[NikkitHcify]

Holy balls, I almost forgot about PERRRR CREEEEM.

[dalebert11]

Pearls are oyster snot.

[96arcana]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES!!!

[ArwenPendragon]

I love the idea of ringing their returns hotline to complain that 'my friends have not actually accused me of having had a face lift'.

[Angelsy1]

C.O.D., no less... that alone is a blast from the past. ;)

[smash8979]

PRECIOUS PEARLS PULVERIZED.



[pasturizer]

I used to do an impression of this commercial at family gatherings! Thanks for posting this!

[TheEmanthia]

@pasturizer You weren't the only one!!!

[NYCPANCAKES]

ROFLMAO! "Special Oriental ingredients" like what? Fragrance No 3, Petrolatum.... Not for nothing Nanck Kwan look like she would have been an AWESOME villaness in a movie or Soap Opera (more like Dallas/Falcon Crest).

[NYCPANCAKES]

"Oriental" lol, seriously?! I was raised with the notion Asian people do NOT like or even want to be called "Oriental". Asian women have great skin, cuz their Asian lol!

[lawyerly]

@NYCPANCAKES This was 30 years ago. The world changed.

[CheckerOfCups]

All of the testimonials were performed by woman 127 years old and up. True story.

[007James66]

OH MY GOD!!! So happy to find this Suzie Wong pearl cream commercial here. A good laugh ........ again......... used to watch laugh at it back in the early 90's. Made of real pearl?........ what a lie.

[Aeschlimann1]

Can someone pinpoint when "Oriental" became offensive?

[oneidafish]

@Aeschlimann1 and nobody IN Asia even cares...

[SnowClover]

special oriental ingredients homg :O

[TheMav2020]

i give my boyfriend purr queem everyday...text off menee yeaw!!

[TheMav2020]

[DoshUnScripted]

HOW RACISTSHE is.... you don't call a person Oriental, only things.

She would have to say ASIAN... bad Suzy wong, Baaaaaaaad !

[DoshUnScripted]

THUMBS UP

if you are tired of seeing the Exorcism of Anneliese Michel/ Emily Rose and that tortured face.

I SICK OF SEEING HER SHOWING UP!

[NecessityMOI]

Ancient Chinese secret, huh???

[NecessityMOI]

The antidote for CFS - Chapped Fotch Syndrome!!!

[broadcastmyballs]

Pearly cream on the faces of Asian women? ...I think I've seen a few movies about that before.

[kedavis]

I thought I was the only person who remembered this commercial!!!!

[PepperBabe]

its made with weal peaws!

[ArwenPendragon]

I'd be more disturbed by the fact that my grandkids knew what a facelift was!

[victorrain]

I actually remember this commercial!

[DoshUnScripted]

@victorrain

me too... we're old!

lol

[djerniepearl]

So good I changed my name to dj Ernie Pearl

[mebeluvined]

oh man, i immediately remembered this once she said "perrr keeem"

[NoLabelApparel]

Thanks for posting this! I've been making fun of this for years! They couldn't have picked a worse name for an Oriental woman to pronounce, it's only 5 letters, and it has an R and an L. LOL @ ajt141.

[alspence]

LOL @ Secret Oriental Ingredients!

[gthus]

i make my own pearl cream at home

[DoubleVisionandco]

Ancient chinese secret huh? rofl

[britlitgal]

"secret oriental ingredients"=MSG and lead

[GrumpyPandaFilms]

That is soo funny. I laughed out loud at this comment.

[donnyRandom]

"Pearl Queem"

[jintsyjames]

Oh those Chinese and their ancient secrets.

[xTCHCx]

those other anti-aging creams... they bullshit!

[turnbullac1]

I dare you to call the number

[jintsyjames]

@turnbullac1 no way....you first!

[amanda75208]

I use a different brand of a "pearl cream" only because I have very dry skin and it actually works. But you know why it works? The "secret Oriental ingredients" are glycerin and mineral oil. I don't know if the pearl cream I use really has pearl powder in it, but it smells nice.

[jposh707]

Accusatory friend: "You've had a facelift! I know it! Stop lying to me!!!!"

[jposh707]

Gotta love the crash of the gong at the very beginning of the ad. There's a few stereotypes in this ad...just a few, lol.

[Demimin91]

wow, mastercard and visa has been around since forever XD

[strobe155]

Drag Queen Varla Jean Merman did a spoof film where she was driving and she was accosted by people 'accusing her of having a facelift' AND she went crazy and crashed her car! Genius!

[phunkykat]

thank you for posting!!!! what a great memory!

[kevshrop]

I always loved this commercial. "Pel Cweem".

[raucous]

The actors' faces NEVER MOVED. Who knew Botox was available in the 80s?!

[pswoods]

made with reaw pearws. wow - how can you not

[smhussain62]

GrumpPandaFilms's parody response is hilarious. So all I have to do is call 1-800-453-7600? *writing it down*

[SCY385]

Boy does this bring back memories! But, on the real side, this stuff works. I use it, and I know people who use it that look great! If you can find some Ly-Na Pearl Cream, try it! Pearl Cream does work.

[AliasUndercover]

LACISTS!

[ajt141]

They are made with pulvawized peaws.

[formersk8ter]

@ajt141 Pulvawized peaws!!  LOL that made me laugh harder than I remember for a long, long time!!

[Jolefay]

THANK YOU. I have been trying to explain this commercial to friends forever. NOW I can show them. I wonder where one can buy Pearl Creme now? LOL.

[astrolabe1976]

i so remember this commercial. cracks me up!

[Mosaleah]

Oh my! But she looks so young! It must be the Pearl Cream.

[JonathanCrane82]

LOL

[AM2M]

Hell for 20 bucks I would give it a try. Sounds like a hell of a deal!

[LethalNEKO]

ancient secret eat a lot fish and its hard for you too look old and dont eat a lot of red meat

[nholmes]

Pearl Creme, skeet skeet!

[suzyQ2795]

lmao i love this commecial!

[herociousherocious]

it's great to watch this infomercial in 2009. tv was so funny! i found some background on its history as well as a useful transcription on theopenend(.)com

[rasaxSF]

I always wondered about that. Thanks Nancy. Now I get it.

[wengilee]

we even EAT pearl powder .

Its just a well-known chinese medication.

[Lakeview312]

Wow..I totally remember this...puhrrrl cweam...lol

[Mosaleah]

How the hell do her grandkids know what a facelift is?

[ilovesmyboo99810]

I just called the 1-800 number..and they do not sell Pearl Cream anymore. Hate to disappoint you

[slapt94]

I ordered my pearl cream a month ago and still haven't got it.

[midnightblue80]

She doesn't have a speech impediment people. First, she is from Hong Kong and thus Cantonese would be her first language.  Cantonese does not have an r sound. Second, she speaks British English which does not pronounce the final r. Cantonese does have an l sound.

[xandervaliya]

Gasp, the "Orient" has been keeping secrets from us! Secrets not meant for "Western" eyes...

(((((GONG)))))!!

[luckyjoe]

She looks great! If only they had something for her speech impediment.

[tregibbs]

Oriental !?!?!?  LOL - carpets are oriental, people are ASIAN !!

[Capice79]

OMG! I love that you posted this. When I was a kid I used to do a perfect imitation of the gruff announcer back in the 90s when this aired all the time. I love that it says if your friends dont accuse you of having had a face lift simply return the unused portion for a full refund LOL! Too Funny!!

[FaerieCrone]

LMAO Why would you WANT your friends to think you've had a face lift?

[musicom67]

puhrrl-cweam, and it's made fwom weal puhrrls. And then the gruff announcer..what a classic!

[yellotaxibuffoon9]

i love sybyll

[roothands]

I have been looking for this commercial ever since I originally saw it on television as a kid.

[bigburpboy]

OMFG! the pearl cream commercial!! LOL..nice post, tirado

[mountainboy1980]

I feel the exact same way, OMFG...I made fun of this back then, imagine the smile it brought to my face now.

[sherribailey75]

OH MY EFFIN GOD. I can't believe you have this commercial!!! I was just thinking about this shit and thought, NO WAY am I gonna find this insanity on youtube. And there it is. I remember watching this crap in '90; they aired it all the time. Sweet memories.

[sircamvialco]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've had this in the back of my mind forever and wished I could see it. Recently I was telling a friend about it, and she had never seen it. Yet she's been quoting it (even sending texts of it to me) ever since. Now I can actually show it to her! It's nice to know I'm not alone here! :) Thanks again for the memory! I had no idea that woman was Nancy Kwan!!!

[truelove1330]

This just shows you really can find almost anything online. My girlfriend didn't believe that "ancient Chinese secret" was from old pearl cream commercials, and 10 seconds later I prove her wrong. Go Technology!

[xSithHappensx]

She's probably thinking of the old Calgon commercial. Check out video ojm1Xzwlc9Q.

[truelove1330]

oh, no...you're right...don't tell my girlfriend.

[xSithHappensx]

LOL.  Secret's safe here.

[ilovethismusic]

You mean it's made from 'Wheel Purrls'???

[dameneko]

oh damn! growing up, my friends and i entertained ourselves for hours doing "puwl cweem" imitations...we are half-chinese, just like nancy kwan! eff the PC police. and bless my oriental genes -- they have secret ingredients, you know. =) thanks for posting!!

[KVKW]

It's amazing how many people still remember & love this ad. Nancy is cool!

[rubbe]

yeah rite

[slapt94]

There was no Pc in the 80's and it was great.

[gettel21]

My sister and i used to make so much fun of this lady when we were kids. I've been waiting for someone to post this. Thank you so much.

[kingstonmassive]

thank you for adding this ...

[mooncakemary]

HAHAHA

[johnnydiva]

Thanks for posting this! A friend & I were joking this afternoon about this ad, so I had to visit YouTube & watch it again for old times sake!

[seraphale]

Oh yes! Pewl Cweam!

[BicolBandit]

Hahahahahahaha! Special oriental ingredients, eh?

[GunPoor]

ROFL!!! this is something we always joked about as kids.

[MissLori]

OMG I remember this!!!

[wilbear64]

I used it as a personal lubricate, and I have never been happier!

[chrisf4i]

Purr cweam kicks major ass!

[NewsLynne]

I loved this as a kid. She sounds like Baba Wawa.

[sjpflute]

What a great commercial, I remember it well!!

Thank you very much!!

[ninocontini]

Been waiting to see this for years. Made fwom puwvawized pohws. Wetone the unused pohwshun faw a fuw wefund! Love it!

[AuntBarbara]

Pearl Cream on the skin and Pearl drops on the teeth! How could a gal go wrong?

[vatonorteno]

Yes, Nancy, I've always had a hard time telling how old Oriental women are!

[SERIALGOTHNYC]

I have been searching for this commercial for ages, and I in fact was recently accused of having a face life myself..thanks PEARL CREAM!!!

[mishatanus]

My dad and I got a huge kick out of this. We were recollecting 1080's commericals and this was one of our top contenders for rediculios commercial we tired of watching. you made our evening!

[miamivicepastels83]

im scared of that accusation they should make lol!

[AndrewT3660]

This commercial is hiliarious: I nearly fell out of my chair laughing! "If your friends don't accuse you of having a facelift, simply return the unused portion for a full refund."

[megazone33]

Thanks much for putting this up you rock! I've been checking You tube off and on for over a year trying to see if anyone put this damned commercial up haha!
