Funnily enough, this is more like modern commercials in that it's really just a random cool situation which is vaguely implied to be somehow related to the product. That said, it's still an awesome, All-American feel-good ad. COCA-COLA!
If you want a job, you better get fucking buzzing on coke. Make some sandwiches, and pancakes without fucking it all up, I'll give you a shot at the two whores in blue.
This is my favorite Coke ad to date. I really like how "Burt" and the waitress face each other in disbelief, how the customers react to the boy's work with cheers and applause, how Burt hugs the boy and coiffs him with his hat, how the customers toast the boy with their Coke cups, and even how Burt smiles and points to boy as if to say, "That's my boy!"
I like the song in the background too. It saddens me that tv ads these days are not nearly as good as they used to be... and what happens to the jingles? Have hipsters really succeeded in putting into the minds of the general population that jingles are supposedly "cheesy?"
This was my first National Commercial it was filmed right outside of New York City in 1984 at a diner. It was nominated for a Cleo Award and came in second place. My name is T.j. Meyers and I played the truck driver at the counter who yelled yahoo after the kid flipped the pancakes then toasted with a Coke at the end. Sure would like a copy of this. Is that possible I wonder?
i couldn't agree more ;D this spot was titled "First Job" and first aired during the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. i played the guy at the counter with a ball cap who told "Burt" to give the boy a chance then whaahooed the kid after he flipped the pancakes then i toasted him with my Coke.

If he's THAT good at his job, why is he in a diner? The 80s had a great economy!

@scottbaino With that shirt and haircut, he's probably a reformed Wall Streeter. He was way ahead of his time.

Wow, the were actually telling little stories back in those 80's commercials. I like this commercial because of it's cheerful style.

This was before it changed to Coke classic, after the new Coke had failed. Nobody didn't like the new coke.
