(How ironic considering this thread's subject) this one.

You'll notice how Mr. Moore does not take one; was this the last act of integrity in a commercial?

Fantastic. One of the best. Funny, I was just talking about Robert Loggia today and now I can have a quick access to show who he is exactly!

I like how they felt obligated to say that the stadium was not included.

Post by: courtney on November 23, 2008, 02:03:04 AM: Yeah, but really - some kid saying he'll drink orange juice if Robert Loggia tells him to? That's perfection.

Also, it was in this way, at a young age, I learned the never-since-used word "indubitably"

I REALLY don't get why they used "indubitably" so much. Was that their catchphrase for the cereal or something?
Title: Re: Most memorable television commercials
Post by: courtney on November 23, 2008, 02:18:07 AM: I don't know. I was, like, 9 and I had to go grab a dictionary to decide if I wanted to ask my parents to buy that cereal for me or not! Most kids probably heard the words "low sugar" and tuned out, though.

P.S. It was good. Like King Vitamin - not FILLED with sugar but still tasty.

Post by: Sarah on November 23, 2008, 07:34:27 AM: I have never seen any of these. I think it's because Tor's are too old and the rest were made after I acquired a VCR and began recording virtually everything I watched in order to be able to fast-forward through commercials.

So far, I like the Robert Loggia one the best.

Indubitably, one of the creepiest commercials I've ever seen. Who directed that, Ralph Bakshi?

Post by: KickTheBobo on November 23, 2008, 07:28:39 PM: If you grew up in the 70s - 80s in New England, there's a good chance that both these commercials have been seared into your cerebral cortex. Be prepared to feel old.

Just click Tom's YouTube icon, just below the B (for Bold), and insert the URL.
