Bonniegirl 10-17-2014, 07:08 PM 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! :)

gidgetgrape 10-17-2014, 07:28 PM 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.

irehtman 10-17-2014, 10:23 PM Two most funniest ones:
* King Kong vs. Energizer Bunny in energizer Batteries commercial.
* Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan in Nike commercial: "Hare Jordan And Air Jordan".
Bonniegirl 10-18-2014, 12:17 AM I liked the Mr. Whipple please don't squeeze the Charmin commercials. This one with the parrot was really funny!

Dude111 10-18-2014, 12:29 AM Most commercials from the 80s and earlier are quite good actually! (Unlike the robotic garbage spam ads on now)
comedyfreak 10-18-2014, 04:37 AM I liked the Imperial margarin and Chiffon with Mother Nature.
king of comedy 10-18-2014, 07:26 AM I love the the Gasex commercials. Those are the ones where people have gas and their bodies expand.
William Hogan Jr 10-18-2014, 09:59 AM I like the old Raid ads from the 70s when the bugs encounter captain Raid. RAAAIID!:lol:
Bonniegirl 10-18-2014, 11:30 AM Very good choices!!! Keep them coming!!!!
I loved Choo Choo Charlie, Good N Plenty

Regulus 10-18-2014, 07:26 PM 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:
Patty Duke 10-19-2014, 12:00 AM My all time favorites are the Budweiser Clydesdale commercials! They aren't that old but I love em all!

I agree! ;) But I do like these three recent Geico commercials! ;) :D
Pinnochio , Old McDonald and The Owls! :lol:

I like this one for coke.

Ryan Chamberlain 10-21-2014, 08:37 PM 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.
mets82 10-22-2014, 03:01 PM 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.

LUNCH 10-23-2014, 01:27 PM There are so many good older commercials.Here's a few: The "Coffee,Tea or a Flick of My Bic" commercials for Bic lighters.The Robert Conrad battery commercials.The timex "it takes a lickin and keeps on ticking" ads.The Polaroid commercials with James Garner and Marriette Hartley.

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.
Bonniegirl 10-23-2014, 04:12 PM I loved all the 9 Lives Cat food Morris commercials! :)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCja1WGZx-E
Regulus 10-23-2014, 07:40 PM 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:
missy's pop pop 10-23-2014, 09:09 PM 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:
dakert 10-24-2014, 03:02 PM Santa on the Norelco razor--Shelley Hack for Charlie perfume-- and all the ones listed above :wave:
Bonniegirl 10-24-2014, 03:21 PM 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!!!

That's my favorite Superbowl commercial of all time. I think it's the use of "Your Cheatin' Heart" that really makes it.
irehtman 10-24-2014, 10:05 PM The dog named Sam in "Surf" laundry detergent commercials.
Bonniegirl 12-09-2014, 02:57 AM Just bringing this thread back up for Flying Dutchman!
tlc38tlc38 12-09-2014, 10:14 AM 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?
