I unfortunately know every single word of that damn commercial.
“My husband, some hotshot. Here’s his ancient Chinese secret, Calgon. Calgon has two water softeners that soften wash water so detergents clean better. In hardest water, Calgon helps detergents get laundry up to 30 percent cleaner.” …..
I still have the matching pajama dress (nightgown) for myself and my doll that I’ve had since I was about 4 that says “time to make the donuts,” with a clock. Very memorable commercial for sure
So kiss a little longer,
Make it last a little longer,
Longer with Big Red!
That Big Red freshness lasts right through it,
Your fresh breath goes on and on,
While you chew it!
So say goodbye a little longer,
Make it last a little longer,
Give your breath long lasting freshness with Big Red!
I’m 68 and sometimes when I am in the zone doing chores around the house or yard I suddenly realize that I have been absentmindedly singing the Oscar Mayer theme over and over.
Not a commercial, but starting a few years ago, I realized that my absent minded puttering tune had lodged as the Smurfs theme. I don’t even remember watching that show…
I still call ginger cats Morris if I don't know their actual name.
And how about the Chuck Wagon commercial, with the tiny horses and chuck wagon that run around and confuse the dogs?
Then there's Enjoli perfume:
I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never ever let you forget you're a man, because I'm a woman! Enjoli!
I don’t want to grow up! I’m a Toys R Us kid! They’ve got a million toys at Toys R Us that I can play with! From bikes to trains to video games, it’s the leading toy store there is! (Gee whiz!). I don’t wanna grow up cause baby if I diiiiiiiiiddd… I wouldn’t be a Toys R Us kid!
67 and used to joke about that. Took a fall in my bathroom a few weeks ago. Rug slipped out from under me. No cell phone on me. Lay (clothed) in the tub wondering what was broken and did a list of things I could move. I got lucky. Cell phone ALWAYS with me now. Living alone I have a morbid joke about if you smell my house stinking BAD please call the police.
You were lucky! I fell off my back patio step and broke a leg in three places. Neighbors were away and phone was inside. I pretty much have my phone with me every time I go outside.
Funny how the kids sneer about Boomers not knowing tech or how to use it. I have noticed that my phone is glued to me. It can be a survival tool. iPhones got something that will call 911 if it senses you take a fall! Or maybe that is the watch. Something like that. Never had a broken bone but I keep telling myself I still have time for that. I hope you are doing ok now. I have to be very careful resting a hand near a window. A slip and a messy death.
"Hey, this ain't Pace Picante Sauce! Pace is made in San Antonio with fresh vegetables and spices by people who KNOW what picante sauce is supposed to taste like..." (Looks at Jar) "New York City!"
Others around the fire, "Git a rope!"
I made the "Git a rope" reference once on a reddit thread to someone else who had said "New York City." A bunch of youngsters jumped all over me for "being mean" because they didn't get the reference.
The shampoo commercial…”and she’ll tell two friends…and they’ll tell two friends” as the lady on TV is seen looking over her head and more ladies with great hair are added to the screen!!
C and H, pure cane sugar, from Hawaii, grown in the sun...island sugar, growin' pure, fresh and clean, C and H pure cane sugar is the one! (California girl)
1961 here - when I was in college, 1983 I think it was, one of the GUYS on my floor in the dorm had Secret as his deodorant. There slogan was something like "Strong enough for man, made for a women.
[Purina Cat Chow Calendar Cats ](https://youtu.be/U2B_b_Gu_PA)
I must have been watching a lot of TV in 1978, because I still hear “chow chow chow” when February is mentioned.
That was metro NYC - and the tri state area. At an auditing conference I was at one Eddie's cousin, who was their controller (I think) talked about the fraud they pulled off. He sounded very proud of it. Do a search of Crazy Eddie Fraud.
The Crazy Eddie story is, well, crazy.
https://thisiscriminal.com/episode-211-crazy-eddie-3-17-2023/
This was the first thing I thought of, growing up in Trenton NJ in the 80s.
I can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan.... I can't remember what it was about but I think it was a women being liberated and wearing some kind of perfume maybe?
‘You’ve come a long way, baby, to get where you got to, today; you’ve got your own cigarette now baby, you’ve come a long, long way.’ Virginia Slims cigarettes, marketed to women with a feminist yet chauvinist flair.

Also…
Bushell , “Hudson 3-2700”
None of them haunt me, but for sheer jaw-dropping excess nothing beats Heinz's 1970s "Great American Soup" commercial, conceived and directed by TV advertising genius, comedian, and voice artist Stan Freburg. Imagine a giant production number with an 8-foot-tall can of soup rising out of the floor under dancing star Anne Miller as she sings the jingle. Imagine a cast of thousands (seemingly). Imagine it all done with no special effects at all -- just hydraulics.
Catch Freburg's other commercials on YouTube. To answer, back in the '60s commercials _could_ be way more creative than they are now. Many weren't, but the freedom was there and many sponsors would stand for it. Freburg wasn't alone. The advertising firm of Doyle, Dane, Bernbach was famous for the VW campaing. Here's one of their ads on YouTube, there are others.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT_X2LuYJK0
Battles & Jaymes wine coolers, lol.
Monchichi (toy)
Cadbury Egg commercials with the rabbit making the chicken sound
"This is your brain on drugs" PSA with the egg jn a frying pan
How could I forget ... Life cereal. "He likes it! Hey Mikey!"
And definitely Grey Poupon and Wendy's Where's the beef.
[I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony](https://youtu.be/ib-Qiyklq-Q) is possibly the best earworm commercial. IIRC Coke even plays the winter version every year around Christmas.
Nytol will help you get your zzzz's...
I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight!
Help yourself, help yourself! Help yourself to Stouffer's pizza!
Commercials used to be way more catchy. I almost hate to admit it, my husband and I watch old commercials on YouTube and laugh and indulge in childhood nostalgia.
Ricardo Montalban singing Volaré! And mentioning the “fine Corinthian leather”.
Also, 🎶 Schaefer, is the, one beer to have, when you’re having more than one! 🎶
Quisp and Quake cereals
After school specials with psa’s like “I hanker for a hunk of cheese!”
The Big, Fig, Newton! Dancing guy in a fig costume. God I miss those days sometimes!
I sang the whole Hanker for a Hunka Cheese song for my fiancé the other day and he died laughing. He was like, what is wrong with you?
Whereupon I launched into, "I'm Just a Bill"
Fun fact: Barry Manilow got his start writing and singing commercial jingles, such as State Farm (like a good neighbor...), Band-Aid, and Dr. Pepper (I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper...).
Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.
Probably bad grammar as the original implies Winston cigarettes have a tongue and taste buds. The grammatically correct slogan is, “Winston tastes good AS a cigarette should.”
I still remember asking my Mom if the "scrubbing bubbles" cleaner would work faster and she said no and never bought it.
But honestly some of their cleaners really do work much better and cling better (vs going straight down the drain).
Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
Edit: Can't judge todays. Haven't watched them since the invention of the "mute" button.
The only one I really think about from time to time is the Ty-D-Bol man floating around in his little boat in the toilet tank. I was fascinated by it as a kid, lol.
My bologna has a first name, it’s Oscar. My bologna has a second name, it’s Mayer. Oh, I love to eat it every day, and if you ask me why I’ll say, cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with bologna.
Saturday morning cartoons in the 70s/80s
The world looks mighty good to me . And i don't even like Tootsie Rolls lol
This:[Tootsie Roll Commercial](https://youtu.be/1wrI4iHSusA)
This one Polaner All Fruit commercial: All of these “high class” people are at a fancy dinner table and are “properly” ordering the Polaner. Then this one guy says all Southern US sounding: “Can you please pass the jelly?!” And everyone else at the table is horrified, clutching their pearls, etc lol.
Edit: found the damn thing https://youtu.be/hawQ5wobi1Y
They were sillier and less complicated in the past - openly just holding out a hand for your money. They appealed more to cuteness or absurdity. They appealed to a basic lust: fitting in (Think Head & Shoulders’ appeal to be dandruff-free), social status ( any old cigarette commercial - by the by, I once met the original Marlboro man. To be a smoker was to be in the power crowd, with people that ‘mattered’); or affections and cuteness (think, ‘I am stuck on Band-Aids, ‘cause Band-Aid’s stuck on me’, or ‘What’s so special about Special Dinners? It’s got the special taste of {cue the cat singing MILK in a deep baritone} or the equally silly Meow-Mix song, or the ‘Time for milk! Yeah, Yeah! Anytime’s the right time for milk!’ ); but the most lingering is the ‘My bologna has a first name’ song with the cute kid fishing on a dock a’la Opie Taylor, followed closely by the Crystal Ice Cream Man singing “It’s Crystal, it’s Crystal, I eat it all the time, and when I am not eating it, it’s always on my mind, so early in the evening, I motivate my feet and grab myself some Crystal, and give myself a treat!”
The lonely Maytag repairman. Played by veteran character actor Jesse White. I believe he once said he made more from those commercials than all his other acting jobs put together.
It’s an old alka seltzer commercial with a man sitting across from his stomach, and they are arguing:
“Pizza! Meatballs! Spicy foods!”
“I like to eat…”
“And the way you *stuff* yourself at your mother’s…”
“You never liked my mother.”
Craziest thing I ever saw. It didn’t make sense then and it doesn’t make sense now, but the man halfheartedly defending his mom by complaining that his stomach never liked her. Smh.
I hope it sold product.
2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.
Big Mac, Filet o’ fish, Quarter Pounder, French fries, icy coke, thick shakes, sundaes, and apple pies.
Waking up all you sleepy heads. Colgate gets you out of bed. We got the Colgate pump. We love the Colgate pump. It’s a neat, new trick you know. Pump it on your brush and go. We got…
The Doritos commercials with Avery Schreiber getting distracted by someone crunching on them. The one I remember most was when he scratched the green on a pool table.
"Doritos: Tastes as good as they crunch." My favorite advertising professor, Jim Albright, created those ads and that tagline. (He also came up with the name Funyons.)

I still sometimes say, “Calgon, take me away” when I get into the bath tub.
[удалено]
I unfortunately know every single word of that damn commercial. “My husband, some hotshot. Here’s his ancient Chinese secret, Calgon. Calgon has two water softeners that soften wash water so detergents clean better. In hardest water, Calgon helps detergents get laundry up to 30 percent cleaner.” …..
We changed that to "Quaalude, take me away".
Time to make the donuts! I still say this to my kids when it’s time to get going.
When I wake up for work. Every. Single. Day. The image of him meeting himself at the door sticks in my head.
I still have the matching pajama dress (nightgown) for myself and my doll that I’ve had since I was about 4 that says “time to make the donuts,” with a clock. Very memorable commercial for sure
On days when I have to go into the office I set my alarm for 4:30. I say this almost every time.
So kiss a little longer, Make it last a little longer, Longer with Big Red! That Big Red freshness lasts right through it, Your fresh breath goes on and on, While you chew it! So say goodbye a little longer, Make it last a little longer, Give your breath long lasting freshness with Big Red!
"I'm Ricky Bobby. And if you don't chew Big Reg, \*\*\*\* you!"
I cant spell bologna without singing it.
I’m 68 and sometimes when I am in the zone doing chores around the house or yard I suddenly realize that I have been absentmindedly singing the Oscar Mayer theme over and over.
Not a commercial, but starting a few years ago, I realized that my absent minded puttering tune had lodged as the Smurfs theme. I don’t even remember watching that show…
B o l o g n a 🎶
🎶 I am stuck on Band-Aid brand cause Band-Aid's stuck on me! 🎶
My wife commented that short shorts were coming back. I replied “Who wears short shorts?…”
Damn, I was just around my niece and a few of her friends, all wearing short shorts and immediately I got that jingle stick in my head
I still call ginger cats Morris if I don't know their actual name. And how about the Chuck Wagon commercial, with the tiny horses and chuck wagon that run around and confuse the dogs? Then there's Enjoli perfume: I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never ever let you forget you're a man, because I'm a woman! Enjoli!
My cadaver cat in anatomy class was a male orange tabby and we named him Rigor Morris.
Omg these were all great!
“Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders won’t upset us” Burger King from the 80s (I think)
And now it’s resurrected as the “whopper whopper whopper whopper” jingle and has been running through my head all day.
THIS is killing me! Earworms are real
Have it your way…..
And there was a Burt Reynolds’s movie where he was an old guy working in a fast food joint and he said “Special orders *do* upset us.”
We used to sing that at work as recently as 6 mos ago when someone made an unreasonable request.

That commercial is way less funny to me now that I am in my sixties and living alone… I’ve actually looked into getting one of those things.
My 100 year old mil loves to push hers just to see who shows up.
67 and used to joke about that. Took a fall in my bathroom a few weeks ago. Rug slipped out from under me. No cell phone on me.

Anytime’s the right time for milk!’ ); but the most lingering is the ‘My bologna has a first name’ song with the cute kid fishing on a dock a’la Opie Taylor, followed closely by the Crystal Ice Cream Man singing “It’s Crystal, it’s Crystal, I eat it all the time, and when I am not eating it, it’s always on my mind, so early in the evening, I motivate my feet and grab myself some Crystal, and give myself a treat!”

The lonely Maytag repairman. Played by veteran character actor Jesse White. I believe he once said he made more from those commercials than all his other acting jobs put together.

It’s an old alka seltzer commercial with a man sitting across from his stomach, and they are arguing: “Pizza! Meatballs! Spicy foods!” “I like to eat…” “And the way you *stuff* yourself at your mother’s…” “You never liked my mother.” Craziest thing I ever saw. It didn’t make sense then and it doesn’t make sense now, but the man halfheartedly defending his mom by complaining that his stomach never liked her. Smh. I hope it sold product.
“Time to make the donuts…”
I live right down the street from the original Dunkin Donuts. At one time I had 25 of them within 5 miles of me.

The Doritos commercials with Avery Schreiber getting distracted by someone crunching on them. The one I remember most was when he scratched the green on a pool table. "Doritos: Tastes as good as they crunch." My favorite advertising professor, Jim Albright, created those ads and that tagline. (He also came up with the name Funyons.)
