Norelco Santa

[AntsAunty]

NOW its Christmas...

[danafreddy]

My criticism is not upon your intent, but on the quality of this commercial in this day and age. Cannot Norelco release the vintage ad for our sake? :)

[SuperLexusman]

When I (still) see the commercial my outlook automatically gets brighter.

CLASSIC

"Floating heads, floating heads, floating all the way. Norelco is the shaver gift to give on Christmas day!" It ain't Christmas until I see this little guy. Thanks for sharing!

[Hulk2k6]

This is the ad Will Smith talking about in The first Season christmas ep of Fresh Prince and he's mentioning watching it as one of his fave christmas pastimes

"He's sitting on the shaver!"

Note: I live on the other side of the Atlantic and have never seen this.

@Hulk2k6

LOL this is the same reason i searched for this advert

[margotdarby]

This is the new one, not the original. The original showed the two-rotary head and was in black and white.

Glad to hear that so many people have such fond memories of this commercial. My dad, Len Greene was the designer of the series of Santa Norelco Commercials back in the1960's.

[titanramfan]

@champagne412 Cool! Yes, we 60's and 70's kids have fond memories of this. It was like The Sign that Christmas really was coming when we saw Santa on the razor!

[joannehall2916]

Me three!

[debbadepp]

This used to be my favorite commercial as a kid!! Thanks!

[oldyuma]

Oh yeah...this is GOOD stuff!...

[Jennifermikelle]

Check out that ladies' home beauty salon. :D

[scrubbypea]

I wish those days were here again!

[sr71ablackbird]

@scrubbypea believe me, you are NOT the only one !!!! , I think most on here wish those days were here, especially these past few years.

[GothicIowegian]

Thanks for that, I always enjoyed that as a kid and it was a treat to see it again!

[Nekosenpai24]

Oh yeah, I remember this commercial!

[audiophile55]

Ahhhh...I love these old commercials that were out during Christmas. Brings back such warm memories, and you were even allowed to say "Christmas", and not have to worry about offending anyone. It's "CHRISTMAS"

[phillygrl69]

I know!!!  I noticed even this past Christmas...the local TV stations would have a "HAPPY HOLIDAYS" promo. But when I was younger, it would either be ..."MERRY CHRISTMAS" or at times.."SEASONS GREETINGS"...

[albear972]

And how about that crap of calling Christmas trees holiday trees! PS BS gone wild!

[debbadepp]

Amen. I was raised to be tolerant and accepting. I knew not everyone believed in Christmas--they did their thing and we did ours. I'm so tired of people telling me I have to worry about offending people by saying "MERRY CHRISTMAS"....get over it, people...He's the only reason this holiday is celebrated. If you don't like it, simply look away. Tolerance works both ways.

[KKD1247]

Most Norelco's had 3-heads. I had a rare 2-head model, just as shown in the commercial.

[anthonydomiano]

Hey Boyer! "roto-track" ? hahahahahaha

[nycdweller]

"Even our name says Merry Christmas". Love it.

[SMFCPA]

What a classic! It took me back to my childhood, and seeing that on the black and white TV ALWAYS meant that Christmas was on the way!

[stealthbiker]

The Norelco Santa coming down the hill on his razor always meant "Christmas Time" for me. Great that I can see the classics too!

Thanks

[crowamonghens]

same here. i always knew it was officially the christmas season.

[binkle1]

I LOVED this commercial! It always gave me the thrill of Christmas when I saw it.

[cathycraft]

Thanks for posting this. A favorite memory was seeing this during Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer when I was a child.

[cossack207]

JUST LIKE ME!

[debbadepp]

me, too!

[newenglandvideo]

They did an update to this commercial about 4 years ago. I have it in my archives and I will post it .

[newenglandvideo]

I'm posting the 2004 commercial today. Just check on my youtube name to see it.

The narrator is Peter Thomas who is now in his 80's. He is still working and can be heard on Forensic files.

[thoughtfoxe]

Yes, he does a lot of voice overs for crime shows.
