooole thing” ads. And anything Stan Freberg had a hand in creating - like the prune spots. And Mariette Hartley and James Garner selling polaroids.
