This is just to take a little breather from all things Trump, Obama's cave to Iran, and the sadness over 5 brave Americans getting massacred by a home-grown Islamic terrorist.
So then, what are YOUR favorite TV commercials? And enjoy!!!
The old BIC pen being shot out of a rifle ads.
Ditto on the Apple commercial.
The Geico Abraham Lincoln is the funniest ad of all time, and I go back to TV in the 50s.
Frank Zappa’s TV commercial for the Roxy and Elsewhere album in 1974.
That and the Ban deodorant spray commercial where a dirty bandito on horseback lifts up his poncho and gives it a shot.
Oh, and the old Hai Karate aftershave commercial where a nerdy looking guy goes nuts in an apartment after using it...
And don’t forget the one where the same guy who played Oddjob in “Goldfinger” is on his way down the sidewalk coughing up a storm, chopping at trees an taking the heads off of statues until he arrives on his own doorstep where his dutiful wife greets him with a tablespoon of Vick’s Formula 44. Ahh-sooo!
I wouldn't condemn him to hell just for that. What an awful tune.
I don't think JITB chain reached across the country. Never saw an ad for that chain.
Also the NFL on Fox “It’s Good to Have a Ring” TSA/airport commercial:

"How Many Licks Does It Take...?"
Or the best of all...Vic Tayback in the Parkay commercial;
I remember a 7-Up commercial from the late 50s or early 60s. The line was, “When friends drop in.....serve 7-Up!”.....the video shows a mob attacking a castle with torches and pitchforks.
I enjoyed watching that commercial. I have tried to find it but cannot.
I really loved the Straight Talk commercial where “everybody gets their own little baby CHICKEN on their own little baby PLATE.”
Hoffman Jingle at the 9 min mark.

I lived in upstate NY at that time, and WABC was always in my ear via transistor radio.
SuNNNNday—at National Speedway...Big John Mazzmanian....
I still use a T-Radio to this day, but it sits on the counter top.
I have a vague collection of a Dr. Pepper commercial long ago that I thought was hilarious - about a Red or Communist party. Also long ago, there was a pizza commercial (forgot which company) about a meat pizza being delivered accidentally to a group of vegetarians.
Now this is difficult...there are so many great commercials over the decades!
One commercial that used to great me up were the Bob Uecker Miller Lite commercials. In particular was the one where he’s at the ball game and security asks him to move to another seat. Bob responds: “Oh, must be the front row!” The commercial ends with him sitting in the “nose bleed” seats. :-D
I had a friend, who had the unfortunate last name of Figneito (I think I am spelling that right).
He was a little round, so, the Fig Newton Song was very popular around him.
He took it in stride and was actually a really good friend. Wish I knew what happened to him.
