Subject: fave 80's commercials

Written By: eightiesfan on 09/25/03 at 11:11 a.m.

Wendy's put out a couple of commercials in the 80's that I thought were pretty funny - Where's the Beef? and the Russian fashion show.

i remember the caramilk secret commercials (i think they only showed them in canada). one in particular was about this man who would give anything to know the 'caramilk secret' and the person who he was talking to was all in dark and in shadows (you knew he was satan) and he said in a dark and ominous voice "anything".

My wife and I disagree on a commercial from the eighties.  It is listed on this site as a Memorex commercial but I believe it was an appliance store commercial (Highland Appliance in the Detroit area).  The commercial starts with a boy playing piano, the phone rings and his mom (or teacher) answers and says Johny can't come out and play, he is practicing piano.  The boy then rewinds a reel to reel tape, climbs out the window and is seen running and tossing a football into the air.  If anyone knows how I can find information or the video clip of this commercial, please let me know.  Thanks.

probably;
1. my little pony - my party pony commercial (UK ver.), (for twice as fancy ponies.)
2. stretch armstrong. Because this was one of my fav. toys!
3. playdoh fun factory.

I liked that Mikey commercial too; as a little kid I even had all the words memorized to it. Another commercial that came to my mind on my way to work this morning was the Heinz Ketchup commercial featuring that song "Anticipation" (although I guess that would be more of a 70's commercial)
