Dr. Pepper - "I'm a Pepper" TV Commercial 70's

[ivegotalongdong]

i like the cute on the left at the beginning. these were classic commercials

[falvo244]

In the 1980 movie: "Midnight Madness", there's a scene where David Naughton's character takes a drink from a 16 oz. bottle of Dr. Pepper. I wonder how many people today would notice that reference?

[WhoresOfTijuana]

Chachi rules

[kunal724]

what a coincidence , one comment says sounds like a jingle from charlie harper and ashton kutcher also feels the same in the show .

[Bubbles2cute4u]

HEY i drink dr pepper! So i'm a pepper. but maybe i dont wanna be a pepper!!!!

[MrSamster911]

thumbs up if you thought he might turn into a werewolf.

[brendajoyceyy]

I use to love watching this commercial

[QuirkyGirl12345]

Drinking a Dr. Pepper while watching Dr. Pepper ads...... Life is simple....

[KwNJn1]

this commercial is very effective.. Thumbs up if you want a Dr. Pepper

[Gnillob802]

This series of commercials were the most popular ads on TV at the time, so popular that it led to a film contract for David Naughton. His first film, MIDNIGHT MADNESS co-starring Michael J. Fox, even had a Dr. Pepper inside joke in the film which easily was the biggest laugh.

[bkkrantz]

The 18 dislikes are pepsi lovers

[meganlovespenguins24]

i sing this everyday

[TheBrutiss]

He was suppose to turn into a werewolf..what happened ?

[deathlyreaper996]

Walmart Dr.thunder for life :D even though I really kinda hate soda and drink water more

[jamesmcashan1]

in the 1970s, some people tried to make us say "gay" instead of "homosexual" or "queer". i am not a "pepper". i tried dope (no injections). i watched pep rally people turn to poop, mostly on the most dangerous drug alchohol. i got away from peppers. in the book "1984", me droog "Alex" mentions homosexual rapists "reeking of meth". it was common in 1950s England for "peppers" to molest, rob, and bugger. they have peckered their way into government. no more. - james mcashan for the US Senate

[StormriftonROBLOX]

Be a pepper! DRINK DOCTOR PEPPER!

[jeremyandbabygirl201]

i had no idea david naughton did so many dr pepper commercials

[Kevinsstuffful]

[KoolJohnnyV78]

[roygullem]

[MrAmerica117]

sounds like a jingle from Charlie Harper

[eleanori12cac]

@MrAmerica117 lol

[heavyindie]

Bring it back to Federation, pleeaase! =)

[eracism09]

Too bad people don't get that excited over soda anymore....

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau This is why you'll never get laid. I'm 14 btw. Oh, and says the drunk dumb ass who's in his 40's and talking to a kid this way? LOL. Gtfo the internet bitch. No one likes idiots like you. Oh, your moms calling you. Go get her boy! P.S Fail joke at first sentence. Haha. Nice try. Trying to backfire me with my own shit? Bitch please. Try harder then that.

[enzsomomo]

Love this ad! Oh, yeah, and that's the guy from "American Werewolf in London"!

[kookie965874]

Thank you for the top comments actual being about the commercial!

[CrackThoseClaws]

I like Dr. Pepper, but this commercial is awful. Fuck off.

[Cycat1]

You just gotta smile when you watch this.

[doglover3415]

now the pickers tv show copied this video

[clintonearlwalker]

@doglover3415 Yes they did, I seen that.

[wolf25705]

i'm not a pepper.trust me.i'm a doctor.

[tomperanteau]

@wolf25705 At age 19 I doubt that you are anything anyone would care about.

[AIOvideos]

why doesnt this happen when i drink dr pepper?

[eleanori12cac]

thumbs up if your a pepper!!

[MrGoldenseal75]

He's :"Makin It"

[GreenLantern481]

Ah pear pressure a marketing technique dating back to the Ming Dynasty.

[holmsatlarge]

David Naughton"An American Werewolf in London"!

[thrillscience]

Time is cruel! Do a google and look at a current photo of David Naughton

[Multinationable]

I'm a pepper! :D

[mr13579100]

in the "im a picker" one i mentioned on making this into a Furry song!! IM A PEPPER TOO!!!!!!

[dakert40]

This is still the greatest ad!!

[younghoss]

Made in the disco days, and he sure is dressed for it, with open vest and khaki baggies. Actor David Naughten singing, who had a brief disco hit in '79 with a song called "Makin' it", theme song to his brief tv series. He's prob best known for the movie "An American Werewolf in London", but was also in "My Sister Sam tv show in mid-80's.

[MissRandomIsRandom]

I love the spoof of this that Eugene Levy did on SCTV...about his doctor. Dancing people with casts and crutches were everywhere! XD

[momfat1]

Is being a "pepper" like being a ginger?

[thebleedingjeans]

I think they all did cocaine right before they shot this commercial. They were way to excited about some soda, especially #7 there.

[igottwopeepees]

I have the T-shirt for this and had to finally watch it because everyone keeps telling me I look like this guy when I have it on.

[puppydogeyes96]

Would you want to be a pepper too? reminds me of Short Circuit and the poster ad for Dr Pepper

[MissAndreas356]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahhahaha

[Smardaz]

is it just me or does that guy have a huge unit?

[tomperanteau]

@Smardaz It's just you. You're a faggot.

[CletusInebrious]

Um, if you drank Dr. Peper you were part of an original crows, but the commercial begs everyone to drink Dr. Pepper, so now you're not so original. What a paradozx

[supermandisco]

What a Naughton surprise!

[502thevicks]

ima Pepper. ahahaha

[naturalpro2003]

@JourniHeart23 The show was called "Makin' It". The same title as the cheesy, but enjoyable disco song. Is that what you were referring to?

[eyem4freedom]

okay. I'm old... I used to sing this when I was little. Don't remember the commercial tho

[BBQFanNo1]

Sex,Coca Cola, and Dr Pepper---An All Time Pleasure Classic

[BBQFanNo1]

Good Old Dr Pepper out of those Soda Machines sure helped the thirst at those Interstate Highway Gas Station Restaurant Truck Stops during the 1970s.

[BBQFanNo1]

Hahahaha. I remember this

[RHernies70]

now i have a hankering for a dr. pepper.

[zazfilm]

i loved this guy in Midnight Madness

[MrJocko1991]

i am a pepper to

[tomessedup]

i thought nick jonas hated things of value

[RebirthScape]

Wait so...Pepper? If there was a way to drink pepper..WTF I'm FUCKED UP. There's different kinds of Pepper, hot one...That's one I drank. #FAIL

[tomperanteau]

@RebirthScape Yes, you are fucked up. You are a moron that commented on something that you know nothing of. You are truly a moron.

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau Bitch please. =) don't start kiddo.

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau Oh sorry, you're not a kiddo. You're one fucked up drunk bitch. Mexican.

[tomperanteau]

@RebirthScape Drunk? Mexican? Try again, moron. I'm neither drunk nor am I Mexican.  Being a small child like you are, what 15, I guess you wouldn't know the difference between people. Does your mommy know you are a filthy little boy??

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau From your first words, you know yourself well. Does your mommy know your a Drunk mexican? Oh right, you don't have a mom. It's OK. :)

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau Oh right, have you seen your picture on youtube? You look like a loner. Those floppy balls can't get you chicks? Haha.

[tomperanteau]

@RebirthScape Um, "rebirth" is it, afterbirth perhaps? Perhaps if you learn to master English, you might be able to communicate. Until then I suggest that you have someone proofread your posts. You make no sense.

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau Your life, makes no sense. End of story. Case closed. Smd. Gtfo. :)

[tomperanteau]

@RebirthScape Afterbirth is a small child that borrows his parents' computer so he can play in the basement.

Such a sad situation for a small child. Perhaps you need to see a counselor. Maybe your school has someone you could see to help you through your hard times. Are your parents abusive? Is that it? Perhaps all the bigger boys in school make fun of you?

Go get some help from somewhere. You really need it.

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau Lol ok. Says the 32 year old man in his moms basement. I'm done with immature idiots like you. =) I know a psychologist you can see. Dial 911. and then ask for Animal control.

[tomperanteau]

@RebirthScape You know a psychologist that you can see? I am happy for you, and I know that you really need to see one. No, really, it is GREAT that you are going to get help.

Get back to the adults here after you get help for your problems. And for God's sake, you are 15. Get out of that back bedroom and get some fresh air! Your mother is worried about you!

[RebirthScape]

@tomperanteau This is why you'll never get laid. I'm 14 btw. Oh, and says the drunk dumb ass who's in his 40's and talking to a kid this way? LOL. Gtfo the internet bitch. No one likes idiots like you. Oh, your moms calling you. Go get her boy! P.S Fail joke at first sentence. Haha. Nice try. Trying to backfire me with my own shit? Bitch please. Try harder then that.

[shickenwang]

i wish this guy would come singing down my street

[Tawroset]

@shickenwang LOL--so do I!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Sure, just let me buy the damn bottles.

[stuvo1977]

The year I was born. What a catchey commercial!! Who will ever forget the first time they had Dr. Pepper.

[maybenotme1994]

So... if i drink dr. pepper, I'm original, but how can i be original if i got my inspiration from a tv commercial?

[tomperanteau]

@maybenotme1994 You would not have any idea, would you? Of course not. You are from Israel - the land of morons.

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

When I was a kid the local DP bottler had a promotion under the caps. Some caps had T-shirt, some socks, some iron on patch and some had money. My Grandpa had a store and the customers would throw the bottlecaps away in the parking lots most of the time. Us kids got them and racked up the shirts, socks and money. We went to the local bottler in a neigboring city about once a week and loaded up. Good memories and great times. Still drink the Diet Dr. Pepper.

[stucat06]

@JeffDavadPhotog He also went in the recording studio to sing Makin' It. a crappy disco song.

[tomperanteau]

@stucat06 WRONG. But then you knew that when you posted your stupid response.

[stucat06]

@tomperanteau Oh really? He didnt sing Makin it? I was reading your comments towards other people. What the hell is your problem TROLL? I made that comment after he was kidding around about turning into a werewolf. Again what is your problem Jackass?

[JeffDavadPhotog]

Sadly after drinking Dr. Pepper he went to England, got bitten by a werewolf, became a werewolf and then got shot in downtown London by the London Police and ended up in career obscurity.

[BenjaminGlatt]

@sunscape101 Because he's a fucking Pepper. Don't you GET IT?

[emily101777]

Why would you follow a guy you don't even know? xD

[SuperAwesomeChick6]

I have a red dr.pepper shirt that says "I'm a pepper" with the logo on it :)

[schock12]

One Beer a shot of amaretto is How you Drink a Dr Pepper

[thephysicwerewolf]

it's funny how this commercial got me addicted to dr pepper and not some comercial with a bikini babe or whatever

[testchimp23]

OMFG! This just took me back.

[teamausten]

I wish they still had commercials like these! I'm a pepper!!

[teamausten]

[tomperanteau]

@Vrishchii You're a filthy little piece of shit.

[kisatanjii]

....if i remember right....Dr. Pepper fired him for being in "An American Werewolf in London"

[bxxch10]

This commercial makes drinking Dr. Perrer seem sort of... cult-ish

[kieranktac]

PEPPER FTW

[meepymoof]

PEER PRESSURE!!!

[RandomShellAccount]

One thing I remember about the 70s and early 80s...everyone and their mother wore a "Jersey" type shirt with numbers on it.

[stebancarlos]

@RandomShellAccount

Yeah, some thing i remember of 70 and 80 is...wait, i only have 19, damn i miss

P.D. DONT thumb up, i dont wanna get high comment

[dutchman063]

Diet Dr. Pepper FTW!!

[alovelyjessture]

bahahaha THIS GUY...

[Nahyuun]

I SORT OF LOVE THIS SONG

[oakesy68]

look out kids hes gonna turn hairy and eat you

[Madnessonman]

Written by Barry Manilow?

[67nairb]

Dr. Pepper's chief headquarters is Waco, Texas and that's where it all started over 100 years ago long before the town became infamous with Branch Davidian Cult in 1993.

[67nairb]

I always hated Dr Pepper. What year was this commercial?

[GetOffTheFence]

I'm a THUNDER ! (Diet Dr. Thunder that is) - because A. The taste is nearly identical, and B. It's half the cost. :) But before Sam Walton ruined this country with his monopoly and ridiculously low prices, I was a PEPPER to the BONE !!!

[Dolmonate]

David Naughton had a cameo in "Psych" a year or more ago. It was a great episode too. Shawn had to solve murders for his client who believed he was a werewolf. David Naughton played the client's psychologist.

[doggy7741]

IM A PEPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sandtats]

@thezaylady I made my mom buy me Breck shampoo when I was about 10; thought by just washing my hair with it, it would come out looking like the Breck Girl's hair! lol

[67nairb]

@sandtats Jaclyn Smith appeared in Breck girl commercials in the 1970s before playing Kelly Garrett on CHARLIE'S ANGELS.

[plazmabolt105]

awesome

[MrDrNo1]

Dr. Pepper has been the only soda thats not so competitive they never put down Coke or Pepsi plus DP owns the best sodas Seven Up and A&W

[qualqui]

@MrDrNo1 Ya don't say,....no wonder i like A&W Root Beer,...too! = )

[GuitarPlaya2000]

I remember David Naugthon! Not only that he stared in the movie "American Werewolf in London", he also had a "one hit wonder" disco hit "Makin' It" on RSO records.

[tylerdurden1971]

American Wherewolf On Dr.Pepper

[saltbunny1]

[beeb1421]

David Naughton voiced over by jake holmes.

[nubetube765]

this is awesome

[Sabrina9596]

this is the best commercial ever, next to the tootsie pop one. i come on here everyday just to listen to itXD

[theeqanqstuhyani]

and now then have comercials of dr peppers dancing in aisles :p

[shaynereece]

13 people aren't peppers

[RexNinja500]

They need to bring this song back.

P.S. the "CougarLife" theme song is a clear rip-off of this song...

[wobbuffett101]

AWESOME and AWKWARD!!!!!.....

[virnman]

David Naughton had a hit in the late 70's called "Makin' It" and then they did a t.v. show based on the song....but sadly...it tanked:( I remember watching it though because it had the Dr. Pepper guy in it.

[Xervosh23]

I hear the guy in that vest got torn apart by wild dogs.

[keys201]

I love this song and video it is awesome and really cool thanks...!!!

[GardeBlaze]

Back then everyone was a Pepper, now everyone is a Doctor.

[GaxAngel]

0:31 Gateway to hell opening up in the top right corner.

[clintonearlwalker]

@GaxAngel If you are talking about that little round circle that appears on the film, that is called a "cue mark", I used to put them on film. I worked in a drive-in that had 2 projectors, a movie would be on about 6 reels of film. I put reel 1 on one projector, and reel 2 on the other projector. When reel 1 ran out I switched to reel 2, at first set of cue marks I started the head on projector 2, at the second set, I switched projectors, "changeover". Ususally there was on "hell".

[grizzly977]

OMG !! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIS BULGE !!!

[Lu70sChild80sFan]

@grizzly977

Jeesh, you're not kidding lol...Back in '77 when this came out & I was 5, you don't look at those things, but add 34 years & HAAAH...It's a wwwwhole different story ;)

[CosySister]

LOL! I´m a pepper!

[carlosgranados911]

he looks like a gay version of mitchel musso

[RebelSpiritof77]

In high school every Spring, we used to mix up a big 55 gallon plastic drum with H.P. & Everclear and then serve to our classmates at the school dance. A sure way to get alcohol poisoning if you drank enough!

[mrmoofle]

I think Barry Manilow borrowed a page from the Nazi Party Handbook to come up with this ad campaign. Thank God the Peppers never got organized enough to invade Poland.

[JEEminn3000]

Should he be turnin into a werewolf right now?

[bluenotejazz]

The World Before 9-11 :-(

[BernardProfitendieu]

@bluenotejazz what the hell does this have to do with 9/11 ?!?

[TheGoodeProject]

Look! He's the Pied Piper.

I'd follow him anywhere.

[califgirl11]

One of my favorite childhhod memories.

[shmuli9]

David Naughton also starred in the short-lived series "Makin' It", the theme of which was a Top 5 record, and also in "My Sister Sam".

[strayangst]

it's trey parker!!

[Replayability]

I used to think he looked happy in this commercial, but now it looks like he's pissed off and trying to hide it.

[TheParisianofChicago]

There's nothing original about Dr. Pepper.

[Darkesthorseradio]

@TheParisianofChicago

Other than the taste

[jonvincent12]

I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, we're a pepper. Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too? Be a pepper. Drink Dr. Pepper.

[MegaRexgirl]

this is sooo old and soo cool i wish thiese days are the same as back then

[AnXtheist]

Jesus, I remember seeing this commercial when it was on the air!

[paktype]

This was when commercials had real production values, not like today.

[itsallaboutroy]

Check out my website!! I have lots of awesome autographs!!

[buffaloborn71]

WOW ! FLASHBACK !

[MovieTech]

@doobie4416 As a producer or arranger, yes. This one was written by Randy Newman and Jake Holmes.

[MovieTech]

@elvis3700 No, Randy Newman and Jake Holmes did.

[MovieTech]

@ShortStuff1729 Barry did not have anything to do with the writing of this one, he may have produced or arranged it however. You are correct that Randy and Jake wrote it tho.

[garymuzik]

I miss jingles. No commercials are either instrumental, original pop songs or covers of pop songs. Barry Mannilow wrote this and many other jingles from the 70's.

[MovieTech]

@garymuzik 'Be A Pepper' is actually written by Randy Newman and Jake Holmes. Listen to it again, it has a Randy Newman sound to it.

[garymuzik]

@MovieTech Yeah, it does sound like his stuff. He must have done another jingle for Dr. Pepper because I have heard him sing one.

[uhhuhhhh]

At my P.E. my coach knows I love oldies and he always sings this for me :)

[CarlFatGuy]

man his dr. pepper must be flat by now
