cal worthington and his dog spot.

Big fan of Cal Wothington and his dog spot - we had to do a viedo project in HS Spanish and we knocked off Cal - good times.

Also - have to mention Mr. Norman.

Before Jim Adler was the Texas Hammer, he was the "Tough, Smart Lawyer"

Llama Mr. Norman.

always love C&J's Audio:
"C&J's, C&J's everybody's coming to C&J's"

que cheezy ethics dancing on the curb in front of the store with metal bars on the windows.

very thoed

Thunderbolt is probably the best TV one.

My favorite radio commercial:

I've got a ranch in downtown Houston
I buy diamonds by the ton
Chase cuties in my Cadillac
Drill oil wells just for fun
But when it comes to boots
I need a deal that will fit me right, from toe to heel
So I get my boots at...

BOOT TOWN

One of those lame injury attorney commercials. The insurance "Doctor" sees all these patients in hospital beds and tells them to go back to work. He then sees some guy in a body cast or something and tells him "Light duty".

Terrible description, but it was a terrible commercial

I agree with Flash. Those are the first two commercials that came to my mind.

another few:

Mickey Gilley on top of the A-1 Mobile home water tower shaped building.

Paul Boesch wearing big diamond earrings for I.W. Marks, the whole commerical was just a head shot of Boesch, that rotated around his head while the diamonds glistened.

Joe Conti Chevrolet, they had a jingle that I can't exactly remember, but I believe it was a cartoon dog playing a bongo drum or something.

i dont remember which dealership it was, all i remember is "seventy-seven seventy-seven katy freeway"

7777 Katy Fwy was Courtesy Chevrolet.

Another couple of catchy jingled car dealearships included:

Maik Haik Chevrolet "Maik Haik Chevrolet, Katy Freeway, Peak Road Exit, Houston"

Also the Aggie owned and operated Tommy Vaughn Ford, "Tommy Vaughn(high voice), Tommy Vaughn(low voice), Tommy Vaughn Ford"

this thread reminds me of summers at home when i was like 12 or 13

something like this...

Buy your Chevrolet from Conti
Buy your Chevrolet from Conti
Buy your Chevrolet from Conti
Joe Conti Chevrolet

I-45 North between Tidwell and Parker

Someone should save that Thunderbolt commercial for posterity by putting it on YouTube.

"We put the YEE-HA back in your motor or transmission!"

"If IW Marks can make my ears look good, imagine what they can do for hers."

Pure genius in my opinion.

Anyone remember, "Charlie's Hamburgers, good ol' hambugers, Charlie's Hamburgers, good ol' hambugers . . . ?"
