    2. We've all seen The Encyclopaedia Britannica Commercial with Donovan Freburg. “Remember me? I'm the guy that had a report due on space” was how the commercial started. There was a sequel to that which came out sometime in 1993 where there's a girl in the background talking about Britannica.


    I vaguley remember that 2nd commercial. was it his sister, or something?

      I'd like to see
      1. I think it was Quick Chocolate Milk commercials featuring Messy Marvin. He looked like the kid from A Christmas Story

      2. The Apple 1984 commercial

      3. Early Star Wars action figure commercials

      Of course I will check the videos on this site. Those were some of the ones I've always liked.

              1980's Barbie Commercials

              Get Along Gang toy commercials

                    There are many commercials I would love to see again from the LA area and among them is the old 1970s ad for the Norton Simon Museum with Candice Bergen, a 1985 ad for Disneyland regarding the Main Street Electrical Parade, a 1984 Circus Vargas ad with the jingle, "The Big One Is Back", some pre 1980s ads for Carpeteria, a disco-fied Toys r Us ad with Geoffery, and many others to mention. I have many classic tv commercials on VHS and DVD that go as early as the 50s. They are classics ranging from national ads to local ads (Los Angeles area) including Cal Worthington, Dial Chevrolet, Zodys, Koby's Shoes and others.

                        I want to see the Apex Tech ads again. They always used to show them on WWOR during The Monkees, along with ads for DeVry Institutes and those Sally Struthers "Do you wanna make more money?" ads. Apex Tech featured its founder, a middle-aged balding man in a jumpsuit, saying that, at Apex Tech, "you start with an empty toolbox." Every ad ended with him saying, "Now, I can't call you! Pick up the phone, and call us now!"

                            Wow, I didnt think anyone remembered that one. Been there, its nice...had a great bar. If the bartender didn't know how to make a drink, you got it for free.

                              there was a thread about this commercial......http://www.retrojunk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8596&highlight=beautiful++airy+lodge


                              sounds good to me...usually when ask for my favorite drink at a bar, the bar tender ussually doesn't even know what it is let alone how to make it

                                Im surprised they didnt drag the old anti-smoking star wars PSA ("r2d2, you're on fire!";) back into circulation back when the prequels came out.

                                  1. Remember the Twix Commercial with the 16 year old boy who just got his license and he's driving through the desert and is trying to find a place to stop? It had Devo's “Whip It” in the background.

                                  2. Remember the Frankenstein and little girl Twix Commercial from 1997?

                                  If anybody has either those commercials on tape, it would mean a lot to me if somebody could post one of them or both.

                                        I have a ton of old commercials, most from the early nineties. I know I have Hostess chips, the "whats the diff?" coke/pepsi one, Jolly Ranchers, Alfa Bits cereal, Hypercolor shirts, a few PSA's , many more than that. I am in the process of going through about 200 hours of video tape and separating everything. It will all go onto my youtube eventually, I don't think I will be putting anything up here, I'm much too lazy to go through all the commercials on RJ to see what they already have.
