Redartz: Greetings, all! As we, here in 'TV Guided', consider and discuss various aspects of television in our Bronze age, how could we not address those little interruptions of our favorite shows? Yes, commercials- be it broadcast or cable (although our BBC viewing friends might have missed some of these), commercials have been part of the tv landscape since the very beginning. And truthfully, the subject of these minute-long memoranda could fill a blog on it's own. So, for today, we'll consider those particular commercials which have managed to stick in your brain. Even after several decades, some ads still pop instantly to mind, the jingles still ringing in your mind (for better or worse). And that is, doubtlessly, exactly the way they were designed.
Here are a few that my addled brain still can't escape, courtesy of :
Alka Seltzer
Ajax Cleanser
McDonald's
Dr. Pepper
Peter/Paul Candy
I'm certain you all have commercial tunes that still linger in your subconscious. I may have triggered a few here, my apologies if you can't get them out of your head! For revenge, tell us about your advertising 'earworms'...
