And it's not new either. I remember these TV ads[0] from when I was a teenager (1980s) and my peer group and I found them quite amusing.

These days, the same folks take a more threatening tack[1] (a sign of the times, perhaps?), which I find pretty galling.

Haha, I wondered if anyone would catch the reference. Sadly, they're disappearing along with "plop plop fizz fizz", "where's the beef", "hey mikey", "hello betty" or "gee your hair smells terrific".

Yep. One of my personal favorites was "We make your dreams come true!"[0] which was a local thing where I come from, but is truly iconic!

Not to mention the "Lullabuy of old Broadway."[1]

This was one of my tops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fucxG-he2qU Keith Hernandez, Emmitt Smith, and Walt Frazier. There were older commercials for this, but Emmitt was just soo funny in it. "Ohhh it's bad"

That's definitely a good one, but I always dug the "Rejected!" "No play for Mister Gray!"[0]
