Classic Commercials

[snickerd3]

If you grew up in the Chicago metropolitan area in the late 80/early 90s then you would remember the Eagle Man commercials.

two blonde females get into an accident and the driver says she doesn't have insurance. Then all of a sudden there was a thud on the roof. They look at each other and say IT MUST BE EAGLE MAN! they get out of the car and there is a guy dressed in an bird costume and says I've got something for you, is a stupid attempt at a bird voice. then the camera pans to him sitting on an large egg which contains car insurance, if I recall correctly. Thent he girls say something along the line of look at those low rates.

I had a Where's the Beef button when I was five. It was huge.

Denver folks might get this one- remember when they got a new Shagman for Rocky's Autos? I think the original may have had a heart attack.

I also like that Cadbury has been using the same bunny commercial for years.

These are probably way before anybody's time -

Plop plop, fizz fizz - Alka Seltzer

I can't believe I ate the whole thing - Alka Seltzer again.

"It's too big to eat" - Rodney Alan Rippy for Jack in the Box.

And "Where's the Beef" of course.

That commercial is 20 years old? I guess I am getting old.

Oh, no. I remember the Alka Seltzer and Where's the Beef ones.

Anyone else grow up in the greater NY area and hear all the commercials between Crazy Eddie's and Nobody Beats the Wiz ads in the 80s?

There's the Aiwa commercial from the 90's with a hearse driver jamming to "Another One Bites the Dust". Of course, I still contend the best in recent years is the Fedex/Kinko's commercial with the discussion of everyone's flaws:

Manager: "Rick, can you fold under pressure for me? Rick: "Like a lawn chair."
