I used to love this commercial as a kid. My sister and I would jump up and dance every time it came on. To this day it 's my favorite beverage and that song still stirs in my head when I see a Dr. Pepper bottle, so kudos to the Ad Men that came up with that.
Wow, filming in all those cities, original music, commercials sure took a lot more effort to make back then, compared to today when most look like nothing more than powerpoint presentations.
This is my alltime favorite commercial. And song. Me and my friend have had it memorized for like 5 years and we'll often randomly start singing it and try to get crowds involved like this guy does. It totally never works, but it's kinda funnier that way. =p
I remember this commercial being on. I always thought it was stupid. The guy was kinda cute thought. I never used to like Dr Pepper back then...now I love it. Weird.
I still have an old Wizard of Id comic taped into one of my old journals where a downtrodden husk of a man is lying face down at the gates of the castle, desperately trying to communicate. The king says to his guard, "Go and see what the poor devil is saying.'" The guard goes up to the man, listens as he barely rasps something out, and returns to the king. The king says, "Well?", and the guard reports, "I'm a pepper, you're a pepper..." Cracked me up royally at the time, had to save it.
Fear GOD who hath power to cast you into HELL(Luke 12:5)! Fear God and depart from evil(Proverbs 3:7)! God is ANGRY with the wicked everyday(Psalm 7:11)! Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, there is NO OTHER WAY to be saved(John 14:6)! For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved(John 3:17)! TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT 2 THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST NOW! DON'T BOAST OF HAVING TOMORROW! Proverbs 27:1
If you replace the word "Pepper" with "Fascist" you get the true meaning and what was actually intended in this commercial. I believe this was the work of the Christian Right in those days. No, for real...Honest!!
I remember there was one where a Looney Tune Character came on at the end. I love these old school commercials. I also miss Dr. Pepper in the glass bottle.
Reminds me of high school in the early 80's. Does anyone remember the yellow Dr. Pepper paper bookcovers they used to give us in Los Angeles Unified Schools?
I searched for this on YT and I found a few others... I never knew there was more than one! This is the one I'm used to and always remember. I'm a Pepper!
DId they get rid of Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper? It tasted just like Mr. Pibb which I love too (slightly different than original Dr. Pepper). Nowadays they're promoting Cherry Dr. Pepper (no vanilla). Hmmm...
of course as a child, you changed the lyrics. i smoke marjuana & i'm proud. i used to have an original cloud. but now you look around these days. their seems to be a marjuana craze. i'm a pothead, you're a pothead, she's a pothead, we're a pothead. wouldn't you like to be a pothead too? if you smoke marjuana, you're a pothead too. be a pothead, smoke marjuana. be a pothead, smoke....
I read alot of the comments about this video and think they should redo this one again and use David Naughton today. He's still good looking and it would be a huge hit! Did you know he lost this gig because of his frontal nude scene in "An American Werewolf in London"?
One of the last feel good commercials! All you see now are drugs to make you less depressed, help with your disease or who to sue next! Those were the days my friends! :-)
I am a pepper too, too bad it's popularity has declined over the ages, especially in certain parts of the country, where all people drink is Pepsi and Coke they both taste like dog piss, I can't have any other soda besides the Doctor. People complain that DP is too sweet, well I tell them they need to get better taste buds, cuz us DP lovers have unique taste. BTW how sweet is it that our favorite drink has the same initials as double penetration. LOL
I'm pretty sure he huffed a couple of "peppers" before doing the commercial.
