People Explain Which Commercials They'll Never Forget

No joke, I will never forget the old Sock'em Boppers commercials. I am well past the age group that plays with these things but that theme song is often in my head. What can I say? I watched a ton of TV as a kid and saw that commercial a million times.

They're now known as Socker Boppers and it's just not the same. Remember that video jingle, "it's more fun than a pillow fight?" Those were the days. Alas, everything good must end.

There are a host of other commercials that have left an impression on people. These people shared their thoughts with us after Redditor No-Caterpillar4212 asked the online community,

"What's a commercial you'll never forget?"

"I still giggle..."

"I still giggle at the LifeAlert "I've fallen and I can't get up" commercials. They even have a newer batch of them out."

MisterFives

There's a criminal in my house!

Classic.

"Mr. Owl..."

"Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"

TabithaTwitchet

The world may never know.

"I tried to collect..."

"Yo quiero Taco Bell!"

"I tried to collect all those stuffed Taco Bell dogs they did in promotion around this time. I had almost all of them, but never got my favourite one, with the military hat that says, "Viva gordita!""

F22Android

I remember those! There were so many. I swear, I had at least one or two but they've now been lost to time.

"This is your brain."

"The "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs" egg commercial."

[deleted]

Oh, but remember the old Rachel Leigh Cook commercial where she destroyed the entire kitchen and not just the egg?

"The dancing old man..."

"The dancing old man from the Six Flags commercials."

DizzyLurking

Now this one really takes me back.

The Venga bus is coming!!!

And everybody's jumping!!!

"That mid 2000s..."

"That mid 2000s Chef Boyardee commercial where the can follows the family and rolls home with them."

Greb-Grebberson

You mean the one where the can is clearly stalking the family and people are too shy to say otherwise?

At least that's how I like to play it out in my head.

"The Wilford Brimley..."

"The Wilford Brimley diabeetus commercial."

rntopspin100

At this point, diabetes should just be called Wilford Brimley syndrome.

"The Budweiser..."

"The Budweiser Wassup Commercial refuses to exit my brain to this day."

Humblebee89

WAZZZUUUUUPPP!? Any kids watching Scary Movie will not understand that reference in the movie sadly.

"Five eight eiiight, two-three hundred... ...Empiiiiire!"

[deleted]

Today!

Good choice. This one is always living rent-free inside my head.

"My bologna has a first name. It's O-s-c-a-r. My bologna has a second name. It's M-a-y-e-r. Oh, I love to eat it every day and if you ask my why, I'll say. Cuz Oscar Mayer has a way with b-o-l-o-g-n-a."

PianoOk6786

This commercial is likely singlehandedly responsible for teaching children how to spell "bologna."

Apologies if you now have relentless commercial jingles rattling inside your brain right now. You should have known we'd awake some long buried childhood memories!

Have some commercials you remember? Feel free to tell us more in the comments below!

Cruz Ripped After Claiming Kamala Harris Is 'Bigoted' For Not Picking Pete Buttigieg As Her Running Mate

Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz was called out after he claimed former Vice President Kamala Harris is "bigoted" after she revealed in her new memoir 107 Days that former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg would've been her first choice for running mate in last year's election if it wasn't for the fact that he's gay.

Harris, who ultimately selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, wrote that she felt it would be "too big of a risk" for a Black woman to run for president with a gay man at her side. She described Buttigieg as "an ideal partner—if I were a straight white man" and said she and her team concluded that "knowing what was at stake, it was too big of a risk."

TikToker Stunned After Trader Joe's Cashier Hints That She Should Wash Her Reusable Grocery Bags

A fairly easy rule of thumb when it comes to cleaning is, if you've used it, it will need to be cleaned.

This sounds overwhelming on the surface, but there are some items, like window blinds and bicycle seats, that don't need to be cleaned every single time we've used them, so the chores balance out over time.
