Best commercial(s) of all time?

Posted on 08/09/2014 7:52:03 PM PDT by MNDude

We all see tens of thousands of commercials in our lifetime, but there's probably a few that really standout... Where's The Beef?, Apple's 1984, Mikey likes Life cereal, etc. What's your favorite commercial(s) of all time.

My favorite was a radio commercial in 1967-8. It was a jingle sung to the tune of “O, Tannenbaum.” It was a commercial for Robert Hall clothiers. It went ...

O, Robert Hall, O, Robert Hall,
O, how we love your parking lot...

...sale.

Without a doubt, the Coke commercial with Mean Joe Green and the kid. PURE CLASS!

Coca Cola Mean Joe Green, and the Budweiser 9/11 tribute, actually just about ALL the Budweiser Commercials, especially the one with the puppy.

The Japanese takeoff of the kid with the SUMO wrestler was better, and a lot more funny!

“Radio and recording comedian turned TV advertising genius Stan Freberg once told a hilarious story about the TV commercial that may have been his masterwork. Singer and dancer Ann Miller would headline a team of chorus girls in a 1930s-type number for Heinz Great American Soups, and it would be directed like a Busby Berkley-type revue from that era...by the then-retired Busby Berkley himself.

The commercial was expensive enough—it had a kitchen that broke away to reveal a large stage, and a giant can of soup that came out of the floor while Miller danced on top of it—but still, they could only afford 20 dancers. And Berkley was used to directing huge revues, with as many as 100 and counting. So when he arrived for work, Freberg and his people broke it to him that he wouldn’t quite have a hundred dancers. The great showman responded, “Eh, don’t worry, I can even make 50 girls look like a hundred!”

If you watched the Tonight Show in the 70s, you’ll remember this one.

Japanese Bathtub Commercial.

I remember the MSM going nuts over that. It wasn't PC and the terrorists
were going to be angry.

I know this: that stupid Sprint “Framily” ad is the worst.

Anyone remember the classic ad for shake’n’bake, with the little southern black girl? “it’s shake and bake. And I helped.” I wanted to show the ad to my kids but it’s no where to be found.
