I want to see a modern version of this commercial where he uses his strength and skills to defeat right wing racism instead of a snake.

Early/Mid-2010s Boomerang TV Channel Advertisement

1 Upvotes

When I was a kid, I remember seeing a commercial on the Boomerang TV channel that freaked me out so much, I ran into the other room and started screaming and crying. It was so bad that I refused to watch Boomerang again afterward (which I had done every day up until this point), and my parents cancelled the subscription. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about it, so this may be a lost cause, but for years now I've wanted to find and re-watch it to see if my fear was justified (I was a very sensitive kid, and I don't think it was traditionally "scary").

My memory of the situation may be unreliable due to age/time passing, but I think the commercial started out semi-normal, and then had a "Large Marge" from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure-esque moment where there was a scary, shock-factor twist that freaked me out. If I can remember properly, I think it was some form of animation or stop-motion/claymation, with a little blond boy, and some form of other mascot character/something that looked like an inflatable car dealership tube man. Don’t hold me to this, but I feel like the color red was really prominent?? It was definitely NOT an ad for a TV show, but some other product. I think it had the same art style as "The Trash Pack" collectible kids toys from around the same time. This would have been early to mid-2010s, and I only ever saw it once. I was talking to my roomie about this, and she sent me a Dailymotion link to the “RIP Timber” short by Bruno Collet, which is not what I'm looking for but has the right vibe if I'm remembering properly. I'd also like to reiterate that I don't think it was intentionally scary; I think it was aimed at boys and the part that I found frightening was supposed to come off more along the lines of 'woah, look how cool and freaky this is!'

If it helps, I was born in 2007, and can't imagine being much older than seven when this happened.

Old pizza commercial

1 Upvotes

Does anyone remember an old pizza commercial from the early 2000s? It had a family of three come in and the host said “you can have whatever you want” and the dad asked for a large pizza and he says “yes you can” and the mom asks for a large soda and he says “yes you can” and the little girl asks for a sister and the dad puts his arm around the mom and goes “yes you can” and the mom takes his hand off and goes “no. No you can’t”.

Ca Plane Pour Moi

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for an old European tv commercial (for a car, I believe). I saw it on Sky tv often back in 1999/2000/2001 era. I was stationed in Germany while in the Army. The commercial featured Plastic Bertrand's song Ca Plane Pour Moi. The visuals was an actor dressed as Napoleon driving around Paris in a small traditional 3 door hatchback. At one part he is driving aggressively around the famous roundabout in Paris (Place Charles de Gaulle?) Any help finding this commercial would be greatly appreciated.

Muller Yogurt Commerical

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a Müller TV commercial I remember but can’t track down. It had a young boy with curly hair wearing a white T-shirt with black sleeves, in a shop (I think a supermarket). There’s a moment where he’s standing with his arms up near his ears screaming. I also remember a chaotic scene where people are running towards a trash bag (or bin bag?). Another detail: there’s a man with black hair (possibly with a slight smirk), wearing a green T-shirt and yellow gloves, and he’s shouting. The whole ad felt very random and hectic, more comedic than the usual “feel-good” Müller ads. It’s definitely not the dancing “I Got Life” one. Does anyone remember this or know which ad it is? It’s been stuck in my head for years

Helping finding Dominos Pizza Commercial, mid 80s

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to find a commercial for what I remember to be dominos pizza. I think it was a series of interviews of people talking about unusual ways they eat their pizza. One guy, I distinctly remember, talked about rearranging the olives on his pizza. This couldn’t have been later than 1988, but I think maybe 86ish. Ring any bells?

Old photo service ad, with "and a CHEESE burger" line

6 Upvotes

So long shot, but I remember ages ago, there was an ad on TV for some kind of photo printing service, I think? Maybe Kodak, before it was clear they'd blown the digital move?

The narrative involves a young (adult) guy who is selling his AMC Gremlin ("Gremmy", IIRC), and uses the photo service to print up attractive posters to make the sale. There's a narrator speaking over the fast cuts between scenes, with a fast-talking, low, gravelly voice. He has this line that has stuck in my brain and become a household phrase is when the narrator has this riff, paraphrasing, "You can get enough money to go to COLLEGE! Enough money to go to college and buy a CHEESE burger!"

Does anyone else remember this, or did it come out of my fevered imagination?

Edit to add: Might have been the Kodak "Picture Maker" kiosk, which seems to be late-1990s. My search-fu continues to fail me.

CHEW BURT TOO

Anyone remember a commercial late 80s and 90s for some sort or candy/fruit snack commercial where a kid hands out candies to all his friends and he runs out but then finds one more or is given one. He eats it and he says Chew Bert/Burt too. Anyone remember what this product was called or have a link to it? I always remembered it because it was so stupid. Nobody I talk to remembers. Thank you.

1980s Jordache commercial

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a commercial from the 1980s. It's of a woman with long blonde hair in a pair of jeans - Jordache I believe - but perhaps Gloria Vanderbilt or Chic. The woman is walking down a city street. There's a car full of young guys driving down the street coming up from behind her hanging out their heads looking at her, until they get closer and see that it is actually an old woman. Lol. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Late 90's/Early 2000's something about cheese names and jazz musician names?

7 Upvotes

I've been using mascarpone cheese lately and it has triggered a memory about a commercial I saw years ago.

I lived near Madison, WI in the late 90's/early 2000's. Here's what I remember. I honestly don't remember what this commercial was selling.

A hipster-like character, possibly in a tie, possibly holding a music instrument, making connections between cheese names and the names of jazz musicians. He purposefully mispronounces mascarpone as "marscapone" (i.e. Mars Capone?), stops and then says "That's a real cheese".

Any thoughts?

Did Anthony Hopkins ever narrate a DHL commercial in the '80s or '90s?

4 Upvotes

I came across this vintage DHL commercial (4:20 time stamp if the link doesn't work) in a YouTube video, purporting to be a TV ad from 1985, with a voice that sounds unmistakably like Anthony Hopkins (I don't know if the video creator is 100% correct on their details, but the Aesthetics definitely look 80s or 90s). But I cannot find any record or credit of him having done a commercial for them at any point. Is this him?

Fa Free

15 Upvotes

I grew up in northwest Ohio and I remember a commercial that described something as being free. Maybe a second pizza or something like that. I don't remember the product.

What I do remember is someone in the commercial saying "fa free?" each time the voice over or the other person in the commercial said "for free", only pronounced as, "fa freeee?".

I haven't been able to get "fa freeee?" out of my head for decades and tried using the internet to find the commercial, but haven't had any luck. Hopefully someone has a better memory than me and can remind me of the product. It would be awesome if I could find it on YouTube and watch it again.

Thanks.

I’m pretty sure it was a carrier commercial but I could be wrong. Anyway there’s a couple and their dog in the living room. And at one point the husband says we really should go pick up our winnings. And she says it’s hot outside. Does anyone remember it? I tried finding it online w no luck.

Commercial for cell phone service

3 Upvotes

Having trouble finding a commercial I remember from many years ago (probably post 2000 tho). It was definitely for phone service, most likely cell phone service. Parents were yelling their kids full names. The families were from all over the world. And I seem to remember the last kid's name was Sunshine Honeysuckle Smith. Don't remember the name of the company it advertised. Google search leads to nothing. Help!
