And let us not forget the classic Tootsie Roll Pops episode with the turtle and the owl.
I saw one a few months ago on Nick

Just saw one more:

The Castrol GTX commercial where the guy is chugging up the highway (presumable with engine trouble) and the troopers on the side of the road with the rader gun:

Trooper one: "How fast? 16??"

Trooper two: *chuckles* "Hehe, yeah!!!!"  Grin

And another right after that one!

the Aflac commercial with the goat eating the paper work in the office (We didn't purchase Aflac, we got something else")   Grin ... that one has been popping up again lately as well  Cool

And it has two separate/alternate endings:

1. With the Aflac goose chasing him out of the building, and

2. The goat is wearing a fake goose bill and in a deep voice says "NAflac"  Grin  Cheesy  Tongue

Wal-Mart's Christmas commercial... the one where the cashiers are doing a light show with their lane number lights.  They bring it out year after year.

Good luck trying to find them online, because Kraft would sell off some of their brands to other companies (i.e., Parkay margarine to ConAgra) years later!

In the Cleveland Ohio market there was an ad that began running in the 1950s (or no later then the early 1960s) which had a very memorable tune and music for the phone number... "Garfield 1-2323, Garfield 1-2323".  The firm held onto that number and they were still running that tag line grafted on to new spots into the mid-late 1980s (maybe even the early 1990s!), even though nobody gave out phone numbers with letters like GA 1-2323 anymore.  Now with the advent of phones with no letter listings, and area code changes, it makes it tough to use that number.  Too bad.  Too bad.

Somewhat related to this topic ..when Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper did their "throwback" thing recently, I am surprised they didn't bring back their old ads as well since many of them ( at least from the 80's anyway ) they really wouldn't be all that dated such as those "Be A Pepper" or "Do The Dew" ads. Even the Pepsi/The Jacksons ad could work as well despite Michael's death.

Here there's a few that have aired for a ridiculously long time. There's this jewelry store called the Treasure Hut that has had the same commercial for at least a dozen years, probably 15.
