A commercial that has been burned into your memory

I can't seem to find it but my parents had a VHS from the 90's of taped Simpsons episodes that had this commercial of some basketball player dressed in drag with "Brick House" playing in the background.
EDIT: Found it!


That's the dude who played Buster Bluth on Arrested Development.

I thought so. He does resemble skinny Mike Stoklasa though.

A friend introduced these to me long after they aired.

Obviously, being Americans we weren't there for the original run.
 
That one 1985 Fruit Corners Fruit Bars "So Good They're Ugly" commercial that had Fake Devo on it for a couple of seconds.


Another Fruit Corners product was Fruit Wrinkles. Are those still around?


Not fruit but in the same general category of snack, Betty Crocker Pudding Roll-Ups. This commercial has a young Seth Green in it.


I'm pretty sure I had Fruit Bars a few times, I'm not so sure about Fruit Wrinkles or Pudding Roll-Ups. A good percentage of kids in Canada in the mid-1980s could watch these commercials on cartoons that aired on Saturday mornings or in syndication in weekday "after school" time slots on TV stations from American cities near the border (like Plattsburgh NY and Burlington VT for those of us in the Montreal area), but not every product advertised crossed the border. Or maybe the latter two did cross the border and my mother just never bought them.

Enzyte commercials were known for their double entendres (and the fact Bob looked like he was in great physical pain from his erections). This commercial, however, seemed to really pack in the double entendres more than the rest.

A circa 1991 commercial from Canadian television I've never been able to find on the Internet: it's for Extra gum set in a laundromat with a guy doing laundry offering gum to Canadian model Maura Peters while "And I think it's going to be a long, long time" from Elton John's "Rocket Man" (probably a cover version) repeats in the background.

The Burger King commercial?

No, no, no, my friend.

I mean the Walmart commercial.


A commercial that runs so often it could be legally classified as torture and cruel and unusual punishment.

Any and all airings of this commercial violate the Geneva convention in such a flagrant manner it would make the Saddam Hussein blush.

From what I could find looking up this question, they disappeared but nobody seems to know or agree when exactly they were discontinued. I still remember classmates going into a frenzy when my best friend at the time had Fruit Wrinkles in his lunch.

And of course, Enzyte turned out to be a major scam.

Yeah, I noticed that trying to find the ad I posted. That explains why the commercials abruptly stopped.

This Swiffer commercial from 2000 with the singing soldiers is still my favourite Swiffer ad by a long shot.

The swiffer ad I remember is the one with the cover of Devo's Whip It, instead its Swiff it, or some shit.
