The 1976 ad for the diet soda called Tab. A woman who resembled
Jaclyn Smith sat by a fountain that had glasses of water perched on
its rim. She gently told viewers that the only drink with fewer
calores than Tab is water.
Whatever that actress is doing today, she doesn't deserve to be fat.

There was an ad for Harvey's Bristol Cream that had a posh modern
woman (Jaclyn Smith?) calling a guy to make a date over at her place.
Mostly I remember it from a Sat. Night Live parody where Gilda Radner
as the woman discovers the other side of the coin, as several calls
have the men brushing her off. She finally goes to the window and
yells down "Hey! You! You want some Harley's Bristol Cream? Yeah, come
on up!" The ad ends with Bill Murray's derelict character in her place
muttering 'Whoa, I'm really *spinning* on this stuff!'

I used to watch those Calgon ads too (had one on tape but lost it in the
ensuing years). A Family Guy episode of years back had Stewie remarking

Where they on the CBC? I believe SCTV once lampooned them in an episode
that spoofed the CBC back in the early '80s. I've been getting the CBC
on my cable dial for years (CBET-TV Windsor), though it seemd to normal
to me to watch it as a kid, I couldn't tell the difference!

Heh, usually hear that while watching "Roger & Me", such a shame what

This is a true story:
I went to go see David Lynch's Mulholland Drive at a revival style
single screen theater. Before the movie started, they showed some old
commercials for "fun" (I guess) including this one: It was for a
women's deodorant (I think)and featured two young (early 20s?) women
who obviously shared an apt. getting ready for work. They both were
dressed only in towels wrapped around themselves(after their
showers?). The camera's point of view was from behind their bathroom
mirror. One of the women was "together" and calm, the other one was
frazzled and made self-deprecating comments about her hair, etc. Up to
this point, this was the identical commercial as it appeared on TV,
because I remember it well. (In fact, it may not have been for a
deodorant, but for that weird hair product, PSSSSSST). So, you have
this scenario: these two attractive women getting ready for work or
dates, wearing just bath towels. Now, in the TV version, the
commercial ends with the "together" one recommending the product the
commercial is selling to the frazzled one. But in this version (and I
swear it was the original because I recognized the actresses - this
was not a remake!), after the together girl "pitched" the product, the
frazzled one said something like "Oh, you're so wonderful." and she
whips off her towel (nude underneath), takes off her roommates towel
(who was likewise nude), and they get into hot and heavy clinch,
kissing and fondling passionately in no time. I couldn't tell from
this if it was an outtake, it was planned, or WTF this was about! But
it sure as well surprised me!
Seeing this in front of Mullholland Drive just added to the whole
surrealistic event. The friend who was with me is too young to
remember the original commercial, but I kept telling him that this WAS
the orginal until the surprise ending. The actresses appeared to
really be into the scene, not cracking up on anything and going into a
lip lock that meant business.
A memorable moment in a theater, to say the least.

Sometimes Usenet makes me feel very, very old. Geoffrey Holder will
always be the Imp, from the U.S. Steel Hour production of The Bottle Imp
(back in the 50s, and remade at least once since with Holder). In fact,
his persona in the 7-Up commercials is modeled on that iconic performance.

Great American Soup -- and it started out with Ann
dressed as a housewife, who, when her husband asks what's for supper, whips
off her housedress & apron, revealing a
spangled dance costume beneath, then taps her heart out in a routine
complete with blonde chorines, finally standing on top
of the giant soup can rising up out of the floor. Then, as she spins back
into the kitchen, her husband says, "Emily, why do
you have to make such a big production out of everything?"
A beautiful piece of camp. And actually, the soup wasn't bad, either.

I remember reading the book and thinking he would have made a great
main villian if they'd done the story right.
I also remember he was in a movie about pirates, he'd played a
mysterious character with knives in a bandolaro across his chest. At
one point, the king's men have caught the good guys and are marching
them up to the gate of the town, Holder is standing there, fist on
hips, blocking the entranceway;
GUARD: Stand aside for the king's army!
HOLDER: Army? I see no army. Monkeys, maybe. Chimpanzees perhaps, but
no army!

I'm pretty sure my favorite is a 70s commercial... but I have to
backtrack.
There used to be a commercial for Lark where a flatbed truck would
drive past people while the people on the back of the truck would hold
up a sign saying "Show Us Your Lark" - and of course, everyone they
passed would have a pack of Larks. All the while, the William Tell
Overture was playing in the background.
OK, a party scene. A gurney comes out of the kitchen with a sign on it
that reads "Show Us Your Geno's Pizza Rolls" and of course everybody
they pass has a box of Geno's Pizza Rolls. And the William Tell
Overture is playing in the background with new lyrics for Geno's Pizza
Rolls.
The group get to the end of the room and are congratulating themselves
for the commercial when a guy with a pack of Larks stops them and
says; "I want to talk to you about that theme music you're using."
WHAM! Big hand comes onto his shoulder and the Lone Ranger is standing
behind him WITH Tonto; "Funny. I've been meaning to talk to you people
about the same thing!"

Yep, the dynamic of that show is pretty accurate (although translate it to
the early '80s for us...Nova Scotia always was a little behind the times),
right down to the Hyde-Eric-Kelso friendship (I was the Eric of the group,
and dated a girl who looked a bit like Laura Prepon...*sigh*)

Is that from one of the ads they used to run during the moon missions?
Ah, now *there's* a memory from a '70s childhood. The days when there used
to be missions to the moon, covered each time as if it were the Olympics,
complete with all those commercials for Tang and those animated moon men.

This one was, of course, a parody of the Lark ad. Those Energizer folks
weren't the first to parodize other people's commercials.

A classic. The only way they could have made it better was if Rossini had
still been alive to step in and give the last word: "BTW, about those
royalties..."
Interestingly enough, a few years ago Target was doing an ad with Scott
Hamilton driving around town asking people to "Show us your Target Card."
I was immediately reminded of these "Show Us Your ____ Pack" ads. I
thought everyone else had forgotten them.

The Alka-Seltzer commercial where a squiggly line drawing of a stomach

Well, your friend may well be right; German was never our strong suit. We
were just remembering the pronunciation from our college days. Almost seems
like it came up in phonetics class.
Just looked further and found "LUH ven broy" and "LOO vein broy" as other
possible ways of saying it.
Maybe "brewski" is the best!

One of the coffee commercials became famous because a guy
in a towel walked by in the background of the women's

Other coffee commercials: "This is Juan Valdez. He only

beans for ??? Coffee." (I think Juan Valdez later joined
with Che Guevara to get rid of El Exigente.)

"Carolina, the extra long grain rice." (jingle)
Crazy Eddie commercials (in New York) got parodied a lot.
The guy who played Crazy Eddie in the commercial was not
actually Crazy Eddie. I think Crazy Eddie got busted or
went bankrupt or something.
AAMCO, a national chain doing auto repair also got busted
for cheating customers. Commercial: "A A (honk honk) M C O".
Jesse White was the original lonely Maytag Repair Man
in a long running series of commercials.

Imperial Margarine had the "pum-papa-PAH!" crown appear on the taster's
head. Parkay margarine was the one where Mother Nature was fooled into
thinking it's butter and was sorely pissed.
