I love the spuds mckenzie commercials and any hallmark commercial

There are more but I need to walk the dog...so I'll think about it while we're walking....

Can't remember if this was in the 80s or early 90s, but that old animated commercial for "Mini-Wheats" where Mr. Mini-Wheat was seen in the office of a Psychiatrist where he discussed the conflicts on which is better .. his wheat side or his frosted side.  At the end of the commercial, he'd rise from the couch and proclaim that Mini-Wheats are "STUPENDOUS!"



I also loved the commercials with the Hostess Munchies.  Those little guys were cute.  "Cause when you got the Munchies, nothing else will do!"

"I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid...."

"Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?"

Spuds Mckenzie (Budwiser) & Alex (Stohs). I still have my Spuds Mckenzie tee shirt.


I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now.

   My favorites are local station IDs and promos for local programming...

   Anyone who grew up in the Bay Area in the 70s and 80s should remember these...

   KOFY Channel 20 Dog Bumperhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-75xApsfFSM&feature=related

   ~Stereo TV was kind of a big deal...

   KBHK Channel 44 (But ws channel 12 on yor dial)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z43nMiVS53E

   My beloved TV 44 which is now part of Paramount.  With programming just as uninspired as Fox's...

   KTVU Captain Cosmic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwMQt9LUP5I

    ~ Give it up for Bob Wilkins!  I was all over this show.  Every day after school, on time and without fail.  Late 70s.  It's not a commercial but, hey, I don't mind..!

   Love it..!

I like the Pepsii commercial that takes place in the future when Coca Cola is obsolete and nobody knows what a guitar is...

"I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid...."

I used to  work at TRU in the 80s.
I'm no queen at parodying or anything but I did change the lyrics to that song.
It helped me get thru the shift....

I just wanna go home
I'm not a Toys R Us kid
There's too many toys at Toys R Us
For kids to play with...
The throw the toys all over the floor
then cry and ask for more....
Man- I really hate those Toys R Us kids!  ;D

Does anyone remember the Crystal Lite commercial with the lady in the striped workout suit dancing around the workout room?

One of mine, and the first one that sprang to my mind, was I think a chocolate milk commercial..but it could've been just a milk or syrup commercial, I'm not sure--and it's kind of dumb..but it was one that asked "Where does chocolate milk come from?  A chocolate cow?" and then it showed this claymation looking brown cow, and she looked up and was like "Hunh?"  It was stupid but funny. I haven't been able to find it again as an adult, probably because I can't remember what the ad was for!  ;D

And of all things, a commerical that always made me feel that Christmas was on the way was just a silly Scotch tape commercial. As I recall, all it showed was a hand in a white glove that was taping a package together-like a Christmas present I think-and they rubbed over the tape like a magic act and the tape was clear. I know how dumb that sounds, but to this day I think about that silly commercial when it gets to Christmas time and I wrap up a present!  ::)

i'm not sure if its 80s or 90s but the "thank you Easter bunny!" commercial specifically the kid with the black eye who loses his M&Ms to the little girl and the kids at the end
Thank you easter bunny Bawk bawk!  ;D



And those Anticipation commercials.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop..dammit I bit it again I guess I'll never know

I liked the Snuggle Faric Softner commercial so much I went out and bought one of the bears,years latter one of my kids lost it and I'm still mad >:(

LOL Ninny I always wanted one of those...oh there was also chocolate milk commercial with the little boy from A Christmas Story..."Messy Marvin always make a mess..."

LOL Ninny I always wanted one of those...oh there was also chocolate milk commercial with the little boy from A Christmas Story..."Messy Marvin always make a mess..."

I should of thought of Messy Marvin..my maiden name is Marvin & thats what my husband calls me if I spill anything ;D ;D

Two scoops of plump juicy raisins in Kellogg's Raisin Bran!

"Hershey's is...the Great American Chocolate Bar!"

-The California Raisins singing "Heard it Through the Grape Vine"
-"Where's the Beef?"
