;D maybe i am just getting old, but does anyone else go around singing or humming commercial jingles from the 60's &70's. Yesterday i kept singing "bring out the Hellmans and bring out the best",I sometimes sing other ones too.

Whenever I make tuna salad I sing the Bumble Bee Tuna song...
Bum, bum, Bumble Bee.  Bumble Bee Tuna.
I love Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee tuna.
Yum, yum Bumble Bee....

You two watch too much TV!

:)2 more classics. There was one for a TV dinner,I'm not sure which, it went" how can you handle a hungry man the man handlers" I think Windex had "grey skies are going to clear up just put on a happy face"

One that still gets stuck in my head ...

"Whatever it is, I think I see.  Becomes a tootsie roll to me"

You got me with that one I do not remember that. How about " I'm a Chiquita banana and i come to say" or "sometimes you feel like a nut sometimes you don't"-Almond Joy-and then there's N E S T L E S nestles makes the very best chocolate.

"Nestles 100,000 dollar bar"

or "you've got your chocolate in my peanut butter well you've got your peanut butter in my chocolate..."

You remember that episode of WKRP, where Jan is stoned, and her finger is doing the Nestle's jingle, sort of like the boy in the Shining?

I don't remember how the jingle went, but these lyrics/words for the Big Mac are still etched in my mind
"two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun,"

how about Burger King: hold the pickles hold the lettuce special orders dont upset us..all we ask is that you let us serve your way...."

Whenever I make tuna salad I sing the Bumble Bee Tuna song...
Bum, bum, Bumble Bee.  Bumble Bee Tuna.
I love Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee tuna.
Yum, yum Bumble Bee....


OMG! Me Too!  :D ;D ;D ;D


Ok, here are a few:


Yi, Yi, Yi, Yi.
I am the Frito Bandito
I love Fritos corn chips I love them I do.
I get them, I get them, I get them from you.


McDonald's is your kind of place.
They serve you rattlesnakes
They smush them in your face.
They have no parking place.
McDonald's is your kind of place
IN OUTER SPACE!

Ok, ok, that one we made up.  ;) :D :D ;D ;D


Let's see how many people remember THIS one:

(First voice) I am a lonely pimple as lonely as can be.
Na na na na na na na na na na
(Second voice) Don't cry pimple, I'll keep you company.
(Third voice) Hey fellow pimples, will three be a croud?
(Fourth voice) All together pimples sing real loud
(All) NAAAAAAAA


My sisters and I sing this all the time.  :D ;D ;D ;D

This commercial became controversial because it indicated that "Mexicans" (now grouped with all persons of "Latino" / "Hispanic" descent) were of a stereotypical "Bandito" / "Criminal" / "Robber" character (as the jingle insinuated).
Removed from the airwaves in the early days of, but now everpresent quest for political correctness................

Which is in contradiction to the years of Cartoons that portrayed the Mexicans as lazy, and doing nothing but sleeping all day. Now, we have Carlos Mencia...

That one i don't remember

Though I was never around in the 70's, one episode of "That 70's Show" had some 70's commercials. They were Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dr. Pepper, and Coca-Cola.

I liked the Starburst one... although I can't remember all the words...

tastes like mouthwatering orange, strawberry too, luscious lemon, and tangy cherry, something something the moment that you

bite into a starburst fruit chew a burst of refreshing fruit flavor for you!

I really miss the old KFC... back when the Colonel was still alive, and they were called Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Ever since they changed it to KFC it has gone down hill, we had 2 around the area i live and they are shut down.
Does anyone remember Arthur Treachers Fish & chips? Or when Ponderosa first opened you had to walk through the line like a cow going through the corrall. Ah the good old days!

Arthur Treahers Rocks! Way better food than Long John Silvers, or Cap'n D's. And I do remember Ponderosa being cafeteria style, very similar to Western Sizzlin, but better food.

Do you remember Der Wienershnitzel? They had basically just hot dogs, but they served them about 50 different ways, from corndogs to chilli chease, to just mustard and kraut.

I have a few Arthur Treacher's in my area. I never ate there since they're pricey, but I would like ti try their fish and chips.

HOLD THE FORT, do you mean you still have an Arthur Treachers in your area? I live near the Rochester, NY area and we haven't had an Arthur Treacher's there for over 30 years. They have got rid of lots of good restaurants,I loved Ground Round,can't find any close by, they got rid of the closes Chi-Chi's >:(

Dont get me started on KFC !! Remember Kentucky Fried Chicken we do it right..so tender and juicy bite after bite.." That was the greatest treat  to have a bucket of KFC.  My mother used to ruin the whole thing by buying the chicken only and serving left over veggies from home as the side dishes...UGH Im still angry about that...
However when we got THE ENTIRE MEAL it was the best moments of life. Now its pure crap. They have all of these other  crazy things...the chicken cheddar mashed potato soup souffle crispy skins served over a bed of rice. (im exaggerating of course but they have gone off the deep end)

Ninny- It's very rare to see an actual Arthur Treacher's Restaurant any more... but, if you are lucky, you can still see them in the food courts of some Malls. Not quite the same, much like the Colonel, but still better than Long John's.

While we are talking food does anyone have a White Castle's near them, I buy the frozen mini-burgers, but my family think they suck,so I was wondering what the one's at the restaurant taste like?

Hey Ninny, Ive bought the frozen White Castles, my girls love 'em. No, they dont beat the real thing and I think it has alot to do with those tasty little onions steamed to perfection.  We have a few White Castles near us...very tasty :))

We have Crystals around here, which are pretty much the same thing. Fresh from the restaurant, those things are like Crack. I even found a recipe online to make my own, and they aren't too bad, but nothing like the real thing.

All this talk about KFC-let's bring the thread back to the topic.  ;)


Get a bucket of chicken
finger lickin' good
have a barrel of fun
goodbye ho-hum
say hello to your family
come on everyone
at Kentucky Fried Chicken
have a barrel of fun.


Does anyone remember:

Don't cook tonight. Call Chicken DeLite

And then there is:

I am stuck on Band Aids

Cat

I remember that Catwoman !! "cause they hold on tight in the bathtub and they cling in soapy suds.....I am stuck on bandaids.." oh and one of the greatest: PLOP PLOP FIZZ FIZZ OH WHAT A RELIEF IT IS !!!!"

With all those years of marketing slogans and jingles, I think the absolute worst has to be " Have a happy Period".

THIS.

Once upon a time, that was only a Red Dwarf reference. 

I haven't watched as much Red Dwarf as I would like, so that doesn't make any sense to me. Great show though, and it is right up there with the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Spaced is pretty good too... from like the two episodes I got to watch part of.

This might be the 80s.


I don't want to grow up, I'm a Toys' R Us kid
There's a million toys at Toys 'R Us that I can play with!
From bikes, to trains, to video games,
It's the biggest toy store there is!  Gee whiz!
I don't want to grow, cuz baby if I did,
I wouldn't be a Toys 'R Us kid!


Cat

Great one Catwoman !! Remember the Baby Alive Commercials: "New Baby Alive beautiful face..she can eat, she can drink..." or "Rub a Dub Dolly soft pretty dolly  taking her in the bath with you..taking a bath it can be lots of fun but two in the bathtub is more fun than one.."

Flatsies, flatsies. They're flat and that's that.



Yeah, I know. I had a misspent youth sitting in front of the television.  :D ;D ;D ;D



Cat

Oh please Catwoman, that was the fun of being a kid !!!! I dont remember that commercial though. "Mutual of Omaha...." forgot the rest...

Sorry Mutual of Omaha the people you can count on when the going's rough..."

"Baby That A Way"

My Dad sold insurance at one point for Mutual Of Omaha, so of course I watched the show. Then in later years, it dawned on me, how much Marlin Perkins and Jaques Cousteau had in common-
M.P. " And now Jim will sneak into the Lion's den, and take a look at those Cubs..."
J.C. "And now my Son Phillipe will get into the bloody waters with the ravenous Great White Sharks..."

J.C. "And now my Son Phillipe will get into the bloody waters with the ravenous Great White Sharks..."



Oh yeah, Jim had all the hard work and Marlin was in the cushy studio. It always reminds me of a skit by Bill Cosby about the Lone Ranger how Tonto always went into town and got beat up. What Bill wanted to happen was:

L.R.: Tonto, you go to town.
Tonto: You go to hell, Kemosabe

:D ;D ;D ;D



Cat

My favorite Lone Ranger joke involves him getting bit by a rattlesnake in a very delicate area while answering Nature's call. He sends Tonto to find a Doctor. Tonto finds a Doctor, but he is too busy delivering babies... or whatever it was that Frontier Docs did. However, he tells Tonto to make an incision over the snake bite, and suck out the poison. Tonto rides back, and informs the Lone Ranger the Doctor can't come. "Well? What did he say?" "Doctor say, you going to die Kemosabe."

Does anyone remember the butter commercial " It's not nice to fool mother nature". Or The one for Imperial margerine where you get a crown on your head.or Parkay margerine where the tub keeps saying it's butter, and the lady says Parkay,then she tries it and says butter,and the tub says Parkay.
Underalls because it makes you look like your wearing nothing at all.

If you think its butter but its not...its Chifon ...

Does anyone remember the butter commercial " It's not nice to fool mother nature".


Yep, and I remember the Carol Burnett skit with Carol as mother nature. She says to Harvey Korman, "It's not nice to fool with mother nature." She then turns to Lyle Waggoner and says "But you can fool with mother nature all you want."

Does anyone remember on the Sonny & Cher show when they would take a bunch of commercial jingles and turn them into an opera?

I can't really recall the Sonny & Cher skit but it does sound familiar. I do remember on Carol Burnett where she would be "attacked" by commercials. There was one where she walked into the bathroom and she hears music coming from the toilet. She took off the top and there was a Ty-D-Bowl man and she flushes him.  ;D ;D  There was another one with Tim Conway playing Yul Gibbons. He came into the kitchen and takes the back of a chair and started to eat it. He said, "You can find a lot of nutrition around the house. I'm going to go and eat your garage." I always loved when they would do those skits.



Cat

Does anyone remember if it was Burger King that had the commercial "hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders wont upset us"?

Yes it was Ninnny !!!

Yes it was Ninnny !!!


Thank You, I could not remember if that was when they started the; do it your way campaign.

Do you remember Emmanuel Lewis doing commercials for Burger King, but I think that was in the 80's

Does anyone know where this is from or what they were selling..."Take human bites!".

Ninny: YUP !!! "I just cant figure it out ..everybody knows ....(something about the whopper) " I also remember "Take Human Bites" now I have to google it...

Does anyone know where this is from or what they were selling..."Take human bites!".



It was from a play called Gemini. Another line from the commercial for it was "I'm not hungry, I'll just pick" and she takes a huge fork-full of spaghetti and shovels it into her mouth.



Cat

LOL Catwoman, just saw that online. I remember 'I'll just pick.."  Remember Joey Lawrence in the 'My Buddy" commercials !!

;D :D ;D :D ;D

Thank you! 

Maybe it's just me,but I think the commercials of yesteryear are better than the ones today. I especially use to like the ones where the owner of the company..etc Orville Reddenbacher,Dave Thomas & Colonel Sanders..sold there own products,it just made it seem more personal. or maybe I'm just getting old and want to hang on to my youth.

This might be the 80s.
