For those that wonder. That "kid" is RICKY POWELL. He is a VERY nice person. He did MANY commericals as well as BEWITCHED,Rod Serling's NIGHT GALLERY.
Ricky told me his kids LOVE those waffles. For the record....He is NOT fat,like he looks in the 30 second spot. He did answer this youtube page a few times and keeps an eye open for comments here.
I remember this commercial, but apparently what is considered "good" has REALLYH changed in 40 years. (I EAT Eggo waffles, but actually ADVERTISING them as "frozen waffles with extra batter for a man-sized appetite" is... well, rather unappetizing.)
Leggo my Eggo.....okey realy you can let go............dude dont be an ass the commercials over give me my damn eggo back or im gonna throw a shit fit
not all parents have their children when they are children. i'm sorry your parents were still minors when they had you. are you raising your parents, or what?
I think the thing is that people aged faster back then. Now-a-days it's normal for people to be working out and eating healthy all their lives, and they're looking better for it right up into their 50s.
It would be cool if they reshot that commercial with the kid all grown up and having the same conversation with his own kid. And the grandfather (the dad in this commercial) saying, "Now how does it feel?"
