I think one of the WORST would have to be the one 4 the Wash-n-Curl shampoo:

"This morning my hair was straight.  Then Bill called! So I decided to go CURLY!"    I saw a remake of the commercial recently....made me shudder

And I thought the Chia Head was a fictitious product, as shown on Saturday Night Live. Turns out, it's real, but not in the same sense as depicted on SNL. :D

Do you remember the MUZZY commercials? the ones where that lady's like "These children aren't french, there american'.

Boring commercial. I also, for some reason, really remember those "Train at home for a better career commercials."


Oh yea, and what about the GUSHERS commercials with the fruit heads!?

I remember a really annoying advert in England that me and my friend Erica used to quote endlessly as it amused us for about 3 months.

It was for clearasil, the acne lotion and featured a very squeaky voiced girl yelling 'GET REAL, BUY YOUR OWN' at her sister.

Also, the Loreal ad's featuring Jennifer Aniston in which she advised us to 'wash the strength back in'. That concept amused me also. The thoughtof Jennifer's hair being really depressed or something.

Here's the science bit. Concentrate...

Yes, unfortunately I do. I thought those were dumb. ::) :-\\

Those creepy plastic battery people.I think they were advertising Duracell and were called The Puttermans or something like that.

The Taco Bell Chihuahua,my favorite 90's commercials.

I thought that dog was cute too. It's a shame that they did away with those ads. :-\\ ::)

lol muzzy ads were on 24/7 Wheres The Beef (wendys)

How about the Pizza Hut Commercials with that Pizza that could talk and he always ended up getting killed or something at the end of the commercial? I forgot his name but those were always fun commercials

I also remember the Burger King Kids Club commercials with that weird cartoon kid with the wacky red hair and the kid in the wheelchair. Here is a picture of them

-Floam
-Twister! (It's the Hot Spot! ;))
-Kool Aid commercials, with the CG Kool Aid Man.

There are a bunch of other ones that I can't really identify right now...but those seem to be the more clear ones.  ;)
   

As a NASCAR fan I am compelled to post this.......

The INTERSTATE BATTERIES ads with the driver they sponsor...Bobby Labonte..


and

The OLD AOL ads with the various celebs...and the AOL 'girl scout' one with the kid selling cookies...

How about the nintendo ads with the slogan "Play it loud"?

A couple of others:

"Just for the taste of it... diet coke!"
Taco Bell dog commercials
Green burrito commercials with the green smiley face
Got milk?, the most memorable being the one with the guy eating a peanut butter sandwich.

can annyone get a pciture of that twizzler Lip cause thats one thing i'll never forget lol  ;D

  The "Long John Silvers" (?) commercials with the muppet shrimp that has a french accent.

So do I! I watched a lot of children's TV in the early 90's (even though I was 10-12 years old then), and those were among the commercials that were shown frequently.

ya...i thought they were fine and dandy...until they starting making "chia everything"....chia head...chia scooby-doo....

Now introducing from Chia: Chia George Bush and Chia John Kerry!

Also you can get a Chia of President Buchanan free of charge when you buy a Chia Ralph Nader!

I used to love those Milk...it does a body good commercials....where they would have a small kid drinking the milk and talking...and before you knew it....it was the kid's voice in an adult's body.



Erin :)

I liked the Zima commercials, the McDonalds guy that would say, "How's it going, how's it going." I think his name was something like Eddie the Repeater or something like that, the I like Mike commercials, and those Reeses Peanut Butter Bits ads with that real nerdy guy (that was circa 1992).

OMG Muzzy!! i almost forgot about that..I HATED those commercials, they were so annoying. anyway

here are  other commercials: skip-it, push pops, little caesars (Pizza Pizza), American Express, Aspercreme, 10-10-220, Dream Phone, "Nacho Man" (sung to Macho Man song),


they also had some shampoo commercial where they'd play that "natural woman" song

I remember a Reeses Pieces ad from late '91/early '92 which was basically a singing ad; "big pieces...little pieces...center pieces...Reeses Pieces" (every fourth item mentioned was "Reeses Pieces). Each item mentioned had a little visual aid with it.

I KNOW I bore some folks here when I mention NASCAR drivers,but, having seen the ads, I mention them.

Jeff Gordon in the Fritos ads...

HELP!!! I've fallen and I can't get up!!!
Yep..Mrs. Fletcher!!

The United Airlines ads of the 90's with the 747-400...

and the beginning of the Oxi-Clean ads...

I remember a Reeses Pieces ad from late '91/early '92 which was basically a singing ad; "big pieces...little pieces...center pieces...Reeses Pieces" (every fourth item mentioned was "Reeses Pieces). Each item mentioned had a little visual aid with it.



oh I remember that one....it got annoying after awhile.




Erin :)

It seemed like during the late 80's/early to mid 90's....they would advertise SO many toys, etc.  There were like 100 different dolls that they had commercials for (pretty, pretty princess, polly pockets, baby alive, the one doll that would rollarskate, etc..)...and all of those boys toys (trucks, tonka, and the warrior type action figure dolls/sets).  I hardly ever see any commercials advertising toys...not like they used to, that is.



Erin :)

I don't really have a clear vision of 90s ads, but I do recall some commercials, like the Old El Paso salsa contest (the little girl and cowboy compete) from 92, and some toy commericals, like Barbie from 91.

I recall the Diet Pepsi ads with Ray Charles and the Uh-Huh Girls, circa 1990-91 - those girls became so popular for a while and then they just vanished into thin air.

Their slogan "You've got the right one, baby...UH-HUH!!" was around for a short time as well.

Yeah, I remember that El Paso Salsa commercial very vaguely. There were  alot of commercials that had advertisements for those Nike and Reebok "air pump" shoes. Talk about a gimmick! THey wanted us to think we'd be like Michael Jordan or Charles Barkely, etc.

I'm still wondering if ANYONE OUT THERE remembers the ads I posted....The INTERSTATE BATTERIES ads with NASCAR's Bobby Labonte or the Frito's ads with Jeff Gordon or the United Airlines ad....if someone even has an inkling I'd love to hear from them!

The Hair Club for Men:

"I'm not only the hair club president, but I'm also a client."

oh I remember that one....it got annoying after awhile.




Erin :)


Yeah, I really remember those commercials with the Reeses Pieces. That guy that kept eating them like a robot kind of struck me as odd. Some of my old Archie comic books from around that time have advertisements of him on them with the Reeses Pieces "song" lyrics going in a circle around him.

I remember a lot of local (SF/Bay Area) commercials that some may not even relate to. They're more like "sub"urban legends here because they were overplayed on local stations. One had a lawyer with curly hair from at least 1983 or earlier and he was advertising his local law firm. Well, he would talk about what he could do for you, and then he'd retire on his couch and say, "Well, I better get back to my episode of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" and they'd show him giggle a bit and then it would fade out... kind of lame for an attorney to advertise himself that way... but hey, he seemed personable.. Then they had that Paul guy from "The Diamond Center" doing his commercials to the music of "Soul Man" but instead they changed the words to something like "Diamond Man" I can't remember, but it was awful and funny - awfully funny  :D

I have some Canadian ads from the 90s I remember. Anybody remember the "Campfire If You're Happy And You Know It" Eaton's commercial (too bad Eaton's is bankrupt)? How about the cheese commercial where the boy sneaks past his father to try and get some cheese? Classics!

Locally there was the ads for Crazy Ned's(furniture store)with "Crazy Ned" and his Yiddish uncle...
BTW Crazy Ned is no longer in business.

That was after the annoying "Bud...Weis...Er" frogs, an ad campaign that began circa 1995. ::)

I think the ads featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr. started in the 2000's.

Maybe so, but I'm not familiar with those.

Anyway, I can remember quite a few "Got Milk" commercials from the mid-90's; I do believe that's when they started.

I can't forget the Walmart ad (1997?) which had this catchy whistling music throughout and the smiley face appeared in it. I don't know if this was the first time Walmart used the smiley but the face still lives in today's Walmart commercials.

The ALL 'Stain Lifter' ads with the cute little kids messing up their clothes the way kids do!

the clapper commercials with that dumb ass clapper lite. and then the commercial with the old woman "I've fallin and i cant get up" oh well u old ass lady

the clapper commercials with that dumb butt clapper lite. and then the commercial with the old woman "I've fallin and i cant get up" oh well u old butt lady
Look...don't be so quick to make fun of older people...cause guess what, that's gonna be you(and all of us on this board) someday.  ;)  :P

The Geico ad with the gecko coming out of the shower to answer the phone...'You want GEICO not GECKO!'

Remember the Snackwells commercials where the store employee would be stocking the shelves with the product and this group of ladies were always chasing after him, calling him 'Cookie Man' - those were kind of funny.  :)

The Geico ad with the gecko coming out of the shower to answer the phone...'You want GEICO not GECKO!'

Yeah, I think Geico ads emerged during the late 90's. That one may or may not have been from the 90's (maybe the Ellipsis guest knows); but the Geico gecko was definitely around in 1999.

That one I cracked up watching. "Hello? No I can't save you money on car insurance; you want GEICO, not GECKO!" (babbles) "Well that's uncalled for!"

umm for the 500th time DOSE ANYONE REMEMEBR THAT D.A.M.N TWIZZLER LIP!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D lol sorry gues i just wanna know if any one remebers that twizzler lip that would tlak and dose anyone have a picture

I remember the Twizzler Lip vaguely - Twizzler's don't taste the same as they did 10 or 15 years ago. They taste like Crap now..

I've never eaten them before...but I do remember seeing those ads. ::)

lol any one got a picture of it

I don't suppose anyone remembers the name of that Pizza that talked? It was some Pizza Hut Ad around 1995 or 1996 which had a real pizza with like olives for eyes and he had a High Pitch Voice and then the Commercial always ended with him getting beat up or killed or something, like a Dog would come along and Eat him. They were Really Popular Commercials back then (Maybe the Pizza's Name was "Stan"?  I'm not sure...)

Also does anyone remember the annoying "Call 1-800 ATT" and the "10-10-321" Commercials? I remember one of the "10-10-321" Comercials that had Al Bundy from "Married with Children" in it and he was driving by some dark highway and there was a Phone Booth in the middle of nowhere and some Glowing Blue Alien was on the Phone and Al Buncdy pulled up and said "What's the Matter?" and the Alien said something like "OZNY LOOKSUP!" in a weird Alien voice, lol it was Hillarious for some weird reason

You're talking about the Pizza Hut Pizza Head commercials.  There was a pizzacutter in the commercial as well that was called Steve (Pizzacutter Steve) and each commercial had Steve in a different commercial.  I have some on tape where he is a cop, a magician, and an alien.  I've got a lot of these on tape and I am in the process of planning a website dedicated to 90's commercials that will launch sometime in late winter.  I already have a website dedicated to 90's cartoons, which I am trying to build up before I can make the sister site.  The address is www.blastfromthepasttv.com .

Wow Man, Thanks Alot!

Nice Website to, I'll look forward to your new one coming this winter  8)

Let's see..... ad's from the '90's.....well I was just a little girl during the '90's. Umm... I remember the Gusher's Fruit Snack commercials and I didn't find them dumb, they scared me!! LOL ;D I think it was because I used to see these scary Dimetapp commercials when I was 4 or 5 and the Gushers commercials reminded me of them. I vagualy remember the Ray Charles Pepsi commerical. I remember the Geico commercials (thought they were funny!) I saw ALOT of PSA's. Where did they all go? There are hardly any PSA's on TV now. I see a few every now and then. Can't think of anymore right now, if I do, I will post them!

Also does anyone remember the annoying "Call 1-800 CALL ATT" and the "10-10-321" Commercials? I remember one of the "10-10-321" Comercials that had Al Bundy from "Married with Children" in it and he was driving by some dark highway and there was a Phone Booth in the middle of nowhere and some Glowing Blue Alien was on the Phone and Al Bundy pulled up and said "What's the Matter?" and the Alien said something like "OZNY LOOKSUP!" in a weird Alien voice, lol it was Hillarious for some weird reason

I remember those ads. Including the "1-800 Collect" ads as well. The "10-10-321" commercials began in 1998, I think, and lots of other "10-10-" numbers have sprouted up since then.

  Did any of the motorsports fans here have Speedvision(now SpeedTV and not nearly as good) in the 90's? If so, do remember the Speevision Cop? Here's a little example of how one commercial went.

  Kid in AMC Pacer is pulled over by motorcycle cop:

  Pacer Driver: Is there a problem officer?

  Cop: Is there a problem? Son, you're driving a Pacer, a PACER.....the single most butt-ugly car ever
  built and you're asking me if there's a problem?

  Cop motions for kid to hand over his keys, which he does.

  Camera pans out showing multiple driverless Pacers sitting on edge of the road.

  The End  ;D

I remember some pizza commercials from the early 90's. Dominos' Pizza had a sung jingle, "Nobody knows, Like Dominos, How you like pizza at home." And I think Pizza Hut still had its "Makin' it great" advertising slogan for a little while (I think it was around during the 80's as well).

My favorite commercial was the old Curtis Mathis commercial where it shows a dime spining and you hear a voice whistle and say "Hey there, got a dime." and then a guy would appear in the dime and would talk through out the commercial, that guy is my dad.

HEY do u remember the energizer bunny commercial "he keeps goin and goin and goin....and the pilsbury dough boy?

has anyone mentioned those Pizza Hut ads with Mr. Pizza Head.  Those ones were really bad  ;D
