Subject: Public Sevice Announcements and commercials

Written By: REDSOXFAN1 on 07/22/03 at 01:02 p.m.

I see a lot on the net and in books, media, etc..about "classic" 80s commercials..but it's always the same ones..the Big Brother Apple commercial, "Where's the Beef', "Mean Joe Green", etc etc..but I am interested in I guess more obscure commercials from the 80s and early 1990s..and PSAs. You seem them occasionally on VH1 and TV land..but never any of the normal, day-to-day ones. I am always looking for info but can never find much..I am always directed to museums in NYC or the University of Missouri..where for some extreme bit of $$$, I can purchase or rent a few reels of anything that was ever recorded on American television, in several markets. Now I am not rich and cannot always travel to these places.so again I am looking for any run of the mill ads and PSAs that I remember. Some that I remember are:

1. A commercial for I think SilverStone cookware..where some metalic letters are cooked into either pancakes or eggs...and don't stick to the pan (this fascinated me as a kid!) from early 80s
2. Any scrubbing Bubbles commercials from the early 80s (scared me lol!)
3. Tickle brand deodorant (early 80s)
4. Nestle Quik with the classic rabbit in it
5. A commercial..mid-late 80s..with a couple getting ready for a date..but the woman doesn't want to leave the bathroom because it smells so good (I think was for Lysol..later 80s??)
6. 2 public sevice announements..which some animal puppets buy a record player and a kite..which don't work..and the store wont refund them..was a kid oriented announcement from the Better Business Bureau (early-mid 80s)
7. anything with Snuffy the Talking Fire Engine (early-mid 80s)
8. The Snippets..a group of snake-like things that had ideas for kids and sometimes info like using 911, etc (early-mid 80s)

Many more..but these I remember most..some may have been regional ( I lived in Boston, MA as a kid)..but if you rememebr these or have any info..PLEASE mail me!! thanks!     :)
