Paula Abdul - Diet Coke (Full Version)

[thatsjustscott]

i actually was in 7th grade when this came out, in LOVE with paula, and did a science fair project on it! about green screen technology! got a hold of the production company, they sent me 3 vhs tapes of making ofs, KILLING myself for losing them all these years later!!! but on 1 tape, diet coke exec said the idea was 'just one'- cuz just calorie in diet coke. paula was the #1 star then, who else is there just 1 of- went thru film/musical history, gene, groucho, cary. all just ones! so great. ahh

[THMV1]

@MzTJones80 good comment! have to agree "lets put some effort into those commercials"

[FragglevisionReturns]

The Dead Rise To Advertise!

[MzTJones80]

They don't make commercials like this anymore. Nowadays, you've got, "I'm suffering from erectile dysfunction." OR, "I just insert this inside my uterus and I won't get pregnant!" OR, "I use K Y extra-sensitive and now me and my boyfriend have sex like rabbits!" We never had those kinds of trashy commercials back then. Commercials were actually fun to watch then. I often find myself here looking at old retro stuff.

[easrth]

I love this!

What year circa was this?

[1track4lyfe]

@easrth Definitely 1992, I watched them do the video behind the scenes in april of that year.

[peetey897]

Paula Abdul AND Gene Kelly? I think I'm in heaven!

[rockstarmn1]

wow, she looks hawt as hell

[JamspongeVideo]

Why exactly was Groucho Marx in this? It obviously wasn't his choice (he'd been dead for a good 15 years), so I'm guessing it's something to do with Paula Abdul?

[orapaleng]

dancing with dad people this is awesem

[Airsoftcleaner]

Someone send this to Simon

[1track4lyfe]

This commercial was exactly filmed from April 15- 24th 1992 right before she got married...just for those who wanted to know

[drake94705]

This commercial is from 1992. It aired during Saturday Night Live's Presidential Bash TV special, which I videotaped on November 1, 1992.

[LicoriceLain]

This shows that even if Lady Gaga was shite (initially), she was no where near as trashy as the pop stars of the late 80's, early 90's.

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

I wish Prince did coke adverts in the 80's, since Michael Jackson did Pepsi. It would have been excellent to see which brand was selling the most. It would have been excellent for the rivalry between both artists.

[TheEscapedBalloon]

Her clothing has a 80s or 90s type style, which seems really odd when compared to the other guys.

[PaulaAbdulJr]

@TheEscapedBalloon She was just edited into this video. Gene Kelly(Who was much older at the time. Actually in a wheelchair when this video was being edited together.) was her hero and she was lucky enough to meet him and put him in the video in the late 80s-90s which explains her clothes, but originally, this video was much older which explains THEIR clothes!!

[beantown4776]

Dancing with a dead man...the Uncanny Valley is dark and disturbing place

[Tristin471]

@beantown4776 He was alive when this commercial came out, but was still a digital image.

[PaulaAbdulJr]

@beantown4776 He was in a wheelchair watching this very video be made. :) Its a great story!

[rappigonen]

i love this video its so fresh make you want to dance!!!!!

[stevepaxify]

I think the hypocrisity of some of the SHIT that goes on here! At least it's harmless fun. Rarely anything sneaks past. Re reading be a good time..? My friend be small dizzy. Not done ever. "this was written by someone whom could read and write." but very heavily under the influence absinthe ! Heavens no! Anyone leaving grumbling about me . "bitch whatever"lol

[1EVILZ06]

Just toooo Hawt!

[BettyluvsPA]

she never ages?! ol luv U!!

[elmando5]

I'm 25 years old and I've always liked Paula Abdul as a recording artist. I think she should really get back to music because she's still very talented and back in the 80's and 90's, she was one of the top selling female recording artists along with Madonna, Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston.

[youtubie103]

=:). Why don't you and me do some fancy stuffin tonight. I love that part because his voice is sooooo weird!

[Zeebo89]

paula will always be the queen of dance in my eyes...shes the best!!!

[Delta4845]

I hope when i die i can be in commercials too.

[EatinCactus]

This is the intelligent and beautiful Paula I remember! I love you Paula!!! Stay off the drugs honey!! Pharmaceutical companies pimp doctors to give you anything...to get you addicted! Hence, why their a billion-dollar industry! You don't need that junk!

[BettyluvsPA]

@EatinCactus  shes not on drugs

[EatinCactus]

@BettyluvsPA ...Yes she is, she explained it on her reality show. Just because they're prescription drugs..doesn't mean it's good for you.

[BettyluvsPA]

@EatinCactus she Stopped the pain killers and on one of the seasons she ... started acting loopy . i kow cause i know ppl that were on pain killers and ... got .... loopy lol

[elmando5]

Many people forget that before the craziness, Paula Abdul was a very innovative female recording artist like Madonna and Janet Jackson.

[AllisonTheSNLGuru]

Oh, I remember this commercial! I have the one from 1991 where she dances in the room full of ice while wearing the white dress.

I used to like this - I was young and loved how they used the magic of digital editing to have Gene Kelly dancing with her!

[CherryPespi312]

This makes me want to go out and get some diet coke right now...shes S0 pretty

[Liffer3]

WHICH COKE IS SHE ON! I WANT IT!

[TruValidity]

I LOVE this commercial! LOL

[clementgirl101]

paula u still have the moves

[nick6var]

Why doesn't Coca Cola use these commercials during American Idol? They could add shots of the current cans and bottles for easier product recognition, if that is an issue.

[JillStrif]

@nick6var Such a good idea! I love this commercial.

[PaulaJulieAbdul4Ever]

Thats like my fav commercial of all time. =P

[JillStrif]

...thats gene kelly.

[brandykody11]

imagine dancing with gene kelly, even if it is only on film....awesome!

[JUNIORWHOPPER]

Is she hotter in this commercial or this past year on American Idol? I don't really know. She never seems to age.

[honeybun51111]

tht dude in the sailor out fit she really looked up to him so they put a fake guy tht looked like him in the vid cause i think he died but if u want i have the vid where she said tht she liked him i forgot his name he did like a thing called singing in the rain or somthing and she used to watch him and she got some of her dance moves from it kinda if u look at his vids and hers its kool i luv paula well tell me if u want the vid

[urdwekstlinkgbye]

actually what they did was use the camara magic and digitally edited Gene Kelly into the commercial.

[SakuraTeardrop]

Actually I'd be flattered, if I were him :) because they relived it. It's something to be proud of. :D He's not being humiliated or anything. It's actually cool. OT, Gene Kelly's great 8D hehe.

[morthylla]

Había olvidado esta propaganda. Está buenísima, con lo mucho que me gusta Cary Grant y Paula Abdul.

[samisyosam]

I dunno about you guys, but if my image was dug up years after I had died for the sole purpose of selling diet coke, I'd be pissed.

[hdlover23]

uh, he was still alive when this released.

[samisyosam]

He... who?

Groucho Marx died in 1977 you moron.

[YoungGarrett]

Cary Grant died in 1986, so I'm sure Coke was just waiting 5 years to be polite hahaha.

[SakuraTeardrop]

She's very pretty here :)) Love the dance.

[deakyzsolt]

Cary Grant I love it! haha!

[SeasideDetective2]

Is that who I think it is watching Paula dance at 0:17 and 0:55?

[SeasideDetective2]

Okay....how about at 0:16 and 0:54....that blonde girl, second from the right....doesn't she look awfully familiar?

[smilegrrrrrl]

So cute! She had said in the late 80s that Gene kelly was her idol, so that's so sweet that she got to "dance" with him in a commercial.

[SeasideDetective2]

I was a big Groucho fan back in the day, so this spot really warmed my cockles. Anyway, it's great to once again see Paula Abdul back when she was actually cool.

[ColdDraga]

Groucho Marx=Instant Win

[Jzep]

OMG, I saw this commercial when I was like 6 or 7. I never got the point of it but I loved it. Now that IM older and know who those hollywood greats are, I love it even more. Awsome commercial.

[WickedWezz]

[awaywiththefairies16]

she looks like a right twat.

[Guillo5]

This is very nice!!!!!!!!!!

[thehardsucker]

yeah! why can't they do commercial like that? i agree with vaccarovj! =)

[xocute666]

the new VW commercial is like this but not as good

[jbdanfan]

Too bad Paula couldn't really dance with Gene (he was 79 at the time), but I heard that she became his tea-drinking buddy.

[Christloverm90]

[pleasureman88]

[1track4lyfe]

@fkrupelis It was 1992. It celebrated the 10th anniversary of Diet Coke which was first introduced in 1982.

[JUNIORWHOPPER]

Does she look younger on American Idol or in this commercial? I cannot decide.

[Dibrini]

The only thing younger about her are the contestants she bangs.

[carrieunderwoodcool]

[Merrypipgirl]
