Lauren Bacall Coffee Commercial

[ohgonzy]

you think coffee and sleep don't mix? they do if it's high point! it's decaffeinated! and the flavuh's mahvelous.

1st class hahahahaha

[bcdicarlo04]

I had to look through four different high point coffee commercials to find this one.

[rmuirden]

it's decaffeinated

[FranklyMyDearTV]

I need a ringtone of her saying "flavuh." I <3 Lauren!

[Craigbe]

Just like Orson Wells and that cheap wine....

[novayorker]

It was really cute hearing Emma Stone's impersonation of this in Crazy, Stupid, Love. and knowing that it was also something she tweeted. Too bad she deleted the tweet though.

[CRdramas]

@novayorker LOL I watched this because I was curious about what commercial was Emma Stone was impersonating. :) Can you tell what she tweeted?

[novayorker]

@CRdramas Oh, it wasn't anything special. It just said: "My favorite time of day is night." And had a link to the video.

[CRdramas]

@novayorker Thanks!

[delyar]

Happy Birthday, Betty!

[bertskoi]

"Flay-vah this rich just HAS to be deep brewed" - That's one of Lauren (well, Bette's) INIMITABLE other lines from one of the other ads I remember and may even have on VHS from the time, 1981-1982 ! Also, who could ever forget the sample packets ??!!!! "AHHNT these sample packets CUTE? ANNND THEY-AH FREE!" & then Lauren instructed everyone to listen to the address of where to write for the sample packets: "Come on WRITE us, yohhhr gonna LOV V V V V IT !"

[leannewoodfull]

I'd drink anything she told me to, oh Lauren..

[AudiGal09]

mmmm it's a coffee lovers' DREEEEEAM. lol

lauren i would drink anything you advocate but i don't think they make this anymore :(

do they, youtube?

[elc1960]

"You DO know how to drink High Point, don't you? You just put your lips together . . . and slurp!"

[MrJonesGallagher]

Bacall... What Else ?

[animelover1234]

Dang, where can I buy it? All of it? xD

[EdNortonisMineLol]

"The flay-vah is marr-velous!" You've got to love that voice

[tyjeffries]

I LOVE the way she say's D Kaafinatud!

[mrspatrickcampbell]

Lauren is so butch but she does nothing for us.

[MEGAINDIEROCK]

@jackiebush Totally agree, she wis amazing in the films Superbad & Zombieland, both hilarious modern cult comedy classics:=)

[jackiebush]

@MEGAINDIEROCK and I agree with all of that too! :) She's lovely.

[MEGAINDIEROCK]

@jackiebush If ya haven't seen it yet, also check out the very funny underrated film "The Rocker" w/ Emma Stone tae:=)

[benishot777]

her voice sounds like a speak and spell..

[Itsburied]

Me too

[TheFlyingCarSings]

emma stone sent me here. <3

[papercranefolder]

@TheFlyingCarSings Same here =)

[smh99]

@TheFlyingCarSings Same ! ( :

[kiboonimichita]

@TheFlyingCarSings hahaha same! lol

[henrysinaga]

that kind of cup was meant for drinking tea not cofee

[wattever333]

people drink coffee for its taste and not its effect?

"richest aroma yet", doesn't that mean artificial flavors?

[BrokenEtoile]

what a voice.. ♥

[TTLYPerfect]

"mmmmmmmoooooooooo" Its a coffee lovers dream.....

Sorry, was it me or did the legend moo??? (sorry, I truly admire Bacall, I really do! How uplifting and funny)

[wattever333]

@TTLYPerfect OMG why did you apologize twice for/within the same post??? what are you so afraid of?

[TTLYPerfect]

@wattever333 lol simply because I'd hate to insult the ledged in any way...and maybe I was sleep deprived as well lol!

[wattever333]

@TTLYPerfect People are way too afraid of stating their opinions. We have to realize that we are being bullied by the "politically correct" and the "diva defenders" (and other forms of trolls), and then we have to stand up for ourselves and/or ignore them. It is only by stating dissenting opinions that we make things move forward in life.

[TTLYPerfect]

@wattever333 You are correct, thanks for your advice. Also, thanks for not being afraid to say what you really feel...there's not enough people who have the guts; instead there’s too many bullies trying to dissuade free thought.

[ConfusedSponge]

a legend in a real baddd commercial

[lalagonegaga]

That voice... THE voice... Perfect...

[JewishSicilian]

Trivia facts on this ( worked on the campaign back then when I was just starting out.):

Richest aroma = the aroma when you first open the jar! not the aroma on the coffee. I could not believe it when the network apporved the claim

The previous campaign called "Decaffeinate the one you love" was hysterically (bad). There is one of those commericals on here.

She was chosen for the ad because of her high standards.

[Hunterunc]

Who ever heard of High Point coffee? Bacall gives it the old college try, but geez.

[twintube2009]

Hahahahhaaaaa:-) Incredible...listen to the sound of her voice when she is humming for "pleasure" at 00:21. Run that sound a few times and you have either a bumble-bee or a cello-like chain-saw:-) She is GREAT:-)

[blowtorchacurlyfry1]

Ha!

[DisasterFlicks]

omg i just died laughing :D

[devangelis]

That VOICE!!!!!

[Autovan91]

lol! flava!

[lowribrooke]

Ok she sounds like a man !!!

[GpBabe10]

Deep-BREWED flavah.

[Sparrow405]

lol hilarious!!

[rditull]

It's de CAF feinated!

[HonestySavesLies]

She says decaffeinated funny! She's still awesome.

[shinznay]

when she says mmm. she has a crokay vioce!

[Sugarbehr1967]

Cheapchinos..actually this ad was late 80's..the product unfortunately disappeared in the 90's due to poor sales..

[Beatleschick1]

I dont have anything against Lauren Bacall but her voice sounds like a man's here.

[FreeDogKnight]

You wouldn't know "sophisticated" if it kicked you up the arse!

[CheapChinos]

This spot dates back to about 1973. I worked as a junior art director in the creative group that had this account and did the Highpoint ads. Compton Advertising, 625 Madison Ave.....long gone.

[2dboy]

that is so cool! do you still work in advertising? god, to have been in ny in the 70's as a young AD at an ad agency - must have been fun

[LaBellaSiena]

Man her eyes rock, I don't think there was a more beautiful actress in her time she's my favorite!

And where the heck did you find this commercial? haha

[beachbabe6271]

i love how she says decafinated, and flavor!

[BillyL96]

What year was this?

[brushstrokesrock]

Lauren Bacall definitely has that distinct aroma...what a legend! :-D

[luciapamela]

I love this. I want to lounge around in a housecoat and talk about flavah.

[ShangoJamal]

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

O-kay???...

[ShangoJamal]

she did another commercial for HIGH POINT

"Writing is a Coffee Lovers Dream.

This piece took 4 cups.

I can without caffeine. So can you.

But FLA-VAH?... NE-VAH!!!".

[rcktmanil]

I've uploaded that one - it's on my account! LOVE IT!

[ShangoJamal]

@rcktmanil Yes I saw it just the other ay. I HOLLERED when I saw it. CLASSIC!

[gordonmary]

A HUGE star doing an instant coffee television commercial and who just transforms the genre into great popular art! The husky, sexy smoker's contralto voice, the Brooklyn drawl, the iron authority and confidence.... she always kicks ass! I've told people about this commercial for decades ("FLA-VAHHH!") and now we get to finally see it again here. I LOVE YouTube!! Betty--you're the best!

[DavidWhatsHisName]

I shook hands with Lauren Bacall, and had a brief chat with her, at a press conference in 1979. I was 19 years old at the time, and she, of course, was decades older than I, but I was struck by how incredibly sexy and beautiful she was. In person, she also had a warmth and humor that never came through in her screen performances -- She was always the cool, mysterious femme fatale onscreen. But a warm and funny KNOCKOUT in person!

[js097]

You see, high point has a SPECIAL way of sealing in flavah!

Deep brewed flavah!

[manthatgotaway]

mmmmmMMMMMMMmmmm.

[TotallyDionne]

What is she, Hungarian?

[coolitababy]

Why do you say that? Sorry...don't get it.

[coolitababy]

Sorry, I get it now...it's de-CAFF-einated.

[TotallyDionne]

BINGO.  hehe.

[smithjae]

its de CAF fienated

[cherifchel]

This absolutely priceless. Don't ever take it off of YouTube. I am so adding it to my favorites.

[AdArmand]

Can you imagine cranky old Bette Davis doing this commericial?

"Fasten your seat-belts, its gonna be a High Point night!"

[ClassicFilmFan]

Hahaha *lol*

Well I would buy the Coffee if I saw a commercial like that.

But I also do like this one ;)

[freefromfolsom]

LOL just noticed why does she OPEN the curtains? i close mine at NIGHT do you?

[8OYRAC3R]

LOL

[edadam]

she opened them because her favorite time of day is night!

[giulianadp]

hahaha

[boyfriendable]

I remember this commercial but the one that sticks to my mind is when she says "around he-ah we don't like coffee, we love it..thats why I drink high point decaffinated coffee because I am a coffee lova , Deep brewed flava, ahhh yess"

[superbu1]

My favorite was the one where she said, "I don't need caffeine, I'm active enough, thank you." I still say that when I have decaf, ha ha.

[boyfriendable]

OMG, I remember that one too...hehehe...if you would not have remembered it....

Jayson

[freefromfolsom]

LOL!

[waffen2]

i wish she was chain smoking her chesterfields

[NITENITEBABY]

You have to love Lauren here. I was convinced because the "Bacall" said so until I actually tried High Point Decaffeinated. It wasn't a bad instant, but "deep brewed flavor, ummmmmmmmmmmm!"? Not quite. They didn't sell High Point in all parts of the country but they did in Connecticut in the early to mid 80s.

[cherifchel]

Hey, be nice! It's priceless! I'm putting it on MySpace!

[AlexCorpVideos]

OMG this is so cute, I love this! Thanks! Feel free to stop by my profile! I have Lauren Bacall in "Applause"!

[CIGARRO1970]

No Baby Youre My Dream!

[Mangano75]

fantastic - maybe she needed the money
