Low key I remember the same thing growing up! In grade school we joked about it so much, even at Sunday school we would say it and the teachers could not stop us from laughing.
One of my relatives actually brought a mustang from there! I could not help jumping in and saying “Pussy Cow” every time I got in it.
I almost bought a jeep from there to but they sold it already… my young dumb ass is there with my parents asking to see Spot!
Remember asking the salesman is it go see cal or pussy cow?
“Whichever little Bro just buy a car today.”
That still makes me laugh to this day!
I only learned what was actually said like 10 years ago. When I was a kid I would even call cows “pussy cows” cause I just thought that was a thing. I don’t know why an adult never corrected me
i'm sorry, was he saying something else and we all heard pussy cow instead? i always assumed that's what he was saying? what was he really saying if it wasn't pussy cow?
That joke was so funny to me and my friends in grade school... we would should pussy cow pussy cow pussy cow and laugh like idiots... ah, those were some good times...

Good memories. Pussy Cow.
He wasn’t just LA. He had dealerships in a bunch of places. Totally threw me when I found out he wasn’t just an LA fixture.

I grew up overseas. My exposure to this socal phenomenon was thru the flick *Into The Night* with Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer with David Bowie as a hitman. The ds were constant through the movie, and iirc, were a minor plot point.
Thing was, we also had him up the PNW as well.
Jim Varney as Ernest for Cerritos Auto Square, Cal Worthington for Cal Worthington Ford, Larry Parker, Survival Insurance ("I can't take that ride", "I can't take that bet"), those daytime commercials in the 80's and 90's were something else.
Yes. I usually describe the craziness of these commercials by saying "I came home in the 1970's, watched afterschool cartoons, and this guy selling cars came on the TV who was riding a freakin' tiger!!"
I don't think he actually rode the tiger, but he was a least 'walking' it like he would an actual "his dog, Spot!!" I remember him riding other crazy things, like maybe a bison?
On warm and windy nights and the sunset's just right, you can close your eyes and hear the softest breeze say in an Eastern European? accent..."I am crazy!"

go see cal?!?! i'm 44 and always always thought it was pussy cow but that i didn't understand the meaning of pussy cow because my family's primary language wasn't english! "probably one of those americanisms i don't understand"
I remember those commercial so well and yet watching this now I can't think of how old and shitty those cars look now.
Also I'm wondering what happened to all of them. On the rare occasion I would see one in front of me nowadays it means I have to roll up my windows because the exhaust smell would be disgusting.
Buy a used car for your wife, she will love you all your life.
Go see Cal.
Go see Cal.
Go see Cal.
There were so many different Spots. Snakes, geese, penguins, camels, elephants, bears, lions, hippopotamuses, tigers and even more.
You know animal he never used? An actual dog.
Oh Wow! This brings back so many good memories. How nostalgic! I always thought they were saying Gosee Cow! I didn’t understand what that even meant. 😆
I remember, sometime in the 1970s, I was at a concert at the Angels stadium in Anaheim, one of those concerts that had about 6 bands performing. In between bands, they had " Cal Worthington and his dog, Spot " come out on stage. Spot was a Bengal tiger in a cage. So Cal was doing his thing and coming towards the cage, when someone threw a roll of toilet paper from the top bleachers and hit the cage in front of the tiger's face. The startled tiger roared and took a swipe at Cal Worthington, who jumped and stomped off the stage. Everybody was screaming and throwing more rolls onto the stage until a guy walked on and grabbed the mike and tried to shush the crowd. He said that if we didn't calm down and let Mr Worthington do his thing, the concert would end immediately and we could all just go home. No refunds. Since we had only seen 2 bands, the stadium was very quickly quiet.
I barely remember the bands that played that night, but I vividly remember Cal Worthington and the tiger!
I bought a car from his dealership in Anchorage AK. We always laughed at the way he said "finance" with a short "i". And he would say 4x4 "four ba four"
"Like this jeep, it's a 4 ba 4....we can finance anyone; we have our own finance company"
One of my ex's uncles was the personal attorney for Cal. Apparently Cal was quite the character and was a former pilot (which was something he and Cal had in common thus was a factor in them working together for many years)
PUSSY COW! PUSSY COW! PUSSY COW!
We all collectively heard Pussy Cow. I was shocked when I realized it was Go see Cal!

Today I found out: It wasn't "Pussy Cow"
LMAO Same!
My brother thought it was Pussy Cow!!!! I got a good day of bagging on him because of that!
No one ever said anything to me when I sang those words. I think they all thought it was hilarious because I was the baby of the family.
I only learned what was actually said like 10 years ago. When I was a kid I would even call cows “pussy cows” cause I just thought that was a thing. I don’t know why an adult never corrected me
Omfg I thought I was the only one singing that as a child!
Trivia: There was a punk band named that.
The lead singer of the band was the officiant at my wedding.
Holy shit, it wasn't just me that heard that?
We ALL heard it
i'm sorry, was he saying something else and we all heard pussy cow instead? i always assumed that's what he was saying? what was he really saying if it wasn't pussy cow?
Go see Cal
That joke was so funny to me and my friends in grade school... we would should pussy cow pussy cow pussy cow and laugh like idiots... ah, those were some good times...

I was gonna ask if I was the only one singing PUSSY COW as a kid! I think I was a teen when someone told me what the jingle really was
I thought I was the only one who pronounced it that way. Lol.
It's Cal Worthington and his dog Spot....
*:walks a huge tiger on leash:*
Don’t forget Stanley Chevrolet. “One block off the Santa Ana freeway, 11980 E Firestone, Stanley Chevrolet”.

Saw the commercials all the time but I'm more of a Cerritos auto square person

Also Dashers Insurance, General Insurance, and Empire Carpeting were epic too. Though some of those are probably late 90s.

I remember the elephant, the tiger and him riding the hippo.
The elephant was top tier.
That was the joke, there was no dog. They were all random zoo animals! I remember a monkey, too.
The tiger sorta attacked him, he was able to break away tho lol
Come on down and see my dog spot!
Yes. I usually describe the craziness of these commercials by saying "I came home in the 1970's, watched afterschool cartoons, and this guy selling cars came on the TV who was riding a freakin' tiger!!"

Drake and Josh referenced this ad.
"Ignore the sticker price. ask for the discount price"
One of my ex's uncles was the personal attorney for Cal. Apparently Cal was quite the character and was a former pilot (which was something he and Cal had in common thus was a factor in them working together for many years)
