Commercials are for old school

While sitting here typing up this useless and mostly inane blog, somewhere out there are millions of people suffering through another harmless but horrible commercial. Here's my one wish, that there become a channel that is devoted to nothing but old school commercials. That way when someone wants to subject themselves to the endless repetition of commercials they have some place to go for atleast a good laugh.

Have you noticed how everything is all about being old school. Taking it back to when everything was hippty and hoppty. We have old school jerseys for sports athletes, old school music from new school artists (K.D. Lang) old school cars remodeled for the new age playa', and even old school dance moves (break dancing is back). So why can't we go old school on t.v. commercials.

I mentioned before that I loved the Old Milwaukee commercials, "It doesn't get any better than this." Unless it's a scene from Deliverance. Let's bring back old school Wendy's, "Where's the beef?" old school grandma serving up burgers at the local fast food restaurant. Nothing more imaginable than an 80 year old woman sweating over my quarter pounder. One of my all time favorites was Dunkin Donuts, "Gotta make the donuts." That guy was the poster child for I hate my freakin job because everybody eats donuts 24/7. I really liked the old school beer commercials for Schlitz, " Grab the bull by the horns." By the way, wasn't the guy who was the official spokesman for Schlitz commercials in Stars Wars, damn you Lando Calrissan for betraying Han Solo. How back bringing back Bob Uecker for those old school Miller Lite commercials, he is alot funnier than Cedric the Non-entertianer. Or better yet the singing and dancing California Raisins, "I heard it through the grapevine." What's better than claymation, is really bad claymation. Bring back the cereal commercial in which we have a big brother force feeding his little brother cereal. Oh, the family ties that bond, "Mikey likes it, he really likes it." How about the gum commercial from Big Red in which every guy gets lambasted with a big wet one from the girl of his dreams all he has to do is by a 45 cent pack of gum. "Make your kiss last a little longer, with Big Red." Or Juicy Fruit with their hip song and always dare deviling activities of people skydiving or waterskiing with no hands because "The Taste is gonna move ya." Bring back the Hawaiian Frunch Punch bowl man that breaks through walls with the might of the Hulk because he's all hopped up on delicious colored sugar water. He scares the kids with his tights and huge kool-aid ass screaming "Oh, Yeah!" Better yet, thousands of people ceremoniously raising their arm pits to the world to show they don't smell and have used Sure, "Raise your hand if your Sure." One last one, I remember the old AT&T commercial where the guy picks up the pay phone and says "Welcome Alkabayside." Man was that a great commercial. I love these old school commercials. There's plenty more and maybe my next blog will have some more great old school commercials. For now, we suffer with Glady's Knight and not the Pimps running down a field of Rugby players to promote, wait a minute who cares.

One of my favorite commercials of all time came out while I was in high school. It was several shots of a large building with closed, shuttered windows. Every few seconds a gorgeous woman would throw the shutters open, lean out the window and scream, "Egoiste!" Then the women would lean back inside of the building and slam the shutters closed. Egoiste was a cologne by Chanel, and presumably the women would not stay in the window and talk to me because I wasn't wearing Egoiste. Man, I wonder if I can find a bottle of that stuff on eBay...
