Fruit of the Loom has certainly come a long way. The commercials they’re making now or simply awesome. I’m glad they’re not doing this any more.

I’ll try to find that one too. But here for your enjoyment is an old classic.

You too can catch your spouse talking to the other person in their life! You too can catch your boyfriend talking to his other boyfriend. You too can lock yourself away in a cave to get away formt he people who are cheating on you!

I’ll tell you who, the people that either weren’t alive or never watched TV.

As I recall, the first thing on mind the day I was married had nothing to do with chewing gum. I guess that’s just me though.

I’m pretty sure this before the Late Show gig.  I guess he was lucky to get that job if he was so desperate he was doing this….

Amoco decided to take advantage of this got Clayton Moore to appear in their “Sliver” commercial. Of course The Lone Ranger’s horse was named “Silver”, so that’s the tie in.

Considering he was at least close to being in his seventies when he made this, he still looks pretty spry. Plus, you can’t beat a man’s man that drives a Jeep.  He certainly deserves a seat on the square table, that’s for sure.

I wish the Democrats and the Republicans really could get together on some of the more important issues, instead of just contradicting each other all the time.

It’s theme is based on the year it ran during the super bowl, or at least on a book named after that year. That year was 1984.

To be honest, I think the graphics for this were WAY ahead of their
time. I always thought this commercial was awesome. They recently redid this commercial to include things like the runner carrying and iPod. While I highly recommend the iPod, I don’t like the new commercial as much as I like the original.

Was that supposed to be a spreadsheet?

I guess the Vic 20 was a little before my time. At the time this came out I was using a TRS-80 at school. Later I would have my own C-64.

You have to wonder too, did this gig really pay well, or was William Shatner desperate for some cash? At least he looks human here, unlike in a more recent commercial.
