Ken Noid, I'd like to introduce you to David Hamburglar.Well, it happened. Whether corporate wanted to admit that had something to do with cutting the character is another issue. But Ken Noid didn't help.
Stanley Grimace never stood a chanceKen Noid, I'd like to introduce you to David Hamburglar.
There was a commercial jingle that incorpated all the town's the store was located... Included Cupertino. Ring any bells?Bay Area folks will remember Paul from the Diamond Center.
Definitely remember Yuck Mouth on Saturday mornings.These PSA commercials were from the '70s, so probably only fellow geezers may remember them:
Oh what a dum-dum
Yuck mouth
The even released a commemorative coin. It was a washer.No, this isn't about Fred Dwyer. That joke came about after R. Budd Dwyer committed suicide on live t.v. in 1987.
The thread title did say 'obscure'.![]()
Was going to post this. Staying up every Friday night until 11:30 to watch videos, before we had MTV.
On El Camino Real?There was a commercial jingle that incorpated all the town's the store was located... Included Cupertino. Ring any bells?
Eta... I don't think this was a diamond center ad...
Something, something, something, something, San lorenzo, Cupertino and San Jose.Short Corner said:On El Camino Real?
Only thing I can think of is the Shane Company that always ended its commercials with "Cupertino, San Mateo, and Walnut Creek." But this is more recent, and its not a jingle, just a dorky sounding guy.Something, something, something, something, San lorenzo, Cupertino and San Jose.
A bunch of different town's in the jungle...so even though there's a chance they're all on El Camino real, not likely.
Mad Balls!Every once in a while I'll have a random thought about something that was en vogue during my childhood (80s and 90s).
Here are a couple of examples: Pogo Balls Mad Balls,and Crossbows and Catapults.
What obscure stuff can you come up with that we probably haven't thought about in years?
Similarly with Fred Rated - the Federated Group/Superstores ad campaign with Shadoe Stevens.I think this was just a west coast thing, but there was a car dealer by the name of Cal Worthington. he always had these nutty commercials where he was introduced as "here's Cal and his dog Spot!" but Spot was never a dog, he was always some other animal, like a tiger or an elephant. pretty good shtick.
and his commercial always ended with them saying "go see Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal!" really fast, and all the kids on the playground were convinced they were saying "##### cow, ##### cow, ##### cow!"
denevi camera... this one must be from earlier, before they expanded to more of the "somethings".Only thing I can think of is the Shane Company that always ended its commercials with "Cupertino, San Mateo, and Walnut Creek." But this is more recent, and its not a jingle, just a dorky sounding guy.
I often speak in 80s movie quotes and snippets, usually met with blank stares:
Greetings, Professor Falken.
That's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that.
Chriiiiissssttmaaaasssss!
This is my weak arm!
Doctor, Doctor. Doctor, Doctor. Doctor, Doctor.
I'll have a steak sandwich and....a steak sandwich.
I love my dead gay son!
Good talk, Russ.
I like it when she goes buh buh buh buh
Do I offend?
Why am I the only one who has that dream?
I'm obsessed thank you very much.
Don't be that guy.
Played some Jarts just a few weeks back. Since they are illegal, the guy who brought them had bought them from somewhere in Europe, and the tips were sent in a separate package than the rest. Good times, except for one throw when a dog came tearing across the field toward the target ring while a jart I had thrown was in mid-air. Luckily it landed before the dog got there.Putting your life in your hands playing a drunken game of Jarts.
We trained my 3-4 year old brother to recite this phrase back in the day. Was probably one of first complete sentences.Give me a bottle of anything, and a glazed donut - to go!
