All the retro sites show the ones we've seen 100,000 times..Does anyone remember or have vivid memories about 80s commercials or PSA that few people other than you can seem to remember? I have a few..

1. Very early 80s..a commercial for Silverstone Cookwear which demonstrated the non-stickiness of it by cooking metal letters (that spelled Silverstone) in eggs, pancakes..for some reason I loved this as a kid.

2. Commercials for a brand of deodorant called TICKLE..may have even been late 70s, but I seem to remember this

3. A commercial..I want to say mid-late 80s..I THINK for a bathroom cleaning product in which a couple has a date..but the man's wife is spending too much time in the bathroom..I think he called her Stacy and told her to get out..

4. A PSA..early 80s..was a series of PSA's actually..one I remember was about male nurses..and female doctors..and how gender did not matter, but "It's being really good at what you do that counts"..was filmed obviously in a hospital..

I have more but I will list those later..

Have you ever seen a Rainier Beer commercial in the early 80s, they were quite obscure to say the least!

No, I don't remember that beer commercial..but it does make me think about another commercial..Does anyone remember barrelhead rootbeer? I remember the ads from the early 80s..even my mother says she can't remember them!

Oh how I remember those!

One of them sticks out in my mind all these years later.

It was a take-off of an older Yamaha commercial.   The camera was looking down a long desolate roadway, and you hear the sound of a motorcycle engine in the background.  As the bike gets closer, you realize that the sound of the engine is actually the sound of somebody saying "Yaaaaaaa - Maaaaaaaaa - Haaaaaaaaaaa", with a doppler type effect as it passes you and fades off into the distance.

In the Rainer commercial, it was set on a mountain road, with Mt. Rainer in the background.  As the bike comes towards the camera and passes it, you hear the engine saying "Rayyyyyyyy - Neeeerrrrrrrrr - Beeeeerrrrrrrrrr".

There were several others similar, each one a parody of another commercial at the time.  But that is the only one that still stands out in my mind.

And if you know beers of the North-West USA, then you probably also remember the commercials for Oly, with the "Artesians".   8)

Of course, there was also Lone Star, with the "Giant Armadiller".  It would tear up a local bar (store, beer truck, home refrigerator), and steal all of the Lone Star Beer.

  *Me to myself: Should start a thread on the 70's board about this...*

  I can view a commercial I haven't seen in 20+ years and still finish the lines and music from the jingles, in my head, before the commercial is finished...

  A DVD I own (sniped off of eBay) is full of these Tickle ads.  I thought they were primarily 70's as many of the ads from then featured a "

::)

I think the dad was quite upset and went to his rumpass room,
smoked his kid's pot, then played kaboom on his atari until 3:00 am.



  LMAO! ;D go ;)...

I can't think of any obscure commercials with jingles other than the one I can't find online for Super Golden Crisp. The bear would sing, "Can't get enough of Super Golden Crisp/Its got the crunch with punch. Yeah!"

I miss jingles. Modern commercials are so complex I can't ever remember what they were selling even though I may remember the ad. How is this helping the company selling the product?

Oh man. You would have to remind me about those stupid Lone Star beer commericals.  ::)  I had forgotten them-thankfully, until NOW!!!

Does anyone know the commercial that was set to the song "oops there goes another rubber tree plant"? Obviously, something was substituted for "another rubber tree plant".

Don't forget the Levi's commercials, with the guy swinging around and singing "Lee-hee-hee-he-he-he-vi-hi-e-hi's, Lee-hee-he-he-he-he-vi's!"

Sometimes, he'd fall into the Levi's logo, and get stuck!

That was a series that started in the 1970's that I remember well.  The music used was "Mule Skinner Blues".  Probably my favorite of them was where the guy was going forwards, and everyhting around him was backwards.
