70's Commercials Vol. 3

[traceymallard]

i was surprised to see richard kline in a commercial! i only remembered him from three's company! and i used to love grape nuts! i had it in summer camp in the sanbernadino mts in 1976! this really brings back great memories.

[MsMercury]

Too bad you don't have the Tickle commerical. That was the first deodorant I ever used. I remember that Dr. Pepper commercial very clearly!

[Baltimoreman78]

What do you call that 70's Rainbow Flip-Logo Style

[7jpt]

Look how young Regis Philbin looked!

[nahpoli]

ALPHA BETA......Thats the moron that ruined Suzanne Somers career on "Threes Company" Yes that was/is her husband!!

[traceymallard]

i remember the store Alpha Beta! i totally forgot about them until i saw this video! wow this really brings back memories! im loving it.

[DanZero77]

No Tickle ad! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

That TV Guide music was used extensively in their ads through the mid 80s.

Enough DRAMA on that Secret ad?

Force Ten reminds me of the Rush song!

I would be more upset over the fact the guy want's more of that other woman's "coffee"! (as you said in your description) So Yuban saves relationships now?

[plasticvideo]

#10 is John Travoltas mom. I'm serious.

[80sCommercialVault]

@plasticvideo No. If anything, it's his sister Ellen. His mother died of cancer in 1978 at the age of 66.

[plasticvideo]

@80sCommercialVault holy cow, you're right! That's quite a spread between siblings you have to admit.

[ChristopherJacques]

@plasticvideo It's his older sister Ellen. A lot of people think she's his mom!

[starskylvr]

Isn't that the same actress on the coffee commercial that said the same line on Airplane? They look like the same actress.

[80sCommercialVault]

@starskylvr Airplane was specifically referencing this ad campaign. Yuban used it throughout the 70's and utilized dozens of actresses for the commercials.

BTW, the actress in Airplane is Lee Bryant and looks *nothing* like the woman in the ad here.

[ilovebobgunton]

@starskylvr Now I know where the actress in the movie got that.

[springloadedchicken]

yeh, those pepper's are an interesting breed alright.....

[wmbrown6]

I also see KLOS, in those days, used the same background music for the ads as their New York sister station, WPLJ 95.5, did.

[wmbrown6]

And besides the "spacey" music in the TV Guide ad, the mellifluous voice of the late Taylor Grant.

[tomservo56954]

The man in the Alpha Beta ad is Alan Hamel...Suzanne Somers' husband.

[Dablkwid0w2008]

Tickle anti persprant I can't believe they went there lol. I never liked watching Dick Rockin Eve or Time Square because I would jealous that I wasn't there

[blugreen123]

I wonder if many people actually followed thru w/ that deal @ Von's

what! no "Tickle" commercial? i feel cheated!

I think "Secret" guy is a crossdresser just waiting to happen

[drmagic]

i love the old school commercials. today's ads are all about sex or cheap laughs.

[zachhoran]

David Naughton, who had the 1979 pop hit Makin It, theme to a short lived TV show. He later co-starred on My SIster Sam and played Pyramid as a celeb a few times in the 80s.

[80sCommercialVault]

@zachhoran He also played the lead in "An American Werewolf in London", which is what I know him from.

[depreciousMODE]

Tickle helps stop wetness ;-)

[drmagic]

@depreciousMODE my mind went into the gutter with that too!

[JestAGoof]

I remember going to my local Alpha Beta until Lucky came in and bought the location up. =(

[allluckyseven]

Oh, wow... The actor in the Dr. Pepper ad is the guy from American Werewolf in London!

[WebVMan]

Whoa! Regis even looked old back then!

[80sCommercialVault]

@WebVMan He was 47 at the time and IMO looks WAY younger than that.

[Asiablue]

The Alpha Beta commercial has ex-TV host Alan Hamel. He is married to Suzanne Somers.

[violetzebras]

Never heard of Victoria Station before so I Googled it. A railroad themed prime rib restaurant. A fairly popular place in the 70's but was bankrupt by the mid 80's.

[agltbialik]

I love this new 70's set of commercials. Keep em coming!

[madgang201]

Don't we all miss those days when every ad on television was a musical? I know I do.

[JLin576]

Ernie Anderson, the voice of ABC, brings back memories!

[Jeff98177]

Isn't that Ellen Travolta in the Vons commercial?

[setamluos1]

I'm a pepper.

[MsFarzee]

I have never seen a Grandma's product ad in my life...I didn't know they had TV commercials

[Gilbs2211]

Aw snap, I was 2!!! 

[mefault]

I love how Richard Kline's name in the Secret ad is Jack. The irony...LOL.

[mar88ia]

@mefault lmao I was just going to post the exact same thing!!

[ChadzBeerReviews]

grape nuts = no grapes, no nuts WTF

[blugreen123]

@ChadzBeerReviews

i've often wondered that myself. it's an eternal mystery

[IceManLikeGervin]

Grape Nuts!!!lol

[Donpatch88]

i love the dr pepper add around the 1 minute mark :D

[Chevyman3500HD]

i like the music on the "New Years Rockin' Eve" Commercial Bumpers

[BallisticLife]

Sooooo, now I get this. In the movie Airplane, a man and his wife order food, and the wife says "(man) never has seconds of coffee". That was a joke on the Yuban ads. I GET IT NOW! Airplane was made in 1980, I always thought it was just a joke, not a REFERENCE!

[tomservo56954]

@BallisticLife

"Jim never vomits like that at home"

[defenderoFreedom]

@BallisticLife

about your commec: I thought that sounded famililar: "He NEVER orders seconds on coffee" from Airplane joke. :)
