norelco santa

[Zzyyxxyyxx]

Who needs reindeer when you've got a Norelco! Rudolph the Norelco shaver...Had a very shiny blades...and if you ever used it...You would get a real close shave...

[udermen]

Good

[nickimcc7]

Wow! I thought I was the only one that remembered this commercial! I always wondered if I would ever see it again. I remember all of us kids (7) sitting on the floor so excited watching Rudolph and seeing this commercial. I still watch Rudolph every year. I miss those simpler times, but have great Christmas' now too.

[MsMuffythecat]

This one was shown as an an during Rudolph in the 60`s.

[jaconguy]

Me too.. I remember this commercial. They updated it a little over the years but it was the same. Where are the commercials that shape our children's lives? I don't see them o TV. Are they there?

[tyciol]

I wanted to see a shaven santa

[johndog1957]

Yes, that is indeed his unmistakable voice!

[oldshowfanatic77]

Sounds like Peter Thomas doing the voice over.

[LadyDJinOKC]

I was just telling someone about this the other day... I remember it from when I was a little girl, maybe 5 or 6 years old. Feeling rather nostalgic today...

[ModGirl1967]

Noelco! ♥

[brendafohio]

It just was not Christmas until I saw this! Oh and Rudolph the red nosed reindeer!

[giraffevlogger]

it was always shown with 'rudolph the red nosed reindeer'

[RetroCaptain]

Good Day,

I have bot seen the ad before, (but it's cute). It did not play in Canada that I know of..

I do know those shavers WELL, as I'm an ex-tech for these things. We did warranty work for them. I personally own a few of these, and still shave with them daily!

Old Norelco products were Philips (Holland) rebranded for the U.S market.

In Canada we had Philips, and some imported Norelco shavers. Other Norelco items were available here in Canada..(blenders, mixers)

Thanks for posting eh!

[le238man]

I remember it well! I loved this commercial! It meant Christmas! Thanks for posting.

[1969pontiac1]

I remember this, and loved this ad. SIMPLE TIMES, OH HOW I miss them. Christmas was magical...I had the best Christmas each year, and I did not know we really did not have a lot of money, but we have a lot of love. Now we have a little more money and still have the love.. Money does not make you happy.

[mmangum4444]

that Santa looks kinda creepy....

[MadameLil]

@mmangum4444 Ahh, what's this thread without someone pronouncing this creepy? ** chuckle **

It's still a classic spot - I still find it adorable.

[mmangum4444]

@MadameLil

can't help it, it's the scared little kid in me... lol

[jimkelly49]

did that company go out of buz. i grew up with that company

[CoolConejo]

@jimkelly49 Norelco is one of the biggest, if not, The biggest, of shaving products and grooming products for men.

[gregorybrian]

Does anybody know who did the voice over for this? I think he's still doing it today! And his voice has hardly aged.

[ng07977]

cracked!

[abitesizedcow]

sammee

[sonar52001]

luved this comm. when i was little. meant christmas was on it's way.

[Jaimo1985]

To funny! When my brother and I were little, we would get all exicted when we would see this. It meant it was almost Christmas. We would wait for it every year!

[GuinevereJuliet]

It's marvelous to hear "Merry Christmas" rather than the insane, horrid, politically correct garbage, "Happy Holidays." This commercial, which I remember WELL, was when America was still America. Better days, absolutely.

[Latz51]

Agreed. Never felt safer or content

[daasb]

Please have a Merry Christmas but a terrible New Year and any and all of the other holidays around the same time as the winter solstice, the reason for the season, and all of the holidays around the same time.

[workensmart]

@ GuinevereJuliet. Man I can't agree with you more. Did you hear that some schools are teaching all the kids to say "happy winter"? what kind of bullshit is that?. These kids are going to grow up being such pussys when they get out into the real world.

[Syntox]

@GuinevereJuliet - 9/11 would never have happened if we hadn't taken the Christ out of Chris Cringle.

[etherealreality]

It wasn't Christmas until I saw the Norelco Santa on the razor.

ah sweet bliss. simple times.

[LadyDragonsblood]

@etherealreality ABSOLUTELY!!! I was so hoping I could find this and show my spouse (who is German) how my Christmas started when I was a kid!

As you say...it wasn't Christmas til this commercial came on!!!

[mmangum4444]

@etherealreality

so true...

[hezyel]

the ladys noelco look like birth control pills

[mcgeeless]

I just wrote that to my friends. Ironic. I wonder if that was a subconcious thing. It was the 1970s you know.

[paktype]

There was an updated version of this commercial in the '70s.

By the way - why does the "triple header with a cord" shaver only have two heads?

[Gunzee]

The audio is faster than the video, re-watch it and you'll notice that there is the triple header rechargable first and then the corded one.

[fromthesidelines]

The latest commercial I heard Peter Thomas in was those Burger King "GET ME A WHOPPER!" spots...

[roygreenatl]

This is definitely a later version of the commercial (the "even our name..." tag is a dead giveaway; puts it as late as early 80's)

[seamusdog420]

i remember this i too ran to the tv to watch...you knew christmas was near when this started airing each year

[peteypete1216]

i seem to remember a norelco santa a little diffrent than this one not sure if it was made in the late 60s or early seventies

[redrueda]

I can't believe this was found. Forget all the cute Snowmen & Elves, this guy was "groovy" when I was a kid. I used to run to the TV everytime I heard the music. Weird kid Huh?

[beenie3]

Notice they aren't afraid to say "Merry Christmas"!

[gdaddy73]

we were much smarter then!

[newhampshirevideo]

Remember this one so well. Too bad this film print pretty faded. Thanks for posting!

[JimR541]

The narrator is Peter Thomas who is now in his 80's. He is still working and can be heard on Forensic files.

[coralprincess25]

Thanks for posting. "Even our name says Merry Christmas". Charming commercial from the past.

[Rohmell]

Thanks for posting this.

[thoughtfoxe]

Not quite the one I remember, but close enough. Thanks for posting.
