Are there any TV commercials that you have fond memories of?

Asked by jca2 (16889points) 1 month ago

Are there any TV commercials that you remember fondly, either because they’re classic, or from a certain time in your life that they bring back memories?

I remember a few from when I was little, like “You can’t fool Mother Nature” and “That’s a spicy meatball.” Those of you who are over 50 will remember those, probably.

Also, in 2007 when I was home on maternity leave, a commercial that was on all the time and had a catchy tune was this one for a cable company. It had a fun beach scene, funny stuff and the catchy Reggaeton music.

I remember as a very young child loving the Frosty Morn commercials with the little pigs singing “Sing it over and over and over again, Frosty Morn.”

I loved the one where the little hand-drawn kid yells, “I want my MAYYYPO!!” (Maypo is similar to oatmeal with a maple flavor added and a little different texture.”

There were also a lot of Christmas ads I liked, and one with a family gathering on tables stretched out in a field with Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major playing. I think it was for wine.

My mom said that when I was little – 2–3 years – I would come running in to watch the tv when I heard commercials. I’m guessing it’s because they were louder so they got my attention.

The Coke commercials with the bear, coke with hippies holding hands. The dog food wagon running thru the kitchen. The Budweiser frogs. Enjoli commercials with the black panther. Marlboro man cowboy spots.

I always liked the Sandy Duncan ads for United California Bank .

Crocker Bank also featured a cover of the Carpenters We’ve only Just Begun
