Is Dr Larry Sweet an actor? Or is he as they say, a real doctor?

[80sCommercialVault]

@srkh28 If you search "Dr. Larry Sweet" on google, the fourth result is for a Dr. Lawrence D Sweet, MD, who practices neonatal-perinatal medicine at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. Almost certainly the same guy.

Most testimonials in commercials come from paid actors, but when they list credentials like "Pediatrician"...they're probably not lying.

those sliders remind me of that sport where one guy threw a thing that looked like that and the other pushed a broom in front of it. Anyone know what im talking about?

Wait...So your saying that Donald duck doesn't drive a car,but a fucking train?!

That's hardcore,man.

There's an awesome Donald Duck/Chip 'n Dale cartoon called "Out of Scale" that features Donald's large-scale model railroad.  The happy meal toy was likely based partially on that.

80's Commercials on KTVU? Man, you're almost reducing me to tears...

[MattTheSaiyan]

That "Jim Rogers: People's Lawyer" commercial was dull until that phone number came up ("that's 6 fours, and then a one"). So awesome it could become self-aware. Also, Chef Boyardee was a real person, actual name Ettore Boiardi (1897–1985).
