Thread Name: BS: ...after this commercial break
Subject: RE: BS: ...after this commercial break
Jack (who is called Jack), you're almost right, but the last line of the Good-n-Plenty jingle goes: "Don't know any other candy that I love so well."

lamarca, don't forget the end of that Rice Krispies opera, where an older woman comes swooping into the room with a box of Rice Krispies under her arm and sings "I brought you Rice Krispies..."
Man (in an aside to audience): "My mother-in-law."
Woman: "...Enough to last at least two months (?); that's how long I'll be here."
Man (crying while singing): "It's her fifteenth (?) visit so far this year."

Also, lamarca, I believe that the Pizza Rolls commercial was created by Stan Freberg (of "Dragon-net" fame).


More memories:

"My dog's better than your dog, my dog's better than yours.
My dog's better 'cause he eats Ken-L-Ration! My dog's better than yours!"

Barry Manilow's jingle for McDonald's: "You deserve a break today, so get up and get away to McDonald's!"

Girl: "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener, that is what I'd truly like to be-ee-ee,
'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener, ev'ryone would be in love with me."
Boy: "Oh, I'm glad I'm NOT an Oscar Mayer wiener, that is what I'd NEVER want to be-ee-ee,
'Cause if I were an Oscar Mayer wiener, there would soon be nothing left... of..... me....... [withering under the glare from the girl] ...Ohhhh I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener..."

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."

"Mama mía, that's a spicy meatball!", a line flubbed over and over by an actor in a commercial-within-the-commercial as he ate a mouthful of spaghetti for each take, until he was feeling too ill to say the line at all ("Meesy-micey-ballsee"). He took the advertised remedy (Pepto-Bismol?) and then read the line perfectly...whereupon a part of the set fell apart, and the director off-camera said, "Cut. Let's break for lunch." (Then the man looked ill all over again.)

Radio commercial for the Plymouth Barracuda: Man keeps saying "Baccaruda" and is corrected by the "announcer" until he finally gets it right and says triumphantly, "Get a Barracuda! At your Dimmuth Pleeler!!!"[Plymouth dealer]

There's a new TV jingle that makes me cringe every time: It's for Old El Paso (maker of taco sauce and taco-making kits), sung to the tune of "El Paso" and pretty poorly written. Whenever I see the widely-smiling cowboy come into the pouting family's house with the product, I wish somebody WOULD shoot him.


Here's a 1940's (?) soap jingle my mother used to sing to me (anyone remember the rest of it, or what soap product it advertised?):
"Nobody loves me 'cause I've got B.O.
Ev'ryone avoids me wherever I go..."
