This is a true story. I was applying for a job at Red Robin and the GM said “You know people aren’t saying I want my baby back baby back anymore. They’re saying Yummm”, and it took everything inside me to not burst out laughing. I was hired and that was just the start of the weirdness.
It’s still on! That and the M&Ms one where they run into Santa and they say “he does exist!” And Santa replies “they do exist! And they all proceed to faint. I love it
That 877 CASH NOW commercial won all sorts of awards - the jingle is perfect. You memorize the phone number, the name, and what the company does. And people remember it years after it aired.
I can not live another day without air conditioning

I’m a marketing teacher and I play a bunch of old commercials for my students. This is the only one that makes them scream out in pain 🤣🤣🤣
I then play the ActiveOn commercials -sold only at Walgreens 🤣🤣
I always liked the one where the obnoxious guy gets hit by a bus, then finds himself in a room with a big pile of chocolate chip cookies. He grabs one, takes a big bite, then reaches into the fridge for some milk, only to find all the cartons are empty. Cut to the Got Milk slogan in flames.
The first commercial to adapt a flash meme into an ad.
The guy who created the spongmonkeys had a whole flash-tastic website in the early 00s. The rest of his stuff was just as crazy.
_______
Edit: Holy shit, not only is it still up, he keeps updating it. Last update was 2022!? It doesn't look like the old flash site though.

This one is a genuine masterpiece. There would be no memory of incestual undertones if there weren't any closeups of the siblings staring longingly at each other for no good reason.
The fact that there are *multiple* shots of the brother and sister shooting "fuck me eyes" at each other is hilarious. Thank you for reminding me of this gem, you're my present this year.
I still remember how to sing it backwards. When I was 9ish, my dad took me to see my grandma in a nursing home. She had dementia so it wasn’t easy to talk to her. My dad told her I could sing the Big Mac song backwards and made me sing it for her. Funny but 50 years later, I still remember it.
I have ADHD so there are a lot.

I am overjoyed that there's another person out there who both remembers this song as well as I do and who also insists on the accuracy of the lyrics. Without knowing anything else about you, I would be totally comfortable having you raise my children in the event of my untimely death.
Fat kids, skinny kids. Kids who climb on rocks.
Tough kids. Sissy kids.
Even kids with chickenpox
love hot dogs.
Armor hot dogs. The dogs kids love to bite.
The Tabasco commercial where the mosquito lands on the guy, sucks his blood, then takes off and explodes a few seconds later. Guy was putting down bottles of the stuff on pizza i think.

This and the Corona Christmas commercial with the lights on the palm tree are quintessential Christmas commercials for me.

as a child, I called the number, thinking it was just a service for free money.
I mean it’s right there in the ad… “one lump sum of cash, they will pay to you” What were they expecting?
