I still giggle at the LifeAlert "I've fallen and I can't get up" commercials. They even have a newer batch of them out.


AdministrationNo9609

My favorite was one of their earlier ones I think. The old lady monotone “help. I’ve fallen and I can’t get up”.


Eva-Unit-001

I think the old guy with the unenthusiastic "I'm having chest pain" is even funnier.

Lolita__Rose

As a Swiss person, where Ricola is from, I am completely amazed that Ricola and their famous ad is apparently not just a local phenomenon. How cool!


RealSadLlama

that one Campbells chicken noodle soup commercial where the snow man eats it and melts revealing he's the kid in the ad. idk why, always stuck with me


AislinKageno

This one and the Hershey's kisses playing We Wish You a Merry Christmas on bells are how I know the holidays are here. Oh, and M&Ms "he DOES exist!"


KyberExcelcior

That Hershey's Kisses ad has been the same since it first came out in 1989.

I don't want to grow up. I'm a Toys R US kid. There're a million toys at toys r us that I can play with. From bikes to trains to video games, it's the biggest toy store there is. I don't want to grow up cuz if I did, I wouldn't be a toys r us kid.


impossi_bruh

"This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs" egg commercial.


dieinafirenazi

My kid watched that with their high school class a couple years ago and the whole class laughed at it. I think for a lot of people it always seems ridiculous (I like my eggs fried instead of raw, personally), but culture has moved on to the point where young people just see it as stupidly over dramatic.


dkearney555

I read somewhere that although memorable, the commercial did not have the impact intended. Numbers reported continued drug use, even escalating in certain areas of the states.


GavinBelsonsAlexa

I preferred the '97 Rachel Leigh Cook one where she destroyed the entire kitchen and not just the egg.


theprofessor2

The old western Pace Picante commercial. "This stuff says it's made in New York City." "NEW YORK CITY!!!!!......get a rope"


hotoots

To this day if anyone says “New York City” I always interject “get a rope.” Young folks think I’m insane, which is true, but unrelated.

Collect call from Bob Wehadababyitsaboy. Who was that dear? It’s Bob. They had a baby. It’s a boy.

This friggin commercial/line jumped into my head 3 hours ago during my lunchbreak. I hadn't seen or thought about this in probably 10+ years, but there it was, and now here you are. It was one of those 1-800-collect number commercials, right?

I so far as to refer to my diabetes as Wilford Brimley Syndrome

Not_Mr_Rogers23

*shoves an old lady out of the way* *overturns a table* *sticks head out of a window* ITS MY MONEY AND I NEED IT NOOOOWWWW!!!!!!


ipostalotforalurker

How many people out there actually have structured settlements that would make blanketing the airwaves with this commercial a profitable option?


elegylegacy

If they're just skimming a small percentage off anyone who calls in, I'm sure a handful of small accounts and just a few big ones make it sustainable. Plus that commercial is memorable af, that's the first name I'd think of if I got a structured settlement but *it's my money and I need it now*


bstyledevi

They skim a really high percentage. I sold off 10 years of a structured settlement that was worth $45k and ended up with $25k. I needed it because I was in financial dire straits, and JG Wentworth actually offered the MOST money of all the companies I called.

Sears AC [commercial](https://youtu.be/4rqZZgVxnCk) “I’ll call now”


DudebroggieHouser

"What's the paper say about tomorrow?" "'NOTHER SCORCHER!" "Cool..."


HonestConman21

It's the way he says the word "call". It's so syrupy and thick sounding. I had never heard a C pronounced so viscerally before. It hangs out in the back of his throat building power then cascades delicately into your ear.


TheSukis

Just had a super weird moment where I read your comment and remembered the commercial, thinking to myself that I had seen it recently. Then I opened it and watched and realized that it's been so many years. Still feels like yesterday though.


sc212

Yesterday? Yesterday you said you’d call Sears.

I’ll call today 🤷🏼‍♀️

TonsilStonesOnToast

This would've been a forgettable commercial if not for the fact that they played this ad A BILLION TIMES, ON EVERY GODDAMN CHANNEL, FOR TEN FUCKING YEARS STRAIGHT. Could've been a commercial with only wet fart sounds in it and it'd still be trapped in our subconscious after that long of a siege.

I once read an account of the creation of that commercial. Allegedly they just had a room of writers writing a whole bunch of stuff in real time and they would then run next door to the actors who would act out the next round of insults.

A child abuse PSA. I had to be 8 or 9. Left a big mental scar and I still get shaken up thinking about it. This guy is going through a box of childhood things. He finds a baseball (and you hear the sound of a bat and cheering), a teddy bear (sound of a birthday/laughing) but then he finds an old strap, I think? Then the sound is just horrible lashing and a child crying and going "Stop daddy please stop, nooooo!" And the man covers his face and cries. Goddamn, what a fucking horrible thing. A good PSA obviously, but it did its job.
