DR PEPPER 1972

[arkady714]

OMG, it's The Rockettes during the off season!

[JamboStudios]

drinking some right now.

[av8tor17b]

Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too? (10-2-4!)

[mrsyoggiebear]

That sweet, bubbly, unique aroma that flows out when you crack open a can of Diet Dr. Pepper, cold from refrigeration and ice, followed by that first delicious sip is what makes this my favorite drink. mmm ;)

[voltaman33]

I love Dr. Pepper and this commercial.

[JoeAcid69]

I can sing also about Dr. Pepper at 10, 2 and 4 ;-) Yeah!!!

[juliet8]

I thought they would drink the dr. pepper in the commercial, but since they were shaking the bottle as they danced, I would wait too.

[rosesandcream]

Is that a young Rita Rudner at 0:25 and 0:38? I know she started her career as a dancer, and she appeared in commercials before she became a stand-up comic (including a rather sexist yogurt commercial that, sadly, I cannot find on YouTube). Also, the dates add up (Rudner would have been in her early 20s when this commercial was shot), and it looks a hell of a lot like her! Can anyone confirm this?

[monos70]

@rosesandcream hmm, she could be. I thought it was Jennifer Grey as she says she came out as a dancer in a 70's Dr. Pepper commercial, the problem is she came out in '79 and this is '72.

[spy4863]

Yeah, I've listened to my mouth aboutthe taste of Dr. Pepper, and my mouth has this to say about it-BLEEECCCHHH!!!

[Xforeverlove21]

does it have allot of calories? YES!

[britfrenir]

That is the way I remember Dr Pepper was labled in those days, but I do not remember the commercial though. Me TV and Me Too in Chicago has one of the first Dr. Pepper comerials I saw though.

[oneblackhorse]

Oh, the days before rampant computer enhanced commercials.

[TheDreamMechanic]

Hi mom...yeah...doing good!....Yes I'm sure...Yes I made the right decision....Oh? Work?...well I did this commercial....What was it about?...well, I basically sang about Dr. Pepper all day....oh, what was the song?..."I Could Sing About Dr. Pepper All Day"...yeah, I know I already said that....that's what the song was....MOM...we go through this every time I call home....I'm NOT marrying Jimmy!.....One hundred bucks to come home?.....See you tomorrow!

[single4themoment]

AAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......­.........the Golden Age of Porn. This commercial was shot at a time when these women were deepthroating massive juicy penises. They were racing over to attend the nastiest, filthiest, erotic orgies in human history. AAaahhhhh.... the golden years. These women didn't have to worry about AIDS at that time. They just did what they wanted without any worries. It was an Anything Goes Festival. They gave blowjobs all night long. They got screwed to anybody anytime...etc

[alwaysopen]

@single4themoment

You like gay porn, right?

[mrgkyle]

Not to be a smart ass, but this commercial is from after 1972......How do I know?

Dr Pepper didn't make those type of ringed bottles till 1974.

[avidrocker]

@mrgkyle Id have to agree, it looks a little bit too "slick" for '72. The hairstyles and clothes suggest very early disco era, about 1975. And the DP logo on the bottle more mid 70's As a child of the 70's, I tend to recognize the "look and feel" of certain eras.

[okumahowa]

@mrgkyle

I would tend to agree. Although what flags it for me are the High waisted bellbottom pants that were popular 73' - 79'

Low waisted bellbottom pants, better known as "Hip Huggers" were popular 68' - 72'

[nealadamsdotcum]

it's a dildo

[Vercetti777]

Dr.Pepper,refreshing! Yes!Only for a while

[scottbaino]

I'm surprised this ad aired during Women's Lib!

[Xeidasx]

what a catchy song

[DrPepper1885Phd]

they better not open those bottles right away or they are going to make a delicious mess!

[laurelfan1]

yeah! They shook them up pretty good!! LOL

[ButteWhat]

Miss the old glass bottles

[Justanothercritic1]

Dr.Pepper = My liquid cocaine

[jaytf123]

The narrator of this has been doing voice over commercials for years. He does a current one for Boars Head meats I believe.

[UtopianSeeker]

I am not sure but It sounds like the actor Arnold Stang who passed away recently.

[dadoctah]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it's Milt Moss. Something about the voice reminds me of the narration in the movie "Gizmo!"

[Manongjojo]

This reminds me of the Lawrence Welk TV show. LOL

[BigJarrhead777]

nah it didnt start out as a medicine, the guy who made it was trying to get this girl. the girls dads name was Mr pepper and he was a doctor. so the guy named the soda after him to try to get the girl. i mean thats just what i heard

[sclm046]

During the Cold War years, either late 70's or early 80's there was a very amusing Dr Pepper commercial. Apparently set at a diplomatic function. The staff, serving beverages and hors d'oeuvres was greatly distressed by the Soviet Ambassador's wife who could not be pleased no matter what the courteous staff offered. Finally, with a heavy accent, the wife exclaimed "Dr Peeper!". Immediately a Dr. Pepper was offered and suddenly the world was a happier place.

[irishman295]

do they say "TEA YES!" because i dont thithink its tea... did u know the origanal docter peper was sold as a medicen by a Dr.Peper then so many people liked the drink he turned it into a soda! the things u learn each day ;)

[autumnenergy]

I thought it was cola. It's delicious regardless. But it is not a tea.

[HoldOnToYourDream]

This is an outstanding classic commercial from 1972 and even though it was obviously first aired before I was born, I absolutely love it!!! Those girls are all extremely beautiful and modern for the seventies and their dance moves are incredibly awesome!!!

~Mr. Make Believe

[groverd]

Thanks, Mr. Make Believe....you made my day!

[okumahowa]

@HoldOnToYourDream

I was in high school at the time, and these commercials just give you a taste of how cool the 70s were, it was a fun time to be young and by the way the girls in this commercial dress and dance just like they did then. The high waist pants were especially popular then. They really show off the curves!!!

[dotcomguy79]

cute!

[penguinsrock1223]

those girls are HOT for the 1970s!

[okumahowa]

@penguinsrock1223

How do you think girls of today look hot!!... Answer= Their 70s Mamas Were Hot!!!

[scorzeny45]

joy behar and all those jerks would be protesting this.

[harveysuperboy]

So right..

[jaworskij]

Not a cola...Oh no. You're just seeing things.

And chemtrails don't exist either. LOL.

[scottbaino]

Funny this was on as women's lib dawned...

[bboyshred]

listen to your mouth

[Poprokks]

Nooo! They're shaking them up! Stop them!!

[USFella]

Just imagine...all of these women are grandmothers now.

[bcs65]

Well, at least they looked hot in the commercial.

[cornycorn5]

imagine if they opened the bottles after all tht shaking, if they went to drink it but the soda jus xploded all over them xD

[ukendcx2000]

dr. pepper was always weird. i mean wtf are you drinking anyway?  they reached a low point taking on that chocolate rain guy though, is that flavor even still out there?

[chrischenard]

I think people would be less apt to fast-forward through commercials if they were still like this.

[groverd]

Now that's what I call a great compliment.  Whoever you are...thank you!

Grover

[smokes2468]

Great commercial. Fun stuff.

[bunners11]

Remember when commercials were this long? And how light-hearted the 70's were!

[groverd]

The budget of this commercial called for producers to get extremely creative. A tiny soundstage forced the choreography into stand-still-and-dance mode.
