244. Big List of Favorite Commercials

Every previous big list of favorite commercials Every year, I post a new lit of my favorite commercials at Christmas and my birthday. Ovbi:

Chevy Venture (1998, Canada)

cuz the baby dachshund in the commercial looks like my baby dachshund, Maggie, who turns 11 this month.

Motts Applesauce (1988)

This commercial with this ~~drug~~ Motts dealer, was featured prominently in an episode of The Purple Stuff Podcast where the host made a list of their favorite things from 1988. This was one of The Sexy Armpit’s favorite things, this bizarre commercial where this gangster kid calls up this nerd and barters applesauce. Applesauce > a magic bunny and a skateboard.

Kraft Parmesan with Allyce Beasley (1990)

One day I’ll write about this later, but when I was little, I was briefly obsessed with Moonlighting, because my mom always watched it before my bedtime. I like, thought that Maddie, David, and Agnes DiPesto (Allyce Beasley) the secretary were my imaginary friends. So I was real jazzed to see her in a commercial for green can cheese when I was six.

Stove Top in the Canister

She also did a very meta commercial for Stove Top in the Canister! She’s gonna make Stove Top for Mr. Addison and all those Blue Moon employees that never did anything. How could David afford to pay them?

Korbel (1993)

Growing up I thought the lady in this ad was Julia Louis-Dreyfus, but I don’t think it is now that I look. I think she’s just a mere impersonator. I couldn’t find an article about the commercial or any proof online.

College Inn Chicken Broth (1989?)

1. What an odd name for a broth company.

2. Dandelion soup is apparently a thing. I thought dandelions were weeds in your backyard.

3. She says she sits back and watches the raccoons drool by the window. Girl, raccoons eat garbage. They want your garbage soup.

1997 Campbells with Tara Lipinski, Michelle Kwan, and Nicole Bobek

1995 National Figure Skating champion Nicole Bobek looks so out of place with teenagers Tara and Michelle. I always felt like Michelle and Tara never got along either.
