  • professional entertainers my ass.bullshit who is she joni mitchell.lol.

  • Ronco owned the 70s.

  • RONCO??????

    Jman

  • The line, "Hey, good looking, we'll be back to pick you up later" would now get you sued for sexual harassment and arrested for stalking.

  • The dude shucking and jiving @ 0:23 used to have me buggin' out. I wonder where all those people are now?

  • im sure that girl is still waiting for that stud to come back & pick her up

  • Stereotypical black dude juking at 0:23. Hilarious!

  • HOW THE FUCK IS THIS PRACTICAL?

  • Ah, if only it worked! LOL. Believe me, I bugged my parents FOREVER to get me one. When it was finally in-stock & "available at fine retailers" like Kmart, Airway (now Target), & Hooks I got a Mr. Microphone. But it sucked! I think because the device only broadcasted on a very fine tuned wavelength that was near impossible to find with a dial-tuned radio vs. the digital tuners of today. Modern day ipod adapters for the car work the same. Plus it drank batteries like you wouldn't believe.

  • Everytime I see this commercial, I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode "Radio Bart"

  • i cant stop thinking that the black guy is the guy who the guy says is good looking, IM NOT RACIST!

  • @themashypotato  ROTHLMAO!

  • I do remember this ad...of course the sound coming out of the radio wouldn't be as good as what you hear in the ad. Not on small little radios like that (maybe the car stereo might give you that sound...) I see this in movies--someone turns on a cheap little radio and it sounds like high quality audio! Not!

  • the "hey good looking" guy is my uncle haha

  • @dodgerdynasty1988 Your uncle is famous in my brain. That line pops into my head all the time.

  • "professionals use mr. microphone". since when did professionals want to play on their own fucking radio. ever heard of a speaker?

  • It seems like $14.88 would be kind of a lot, back in the day!

  • Actually I think that's a good way to disturb a party.

  • baxtersave96 im more worried that there arent batteries included

  • i would fuck with my parents sooo bad with this

  • 0:38 the kids are all dead now because of an electric shock :P (I realize they are not plugged in, but still)

  • I came here cause of kipkay :p

  • does this still work in 2011 i want one...

  • lol 0:23 black man danceing

  • Eddie Murphy paid tribute to this commercial in "Shrek 2," in the scene where Shrek, Fiona and Donkey arrive in Far Far Away in the carriage. Riding through the street, Donkey calls out, "Hey, good looking, be back to pick you up later!" I had forgotten all about Mr.Microphone until I saw that movie.

  • Ahhhh , This is what started Kareoke

  • bunch of bullshit the soul brother dancing down the street if he was holdind the radio that close to mr.microphone there would be all kinds of feed back coming out of his stolen radio.i had one back in the early 80s cheap piece of crap plastic.

  • "Hey good lookin' - we'll be back to slip some rufies into your Slurpee later!"

  • Throw away your transmission towers.

  • Comment removed

  • @0:32 He's in for some lovin'!

  • @davoise 

  • RobPatterson666 are you reading this?

  • check out SCTV's dead-on parody, Mr Boom Microphone

  • My mom has something that looks like that in her closet but it vibrates and smells weird.

  • @c4r50n1 DILDO

  • @SIGNALSTAT Wrong, vibrator.

  • thumbs up if you went here because of kipkay

  • @GreenDayEmoGirl1 i acutally did o.o YOU MIND READER! >:O

  • Where the fuck did they come up with the price of $14.88

  • @baxtersave96 Thank you for that laugh.

  • @baxtersave96 MUST BE NAZIS

  • Dude that;s Joe E Tata from Beverly Hills 90210

  • So this is what the 70's were like........... 

  • oh 70s, what happened to you?

  • Become a hip black guy!

  • i made that with a 5 dollar toy 2 way radio

  • i had one it was ok but you had to stay close to a radio or the signal from it would not work .it was a low power fm transmitter you tuned it to a blank spot on the fm dial.

  • my god this thing was like not to be found in stores at that time ........... great memories

  • I think the guy in the car was talking to that black guy.

  • that lot jivemak danced by is now a burgerking.

  • $14.88? That's like $300 in today's economy!

  • @BBBSparky1 more like 6000

  • hahaha...childhood memories. 'Hey...Let's put a bunch of radios around a pool and start splashing!'

  • Guy at :23 is funny.

  • just look at it ha ha ha

    in Soviet Russia, microphone holds YOU

  • death proof!

  • "Hey good lookin', we'll be back to pick you up later!" quickly became an often-repeated satirical joke for a great many people.

  • One day Jiveman thought to himself, "I must dance. What better place to do that than up and down my street all by myself? I'll look silly with no music, so I'll sing to myself at the top of my lungs. But wait, then only people in my immediate vicinity will get the benefit. Hmmm.... I know! I'll use Mr. Microphone and hold a tiny radio so as not to inhibit my moves!"

    And that is how the universe was saved.

  • The guy in the red shirt has some moves, Ron Popeil sold his company for a couple hundred million and lives in Beverly Hills...set it and forget it. NOT.

  • 10 people use beats

  • Its so funny how in the first scenario, when he first talks through the radio. Everyone has an orgasm, and they freaked out about it when they're right next to eachother. It wouldn't make a difference :D

  • Am I the only one who sees this commercial and just wants one of these?

  • @kakarooku

    Nope! You are not alone!

  • Today it would be 14.99? Where's .88 come from? LOL!

  • THEY ARE ALL SO TALENTED!!!!!!!

  • lol,,, look at the racial stereotypes,,,,,,,wtf?

  • In every one of these scenarios, the radio is much too close to the mic! It would be screeching with feedback!

  • @GarrettYork STFU

  • i had one of these! loved it!

  • thumbs up if kipkay sent you here!

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, this is perfect, because I love to see black guys dancing down hills singing to themselves while simultaneously raping my eardrums and being sexually harassed by some blonde creep with a mullet/ Jew fro! Awesome!

  • black kids had christmas back then?

  • where can i get one lol

  • it's only $14.88. ah the good ol' days before things went to $19.95. of course, 15 bucks back then was like $50 now. i got one of these for xmas once many years ago. fuckin' thing didn't work worth a shit. it ended up in the trash a week after xmas like a lot of other lame toys i got over the years.

  • Did anybody else notice the retard by the pool splashing around the radios? LOL, I got a better idea guys! Lets put the radios IN THE WATER! Oh wait dude this pool party wouldnt be complete without some toast!

  • Ah man, i remember when this aired in 1979, wow,memories. LOL, the 1970"s technology is funny but at the time in 1979 it was state of the art. Kinda like when my parents bought the Atari 2600 back in 1979 ,it was cutting edge but compared to now, oh geez,lol

  • @akclan33 Hahaha I hear you, I totally wanted that for Christmas and thought it was the greatest thing ever (next to my 2600). 70s tech was special for some reason, wasn't it?

  • those guys at 0:45 are professional entertainers,alright..hah!

  • I have that radio in my basement :)

  • these kids are having so much fun fighting with a microphone

  • Van Halen used Mr. Microphone at the US Festival concert.

  • do they even sell those now?

    

  • @profirenet I guess u can find Mr. Microphone on sale online somewhere

  • I sooo wanted a Mr. Microphone but never got one for a present. Actually no one I know had one but the commercial became an classic at my school with "Hey baby, I'll be back to pick you up later."

    But dear god this commercial is cheesy-I forgot about the Ben Vareen token African American dancing of course. Ah memories.

  • I don't get the "broadcast in mono or with 2 or more radios in stereo." What if the extra radios are also mono? Isn't it still just all mono? Don't you need two microphones to create stereo?

  • @wftjet i think it was a joke

  • @Calum69MC69Kemmie This was not a joke. It was a real product.

    Ron Popeil invented it.

  • @retro80stv I never denied the existence of the product, my comment was a reply to @wtfjet , who said: 'I don't get the "broadcast in mono or with 2 or more radios in stereo." What if the extra radios are also mono? Isn't it still just all mono? Don't you need two microphones to create stereo?'

  • I bet half the people in here commenting on this commercial weren't even born yet!

  • oh yes....I remember this commercial! 

  • That's hilarious the guy dancing down the street is also singing Jingle Bells. It's like couldn't they think of another song to sing? I guess it had to be public domain.

  • @wftjet .....they always advertised this commercial around the Christmas holidays

  • "hello Rodd and Todd, this is God, now walk through the wall"

  • Comment removed

  • sweet, Imma pick one up at the local shop thing

  • OMG! is that Barack Obama at 0:24 dancing after the Senate version of the Health Care Bill was passed by the House?

    AND it came with a free microphone stand!

  • Hey good lookin I will be back to pick you up later. Ha Ha Ha I love it.

    This is so......70's....ha ha ha old school

  • 0:38 that splash just trashed both those radios. hello garbage bin

    lol

  • mr.microphone can put your voice on the radio?

    how about the people lived next door, will it affect their radio frequence as well?

    thanks if somebody knows it ^^

  • @bboyliangwei That thing's total broadcast range is maybe sixteen feet. You could only be heard over the radio if you were close enough to hear anyway.

  • @bboyliangwei if they are tuned to the same frequency as you are broadcasting on then it could, depending how good their radio is and how close they are to you. i don't think these broadcast for very far

  • ha ha ha jrcfoxtrot13

  • HELLO GOOD LOOKING WE WILL BE BACK TO RAPE YOU LATER!!!!!!! fucking scary ass person saying that dood

  • gonna get me one of these to score with all the chicks as i'm driving. They'll be so impressed, wow he must be rich with a microphone in his car.

  • Note the brief cameo by the originator of rap music.

  • 0:41..."professional entertainers use MR. MICROPHONE for rehearsing"....of course...EVERYONE knows that....(its a GREAT STUDIO QUALITY MIC).....Everyone knows that! :)

  • yeah...splash water near the radio idiot...lol

  • LOL I had one when I was a kid :D

  • Wow lame first :11 seconds lol lol lol

  • Mr. Microphone, Fuckin' a, that brings back childhood memories!!

    SERPO

  • This product saved my life once.  Long story...

  • Garrett Morris???????

  • FUNNY WOW!!! 0:27 should be feedback

  • $14.88... yikes, adjusted for inflation, I'm guessing that's the equivalent of around 50 bucks today! Seems a little steep for a rinkydink microphone, somehow.

  • Comment removed

  • lol "hey good looki'n well be back to pick you up later!"

  • the black dude is the best

  • all mics have a radio transmiter now

    plus mr mic has a cheap microphone inside (watch mr microphone hack)

    the transmiter is good but its a good idea to open it and replce tha cheap mic with the one of agood cpu mic.

  • How do we ever survive without mister Microphone??

  • lol $14.88, a lot different than the usual $19.99 you get today lol. I mean it sounds different :)

  • i want one of things and i want a big transmitter and let the whole town here me ........... >_>

  • The people in the pool....wtf were they thinking???

    Darwinianism at its finest.

  • Darwinianism? Really? Sure about that?

  • AHHH SIMPSON ACID FLASHBACK

  • 0:30 Hey "Good Lookin'," if you come back to pick me up later, I'll pepper spray you...

  • awesome im looking at acient history

  • And it's cheaper than a karaoke machine!

    That guy dancing down the street is just hilarious.

    And that group in the pool is just waiting to get electrocuted!

  • Comment removed

  • The simpsons was the Superstar Celebrity Microphone, bart gets one for his birthday.

  • My uncle farted into a Mr. Microphone and it pretty much destroyed the town.

  • I WANT A MISTER MICROPHONE!!!

  • I remember hearing Scott Mills banging on about this about a year ago. completely forgot about it.. thats some good shiiiiiitt

  • Thats why I came to!

  • yeah millsy is a legend. always cracks me up

  • Hey good looking! We'll be back to pick you up laterrr!

    lol, this is the most ridiculous product ever.

  • This commercial would have been more effectrive if the lady guitar player was naked and undulating.  I took one of these to a dance one time and got roundly boooed. I am such a loser.

  • god that black guy is so happy just to be singing and dancing!

  • Comment removed

  • Best dancing ever! 0:23 hahaha

  • You can broadcast in mono or with two ro more radios in ster- (splash) BBBBBBBZZZZZZzzzZZZZZZZZTTT!!!­!

  • GREATEST COMMERCIAL EVER

  • BUT WAIT!! if you call right now we will send you a mini microfone so you can spy on your wife!!! : )

  • We had one of the damned things. Like most Ronco products, it worked occasionally.

    "Professional musicians", indeed.

  • You can broadcast with mono or herpees..or you can broadcast while pretending to be bono lol

  • I think the blond kid in the car is talking to the black guy dancing: "Hey good lookin'. We'll be back to pick you up later!"

  • Nice!

  • @ivycompton LMAO!!!!! it's what's known as a low-budget edit.

    Probably the BEST comment and BEST observation here, M8. "Hey good lookin'. We'll be back to pick you up later!

    Behind the Seasonal Rape Clinic!"

  • @FallopianBather

    Ha-ha. Thanks FB. I 'bout died when I saw that after so many years. Love your SRC ref!

  • damn!! i want one!!!!!

  • I hope to God these radios were battery operated! 0:33.

  • The radio fell in after and he was electrocuted!

  • Today, if you used Mr. Microphone and yelled out from you car, Hey good lookin, well be back to pick up up later, you would probably get shot. What a bummer man!

  • Jesus, how many times did I see those sorry things on yardsale tables being sold for a nickel or a dime. I passed them up then, and sure as hell wasn't spending $15 on them new.

    It goes to show you that you can sell anything if you market it right... even if it is useless. "Professional musicians" used this thing to rehearse? Give me a break!

  • "...it's practical"???

  • Hey good looking! We'll be back to pick you up later!!

  • ads used to suck back than lol

  • Mr Microphone killed my mother, and raped my wife!!

  • its got a shity mic inside it. un solder it and solder a high quality one in

  • All of those radios next to the pool. Hope they were running on batteries.

  • Yeah, I'm suuuuuuuure that professional musicians use it. Right.

  • I'm trying to learn to dance like the Black guy at :23. I have been walking into work that way and the babes all line up for me. I am such a loser. But, love this spot.

  • If you showed a black guy dancing a jig like that in today's atmosphere, you'd be targeted as a racist. Back then the civil rights movement targeted institutionalized racism... individuals were safe. Today, the institutions have long since been brought into tow, so it's individuals who are targeted under the new agenda of "hidden racism". The struggle must continue!

  • @mnpd007

    tell it like it is, honky!

  • wow,$14.88, what a random price

  • '' Hey good lookin'  are you on your period?! !!!!

  • I REMEMBER THIS!!!!!!!

    I especally remember 0:28-0:33

    WHAT ABOUT FEEDBACK???

    also they still make them!!! i swear...

  • fuck you, mr microphone....

  • BEST COMMERCIAL EVER MADE! by the way i never owned one of these...

  • The dancing guy in that 70's outfit at .23 is the GREATEST! I laughed so hard I had tears running down my cheeks!

  • Eww

  • taking it to the next level, SCTV had a sketch-'mr. boom microphone"

  • You dummies make fun but research the inventor and see what else he's done for us....and how many millions he made

  • what a fucking piece of shit

    who the fuck would buy some fucked up thing like that.

  • Get a life fucktard

  • i clamored for months to get one of those in the 80's. One glorious christmas morning i got my mr. microphone.
