The old Right Guard commercial with the late Bill Fiore was really funny. :D

In this thread we can think of and post some of our old time favorite commercials. Post a video if one is available! :)

I loved the Soft N Dry octopus. I thought she was so pretty when I was a little girl! :)

I like Folger's Coffee's "Peter Comes Home For Christmas (http://youtu.be/I4kNl7cQdcU)" commercial. McDonald's "Ronald MacDonald Goes Ice Skating (http://youtu.be/5Xi-kKMBNe0)" commercial makes me all sentimental.

I liked the Mr. Whipple please don't squeeze the Charmin commercials. This one with the parrot was really funny!

Most commercials from the 80s and earlier are quite good actually! (Unlike the robotic garbage spam ads on now)

I love the the Gasex commercials. Those are the ones where people have gas and their bodies expand.

The Funniest Commercial I ever saw was from our friends in the Great White North. Molson Beer had a commercial in the early 1990s which featured a Classical Music Concert. The band finishes a number, and the audience claps their hands in applause. Up on the Balcony a group of teenagers act like they are at a Rock Concert, one of them unfurls a banner that reads "MOZART RULES! NO LIE!" :lol:

One of my favorite ones. (I'm not gonna post it here though.) is the infamous Johnson Motors commercial from the late 70s. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's unintentionally hysterical.

This is an excellent topic. I'd have to go with Where's the Beef and also the ad where the Coke guy tries a to take a Pepsi and they all come out of the display case. It first aired during Super Bowl 30.

So true.I actually used to like commercials.Even the older ads that were not that good were at least acceptable most of the time.

There was one ad for Meow Mix that featured cats from around the world (France, Spain, germany, Brazil, Japan etc) saying what their favorite food was. The final country was Kenya. They had a lion ROAR. The Narrator then said "Meow Mix, favored by nine out of ten cats around the world". :lol:

I liked the Imperial margarin and Blue Bonnet with Mother Nature.

In the words of Dena Dietrich: "...OH, IT'S NOT NICE TO FOOL MOTHER NATURE!!!"

SFX: Crash of thunder; raccoon hides his eyes with his paws

VOCAL: "If you think it's butter ...but ir's not!... It's CHIFFON!"

(No wonder Chiffon Margarine is no longer on the market...everyone remembered the ad but not the product!)

Some of my favorites:

Mikey's Life cereal commercial ("I'm not gonna try it...YOU try it!")

The M&M's Christmas commercial where Yellow and Santa Claus faint after discovering "they DO exist"...

and the Sears optical commercial of a couple years ago where a lady mistakenly lets a raccoon into her house after confusing him with her cat: "That's a good boy..."

:crazy:

All the commercials listed are really good. Bringing back memories!

I can really relate to the Sears optical raccoon commercial. As nearsighted as I am, without contacts or glasses and at night. I could very well be letting a raccoon in thinking it was my tabby cat! LOL!!!

This one cracks me up too." Eyes on your own paper ". The mannequin checking out his wife!!!

That's my favorite Superbowl commercial of all time. I think it's the use of "Your Cheatin' Heart" that really makes it.

One of my favorite commercials is one from Big Lots. It was about "seizing the deal" and it featured Yvette Nicole Brown from the show Community and the commercial was famous for her saying the line "I was seizing all day". I've looked everywhere online for this commercial for years and can never find it. Anyone know where it is or what I'm even talking about?

I do remember that commercial.
