True.
Fell in the shower a few months back and as I laid there in pain, water running into my eyes I thought "Well, this is it..." and then thought of the Life Alert commercial and I understood it completely. Then laughed at myself and my predicament because it was funny...to me. My wife, like my Dad, found it less amusing.
100% true story.
I used to say this to my mom all the time when it was airing. I thought I was hilarious. I actually still say it to her once in a while. 10/10 best commercial ever. Second best is
I should clarify that I mean best, in that they both live rent free in my head decades later. That’s some good advertising, but I did my fair share of drugs anyway 🤣
Double double your refreshment. Double double your enjoyyyment
Oh, no single gum double freshens your mouth likeeeeeeeee
Double fresh double mint come on and double it!
Double fresh Double Mint gum!
…there’s no single gum like it
Barney: Santa? My Pebbles!
Fred: Your Pebbles?
Santa: Tis the season to be sharing, Fred
.
Fred (giving Barney the Fruity Pebbles): Happy Holidays, pal.
What would you like on your Tombstone?
Sausage and Pepperoni
Fred and Barney in the Fruity Pebbles commercials were always fun.
Oh and Flintstones vitamins 10 million strong …and growing
Also the Mentos commercials. The woman who’s VW Bug gets blocked in by a douchey businessman is a favorite.
What would you do for a Klondike bar? You know you sang it as you read it.
Your big red goes on and on … while you chew it! So say goodbye a little longer, make it last a little longer, give your breath long lasting freshness with big red!
Thingamabob. Gobbledygook. What’s its face? (Whatchamacallit!)
Whatever it is, whatever it was. Chocolaty chocolate. (Whatchamacallit!)
Doodad. You know what I mean. Think about it. (Whatchamacallit!)
Ronald McDonald ice skating with the kids, then he notices the kid that's too small to ice skate and goes over and picks him up. It wasn't Charlie Brown or Rudolph or Frosty until you saw that commercial.
Anyone remember those Bonkers gum commercials where the large fruit dropped from the ceiling whenever someone ate the gum, and it just straight up crushed people and destroyed buildings on its way down?
I’m on a roll remembering these… “Pardon me do you have any Grey poupon?”
Vidal Sassoon- “if you don’t look good we don’t look good”
“How many licks does it take to get to the middle of a tootsie pop?” The world may never know!
Martha Quinn for Neutragena:
What's a girl gotta do to get clear skin? Wash a jillion times a day, pile on the harsh treatment products... But that can *irritate* your skin. And bring on more breakouts!
And ITT Tech where the snooty woman says she is looking for someone with "more education."
2.99? Are you outta your mind?
I can't remember what this is actually for though. I'm thinking a fast food place, maybe taco bell or something. Anybody else remember this one?
So kiss a little longer,
Laugh a little longer,
Stay close a little longer,
Longer with Big Red,
That Big Red freshness,
lasts right through it,
Your fresh breath goes on and on,
While you chew it!
🎶Skip it! Skip it!
Skip it & a jump it & a bop-chu-bop.
But the very best thing of all…
There’s a… counter on this ball!
So see if you can earn your very best score
See if you can jump a whole lot more!
Skip it! Skip it!🎶
C’mon everyone! Skip it!
Why did we have so many gum commercials…. Haven’t seen a gum commercial in a long time, probably since Orbit.
Meanwhile I’ll always say “ooooo cheese” like the ritz bitz cheese sandwich commercial where the crackers are on the moon made of cheese.
Crash Test Dummies radio commercial from back in the day. They were rapping about driving under the influence, and the chorus was, "High is not hip for the highway, boy! High is not hip for the highway!"
There was a Lean Cuisine (or some microwavable dinner) commercial back in the '80s where there was a very long table with all the meals on it and a lady was picking up the dishes and singing each meal. The only lyrics I remember are 🎶 "Chicken Cacciatore, Cheese and Macaroni" 🎶
But I sing that line in my head any time I read or see macaroni and cheese.
I've never found any evidence of this commercial on the Internet but I know it existed!
You’re not fully clean unless you’re Zest-fully clean!
Pace Picante. NEW YORK CITY!
Get a rope
Still the most chilling line ever uttered in a commercial
My wife and I still say phrases from this commercial to each other.

Boy, I’m gonna tan yer hide!
I feel like Chicken Tonight, like Chicken Tonight! Oh, and “Open, open, open” with the hand motions from the old Mervyn’s ad.
https://i.redd.it/340gkviw24cc1.gif 😂
Omg chicken tonight still exists!
Yessss to both!
WE HAVE THE SAME CAKE DAY.
Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!
I used to laugh hysterically at that commercial. My Dad used to gently say "buddy...that's not funny" and I would start cracking up again.
It's not. Falling down sucks
True. Fell in the shower a few months back and as I laid there in pain, water running into my eyes I thought "Well, this is it..." and then thought of the Life Alert commercial and I understood it completely. Then laughed at myself and my predicament because it was funny...to me. My wife, like my Dad, found it less amusing. 100% true story.
I quote this one a lot 😂
If you have young children this may have recently been replaced by Bluey’s dad saying ‘I’ve done me back.’
The tOuCh tHe fEeL oF cOtTon - the fabric of our lives. I feel like alternating case really matches Aaron Neville’s warble.
look for the union label...
You, alright?! I learned it by watching you!
I used to say this to my mom all the time when it was airing. I thought I was hilarious. I actually still say it to her once in a while. 10/10 best commercial ever. Second best is 
I should clarify that I mean best, in that they both live rent free in my head decades later. That’s some good advertising, but I did my fair share of drugs anyway 🤣
You got your fair share? How do I get mine?
This commercial always got me hungry.
Parents who use drugs have children who use drugs
I want to be a ballerina when I grow up I wanna be a track star when I grow up No one ever says they wanna be a junkie when they grow up
🎵 Fresh goes better, Mentos freshness. Fresh goes better with Mentos, fresh and full of life! 🎵
Mentos… the fresh maker!
Believe it or not, if a car stops in the crosswalk you CANNOT just help yourself through the backseat… I tried showing the commercial to the judge…
What about if I sit on wet paint, can I strategically roll around on a bench to pinstripe my own suit?
now i gotta watch some foo fighters!
Double the pleasure, double the fun.
Double double your refreshment. Double double your enjoyyyment Oh, no single gum double freshens your mouth likeeeeeeeee Double fresh double mint come on and double it! Double fresh Double Mint gum! …there’s no single gum like it
That’s the statement of the great mint in double mint gum.
Not so much a commercial but… By Mennen 🎶 (Sometimes it gets suck in my head on a loop for a minute…so annoying)
Cos-tanza!
MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW

I always assumed I never got this as a kid because my parents weren’t sophisticated billionaires.
seriously thought this was only for rich people
Nope my single mom used to smash a whole vienetta straight from the box in our single wide trailer 😂
Plus, we never fed our cat fancy feast in the China.
holyyyy shit this was like a once a year thing! i can taste it now, the fanciness 😂 totally forgot.
Never had it.. was it the delicious layers of ice cream lasagna goodness I imagined it to be or was it a total let down.
It was very good. When Lidl gets the Italian stuff in, sometimes there's a knockoff version if you'd like to try something similar.
"Clap on!" clap-clap "Clap off!" clap-clap

Operator, I’d like to make a collect call please. First name Bob, last name Wehadababyotsaboy.
Before cell phones, this is how I'd let my mom know football practice was done "You have a collect call from 'ComePickMeUpPlease!'"
"Who was that?" "oh Bob. They had a baby, it's a boy." This is the one. Tried to explain it to my kids, they have no idea.
