1. "Mama, tell all your babies, Don't Mess With Texas..."
Just a regional commercial, but also one of my earliest memories of Willie Nelson. I know, I'm a young'un.

14. That line was funnier than the 'Ive fallen' one...
Worst of all, it's not really funny. Except for the bad acting.

15. Day-vare!
Svim-vare! Evening-vare!

Does anyone remember that? It had a Russian fashion show and all the clothes were the same dull gray and the only change was what the model was carrying (in the "svim-vare" one, it was a beachball). The model was a large, humorless woman and the funny part was, no one can ever remember what the commercial was selling.

19. Ding Ding Ding!!!!
We have a winner! Yes, it was but very few people remember that. Kind of a case of advertising being TOO good - you remember the commercial but not the product.

28. Lucky Strikes means fine tobacco.
A few years ago my parents gave me a picture of my birth mom when she was pregnant, and she had a pack of Luckys and a cup of coffee on the table in front of her.

Ah yes, the days when cigarettes were good for you.
