Oh, the good old days. When you could watch tv with the whole fan damily and not have to hurry and change the channel, and by change the channel I mean get up off the couch and change the channel, so you wouldn't have to explain the reason that that woman is sitting on top of the car, almost naked, eating a hamburger.
By the way, with the advent of DVR's you can fast forward through them, but you still have to "watch" them. But I digress.
I have gone in search of some of my favorite commercials from when I was a kid. I loved some of the old jingles (again, you young'uns, they had their own, not just some song they paid royalties for to use) ah hmmm, moving along.
McDonald's. A national treasure. Do you know that when they first opened, women were not allowed to work there. Yeah, I know right.
Who can forget this cute little guy. So, so cute. And it cracks me up at the end the way the announcer says bologna.
This is such a fun post - brought back a lot of memories! I don't remember that six finger thing, though. How neat! (I would have wanted one, too)
ReplyDeleteI did a post on commercials awhile back. You can read it here if you want to: http://ksrgmck.wordpress.com/2011/09/28/favorite-five-tv-commercials/
Ha! I love this! Brought back many memories and they were great. There are NO cigarette commercials on tv anymore. And the Oscar Meyer commercial is so cute. I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. That's the music person in me.
ReplyDeleteThose were fun! I only remember 2 of them :) The ones I remember most were the Kool-Aid ones with the big pitcher guy crashing through walls. Ack! He really scared me.
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget Granny shouting Where's The Beef. I think that one is forever imprinted on the memory of anyone coming up in that age. Love the trip down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post Dazee! Now I gotta take a few and go back to watch them all:) Know which one you forgot? Well, I'll tell ya anyway...
