244. Big List of my favorite commercials, part 4
(part 3)
I have a routine now. For my birthday and Christmas, I post an entry of my all time favorite commercials, and its sure as heck not Christmas. So you know what that means. I’m old.
Coors Christmas (1983)
Don’t you want that box?!
Burger King Steak Sandwich (1991) (my upload)
Who gives their girl jewelry at BK?
Gillian Anderson for Hardees (1990)
Who talks sexy on the phone, then meets up for a date in front of Roy Rogers (which is turning into Hardees)? O my god, she’s a hooker.
About 45 minutes into this ep of the Purple Stuff Podcast, they bring up this commercial.
Sealtest ice cream bars (3:41) (1986)
Haaands on Ice Cream! HANDS ON ICE CREAM!
Alf BK invasion (1988)
I had the “Melmac Rock” Alf with the Hawaiian shirt.
1987 ABC Promo Sidekicks Sledgehammer Ohara Spenser For Hire
(I re-uploaded this one, I liked it so much I saved it several years ago)
I love the stars of short lived shows, Sidekicks, Sledge Hammer!, and Ohara dancing to Gloria Estefan’s “Bad Boys”. Spenser for Hire is there too! Spen-sah!
Bless Pat Morita.
Mr. Ray’s hair weave (mid 1980s)
Taco Bell “Shaq Neck” (1997?)
1993 MTV movie awards (my upload)
Danger in black tie, too hot to handle, it’s the MTV Movie AWWWWWWAARRRRRRDDDSS ... shown tooo many times in my mst3k tape collection.
ABC America’s Comedy Team [the critic] (1994)
This was a promo for the episode of The Critic where Margo goes to the debutante ball, and Jay hooks up with the Barney the Dinosaur knockoff. I read a blog entry recently that apparently nobody, nobody watched this episode when it originally aired because it was up against the Olympics, and the short program night of Tonya vs Nancy.
Rap Musk
‘know what I’m sprayyyyin’?
I was mentioned very, very, very briefly on Lasertime a few weeks back because I suggested this commercial for the episode about lame TV raps. I got too excited when Henry said my name. Way too excited.
Richard Moll 1983 Jack In The Box Nachos Commercial
Speaking of way too excited, you don’t know how excited I got when I found this commercial. Those nachos look really lame, however.
Star Wars Wampa
I’m pretty sure in Empire, the wampa that got Luke didn’t go around yelling his own name. Wampa! Wampaaa!
McDonalds All American Meal (1992? 1993?)
(my upload @ 57:15)
Aw, Rondell Sheridan is in this commercial that takes place in a typical early 1990s women’s talk show. What do those men want? They want burgers! Super size!
Can we talk about Rondell’s Wikipedia photo though?
1990 Oldsmobile Toronado Troféo TV Commercial
These Oldsmobile commercials with the kids of famous people were always awkward, but I love this one because its for a car nobody remembers.
Dinosaurs and The Critic Commercial 1994
My two favorite shows from the 5th grade together.
Finally.
Taco Bell Rock Music Cups
I do not understand the purpose of these cups. Why were fast food places always wanting us to keep the cup back then? That doesn’t fly in 2017.
AM PM Mini Market 2 Hot Dogs For 89 Cents Commercial (1985)
Doesn’t the song remind anyone else of Flea Market Montgomery?? aka my favorite meme of 2008.
1994 Long John Silvers The Little Rascals Commercial
Didn’t this movie only make like, $3 in the box office? There’s only one of you, sweetie poo. I’ll hold, you scratch.
Thrift Drug (1990)
1. Why is he thinking about Massengil Douche on sale at Thrift during his vacation? 2. It looks like he made those thrift drug hamburgers out of the remains of his family. Perv.
