Classic Comedy Week: TV Mascots & Small-Screen Commercial Icons (with JJ Bruno)

[00:00:30] So, tonight, hey, we're back. We're back. Wild wacky stuff tonight on the show.

[00:00:54] I'm going to be talking about these messages. On number one.

[00:01:01] Hello. Do you remember me?

[00:01:05] No.

[00:01:07] What were you expecting?

[00:01:11] Oh, God commercials, man. Oh, man.

[00:01:16] Too many names. So we'll try to make some wacky ones.

[00:01:22] I'm telling you, they keep fucking up the KFC, the Colonel one.

[00:01:27] Oh, well, yeah.

[00:01:28] There's one with Darrell Hannon and then they replaced it with like two other people within the same year.

[00:01:32] I'm like, who's the real spokesperson? Who's the real Colonel now?

[00:01:36] Well, the thing I always loved was when they had the original Colonel on and he was a grumpy old fuck.

[00:01:43] Right? No sense of humor.

[00:01:45] No sense of humor. No, no, no. I made this chick of myself. Okay. Stay away from it.

[00:01:51] You know, hits a guy, hits a kid in the hand with a, with this cane, you know?

[00:01:55] I mean, God, that guy was just such a yutz. But when they brought it back, it was John Goodman.

[00:02:04] If you remember that, John Goodman.

[00:02:06] Vaguely. I saw it. It was a minute.

[00:02:12] It was, yeah. Jim Gaffigan did it for a while.

[00:02:16] I know they, I know they brought other actors in to make them up like the Colonel.

[00:02:20] Who is your personal favorite?

[00:02:22] My personal favorite was Gaffigan. I thought Gaffigan was hilarious.

[00:02:27] The one I would have loved to have seen would be Pat Noswald.

[00:02:31] Oh, because he makes, he makes one of the KFC Bull. I would have loved to have seen him just advertise that.

[00:02:38] You know, that would have been great. And he, and he's just one of the few comedians who just seems to know how to just channel everything wrong with society and make fun of it.

[00:02:49] And then they self acknowledging his own problems and it's awesome. The self aware geek. That's why we like him.

[00:02:56] But yeah, I read, I just remember them doing like that whole commercial where they had different people dressed up as the Colonel.

[00:03:04] And it was like, even Billy Zane played him.

[00:03:07] Yeah.

[00:03:09] God.

[00:03:11] Yeah. Well, here's the, here's the funny thing though. When we talk about stars and commercials, it's either one of two things.

[00:03:18] Either they're on the way down or they just want to get, or they just want to get a name.

[00:03:23] They just want to get a name to advertise the product.

[00:03:26] Or they do it because they're bored like the Super Bowl ad with Betty White.

[00:03:30] Yeah, or they just do it because they're bored. Yeah. Like, like, I remember as a kid growing up.

[00:03:38] Who was it? Now this is, this is going to send weird but back in the 80s and the 90s, they would always have an athlete do something for like, like something like advertising.

[00:03:50] Like, I think they had Joe Montana do to enacting.

[00:03:54] Yes. Oh my God. For Jokes.

[00:03:56] Who I associated with for the longest time.

[00:03:59] Yeah.

[00:04:01] Or, or OJ doing Hertz Rentecker. That's the one I've always been kind of like going to myself. Hmm.

[00:04:11] What happened after that that he did, you know, because you'd be like, with Hertz, I can go anywhere in the country and get a car.

[00:04:20] And I'm like, yeah, OJ get a car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then like, you know, what happens happens and you're like, uh, we're not going to be seeing those ads anymore.

[00:04:31] Are we? No.

[00:04:34] But I remember like Hertz Rentecker, Hindu Hertz Rentecker, Nancy Walker doing bounty.

[00:04:42] Oh God, you're going way back.

[00:04:44] Oh yeah, I'm going, I go, I go that 70s route, you know.

[00:04:49] And I'm like, I'm going to pay back doing parquet commercials.

[00:04:53] Right before he hit it big with Alice.

[00:04:57] Oh God, I mean, I remember seeing a lot of commercials with a lot of famous people. Like they used to show this show and they'd be like, before they were famous they were doing commercials.

[00:05:07] There's one with, I think it's John Travolta doing band aid. Like I am stuck on band aids because band aids are stuck on me.

[00:05:18] And it's like, but it's true. I'm stuck on band aids because band aids are stuck on me, you know, and Terry Garry's in one.

[00:05:27] Yeah, so Terry Garry commercials all the, um, there are a faucet doing commercials, you know, Stacy, ten years before she was like Fergie, I think was the voice of one.

[00:05:40] Yeah.

[00:05:42] Who said it was it was Fergie from the black eyed peas.

[00:05:45] I think so back when she was stuff like Charlie Brown.

[00:05:48] Yeah, she was that well she was doing that and kids incorporated so she could branch out a little bit.

[00:05:56] The funny thing is when Jim first hit big, you know, Jim and the holograms that ball.

[00:06:02] Yeah, the girl who was in that ad went to went to school with me.

[00:06:07] No.

[00:06:08] Yeah. Yeah, Heather Sullivan.

[00:06:11] I said one night, one day we're in the, we're in the doctor's office. We're going to the dentist's office right.

[00:06:18] And I'm, you know, I'm about 1112 years old right now like sitting there and thumb through a magazine.

[00:06:23] She comes walking in with her mother.

[00:06:25] I think her father and my dad went to the same dentist as him.

[00:06:29] And I'm looking at her and I'm looking back and look at her.

[00:06:34] I'm like, you know, my 12 year old preteen, you know, adult pre hormone drop voice goes, excuse me.

[00:06:41] Um, you look really familiar to me.

[00:06:45] She goes, yeah, yeah, I'm like,

[00:06:48] I go, were you like in a commercial or something?

[00:06:51] She goes, yeah, I was in the gym commercial and I remember the commercial she's the one where the earrings.

[00:06:59] You know, it was like, you know, sparkled, you know, it was like to put the battery in the back and the battery of the years. The earrings would, you know, twinkle on and off.

[00:07:06] And oh, oh, okay. You know, like, well, you know, but yeah, I was, I went to high school with her, you know, so that was, that's my little claim to fame, so to speak.

[00:07:21] You know, hey, I know that person.

[00:07:25] You know what's weird too. You see some people, you know, the McLean Stevenson is right.

[00:07:30] I can relate from mash.

[00:07:34] Okay, I replay from mash.

[00:07:38] Oh geez. Okay.

[00:07:40] Yeah, the first four seasons of mash he's on it. He's Henry Blake.

[00:07:45] He was doing like, I think it was STP or some, some motor oil company or Shell or something like that. He was the guy doing the Shell commercials back then back in the 70s and the 60s.

[00:08:00] You know,

[00:08:03] Yeah, it's weird. Like Robert Blake, I remember doing

[00:08:07] STP commercials or shooting his wife.

[00:08:10] Yeah, STP or GUN which one do you think?

[00:08:15] He was doing STP ads. Robert Conrad did

[00:08:20] Ever Ready Batteries. He had a long, long shoulder off my battery. I dare you to.

[00:08:26] I dare you to.

[00:08:28] I dare you to. Years before Energizer Bunny and all that crap.

[00:08:31] Yeah. Yeah, it was always like, I just remember that.

[00:08:41] It's weird because like, my father used to say either they were on the way up or the way down like I said, but I always say nowadays when you see people hawk stuff.

[00:08:52] It's because they're given a lot of money.

[00:08:55] Yeah, a refusal.

[00:08:57] They're like, here, take this boatload of cash and advertise our product like Shaquille O'Neal.

[00:09:05] Now he's doing those general ads.

[00:09:09] Yeah.

[00:09:10] You want to, you go get the general for car insurance.

[00:09:15] You know, and he's got, he's like a part owner of Papa John's now.

[00:09:20] I would believe it. And yeah, it seems like everybody is just, that's where in between the small gigs.

[00:09:26] Like you do it for one day and it's a worthwhile investment because you get paid nonstop for the rest of the year.

[00:09:34] Yeah, yeah, I mean like Michael, I can remember the first time I really saw somebody hit it big advertising wise was Michael Jordan.

[00:09:53] Because he had Nike sneakers.

[00:09:59] He had, I don't remember Nike sneakers Gatorade McDonald's.

[00:10:06] I forgot what else he was doing at that time. Oh, Haynes underwear.

[00:10:10] Yes.

[00:10:12] I think he did that the one the longest but I could be wrong.

[00:10:16] It was, it was, yeah, I remember him doing the be like Mike and I was like, I can't be like Mike.

[00:10:23] I'm not six foot six and can dunk a basketball.

[00:10:27] Basketball.

[00:10:29] I'm five foot. I'm five foot 10 and I can't do crap.

[00:10:36] But commercials, I mean commercials, people talking stuff on commercials.

[00:10:42] We, you and I grew up in the age of the infomercial.

[00:10:46] Yes. And PSAs and what have you and yeah.

[00:10:51] So, like the PSAs like we always were like, it's kind of weird because we had PSAs we had like the Children's Aid Society.

[00:11:04] You know, what was this thing you know, they helped me with my homework when I'm down.

[00:11:11] I'm really glad they made the Children's Aid Society and like, you know, I was like, this never happens in my school.

[00:11:20] I wish they were that helpful.

[00:11:22] I wish they were that helpful teachers didn't want to do shit for us, you know, right?

[00:11:27] Shut up.

[00:11:29] Shut up. You don't know algebra. You're gonna fail and be a failure.

[00:11:32] Thank you, man.

[00:11:34] You know, but you know, and you remember, I don't know if you've ever seen this.

[00:11:40] It's a Jordash commercial with these little kids.

[00:11:45] They're teenagers like, you know, they're like middle school teenagers like, don't know any better.

[00:11:50] You've got the look that I want now.

[00:11:54] And it's like working.

[00:11:56] It's like, this would not fly today.

[00:12:00] No, you have, you have to look this up. You would literally.

[00:12:03] Way to specialize our kids, dude.

[00:12:06] Yeah, it's like all these kids are walking around in Jordash jeans, you know, going, you know, shaking their shaking their been your life.

[00:12:13] This is very uncomfortable to watch.

[00:12:17] You know, there was this thing on Netflix to get slightly on top of it called cuties. And it was instantly shun saying who are these people who made this show.

[00:12:26] Yeah.

[00:12:28] Back then, back then kids could sell a lot, you know, um, we were already making sure to downgrade their health so they would die at age 30 or 50.

[00:12:38] Yeah, yeah. You know, you get, you know, kids need to know that, you know, the stuff we show we show them and we need to have famous people shilling it for them, you know, um, like,

[00:12:52] like, you know, we had to die for your sake.

[00:12:56] Yeah, you know,

[00:12:58] Well, the PS when you're talking about PSAs, there's one PSA I always loved that stuck with me for the longest time.

[00:13:05] And that is your brother.

[00:13:10] Was this so this was on the downfall was this pre fame.

[00:13:14] This is after he died.

[00:13:17] Oh, okay.

[00:13:20] He was doing the king and I think he was doing on Broadway.

[00:13:25] And he started to get this cough.

[00:13:29] And they go, they go check him out.

[00:13:33] And he's got lung cancer.

[00:13:36] Right. So, so there's this PSA after he died, he made sure it was done. He said, ladies and gentlemen, the late yule brunner says, Hello.

[00:13:48] There is one thing.

[00:13:50] I can, I would tell you don't smoke.

[00:13:54] Please.

[00:13:56] For my sake, don't smoke and had like, you know, the date he was born and the date he died at the end of it.

[00:14:03] And I was like, who?

[00:14:06] Oh, you know, oh, I didn't I didn't smoke after that, you know, that's terrible.

[00:14:16] Damn.

[00:14:19] We had a lot of.

[00:14:21] Oh, it was like, I mean, you're talking about like Billy Mays and all that.

[00:14:25] So I remember like there was guys before those, you know, the shamwows and my pillow.

[00:14:30] Oh yeah, Max offer was it I think he did like a bunch of cult movies but he just always known as the Shamwile guy and throwing up in 04 I was sick to death of those because Billy Mays rest in peace.

[00:14:43] Yeah, was just kick ass. He just made you feel good and for the longest time I got mixed up with the tool time guy from home improvement and how ironic he's doing it.

[00:14:53] How did he die?

[00:14:55] How did he die?

[00:14:56] So Billy Mays passed away from like a drug overdose or something and that was one of those there's like we saw some pretty tasteless jokes but I was one of those is like that that dude lived pretty happily I never heard anything messed up about him like it was impossible to film this commercial is

[00:15:10] and is like he just had a lot of cocaine or some shit and he did not survive that last I'd be you know I'd be doing I'd be doing coke to if I was going to shoot but I'd be like okay let's film my hat you know let's film it to I got all his energy in.

[00:15:28] He was just too awesome.

[00:15:31] He died on a plane.

[00:15:33] He died on a plane.

[00:15:35] He died on a plane.

[00:15:37] I was at his private jet or was it a public airline.

[00:15:39] I don't know.

[00:15:40] That's crazy.

[00:15:42] I just heard he died on a plane that was it.

[00:15:45] Oh my God, you know, he's trying to do Elvis here.

[00:15:49] But the other but the other guy who took over form was like, you know, it was like he was on, like, you know, 15 cups of coffee.

[00:16:02] And I'm like, that wasn't enough to notice him.

[00:16:04] I'm like, I get it.

[00:16:05] I'm here for my coffee.

[00:16:07] Come on, my eyes are gonna pop out of my skull.

[00:16:10] You know, but I'll go back.

[00:16:14] I'll go back a little bit more.

[00:16:15] Do you remember?

[00:16:16] Do you remember that step thing with the space age pan?

[00:16:21] This little British guy would come out and be like, now listen, this is something we've been working on.

[00:16:25] You've got all these so we can have one pan for everything.

[00:16:29] And they did a goof on it on Mr. Show.

[00:16:32] Okay, I definitely mean this is probably amazing discoveries or something like that.

[00:16:37] And it was like, this guy who comes out and he's like, Hey, we've got this, you know, he comes out.

[00:16:41] He's just little like British Australian guy with a bow tie.

[00:16:45] And you know, now we've got all these pants here.

[00:16:47] But how would you like to have a pen that could simmer bike what your ass.

[00:16:52] I was like, I couldn't, you know, I was like, this doesn't seem right.

[00:16:57] You know, this is like, you know, my mother before they had chia pets and everything.

[00:17:02] Oh no, this was after chia pet.

[00:17:04] Oh, it was okay.

[00:17:06] Yeah.

[00:17:07] This was on on Saturday mornings after cartoons were off because I would watch cartoons.

[00:17:11] I put on Mr. Science Theater and then they would have like, like this, this commercial I tuned into it.

[00:17:16] I'd be like, Oh my God, this is so bad.

[00:17:18] This is so suffering bad.

[00:17:21] So did you see this before after the Mr. Show parody?

[00:17:26] This was after this was before the most this is after them.

[00:17:29] No, before the Mr. Show parody.

[00:17:31] Because if you got it, you knew what he was talking about, you know, he was this little Australian guy who's like, now listen, we've got all these pants here.

[00:17:40] We don't need them anymore.

[00:17:41] Here's a pen.

[00:17:42] You can do everything you can bite.

[00:17:44] You can fry.

[00:17:45] You can brisk.

[00:17:46] You can do it.

[00:17:47] It's in a miracle pen.

[00:17:48] In fact, if you touch it, you'll be able to walk on water.

[00:17:51] You know, it was like, I just wouldn't be like in the sky.

[00:17:54] It was like this annoying, you would like jump around and like, you know, now come over here and see what we've done.

[00:17:59] This is an ordinary pan here, making an omelette.

[00:18:02] Right?

[00:18:03] This omelette doesn't look good.

[00:18:04] But look with this miracle pan, you can make an omelette look like a restaurant omelette.

[00:18:09] Oh my God.

[00:18:11] You know, just make a fucking omelette and a pan.

[00:18:13] You schmuck.

[00:18:14] Don't burn the eggs, you know.

[00:18:16] Oh, you're egging them up, man.

[00:18:19] Egging them up.

[00:18:20] You know, well they used to have, they used to do a lot of that stuff like, you know, the dump pan.

[00:18:26] I don't want to hear the words dump and pan in the same sentence.

[00:18:29] Especially when you already got the, give me the big miracle pan.

[00:18:33] Yeah.

[00:18:34] Or the dump up to the dump, dump, dump.

[00:18:38] I mean, I swear like in the 90s it was like infomercials like Susan powder.

[00:18:43] Stop the insanity.

[00:18:45] What was the one, who's that one guy not Billy Banks, not the Tybo guy, the guy with the blonde hair.

[00:18:55] You had that, you had like that motorcycle thing.

[00:18:59] Oh God, blonde guy bicycle.

[00:19:02] ponytail.

[00:19:06] I'm trying to think his name.

[00:19:08] I saw him a couple of times bike.

[00:19:11] Well, Billy Banks was the guy who basically Tony little Tony little. Yes, Tony little.

[00:19:18] I remember, I remember Tony little and he had that exercise thing.

[00:19:24] He says, I used to weigh over 300 pounds.

[00:19:26] And then I realized, I didn't know.

[00:19:29] We'll just go outside and walk you schmuck, you know, it was like people.

[00:19:35] It was like people.

[00:19:36] Now I look at Peloton.

[00:19:38] With their ads and I'm like thinking somewhere Tony little is going.

[00:19:43] That's right.

[00:19:44] Real it in.

[00:19:45] Really baby.

[00:19:47] Come on.

[00:19:48] You know, but um, yeah, I mean, well first, we'll first you had Richard Simmons.

[00:19:54] Oh God. Yes.

[00:19:57] He made himself on his line.

[00:20:00] But Richard Simmons was like,

[00:20:02] Sam Kinnis needs to just rip him a new one.

[00:20:05] Yeah.

[00:20:06] Because Richard Simmons, you would say Richard Simmons isn't crying.

[00:20:12] He's laughing at these people.

[00:20:16] So like we started to eat a whole bucket of chicken.

[00:20:19] You know,

[00:20:21] but you I remember dealing meal being very big sweating to the oldies

[00:20:26] being very big.

[00:20:28] You know, you know, and it was always an address somewhere in New Jersey.

[00:20:35] Like there was this warehouse and you sent the check in.

[00:20:38] And you got deal, you got like dealing meal.

[00:20:41] You got sweating to the oldies. You got all this stuff.

[00:20:43] And it was like, it was like, okay.

[00:20:46] Okay.

[00:20:47] But it was always the same address in New Jersey.

[00:20:51] Either an angle would or rich, you know, some warehouse somewhere,

[00:20:54] you know,

[00:20:55] So.

[00:20:58] Something else.

[00:21:00] And he's still going, but yeah,

[00:21:04] I don't see him really do those late night info ads.

[00:21:06] No, he's not.

[00:21:07] He's not really exactly as he used to be from what I understand.

[00:21:10] He's not.

[00:21:11] Did he bot?

[00:21:13] Was it his company begin with,

[00:21:14] or did he just start investing in it and basically make it his brand?

[00:21:17] He started it.

[00:21:19] Okay.

[00:21:20] He started dealing meal.

[00:21:22] And he had a guy in there named Michael Hibronko.

[00:21:25] Who weighed like 500 pounds.

[00:21:28] And he lost all this weight.

[00:21:30] To deal with meal.

[00:21:31] He was one of those success stories, you know,

[00:21:33] he weighed anyway, like 175 pounds.

[00:21:36] And then later you find out he gained like double the weight

[00:21:40] back.

[00:21:41] Oh.

[00:21:43] And they had to break down his house to get him out of the house.

[00:21:46] Like they had to take a.

[00:21:47] Like something like cut down the side of, yeah, to get him out.

[00:21:50] You know, so.

[00:21:52] Um, you know, that, that was kind of like.

[00:21:55] That was kind of like the big drawback that.

[00:21:58] Richard Simmons had.

[00:21:59] But, um,

[00:22:01] I remember like a lot of like that stuff.

[00:22:03] You know, it was K tell.

[00:22:06] Tell.

[00:22:07] Oh,

[00:22:08] K tell presents, you know, K tell presents, you know,

[00:22:12] golden hits of the fifties.

[00:22:14] You know, it's 1975 and everybody's, you know,

[00:22:16] starting to get back to the nostalgia area.

[00:22:18] You know, it's like, yeah, there was by the original ours,

[00:22:21] the original hits, you know, 100, 100 solid gold hits on these

[00:22:24] records.

[00:22:25] And they'll be like, you know, you get two, you know,

[00:22:27] for, you know, for 1999, you get was 99 is like two

[00:22:30] records took a 70.

[00:22:32] And then they're like, oh, I'm going to get a.

[00:22:34] You know, for 1999 you get was 99 is like two records,

[00:22:37] two cassettes or two, you know,

[00:22:39] or two eight track tapes, you know.

[00:22:41] And if you wanted out, if you wanted out,

[00:22:44] you get this bonus of, of rare B sides, you know, oh my God.

[00:22:49] You look at K tell K tell was like, but they never,

[00:22:53] they only had one person advertising.

[00:22:55] One famous person, Miki Dolan's.

[00:22:58] Of the monkeys. Yeah.

[00:23:01] That dude of all people you're going to get.

[00:23:03] Well, he was.

[00:23:05] You know,

[00:23:06] he was, he was recognizable face still at that time, you know,

[00:23:09] um,

[00:23:10] But then like time life came along.

[00:23:15] Nice.

[00:23:16] All the thunder.

[00:23:17] They stole all that stuff.

[00:23:19] And I remember one time when they did the 60s,

[00:23:22] it was Davey Jones.

[00:23:24] And then they did, and then they had Peter Fonda on.

[00:23:28] Oh my God.

[00:23:29] Yeah. Yeah.

[00:23:30] I needed you to this.

[00:23:32] Peter Fonda.

[00:23:33] And then they did golden hits in the 70s.

[00:23:35] So that was Lauren Tweed.

[00:23:40] And then Rex Smith.

[00:23:42] And I'm like, where did they dig these people out of, you know?

[00:23:46] Well, do they dig these people out of, you know,

[00:23:50] I don't remember him.

[00:23:51] What was he famous for?

[00:23:53] Who was Rex Smith?

[00:23:55] Rex Smith.

[00:23:57] Yeah.

[00:23:58] He was, he was, he was a dancer.

[00:24:00] He was a singer.

[00:24:01] He was a dancer.

[00:24:02] He was a singer.

[00:24:03] He was an all around entertainment.

[00:24:05] Um, you know, but then they would have like,

[00:24:07] They'd have like people you never, like, you know,

[00:24:09] it would be like,

[00:24:10] Remember these songs from the 70s.

[00:24:13] The third stage of their career.

[00:24:15] And this is where they have.

[00:24:16] You're like, you're just thinking yourself.

[00:24:18] They're going to go.

[00:24:19] And then they would have,

[00:24:20] you know,

[00:24:21] I don't know if you've ever heard of it.

[00:24:23] But I think it's a great thing.

[00:24:24] I mean,

[00:24:25] I think it's a great thing.

[00:24:26] I mean,

[00:24:27] I think it's a great thing.

[00:24:28] I mean,

[00:24:29] I think it's a great thing.

[00:24:30] I mean,

[00:24:31] I think it's a great thing.

[00:24:32] I mean,

[00:24:33] you know,

[00:24:34] I think it's a great thing.

[00:24:36] You know,

[00:24:37] they're just thinking yourself if they're going to go.

[00:24:40] Don't, you know,

[00:24:41] well the 70s stuff sold like,

[00:24:43] like hotcakes.

[00:24:44] This was the 90s.

[00:24:45] And remember the whole 70s boom came back?

[00:24:47] You know,

[00:24:48] Like days that confused and all that stuff,

[00:24:50] fast.

[00:24:51] Everything,

[00:24:52] everything came back.

[00:24:53] Everything came back.

[00:24:54] And it was like.

[00:24:55] It was like, okay.

[00:24:57] You know,

[00:24:58] How about the 70s stuff?

[00:25:00] Who can we get?

[00:25:01] from the love boat. Oh really? Who Lauren? You know, we'll get Lauren Trees, Julie. Okay,

[00:25:05] we'll get Julie. She's the coke. No, she's not. Okay, we'll get her on there. And then

[00:25:09] they got Rex Smith and then they got like, I keep forgetting they got they got Lauren

[00:25:13] Trees, Rex Smith and somebody else. And it was like, it was like, oh my God, it

[00:25:20] looks like they dug like, I'm like, were you under a rock or something? You know,

[00:25:27] the thing that blows my mind is like, they showed these 70s like, you know, you

[00:25:32] would get the 70s hits and be like, now you can get the first one for free. But

[00:25:36] for the neck, you know, from five easy payments of $5.99 installment plan.

[00:25:40] Yeah, installment plan. I'm like, Oh, shit, here we go.

[00:25:43] We're getting it. We're getting it. You know.

[00:25:49] And no one's gonna buy it unless they are your completist fan. Like I just

[00:25:53] got to get this even though this is a sack of shit that my icon is selling

[00:25:57] me. I've got to get me you and a dog named Boo. And then I got to get, you

[00:26:01] know, Starbucks moonlight. And I got to get, you know, King harvest, you know,

[00:26:06] I got to go like, Oh, Jesus, my friend used to do it. He would buy like

[00:26:10] Timelife super hits in the 70s. And I'd be like, how many of these do you have?

[00:26:15] How many do you actually want?

[00:26:18] You already have this work. Yeah. But the way they sequenced it is

[00:26:21] amazing. I mean, it's just unbelievable. I'm like, but bread, you

[00:26:25] don't even like the band bread, you know? Oh my God.

[00:26:29] He thought they would be collectors items someday, which I'm sure they are.

[00:26:33] Yeah. But I don't know anybody who likes the band bread, except if they were

[00:26:37] like, coked up and had we're drinking wine, scriptures through the seven

[00:26:40] days. Listen to it just because they were there versus they actually liked

[00:26:43] it. If a picture paints a thousand, shut up.

[00:26:49] Oh, why? Like they did like they would do like, Davey Jones was hit to the

[00:26:55] British invasion. I remember that.

[00:26:59] Here fondue was sounds of the 60s. And it's like, it's Peter Fonda.

[00:27:04] It's James brother. It's Henry son. Great actor. You know, don't get me

[00:27:08] wrong. He probably got a paycheck and said here, do this. And he was

[00:27:13] like, okay, fine. You know, I go to my, you know, weed house that's in

[00:27:17] the middle of the forest where I don't have to pay property tax.

[00:27:20] No, he I don't think he had a weed house. I think he was he was living in a

[00:27:24] nice house like I know he smoked weed. I don't know if you know if he

[00:27:27] really did or not. But um, at least they didn't get like Dennis Hopper,

[00:27:31] you know, I can't see Dennis. I can never see Dennis Hopper hawking

[00:27:36] anything. Now you wouldn't be able to keep a straight face on his

[00:27:40] no commercial.

[00:27:42] Well, no, Dennis Hopper did do commercials for Nike. For Nike. He

[00:27:46] played a referee like a demented like he was his character in

[00:27:50] apocalypse now as a referee mixed in with Hoosiers or something.

[00:27:55] No, no, no, it was like his it was like his apocalypse now character.

[00:27:59] Oh really?

[00:28:00] He's like, he's like, you wouldn't believe what Barry Sanders did.

[00:28:03] You know, one time Barry had these two guys, you went, who's that

[00:28:07] way? Who's that way? I couldn't believe it. He had these Nike, you

[00:28:10] know, advertised shoe and I was like, I'm like, okay, Dennis, I

[00:28:16] love you. You're a great guy. You're a great actor, you know, but

[00:28:21] what is this?

[00:28:23] You know, oh man, you know, when you're talking when you're

[00:28:27] talking about people, you know, we were talking about icons

[00:28:31] and stuff like that, you know, advertising icons and stuff

[00:28:34] like that. We have to go back to the fifties.

[00:28:39] Have to.

[00:28:41] Because you had speedy the Alka-Seltzer kid, right?

[00:28:47] Right? It was a commercial, right? If you were looking up, they're

[00:28:50] still around.

[00:28:51] And Pepto-Bismol, you know,

[00:28:53] Pepto-Bismol.

[00:28:54] And you know, that reminds you.

[00:28:57] Cigarettes were tap dancing, you know, girls in these big

[00:29:00] cigarette cartons, you know, tap dancing, you know,

[00:29:04] tap dancing on a stage somewhere, you know.

[00:29:07] How about just the fields? How about lucky?

[00:29:12] Cigarette ads, they were like big too, you know.

[00:29:14] I remember, I remember them being around, you know.

[00:29:20] But when people started doing, when famous people started

[00:29:24] walking stuff, the one that comes to mind is,

[00:29:29] and this is, look up a guy named Stan Freeberg.

[00:29:38] Stan Freeberg was a comedian.

[00:29:41] He was also a comedy writer and was also director.

[00:29:44] He's one of the greatest comedic minds of all time.

[00:29:47] Okay?

[00:29:49] He did a thing for Geno's Pizza Rolls.

[00:29:52] Oh, God.

[00:29:53] Where it was, everything was, you know, the pizza roll,

[00:29:58] but it had a pizza roll and I think people just flashed it.

[00:30:01] And this guy comes out, he's just, he comes out and it's

[00:30:04] Territon cigarettes.

[00:30:06] And I was like, say, I'd like to have a word with you about

[00:30:08] this. And also there's a tap on the shoulder and the

[00:30:11] camera pans over and there's the Lone Ranger Clayton Moore

[00:30:17] with Jay Silverheels' Tonto.

[00:30:19] It's just, that's funny.

[00:30:21] I'd like to have a talk with you.

[00:30:23] He says, Pizza Roll, Kee-Masabi?

[00:30:25] Like he puts his hand up like no.

[00:30:26] And it's just, who was that masked man?

[00:30:29] You know, and it's like, you know, hi, oh, Silver.

[00:30:32] We'll return after these messages.

[00:30:37] Do you ever find yourself thinking about who would win

[00:30:39] a fight between Goku and Superman?

[00:30:41] Hi, I'm James Gavsian on the Who Would Win show.

[00:30:49] between characters from comics, movies and video games.

[00:30:52] We got a new show every week and almost always am I the

[00:30:55] winner?

[00:30:55] Not true, Ray.

[00:30:56] In the past, we've discussed such matches as Captain America

[00:31:00] versus Darth Vader, Solid Snake versus the Iron Giant,

[00:31:04] classic matchups like Robocop versus Terminator and even

[00:31:07] the Muppets versus Sesame Street.

[00:31:09] That one was crazy.

[00:31:11] So if you're a fan of geek culture and love a spirited

[00:32:06] Now back to the feature presentation.

[00:32:12] Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, Naruto, all things that we love,

[00:32:16] all manga that were originally published in the legendary

[00:32:18] magazine Weekly Shonen Jump.

[00:32:20] But not every series can run for 300 chapters and have a

[00:32:23] hit anime.

[00:32:24] This is David.

[00:32:24] This is Jordan.

[00:32:25] We're the hosts of Shonen Flop.

[00:32:27] Each episode we look at manga that ran and jumped that

[00:32:29] didn't quite make it.

[00:32:30] We discuss what it did wrong, what it did right, how

[00:32:33] the series could have turned itself around.

[00:32:34] And ultimately, was it a flop or not?

[00:32:38] Run all your favorite podcast apps and you can find

[00:32:40] us at shonenflop.com.

[00:32:41] Keep on flopping floppers.

[00:32:42] They did that on The Tonight Show and it got

[00:32:45] a standing ovation.

[00:32:47] I bet it did.

[00:32:49] Because you gotta realize back then commercials,

[00:32:52] when people, famous people were hawking stuff, it was

[00:32:55] never a sense of humor about it.

[00:32:58] You know, why do I use this?

[00:33:00] Because my family does.

[00:33:02] You know, it's like Ronald Reagan would do borax.

[00:33:06] Yeah.

[00:33:07] Yeah, I mean, you know, he got money for it, you know.

[00:33:13] People like my voice so I'm gonna just say it out.

[00:33:17] Charlton Heston for Cantel, you know.

[00:33:19] I'm Charlton Heston for Cantel.

[00:33:24] Boris Karloff doing Lee and parents A1 or Lee and

[00:33:28] parents Steaksauce.

[00:33:32] It was, I think it was A1.

[00:33:34] You can add A1 to anything you want.

[00:33:36] Soups, salads, steaks.

[00:33:38] He's like, he's supposed to be like this evil guy.

[00:33:40] He's like, no, no ego, no.

[00:33:42] The steak is too rare.

[00:33:44] Put it back in the broiler.

[00:33:45] I'll put some A1 on it, you know.

[00:33:47] So I don't look like Mr. Smith.

[00:33:50] Yeah.

[00:33:50] Well, no, it was, it was, it's worse.

[00:33:53] It's supposed to be my bad imitation of Boris Karloff.

[00:33:58] No, no, no, do that.

[00:34:00] They didn't put that in there, you know.

[00:34:05] What was it?

[00:34:09] We're on the right track here, right?

[00:34:10] With all this stuff.

[00:34:11] I'm not sure.

[00:34:11] Yeah, no, this is fine.

[00:34:13] This guy is who they hadn't

[00:34:16] had a commercial for the longest time.

[00:34:17] Buddy Hackett doing seal test.

[00:34:22] Buddy Hackett doing seal test.

[00:34:25] I remember that.

[00:34:27] Seal test ice cream.

[00:34:29] What did they play it on?

[00:34:31] It was on TV.

[00:34:33] He was like, I really love seal test.

[00:34:35] It's the best, you know.

[00:34:37] And he's like eating like a best camo pie or something like that.

[00:34:40] You know.

[00:34:41] Oh, it was just in the seal test factor was right by where I lived.

[00:34:45] So, you know, I always thought Buddy Hackett lived over here, you know.

[00:34:52] Trying to think who else.

[00:34:55] You know, have I seen that same as like back in the 80s?

[00:35:00] I think you said there was a shotgun.

[00:35:02] I mean, there is the this is more sevens, but Schoenckhauer did do

[00:35:05] a bunch of Japanese ads where he's advertising cereal or something weird.

[00:35:08] But yeah, Shatner, I'm sure did a bunch of them.

[00:35:11] Oh, Shatner was years before.

[00:35:16] You know, the price line insurance man.

[00:35:19] He did a thing for a supermarket in Canada.

[00:35:23] Right after start like right between Star Trek being canceled

[00:35:27] and Star Trek, the motion picture.

[00:35:29] And it's like, OK, Bill, you're getting money.

[00:35:34] You have, you know, he had to pay Alamone.

[00:35:37] But he was doing promise.

[00:35:39] Marjoram commercials.

[00:35:42] He actually said, oh, God, it's hilarious when you watch it.

[00:35:46] I remember all these old people, these old stars coming out

[00:35:50] doing like they're, you know, hawking their bits like Martha Ray for.

[00:35:55] For some denture cream or something like that.

[00:35:58] Oh, here's Martha Ray, the big mouth talking about, you know,

[00:36:01] Pollardette, Pollardette, June Allison for the pens.

[00:36:06] You know, oh, God, my mother would be like, great, I got his.

[00:36:12] Every time I look at a June Allison picture, I'm going to have to piss my pants.

[00:36:15] You know, you know, they would they would they would basically get people

[00:36:23] out of the, you know, out of the mothballs.

[00:36:27] To do stuff like that.

[00:36:28] Like, but in Japan, it's anybody and everybody.

[00:36:33] They get like they get they had.

[00:36:38] The loan.

[00:36:40] And the Arnold adds.

[00:36:41] We're good.

[00:36:42] Oh, I wouldn't be surprised.

[00:36:44] But the Arnold ones were great because they kept just it was during

[00:36:47] the time he was governor and Conan O'Brien's people kept coming across

[00:36:50] them and just kept sharing them on his show.

[00:36:54] Yeah, like that's it for today.

[00:36:56] And then looks around.

[00:36:57] Okay, we'll do one more.

[00:37:01] Um, I keep thinking Ringo started.

[00:37:08] Ringo started.

[00:37:09] Hot in Japan, man.

[00:37:11] Well, no, no, I'm talking here in the United States.

[00:37:14] Oh, Ringo did.

[00:37:16] Ringo did a wine cooler commercial.

[00:37:18] Oh my God.

[00:37:20] This was the time when he was just about to go into rehab.

[00:37:26] And I don't know if it was.

[00:37:31] Some wine cooler company and he went in, he did the ad and then

[00:37:36] like, they, they, I suppose like two weeks later, he was in Betty

[00:37:40] Ford drying out, you know, wow.

[00:37:44] Then he did a pizza ad with the monkeys.

[00:37:49] He did appear.

[00:37:50] It was cute.

[00:37:51] He's like, well, I talked to the other lads and they want to

[00:37:54] get together, but we don't know what to decide.

[00:37:56] Trust in a crust out and Davey Peter and Mickey come in and

[00:38:00] they're like eating the pizza with them.

[00:38:03] That's a cute commercial.

[00:38:04] But yeah, um, but Ringo started like a commercial for like these

[00:38:11] leisure suits.

[00:38:15] Oh yeah.

[00:38:15] Yeah.

[00:38:16] Yeah, you've got to look this, you got to look this stuff up

[00:38:19] man.

[00:38:19] It's like, you know, but I've found, I've found a lot of commercials

[00:38:25] where it's like, you know, you get people that were on TV at

[00:38:28] that time, like Lauren Green doing a Alpo.

[00:38:33] Well, Alpo, what was it?

[00:38:34] Is it Alpo?

[00:38:36] Like him and Ed McMahon doing like dog food commercials.

[00:38:40] And there's Lauren Green, you know, Ben Cartwright going,

[00:38:44] my dog likes what I give it.

[00:38:46] That's why I give it, you know, the book, you know,

[00:38:49] dog food and you know, it's got meat, meat byproducts.

[00:38:52] I don't know what meat byproducts are.

[00:38:54] I know what it right here.

[00:38:55] You know, I'm not getting it anyway.

[00:38:59] This big shut one sweater on and it's like, you know, his

[00:39:02] backyard, he's got a deck and everything and the dog comes

[00:39:04] up and he's like, that's why I gave him out.

[00:39:06] It was Alpo.

[00:39:08] And, you know, Ed McMahon used to do that too.

[00:39:12] He used to, they used to hawk.

[00:39:14] He used to hawk a lot of like stuff.

[00:39:15] He would hawk stuff on The Tonight Show too.

[00:39:19] Oh God.

[00:39:20] And there's a video of him and Carson, I think they must have

[00:39:25] been a little bit under the influence.

[00:39:30] People at Johnson & Johnson and it's, they come up with,

[00:39:35] they say something for this feminine, feminine deodorant

[00:39:39] spray or something like that.

[00:39:41] Carson just started saying this stuff and I'm literally

[00:39:43] happy.

[00:39:43] I'm like literally just like trying not to laugh, you know,

[00:39:47] because it's like, it's like the stuff Carson says you're

[00:39:49] like, whoa, you know, whoa.

[00:40:07] Well, you know, soup's good for you.

[00:40:09] It's good food.

[00:40:10] It's a warm job.

[00:40:11] Around the same time, what's his name?

[00:40:15] Robert Lodz just doing the minute maid.

[00:40:18] Well, no, Lodz you did it afterwards.

[00:40:21] Okay.

[00:40:49] Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.

[00:40:55] You know who was a big time hawker?

[00:40:59] Orson Wells.

[00:41:02] You told me you were going to tell me about this ad he did.

[00:41:06] There's an ad.

[00:41:08] He did.

[00:41:08] It's the action.

[00:41:09] I've heard the audio time and time again.

[00:41:12] He was doing he kind of, I think maybe the late seventies, early

[00:41:16] eighties.

[00:41:17] He's in a recording studio for some English frozen dinner.

[00:41:22] And he's he's doing the dramatic readovers is

[00:41:26] you know, we know a place in England where in how do

[00:41:32] you emphasize the word in before in July?

[00:41:37] But it's like it's like the most in anything.

[00:41:39] He's like, he's like, we know a place where in the American

[00:41:42] prairie where every year Charlie Briggs brings the most

[00:41:46] this is tripe fellas.

[00:41:47] I can't believe this.

[00:41:48] Like, you know, we know a place where John Schwen dishwork,

[00:41:53] you know, it's like, it's like just the worst, the worst

[00:41:57] thing I've ever heard in my life, but it's like it's him

[00:41:59] doing this commercial.

[00:42:01] And you could tell it's like they're trying.

[00:42:03] Here's a guy who wrote one of the directed and wrote one

[00:42:06] of the greatest movies all time.

[00:42:07] And he's doing frozen food commercials.

[00:42:10] Yeah, you know, not worthy of his talent and yet there he is.

[00:42:16] Oh yeah, they give him a bunch of money.

[00:42:17] He's like, OK, I'll make the next movie I want to make, you

[00:42:19] know, I can't get what I want.

[00:42:23] He was doing those Paul Basson commercials.

[00:42:27] And there's that one video of him being drunk, which is

[00:42:29] we don't place for the California champagne.

[00:42:35] Oh, you know, or some we need to just.

[00:42:39] Oh, it's so bad.

[00:42:45] It's so bad that they kept it in just oblivious.

[00:42:49] Oh, it wasn't even oblivious.

[00:42:51] It was just like the outtake.

[00:42:54] It was obvious.

[00:42:55] What?

[00:42:56] Yeah, I mean, he's three.

[00:42:58] And then he does a perv.

[00:42:59] He's OK, well, soon he'd one more.

[00:43:01] And one more.

[00:43:03] Yes. OK.

[00:43:05] Like he must have been doing.

[00:43:06] He must have been drinking, but there's there's there was.

[00:43:13] A game called the Dark Tower.

[00:43:16] That he was he was just like, I like to play this with my grandchildren.

[00:43:20] This game by Bill Dunbrand, they call the Dark Tower.

[00:43:23] It's amazing.

[00:43:25] And then he was doing and then Vincent Price was doing Hangman.

[00:43:29] Oh, God. He was.

[00:43:31] But it's funny to watch.

[00:43:33] I bet you.

[00:43:34] Vincent Price had a comedic side to him, you know, he's a funny guy.

[00:43:38] But he's a he's one of the best.

[00:43:40] Hey, I can't say anything about this.

[00:43:42] He's done some when he got older, he started to do more funny stuff,

[00:43:45] you know, but the hanging commercial was great.

[00:43:48] You know, I used to be afraid of Vincent Price.

[00:43:51] He had that aura to him or like what's he going to do?

[00:43:55] Oh, well, you know, he looked evil.

[00:43:57] But then like, you know, later I was watching all these movies that he did.

[00:43:59] And I was laughing, you know, like, like the Abominable Doctor Fibes.

[00:44:04] I love that movie.

[00:44:05] Yes. Or theater.

[00:44:08] But when he did the when he did the.

[00:44:12] When he did the commercial for Hangman, I was like,

[00:44:14] this is really funny.

[00:44:16] You know, he goes because they were closed.

[00:44:18] We're all out of money, you know, just that kind of stuff, you know,

[00:44:21] you know, next bank across the street, you know,

[00:44:22] he's just being really snooty to all the customers.

[00:44:28] You know, I remember, you know, Smith Barney with John Houseman.

[00:44:32] Oh God.

[00:44:34] Smith body, we know what we do with your money.

[00:44:37] We take it and then we earn more of it.

[00:44:40] And then he died and they had Leo McCurran come in to do it.

[00:44:43] Chase.

[00:44:45] And Leo McCurran was like, Smith's body.

[00:44:48] I'm pissed off about it.

[00:44:50] You know, Leo McCurran was one of those guys who was like,

[00:44:52] he always pissed off, you know, he just couldn't help it.

[00:44:55] He just had that aura and that aura about him.

[00:44:58] And then there was you mentioned Barney.

[00:45:01] What about Barney fight himself?

[00:45:02] I think Don Knott's was in a few wacky ads where you're like, wait, what?

[00:45:07] Oh, yeah. Yeah, there was there was always thought I think Don

[00:45:09] Knott's did a commercial trying to think what it was.

[00:45:12] I swear. And I saw it replayed one time as like an anniversary of the product.

[00:45:18] Yeah, date.

[00:45:19] But they would get people to like Tony, like, like what was it?

[00:45:24] Don Adams doing Skittlepool.

[00:45:27] Oh, God.

[00:45:28] It was Don Adams, Leon Askin.

[00:45:31] And I forget who else was in it.

[00:45:33] Leon Askin played Colonel Buck Halter on Cogan's Heroes.

[00:45:37] So it's like a spy in it, right?

[00:45:41] Walt Licker at I keep forgetting.

[00:45:42] It was a malt liquor at the malt liquor ad.

[00:45:46] And Leon Askins and I'm like Colonel Buck Halter.

[00:45:50] Maxwell Smart.

[00:45:52] And I'm trying to see who the hell else is in it.

[00:45:54] And you're like, you're literally just like how when historically because you're

[00:45:57] like, they must have, you know, hey, it's a paycheck, you know?

[00:46:02] Irrevisible means corporations.

[00:46:04] They they got enough enough for the rest of their assembly line.

[00:46:08] Well, hey, I remember

[00:46:11] Billy Dee Williams doing Colt 45.

[00:46:13] Mm hmm.

[00:46:14] There's many who claim they know him from those alone.

[00:46:17] And I think he badmouthed them years later.

[00:46:20] It was like, oh, but Billy, you were who else would have done it justice?

[00:46:24] Well, he badmouthed it because it was supposed to be, you know,

[00:46:26] on the African community, he was he was basically he said it was

[00:46:30] perpetuating alcoholism, you know, which I can know.

[00:46:34] It was like, you know, I, you know, works every time.

[00:46:37] It's like, yeah, Billy, go back to playing land.

[00:46:40] Oh, you know.

[00:46:43] Oh, we're happy.

[00:46:45] You're happy you were in the last Star Wars movie, you know?

[00:46:50] But yeah, a lot of those, a lot of those, you know, like, like, well,

[00:46:52] the one guy we all know was Cosby.

[00:46:55] Oh, God.

[00:46:57] Doing Jell-Opps and doing Coke.

[00:47:02] And put a pretty pop with a roof.

[00:47:04] Oh, I'm not going to sleep.

[00:47:07] Yeah, bye.

[00:47:08] You like the Coca-Cola?

[00:47:10] Coca-Cola is good.

[00:47:11] You know, what I used to write my pictures.

[00:47:18] I put it, I put it, I got a Jell-Opps putting pop.

[00:47:21] And Jell-Opps put it.

[00:47:24] Roofies in the Jell-Opps putting.

[00:47:26] And that's ready.

[00:47:27] And then came your load.

[00:47:28] I had to put movies in the Jell-Opps putting, you know.

[00:47:31] Wow. That's a good impression.

[00:47:33] That's scary.

[00:47:37] Made new Coke, but now they got Coke classic.

[00:47:40] So now there's two Cokes.

[00:47:41] Which one did I put the roof in?

[00:47:43] I don't know.

[00:47:45] I don't know what I've been told, but Jell-Opps does it every time.

[00:47:53] And then Crystal doing Pepsi.

[00:47:55] Oh, who?

[00:47:57] Billy Crystal advertised for Pepsi.

[00:47:58] Billy Crystal.

[00:48:00] Wow.

[00:48:01] And if I saw it, it was like a best, funniest commercial, special, probably.

[00:48:08] And doing Pepsi.

[00:48:09] And he was, this was the height of Fernando when he was doing Fernando's hideaway.

[00:48:13] And you know, you look marvelous.

[00:48:15] He Pepsi changed their look.

[00:48:19] And you don't look marvelous.

[00:48:21] You know, um.

[00:48:24] Hey.

[00:48:26] Something wrong?

[00:48:27] OK.

[00:48:29] And these commercials are creeping them out.

[00:48:32] Yeah. But then there was then I mean, there's all these.

[00:48:36] All these commercials, like all these stars were doing commercials.

[00:48:39] And you have to realize, as I said, like, you know, there was like commercials where

[00:48:42] there's a commercial for a car from the late 1960s.

[00:48:48] And it's the chain gang is Broderick Crawford as the as the overseer.

[00:48:54] Leo Gorsi, Lon Cheney Jr.

[00:48:57] And I'm trying to think who the hell else is on it.

[00:49:00] And they just see the car and they think it's going to be a getaway car.

[00:49:04] And Crawford goes, you can keep looking, but you ain't going to get me.

[00:49:07] It was just like one of those things you have to watch.

[00:49:12] But yeah, you could tell it's like Leo Gorsi's last because he didn't look too good.

[00:49:15] You know, could have been worse.

[00:49:17] Could have done could have been the next Jared on Subway.

[00:49:19] Oh, oh, oh, there's a guy.

[00:49:22] I was bad.

[00:49:26] Yeah, that that was just, you know, what's you know, you're going to hate me for this.

[00:49:29] I used to actually I just couldn't help it.

[00:49:32] He just had a similar kind of face.

[00:49:34] I used to get a mix up with par Marcelle, the T-Mobile guy who later moved

[00:49:38] to Sprint before they merged.

[00:49:42] It's just funny how they played it up.

[00:49:44] You traitor.

[00:49:47] T-Mobile now. Oh, we're going, we're going to get we're going to get merged.

[00:49:52] Can't make fun of that anymore.

[00:49:53] And nowadays it's the Milena Vine Trump gal, the Russian Jewish gal.

[00:49:58] Community. Yeah.

[00:49:59] Yeah. But the thing I love is Jared from Subway.

[00:50:02] That was one of those things where Subway really didn't have

[00:50:11] a face to it.

[00:50:12] No, it was word of mouth kind of at that point.

[00:50:17] Yeah. And he came along and he was like, yeah, I lost like

[00:50:24] it was like 400 pounds or something like that.

[00:50:27] And you know, and I've got a girlfriend now and it was off

[00:50:31] the Subway, their sandwiches.

[00:50:33] And I picked, I would pick out the health.

[00:50:35] And then meanwhile a year later, he was arrested for having child porn.

[00:50:40] And you're like,

[00:50:44] gross, I ate a pedophile, lendoor spoon.

[00:50:49] I look safe because I'm not a pedophile like that other a-hole.

[00:50:52] You know,

[00:50:53] I'm

[00:50:56] another man we won't mention.

[00:50:59] Your name's not Jared, is it? Good.

[00:51:02] OK, no, no, no. Ask your parents, kids.

[00:51:05] Kids, before you go on a subway, remember, always have your idea on you

[00:51:09] so that way you know who's serving you. Oh.

[00:51:16] We when TV series went off the air.

[00:51:21] So no such thing.

[00:51:23] No, no, when TV series went off the air, they would get.

[00:51:27] OK, I'll give you a case in point. Eagle snacks, right?

[00:51:31] Yes. You remember them? Eagle snacks, right?

[00:51:34] I think so.

[00:51:34] They were and they were and hires their bushes way of trying to get into the snack food market.

[00:51:40] They had they had Tony Randall and a pre a post

[00:51:46] cancerous post cancer off

[00:51:51] Jack Klugman doing Eagle snacks, potato chips,

[00:51:57] the peanuts and they were great commercials because all Klugman did was just sit there

[00:52:02] and eyeball like, you know, see what he does with this peanut.

[00:52:05] He likes it doesn't he? You smile like Eagle snacks.

[00:52:08] That's what you know. So it was like, you know, Oscar and Felix reunited, right?

[00:52:12] Right. And then.

[00:52:16] IBM.

[00:52:18] Reunited the cast from MASH

[00:52:21] I definitely saw that one and IBM was just they always had it down.

[00:52:25] They're not as big now and I can't remember the last time I've seen as many ads

[00:52:28] of theirs, but yeah, they used to always their ads would be what you talked about

[00:52:34] every year, something so visually stunning or funny about them.

[00:52:39] They got the original cast of MASH back together.

[00:52:42] And the funny thing is you have David Ogden's

[00:52:45] Snithers and Larry Lindville in one commercial together.

[00:52:50] Because they were like, these people are recognizable.

[00:52:52] So then you got Jimmy Farr, you've got Harry Morgan, you got Alan Alda did one.

[00:52:56] You got Mike Farrell, I think did one.

[00:52:58] Wayne Rogers.

[00:53:00] You know, it was just fun to watch these ads, you know, but one time they when

[00:53:06] I don't know what computer company it was

[00:53:10] back in the 80s, they had Tony Randall team up with George the animal steal.

[00:53:15] And then another computer company had King Kong Bundy do the ad.

[00:53:21] He's like, yeah, with these computers, I could really take, you know, I could really

[00:53:24] know my matches, you know?

[00:53:26] So.

[00:53:28] That's what happened.

[00:53:29] You know, it was just it was just this big thing where people, you know, if

[00:53:33] it was a name brand or something like that, they would always.

[00:53:37] Put somebody to it and that the MASH IBM ads, I remember.

[00:53:41] And then I remember also, I just trail off the thought that the MASH IBM ads, I

[00:53:48] remember from the 80s.

[00:53:50] And they were they were great.

[00:53:52] They were great to watch because it was just, you know, it's just the guys from

[00:53:54] MASH, they were in an office, you know?

[00:53:58] But.

[00:54:00] There's a guy who passed away a couple of years ago, Chuck McCann.

[00:54:06] Chuck McCann.

[00:54:08] Chuck McCann.

[00:54:10] Him, this guy, Jim.

[00:54:14] McCann, I forgot his name.

[00:54:15] Jim McSumpter, rather, right?

[00:54:17] They dressed up as Laurel and Hardy.

[00:54:24] And they did wiper blade commercials.

[00:54:28] And I look for you right now.

[00:54:30] I thought Laurel and Hardy were alive when they did them because

[00:54:34] because he, the guy who was playing Oliver Hardy did Chuck McCann, did

[00:54:41] Oliver Hardy perfectly.

[00:54:43] You know, we need new wiper blades.

[00:54:45] Stanley, why didn't you get them?

[00:54:47] And the guy playing, you know, would go,

[00:54:52] we'll get the wiper blades before we get off the wrong road.

[00:54:55] You know, so they put the white blizz and then also you see them

[00:54:57] there on like a runway and a plane's coming towards them.

[00:55:00] You know, it was like they would do the old, you know, the old

[00:55:04] howl road stuff.

[00:55:06] So that, that, oh yeah, these, these are ads for my childhood growing up,

[00:55:11] you know?

[00:55:13] But and Chuck is just awesome.

[00:55:15] But yeah, Chuck McCann was just hilarious.

[00:55:19] You know, people were going to do the puppeteer because we're

[00:55:21] just so used to hearing his voice.

[00:55:24] Well, he did cartoon.

[00:55:25] He did cartoons.

[00:55:27] He did puppeteers.

[00:55:28] He had a show on channel 11 on WPIX here.

[00:55:34] And, you know, he had like that like that moony face we use.

[00:55:37] But there was stuff he did on his show that was like

[00:55:40] you'd be, you'd be watching it and you would literally just try

[00:55:43] hard not to wet yourself.

[00:55:44] That's how happy funny he was.

[00:55:45] It was like soupy sales.

[00:55:47] Soupy sales was, was, you know, kiddie humor, but adult humor too.

[00:55:53] You know?

[00:55:57] But yeah, we used to have those.

[00:55:59] That's what I miss.

[00:56:00] I missed that whole, that whole innocent era.

[00:56:03] You know?

[00:56:04] Now it's like, you know, commercials I see now it's like.

[00:56:10] Some of them are funny and others is like, we're already sick.

[00:56:13] I was just the minute they air.

[00:56:14] I mean, well.

[00:56:16] Case in point about something getting, getting so sick of the

[00:56:19] first time Sonic came around.

[00:56:22] Oh God.

[00:56:23] And they had those two guys in the car.

[00:56:25] And then the other gal saying, oh, try out Sonic, try out.

[00:56:30] Taco Cabana.

[00:56:31] This is like, it was the two guys in the car.

[00:56:35] Oh yeah.

[00:56:36] That.

[00:56:37] The first time those commercials came on, I was like, oh, okay,

[00:56:43] you know, it's kind of funny.

[00:56:44] Then about a year and a half later, I'm like, I'm going to

[00:56:47] shoot these fuckers.

[00:56:49] Right.

[00:56:50] Cause like, can you hear me now with the sprint?

[00:56:52] It was funny because we could all relate to it while the

[00:56:54] Sonic is just like, just give us a reason to come out and

[00:56:57] eat your food and be funny about it.

[00:56:59] Like, yeah.

[00:57:00] It's like, it's like the guy was sitting there and it was like, I

[00:57:02] always had the opinion, like the one guy in the passenger

[00:57:05] seat was a mental patient and the guy who was driving him

[00:57:09] was like his caretaker for the day.

[00:57:10] I go follow when I see him in other TV movies or.

[00:57:16] Yeah.

[00:57:17] Guest spots, but yes, I agree.

[00:57:19] The whole essence of the ad, like by the 20th time you're

[00:57:23] like, what won't you argue about?

[00:57:25] Just get your fucking food.

[00:57:27] Get your food and fucking eat you jerk off.

[00:57:30] You know, I got a great idea.

[00:57:32] Putting tots on a burger, burger tots.

[00:57:34] That'll work.

[00:57:35] Yeah, that'll work.

[00:57:36] You're like, oh God, please shoot me now.

[00:57:40] Please, please, you know.

[00:57:43] Can you believe flow is still going the progressive

[00:57:46] gal Stephanie Courtney?

[00:57:47] Oh God.

[00:57:48] Yeah, I thought she was pregnant.

[00:57:50] Yeah, I think so.

[00:57:51] And I think they worked that into some versions, but

[00:57:53] nowadays they'll have her play multiple people in one skid and

[00:57:56] your guest star and a bunch of different comedic shows.

[00:57:59] And I'm like, wow, that's flow.

[00:58:01] That's flow.

[00:58:02] Yeah.

[00:58:03] And you know, it gets me is that she's, you know, she,

[00:58:06] she's talented.

[00:58:07] And I think this is her bread and butter to be honest with you.

[00:58:10] Is she can't find time to.

[00:58:14] In between her busy schedule doing these ads, I guess,

[00:58:17] or she doesn't have to work. So, you know, it is what it is.

[00:58:21] I know for a while they had her and then they had some other

[00:58:24] people working with her.

[00:58:26] Yeah.

[00:58:28] And the.

[00:58:30] That was, I think they were just trying to like, you know,

[00:58:32] get other people into the.

[00:58:34] All these other directors who sometimes play jerks or

[00:58:37] comedic performers.

[00:58:38] Yeah.

[00:58:39] Where is your husband flow?

[00:58:41] Yeah, it's like, it's like that.

[00:58:43] But I know that there are some people who are like,

[00:58:45] yeah, it's like, it's like that. But I know she was pregnant.

[00:58:48] I know she was pregnant because I think we saw it.

[00:58:51] Yeah, we saw a baby bump.

[00:58:53] We saw a baby bump and we were like, we were like, okay,

[00:58:57] she's pregnant.

[00:58:58] And I know she's pregnant because I've seen,

[00:59:00] I can tell because they were filming her from certain angles

[00:59:02] and stuff like that.

[00:59:03] So that,

[00:59:04] that cracked me up. That kind of cracked me up.

[00:59:07] You know,

[00:59:08] and then she came back because the other guy,

[00:59:11] the thin guy was doing the ads too.

[00:59:14] I think so.

[00:59:15] And they got tired of him.

[00:59:17] Yeah,

[00:59:18] the blackness doing the,

[00:59:21] doing the honey nut Cheerios ad.

[00:59:24] How do I spell his name again?

[00:59:25] It's a.

[00:59:30] How do I spell his name?

[00:59:32] I don't know.

[00:59:33] I forgot.

[00:59:34] Sorry.

[00:59:35] But he was doing the honey nut Cheerios ad.

[00:59:38] And I was laughing because he's like, what's so good about it?

[00:59:41] You know, like he's just like, he's like, you know,

[00:59:43] he's just down many ton of your cheers. He's like, you know,

[00:59:45] he's like, jump, you know, he's like, wow, this is great.

[00:59:47] You know, it's going to be a great day to, you know,

[00:59:49] you remember yours one for you remember the guy,

[00:59:54] the guy who used to come in with the, with the,

[00:59:56] with the Miller, the Miller light guy,

[00:59:59] the Miller light guy and obviously Jonathan Goldsmith as the

[01:00:02] most interesting man in the world.

[01:00:04] Oh God.

[01:00:05] I love the most interesting man in the world commercials.

[01:00:08] Yeah.

[01:00:09] And they should not have gotten rid of him.

[01:00:11] No.

[01:00:12] And that.

[01:00:14] And that's what I understand.

[01:00:16] That's almost that.

[01:00:18] That killed, that killed their company.

[01:00:21] I think so. And I got him.

[01:00:23] Was he the same guy who was in the,

[01:00:25] you're going to love the way you look?

[01:00:28] No.

[01:00:29] I always thought it was the same guy.

[01:00:31] It's just so similar.

[01:00:33] But yeah, he's at the third stage of his career while,

[01:00:37] you know,

[01:00:38] Dennis Haysbert is the all state guy and Dean Winters is the mayhem

[01:00:41] commercials.

[01:00:42] Those guys were like at the third stage of their careers.

[01:00:44] The thing that corrects you was Dennis Haysbert.

[01:00:48] I know from major league, major league.

[01:00:52] And I know him from Buck Rogers because he was on the

[01:00:54] second season.

[01:00:55] Yeah.

[01:00:56] He's in so many episodes of the technician who turns on the

[01:00:59] day.

[01:01:00] You know, turn it off.

[01:01:01] Okay.

[01:01:02] I mean, you know, you hear that voice. You're like, what the hell?

[01:01:05] You know, um,

[01:01:06] All states plan.

[01:01:08] But the thing I love is J K Simmons.

[01:01:12] Yes, we are farmers.

[01:01:15] Farmers still doing the farmers insurance.

[01:01:19] Even after an Oscar win, he's still doing the farmers

[01:01:22] insurance.

[01:01:23] Peanut M&M commercials.

[01:01:25] Yeah. That cracks me up.

[01:01:28] I never knew it all that time.

[01:01:30] I thought it was familiar and it's like, Holy fuck, that's

[01:01:33] well, Billy,

[01:01:35] Billy West was doing that for a while too.

[01:01:38] That makes better sense.

[01:01:40] Billy, well, Billy West was,

[01:01:42] Billy West was like a guy you heard on a lot of commercials

[01:01:46] and drama and everything.

[01:01:48] Yeah.

[01:01:49] But he was, you know, he was doing a,

[01:01:54] the honey nut Cheerios B for a while.

[01:01:57] I wonder why that sounded familiar.

[01:01:59] So there you go. And,

[01:02:01] You know, there were,

[01:02:03] there were certain art voiceover guys and commercials are,

[01:02:06] you know, artists and commercials that you heard where you're

[01:02:08] like, Oh, you know, well, wait, they do, they do,

[01:02:11] they do cartoons too.

[01:02:12] You know,

[01:02:13] stages of the internet helped me figure out that the music next

[01:02:16] B was Antonio Benteris.

[01:02:17] Yeah.

[01:02:18] Well, here's one for you.

[01:02:20] If you watch Super Friends when you were a kid,

[01:02:23] the Super Friends will rise again.

[01:02:26] Okay.

[01:02:28] The voice of Superman was Danny Dark.

[01:02:31] Dark was the guy who did the sorry Charlie.

[01:02:37] I'm the old stark.

[01:02:38] Yeah.

[01:02:39] Those are great.

[01:02:40] And he also did the keyboard commercials.

[01:02:43] Oh man.

[01:02:44] We put a lot on our toll house cause we're like,

[01:02:47] we're like, Oh, man.

[01:02:49] We put a lot on our toll house cookies and I heard that and I went,

[01:02:53] wait a minute.

[01:02:55] Now I'm about 10 years old.

[01:02:57] Like putting two into like my head's going,

[01:02:59] that's the guy does the voice of Superman.

[01:03:02] And he was,

[01:03:03] he also was the voice of the unofficial voice of NBC.

[01:03:07] Oh,

[01:03:08] because it was him and Casey case.

[01:03:11] That did.

[01:03:12] That did the beneficial voice of NBC.

[01:03:16] And it was Ernie Anderson.

[01:03:19] It was the voice of ABC.

[01:03:21] Yes.

[01:03:22] I don't know who the CBS was.

[01:03:23] I'm trying to figure that out myself.

[01:03:25] I think I could be wrong,

[01:03:28] but I think Mark Elliott did a bunch of CBS spots.

[01:03:32] He would be like,

[01:03:33] Mark Elliott, it would be like,

[01:03:36] it's a wacky thing to get then on, then on Dallas, you know,

[01:03:40] he would do that, you know,

[01:03:42] and Jim Cummings, you know, from Tigger and Winnie the Pooh,

[01:03:45] you know,

[01:03:46] do a bunch of those home video ads.

[01:03:48] Oh yeah.

[01:03:50] And it would take you a minute if you're like,

[01:03:52] this is an R. Ray movie.

[01:03:53] I'm so used to seeing him and Elliott being the coming soon to

[01:03:57] Disney.

[01:03:58] Yeah.

[01:04:00] Coming soon to Disney, you know,

[01:04:03] man.

[01:04:04] Great, great badass guys.

[01:04:07] I still think the best thing I ever heard was

[01:04:11] my mother telling me that

[01:04:14] Mel blank.

[01:04:16] No, I've no, not my mother.

[01:04:18] Somebody telling me that Mel blank did a lot of commercials.

[01:04:22] And he did the voice of the Frito Bandito.

[01:04:26] Wow.

[01:04:28] Was he speaking Gonzalez mode?

[01:04:30] It was kind of like, well, speedy Gonzalez, you know,

[01:04:33] they speed up the tape a little bit.

[01:04:35] Yeah.

[01:04:36] But, but he would do the Frito Bandito.

[01:04:39] In the voice he do the,

[01:04:41] the Mexican guy on the Jack Benny show.

[01:04:44] You know, excuse me.

[01:04:46] Are you going to see, you know,

[01:04:48] what's your sister's name?

[01:04:50] Si.

[01:04:51] What's your sister's name?

[01:04:53] And your name?

[01:04:55] Si, you know, so he was doing this thing.

[01:04:57] My name is the Frito Bandito.

[01:04:59] You know, you can't do that anymore.

[01:05:01] No.

[01:05:03] Was this post Buck Rogers or pretty?

[01:05:05] No, this is pre Buck Rogers.

[01:05:07] Even.

[01:05:08] His voice was at its highest.

[01:05:11] Yeah.

[01:05:12] Well, he just gotten over the car accident.

[01:05:15] So it was 61.

[01:05:18] So 6465 he was doing the Frito Bandito.

[01:05:23] And did they ever replay these ads?

[01:05:27] Like they did the,

[01:05:28] because I know the starkest sorry, Charlie tuna ads would

[01:05:31] definitely come up replay on TV land and that was fine.

[01:05:34] It's not like they had changed their brand really.

[01:05:36] They had somebody else do those ads after Danny dark died,

[01:05:39] but never the same.

[01:05:42] Never the same.

[01:05:43] It was never the same.

[01:05:44] It was never the same after a lot of guys passed away because

[01:05:46] you have a sheen in one.

[01:05:47] Sorry, Charlie.

[01:05:48] Yeah.

[01:05:49] Sorry, Charlie.

[01:05:50] No tigers blood for you.

[01:05:52] No fish blood.

[01:05:53] You know, it's,

[01:05:54] you know, it's weird when you get older,

[01:05:56] you start to recognize a lot of people like Robert Wagner

[01:05:59] was doing the same thing.

[01:06:00] And then he got a little bit of a little bit of a little

[01:06:02] bit of a little bit of people like Robert Wagner I was doing

[01:06:06] the colonial pen ads and then it was Alex Trebek.

[01:06:09] He kicked off and now it's.

[01:06:11] Walker,

[01:06:13] Jimmy Walker has been playing way too much and sometimes they

[01:06:16] intersected with the Trebek ones.

[01:06:17] And I guess they had to pull them out of respect to his passing

[01:06:20] recently.

[01:06:21] And then,

[01:06:22] but then,

[01:06:23] but then there was a

[01:06:25] more,

[01:06:26] it seems doing the,

[01:06:27] the medicine commercial where you can get it cheaper.

[01:06:30] I've seen those. I've even seen short doing it. Yes, Martin Short does it and he

[01:06:37] even does JC Penney's ads and even freaking Shatner is back doing the damn

[01:06:42] hospice if you want to be able to breathe and I'm sorry this is one of those as

[01:06:48] you're seeing it like see pap the CPAP thing right yeah it's off the daytime

[01:06:53] and it's one of those you should be you know you know sympathetic but it's

[01:06:58] like I'm sorry I'm unintentionally laughing at these God damn yeah you're

[01:07:03] like oh god please please just stop stop when my father worked at this one

[01:07:08] college he encountered these guys in a room meeting they were talking about

[01:07:11] making a local ad that would play on loop at their college and occasionally on

[01:07:16] TV and they picked a random set of names and Shatner was one of them and my

[01:07:22] father had to stop himself from laughing during the place because they

[01:07:24] clearly were oblivious to who Shatner was you're talking about a man who's

[01:07:32] become a self-parity of himself and now he's found if a different kind of cult

[01:07:36] fandom you know well here's here's the one thing you're gonna love there's a

[01:07:40] commercial of William Shatner and Leonard Neymoy doing something for

[01:07:44] Southwest Airlines yes man I remember it very clearly it's like you know Leonard

[01:07:50] it's good we're going on vacation yeah I'm about happy for that too Bill you know

[01:07:55] and they're like it was like and I remember Shatner doing a car commercial

[01:08:00] Leonard Neymoy was doing was doing computer commercials he loved doing

[01:08:08] the damn computer commercials and was that the one what I think he advertised

[01:08:14] computers in one and Jonathan Franks from Next Gen and DeForest Kelly were

[01:08:18] also in one with them and they're all over the phone prank calling each other

[01:08:21] laughing yeah yeah it was like I've come on on the Paramount stations because

[01:08:27] that's where they're airing all you know original series next to it

[01:08:31] the thing the thing I loved was when they did Scotty did one yeah yeah I

[01:08:42] think he was definitely in one of them with them yeah one of them he did

[01:08:45] overseas for his hometown in Canada yeah and I remember what was it they did

[01:08:53] Star Trek then I just remember a lot of that stuff was being like they were

[01:09:00] just getting people a hawk you know hawk you know it was like it was like it was

[01:09:03] fun to watch you know it really was fun you know those a lot of those

[01:09:09] commercials a lot of innocence a lot of fun you looked forward to the ad

[01:09:13] break as much as you did yeah whatever program you're watching like the

[01:09:17] inside remember the encyclopedia kid I think so he

[01:09:22] didn't say works that's Stan Freeberg son no and free bird did those commercials

[01:09:29] chase you wanted to get a bunch of encyclopedias you know and it's like

[01:09:34] in it that's that's Stan free bird wait that's his kid didn't they later

[01:09:40] animate some of them yeah they did they just didn't have the same impact because

[01:09:46] it was just like it didn't it just rendered it mute because the passion and

[01:09:50] excitement and like to say knowing who he was related to it was kind of fun and

[01:09:59] I don't know why they even bother animating these half the time because that

[01:10:02] really actually costs way more money well they go cheap they go overseas they

[01:10:07] get them cheap and they're like okay let's do this they hire like a Korean or

[01:10:11] Chinese studio that animated yeah and it doesn't it doesn't seem the same you

[01:10:15] know you know because it's like it's like it's like what was it um

[01:10:22] like they would get actors like okay we don't need this actor anymore we'll

[01:10:28] just you know if somebody else to do it and I know like with the gecko

[01:10:32] is never the same after they threw out Kelsey grammar and then they placed

[01:10:37] Aussie guy and I would cringe half the time because sometimes

[01:10:42] I don't know but he's still doing him and I'm just like

[01:10:46] is he the lizard yeah yeah oh wait Kelsey grammar was the voice of the lizard right

[01:10:52] yeah it was like when it first started happening around 2000 2001 and then they

[01:10:56] kicked them and they got someone cheaper the Aussie guy and sometimes those ads were

[01:11:01] legit funny just like most Geico ads but they were playing on hers where it was

[01:11:05] just very irritating and you just want to return to your program the one the one

[01:11:09] that I was used to love was the caveman ad oh they were golden and when they got

[01:11:15] their own sitcom you want to talk one hit you know uh one season wonders that

[01:11:19] was another one's like so much cotton gold on tape and yet it did backfire

[01:11:25] they they didn't realize what was making it so funny go easy a caveman can do it

[01:11:31] why are you saying that you know yeah but you know it's funny one of the guys who

[01:11:35] played the caveman was Jimmy Olson in the start in the

[01:11:39] Superman Returns movie wasn't oh my god yeah it was yeah um but I mean there's

[01:11:48] something like I remember seeing Adam West do a commercial for for something I don't know what

[01:11:54] and then they had Christopher Reeve doing a commercial for like JVC camcorders

[01:11:59] you know and you know of course you know the kid he's filming is dressed up as Superman you know

[01:12:08] you can film your own kids adventures gee dad that and by Jimmy Olson you mean Jack Larson

[01:12:14] no no no no Jimmy Olson like the not Jack Larson the kid who and not Mark McClure um

[01:12:23] oh the kid who was in Superman Returns oh okay yeah he was one of the cavemen in the show

[01:12:36] oh man looking it up now yeah he was played by I think I know his face he's been in a lot of things

[01:12:48] he actually did another movie with Brandon Routh

[01:12:50] Sam Huntington

[01:12:51] yeah Sam Huntington did another movie with Brandon Routh too

[01:12:56] where he's like a vampire hunter or something yeah yeah yeah yeah that's how it was yes yeah

[01:13:03] um but the thing that gets me is like you would have like Linda Carter I think did a commercial

[01:13:10] you know here's one here's one that gets me it's um Penny Marshall and um Rosie O'Donnell

[01:13:18] doing a commercial for Kmart in the 90s I definitely saw it I I barely remember it but I

[01:13:25] I can assure you my parents definitely set the tape and it definitely caught one of those

[01:13:29] if it was especially on ABC yeah because they originally wanted Cindy Williams

[01:13:36] but she couldn't do it and they had just done a leak over their own

[01:13:41] and that's the rumor of her like they wanted Cindy Williams to do the commercial and she was

[01:13:44] like I can't do it um so Penny Marshall was like okay why don't we just get me and Rosie to do it

[01:13:51] oh they were good friends you know they just done a leak on their own so right um

[01:13:56] and that's you know that was that was a fun commercial watch you know but they used to have uh

[01:14:01] I don't like I don't I don't remember like I remember Bing Crosby when my father told me

[01:14:06] about Bing Crosby Crosby Sinatra Sinatra did Sinatra did a commercial

[01:14:13] for something and obviously Sammy Davis you know would talk about Sammy Davis you know Sammy

[01:14:19] did a commercial he did he did that what was it the um liquor I think this liquor course was like

[01:14:31] but um you know Sinatra I remember doing a commercial I think for a stereo or something

[01:14:37] like that yeah it would make sense I think he was required to do it as part of his record deal or

[01:14:42] something and then Bing Crosby doing Florida Orange Juice he's like here I'm back in the

[01:14:50] my wife's making some pancakes making some eggs maybe get a little bit of a homemade orange juice

[01:14:55] while I'm here and please don't talk to me about my my kids for my first marriage

[01:15:02] remember then Gary Signee and the other little bastards I used to beat up Saddlehead with a

[01:15:07] big brown belt get a bag of a lens of oranges if they come over here whip them like a bunch of bitches

[01:15:15] I got a new family now look at them look at them all oh nice and kind that's my new image now

[01:15:22] nice and kind Bing Crosby laid back not a tyrant at home like I was described by my son

[01:15:28] um oh yeah Mel Tormey doing uh Mountain Dew ads

[01:15:38] my mother Mountain Dew has had the most bizarre ones definitely by far

[01:15:43] oh and Kiefer Sardinland's done some weird ones he oh yeah for a while recently he was doing

[01:15:50] I'm a quirvo and he just always get in like a bar fire say I'm a quirvo and but he used to do

[01:15:56] once in character as Jack Bauer his 24 character for calorie mate and it's like he would eat it and

[01:16:01] just like jump on top of a train while diffusing a bomb and is like better now I've had a bite to

[01:16:07] eat for it I'm like what the hell okay well I my favorite was you're not who you are to eat

[01:16:12] a Snickers and they had uh Joe Pesci Joe Pesci William the foe was in one well the foe was

[01:16:20] in one uh Rob and Williams did one with Bobcat Gulfway hey it was a good one that was a good

[01:16:28] and then they had Betty White and uh Abe Vagoda Abe Vagoda man Barney Miller

[01:16:36] yeah my pot of bothering me all day um and Brian Cox was in a random liquor ad

[01:16:48] I the one I've always loved is who was it the well the the Miller light ads back in the 70s

[01:16:58] and then it was have Rodney Dangerfield yeah show up hey what's this you know uh totally

[01:17:08] because they had like Larry Sanka and Nick Bonacani you know don't yeah I remember Don Meredith for

[01:17:13] Lipton T I'm dandy Don Meredith between getting drunk on Monday Night Football I like to have some

[01:17:22] Lipton T when you're doing something with Coach you gotta get ripped um gotta get ripped speaking

[01:17:32] of getting ripped uh Territory's does a good job with the old spice ads and the other guy who's in

[01:17:38] them but the Bruce Campbell one is where it's at oh yeah y'all do yeah he just says it was such

[01:17:46] confidence while just having a shit eating grin and you're just like that's old spice

[01:17:51] that's old spice like he gives that nod to the camera like I'm Bruce Campbell don't fuck with me

[01:17:57] um who was the original the ones before being right oh god it was another deep voice who I definitely

[01:18:06] remembered it like narrating about it was the guy from uh the guy from the green mile I think

[01:18:14] did it Michael Clark Duncan I think he might have done that yeah wow okay I'll look it up but

[01:18:23] I remember uh who was it uh

[01:18:31] god I'm trying to think who I think was Michael Clark Duncan that's great your problems can

[01:18:38] turn the lights down boss before you give me the roast beef sandwich

[01:18:46] but like you now that you know it was weird because like you know actors were doing voiceovers

[01:18:51] but we had like we had so many one hit wonders Marlon Brando doing a Pepsi ad

[01:18:59] Skye Stallone doing a Lipton Ice T ad

[01:19:02] I the Lipton one has definitely found some big resurgence recently for whatever reason

[01:19:09] um who was it remember the guy Jaco for the Energizer

[01:19:14] kinda and he's a monster eye and yeah they replaced him with some other generic American voice now

[01:19:22] the energizer you know what I mean he's stronger than ever oh

[01:19:26] you know they put him on a show called um

[01:19:32] the highway man it was like it's like you know and Jaco from the energizer and you're like oh

[01:19:37] shit here we go Sam Jones right I think yes yes less cornered himself yeah and he just saw you went

[01:19:45] okay do you want to take the sunny bono ski route for your career

[01:19:49] what do you want to take the you know the uh you know the the the spider savage one

[01:19:57] where you actually get dropped by Claudine Lajer um which I think the original voice of the 70s

[01:20:02] Spider-Man cartoon also was in a bunch of ads and I think even Cher wasn't an ad

[01:20:09] well Cher was doing Jack Lillian

[01:20:13] okay for a while it might be that might be but it didn't take off the 70s

[01:20:23] the 60s Spider-Man or the 70s Spider-Man I think it's the 70s one I think he did like a bunch of other

[01:20:29] like voiceovers or bumpers for tv networks I'll look that up later um he's like a

[01:20:37] was um how about Frank Welker the voices yeah yeah

[01:20:45] the predator the transformers voices cobra commander yeah well when we do when we do if we

[01:20:53] ever do sari morning cartoons we have to get into that I promise hell if we want to do just one

[01:21:00] voice actor let's do welker no we have we're gonna have to do a multi-part on

[01:21:07] because that would be fun to do you know um let's do it but yeah welker when you're Frank welker

[01:21:15] um you know I do remember uh Pete um the guy who's the voice of Optimus Prime doing a couple of

[01:21:23] yep you know Peter Cullen when we were Peter Cullen doing a couple ads in fact it's funny

[01:21:28] though because you watch it I was watching something the other day and it was somebody put on the Hudson

[01:21:34] Brothers Razzle Daddell show and Peter Cullen is on the show Peter Cullen was on that show

[01:21:41] I bet he had a big variety background in his son's even a stuntman

[01:21:48] he I think he was a comedian actor too you know I think yeah he went to the growlings or

[01:21:54] Hollywood improv equivalent basically yeah and he but you know but he's always going to be the voice

[01:22:00] of Optimus Prime you know he's got he based it on his brother who came back from Vietnam

[01:22:09] you know but um I think that's why he was very hardened he kind of in a way wanted to do

[01:22:14] indirectly do attribute to his brother who had gone the GI route his brother and John Wayne

[01:22:21] if you hear if there's a little bit of John Wayne in there

[01:22:25] kind of and I think that's just a grew up watching John Ford movies on TV and just grew

[01:22:33] this is how I do a cowboy this is how do I pay a patriotic voice versus a

[01:22:38] solemn or mysterious or freaky voice and the thing that gets me too is that like

[01:22:45] there's a lot of there's a lot of commercials where they had people in there that were

[01:22:49] doing voiceovers and you'd be like wait aren't they supposed to be doing oh wait they just that's

[01:22:54] probably just like you know 500-dollar paycheck and here you go you know you'll get rich bitch
