Favorite Childhood TV Commercials

[TheGoofster]

OK, flashback time. What are some of the most memorable TV ads that you can remember as a child. they can be with or without a famous Jingle.
Some of my remembrances are:

MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW, MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW
Tidybowl Man
Purina Cat Chow, CHOW, Chow, CHow
Rollem out Chuckwagon
PLEASE Don't Squeeze the Charmin
Hey, let's get mikey, he won't eat it, he hates everything - HE LIKES IT!
I'd Like to teach the World to Sing....
2 All beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun, All 15 words never get heard...
HEY COOLAIDE!!
Sorry Charlie!
HONEY COMB BIG, YEAH, Yeah, Yeah.
How would you like a Hawaiin punch? Sure - BAM
We're going to get a power,power,powerful good,good feeling with Cheer,Cheer,Cheerios.
Ask the next mermaid you happen to see, what's the best Tuna - Chicken of the Sea.
TAB, TAB cola, what a beautiful Drink TAB, TAB, cola for Beautiful People...
Give me a Mountain with nothing to Do...
PLOP, PLOP, FIZZ, FIZZ, Oh what a relief it is.

I can't believe I ate the whole thing

 

[nuke]

The Christmas commercial with Santa sledding in an electric razor.

 

[mtemm]

for some reason I always liked the "you can't fool mother nature" one.

 

[grinningghost]

The Christmas commercial with Santa sledding in an electric razor.

Exactly the one I was going to say.

 

[LOVETHATMOUSE]

Where's The Beef!

 

[Tammi67]

A slinky, a slinky, for fun it's a wonderful toy.

I just always loved this song:

Hey mister, whatcha chewing?
Chew the chew the pros are choosing,
Red Man-the pick of the proooooos.

I liked the Coke "I'd like to teach the world to sing" too. I just like singing along with commercials. Nobody has jingles now.

 

[rkrivas]

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pop?

One, twohooo, three, crunch!

 

[LBAK]

Chew Chew Charlie was an engineer..... I love Good n Plenty candy.

 

[TurboKitty]

I liked the one with the little girl running from a bookmobile, then her mom talks the lady running it about Ex-Lax. Mostly because my sister was in it, she was the little girl! I got to pick on her so much for that! I also kind of like the Colgate one with Dinah Shore at a mini golf place with a bunch of kids..."Watch out for his TEETH!" because I was in that one...

 

[KTSMOM]

I like the one where the guy goes to pick up his laundry and he asks how do you get the whites so white...and the employee says "Ancient Chinese Secret" and then the employee's wife says "We need more Calgon" and then guy says "Ancient Chinese Secret huh?" I don't know why I get such a kick out of that.

 

[GoldenAfternoon]

I loved the one for Murphy's Oil where the ladies are cleaning a church.

Noel-co!
Remember the jingling bells??

Frito Bandidto!

IyEEEE IyEEEE
IyEEEE IyEEEE
I am the Frito Bandito
I Love Fritos Corn chips
I Love them I do
I Love Fritos Corn chips
I Steal Them from you !


I had one of these original metal bad boys!!

Who walks the stairs without a care
It shoots so high in the sky.
Bounce up and down just like a clown.
Everyone knows it's Slinky.

The best present yet to give or get
The kids will all want to try.
The hit of the day when you are ready to play
Everyone knows it's Slinky.

It's Slinky, It's Slinky
for fun the best of the toys
It's Slinky, It's Slinky
the favorite of girls and boys.

I loved lots of the ones already mentioned, but also the Ken-L Ration one

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

and the Juicy Fruit one

Just pick a pack
of Juicy Fruit gum
Chew it and let all the flavor come through
Just pick a pack
of Juciy fruit gum
and let it all happen to you

I also liked the Aqua Velva aftershave one
There's something about an Aqua Velva man

Oh, just thought of a few more:

The World looks mighty good to me, because Tootsy Rolls are all I see, whatever it is I think I see, becomes a Tootsy Roll to me.

You can roll a rollo to you pall, it's chocolate covered caramel, you can roll a rollo to your friend, it's chewy chocolate caremel from end to end.

Charleston chew is chewy ooey, but not to chewy, right luiey.

Hey, you got your chocolate in my peanut butter. Hey, you got your peanut butter in my chocolate.

Put a tic-tac in your mouth and get a BANG out of life.

Then there was that one about the guy about to be executed by a firing squad, and they ask if he has any last requests, and he mentions some certain candy (I can't remember what it was), it takes him so long to eat it that all the soldiers fall asleep, and he slips away.

Sometimes you feel like a nut....
Sometimes you dont
Almond Joys have nuts
Mounds don't
Because.......
Sometimes you feel like a nut..
Sometimes you don't!!

I make my family crazy because I sing the old commercials to my DGD. I forgot these two, but I am adding them to my "repertoire". I can't wait!
Thanks to the OP for this thread, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the old commercial theme songs.
