  • Whats ads will you never forget from growing up? or a commercial jingle that pops into you head sometimes.

    One that I remember well is the "Be like Mike " songs back in the day when gatorade only had 3 flavors and they all care in glass bottles.
     
    The old Lite beer from Miller ones with guys like Joe Frazier, Rodney Dangerfield, Bob Uecker, Bubba Smith . . .

    This may be a lloydsev kind of admission, but when my best friend and I were in 7th grade we actually drew up a script for one of these ensemble Lite ads and sent it in to the company. We got a nice letter back from some VP saying they appreciated the effort but had exclusive contracts with an ad agency.

    On the local level, the Bobby Layman as Jesus ads were memorably awful.

    If you live in Columbus, you probably have seen the Trunk Monkey commercials from Byers. That commercial is the funniest I have ever seen.

    Strangely enough through searching just now, I found that Byers isn't the only one that has used these commercials. Here's a link I found of them.

    I grew up without a TV, but there was a McDonalds commercial from my early days at tOSU that has been stuck in my head for 2 FREAKIN' DECADES!!!

    "It's no use brothers
    I've tried all the others
    Been all around
    but I've never found
    anything that even sounds
    as good as a McDonald's Quarter Pounder
    With cheese to please
    and french fries to defy
    any other to even try
    to satisfy my needs
    When 100% beef is a must
    It's McDonald's that I trust
    'Cause I'm a meat-n-potatoes man
    So please understand
    From my humble point of view
    It will alway be McDonald's and me and you"


    PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!! :tic:
