Banquet Frozen Dinners Commercial

[DutchyVegas420]

LMFAOA FUNNY COMMERCIAL XDXDXDX ADS WERE BETTER BACK IN THE DAY HAHA XD

[AeronPeryton]

My brain is full of fuck...

[muppetmamma1970]

Why does this invoke desires to watch Dark Shadows?

[justaguy150]

Epic marketing

[Avatar610]

Who's the actress in this? She's great!

[freshair3451]

God help us!!!

[JohnFDoe]

Holy crap, the second announcer sounds like same guy who narrated the "Super Friends" cartoon.

[johnyzero2000]

Why don't they make commercials like this anymore!!!???? This makes me want to buy it!!!!

[pCriistopher]

At first I thought this was a soap opera parody...

[chuckcollins]

@pCriistopher It is quite possibly more likely at least partially a take-off on the overly dramatic movie, "THE OSCAR".

[SlumberCloud]

ohh thats the lady from "shock treatment" isnt it?

[Lillzbe]

Holy shit! That lady is crazy! I think she did the creepy laugh for that creepy doll commercial!! the only banquet meal i ever liked was the chicken fried chicken one

[boombud]

Isn't Stan riffing on the Valley of the Dolls, here? So I'd guess this is 1968. Nice piece from our Man Freburg!

[whoo689]

Banquet is such a shitty brand. I've had their chicken nuggets, and you pretty much have to DOUSE them in ketchup to actually enjoy em. I once made their "pizza and sausage" pasta with sauce, and it kinda sucked. I think I had macaroni or lasagna from them once, and that wasn't too impressive, either. God, the people who make that shit are either lazy or terrible cooks.

[SlumberCloud]

@whoo689 well, you are only paying..what..like a dollar for the meal?

[purpleravenstar]

I'll never look at the damn $1 Banquet dinner the same again...Truck driver food anyone?

[Nataloff]

I'll accept that.

[falantepelosmortos]

Also: "Marsha...."

[falantepelosmortos]

*Wikipedia*. Hunh. So he is.

[mediamadman747]

That's Giblet gravy AND sliced turkey.

[tomservo56954]

@mediamadman747 Called that because there is more gravy by weight than turkey.

[StormtrooperTK420]

Dude this is nothing short of awesome! Even Attack of the Show aired this.

[METALMAN4Wii]

This Scares Me.....!

[Ian16545]

Judging by the dual roles in here, Stan and William make a dynamic duo of announcers in their own right!

[tkhering]

The other announcer voice belongs to William Woodsen.

[lincoln7echo]

awesomeness!!!

[MedusaA]

This commercial was one of my favorites when I was a kid, and it holds up beautifully! So amazing and hilarious! Thanks so much for posting this!

[79dharv]

Who is this actress and why didn't she become queen of the universe?

[McAlisterMania]

youtube - Mcalistermania

Wet Dog - Crazy Times!!

[51362879]

My first wife used to call that 'supper'

[hkfan1980]

banquet dinners are nasty :( I found a roach in one and plastic in the other :( swasons is better <3

[UnoriginallyInclined]

This must have been from the 60's. tv was incredibly awesome in the 60's.

[activematrix]

this is AWESOME!!!!

[DarcyTV1]

"I just put it in the oven...and, by-and-by, it was done...and I had a delicious buffet suppah -- oh, yes I did!" Sounds quite a bit like Liz: "Suddenly---last summah!"

[wpl955g]

@DarcyTV1 "Suddenly Last Supper", surely?

[DarcyTV1]

@wpl955g now I'll always think that! :D

[BettinaBalser]

A year for this? Looks to be about 1967...? Thank you so much for posting this...it's ads like this that make me so crazy about vintage and retro!

[Sheri451]

We used to eat sliced turkey with gravy. But not the giblet kind. They were really good, but really high in the sodium content.

[journeylive]

man she needs to get bak on her Paxil.....omg.

[mmparker3]

OMG! I'm gagging and choking from laughter!! ROFLMAO!! I can't get enough of this! Why can't commercials be like this now? LOL

[000266617]

We don't need the lame SNL fake commericials. Stan Frieberg's real commerical's are funny and they aren't

[Chris22090]

@000266617 someone is mad......

[mca1218]

"...and little bitty giblets- DO YOU HEAR ME?!!"

After that, I pretty much lost all of my diet Coke.

[chrissyj84]

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY HOUSEWIFE!

[clinton984]

Banquet is great.

[ohyeah205]

VAMPIRE

[ArcanaLegacy]

[psylentday]

0:37 - "This bitch..."

[smd242]

Giblet gravy & Sliced turkey 2: Electric Bugaloo

[kokujin72]

aots ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[TurkishButcher]

AOTS ?

[Fernt]

Holy shit!

the first piece solid, indisputable piece of evidence that funny predates monty python!

[xdashlydia]

@Fernt - Stan Freberg did radio comedy before he did TVcommercials, so he predates Python by quite a bit. Similar, absurdist sensibilities though.

[Fernt]

@xdashlydia I've never heard of him. Looks like he was well ahead of his time.

[Fernt]

@barbarydoll heh... i know why you removed this

[Negima012]

AOTS!

[Scottydont66]

AOTS!!!

[aceholeas]

AOTS!!

[23DEATHNUMBER]

Attack of the show ftw

[heviwayte]

JUST saw this on AOTS........I lost intellegence in the process

[juavojuana]

I want what she's having!

[crashfan8]

G4TV

[TheGreenContort]

Glad to know I'm not the only one watching AOTS lol.

[joeydelac]

AOTS

[Phillogica1]

Someone's off their lithium.

[NinaQueenofSpades]

Best TV Ad EVARR! lol.

[nightfallcub]

this is AMAZING

[Freakinfail46]

Wow this is weird. lol

[shmoker2010]

I cannot stop watching this, and I LOL every damn time!!!

[passuoutnw]

Fucking brilliant!

[mariamedianet]

Banquet better get off their ass and hire this ad agency again! This spot rocks!

[falantepelosmortos]

@mariamedianet Dead, so kinda an issue.

[chuckcollins]

@falantepelosmortos While the ad agency may be gone, Stan Freberg is still alive and staying busy making new Looney Tunes fifty-four years after he started!

[AzureClarity]

Lol, that guy looks like he's thinking, 'WTF is she on? I'll take two of that shit.'

[dpohunter]

life before Prozac!

[LENTICULARPLASTIC]

"Ahahahaha...giblet graaaayveee, and sliiiced tuuurkeeeyyy!" -love it!

[LateralUS1381]

shit tastes like cafeteria food

cheap

but better than top ramen

[dannyboy860]

banquet has ALWAYS been the dog food of frozen dinners....

[Dmasterman]

it's alright

[dpohunter]

I remember seeing this on TV, it's just as funny today...always loved it! "...color by Paprika"... LMAO!!!!!

[madamerotten]

This is Freberg's best. I can watch the housewife's performance a dozen times at a sitting and not tire of it. The quality of the humor and satire far surpasses the nutritional value of the product.

[liarsclub75]

What in the sam hill?? I would not eat these TV dinners but the commercial was unique.

[fromthesidelines]

The other announcer was William Woodson, best known today for narrating the 1971-'74 opening title for "THE ODD COUPLE" {"Can two divorced men share an apartment, without driving each other crazy?"}.

[heine71]

William Woodson also was the narrator of the 1977-1986 Superfriends cartoons.

[ccmayo]

What year is this?

[heine71]

Circa 1968-1969?

[bandcouver]

Stan Freeberg was definitely a satirist. I could tell by the hilarious mood of this commercial that he hated commercials. So he had fun with it. The forced narration and the psychotic housewife made this one worth watching. Thank you Stan!

[bandcouver]

Most commercials today absolutely suck because they're just a bunch of hype.

I love the comedic, psychotic and forced nature of this one.

It goes far beyond the mere selling of the product. Perhaps too far. hahahahahahaha

[Caraccidential]

I love it

[jsoo67]

thats fucking great instant favorite
