Zimbra Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I cannot believe that this commercial actually exists and is not from a way-too-on-the-nose piece of satire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) That is the fucking limit. Spoiler EDIT: Hey, on a similar note, is Quizno's still around? I haven't seen one in forever. Used to love that sandwich with the Russian dressing on it, whatever that was. Edited June 27, 2019 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Well, all that emphasis on human life tells you it's something marketed at humans. Once you've narrowed it down like that it's pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 One of my favorite commercials from the late 90s: 1. How does a kid that's max 11 or 12 know who Robert Loggia is? Are his parents such shit parents they showed their son Scarface? Maybe it was Lost Highway since this commercial came out about a year after Lost Highway. 2. The look on mom's face suggests Robert Loggia had his way with her. They may have even gotten high on Loggia's own supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I too was about that age and didn't know who Loggia was; I figured the joke was like one of those Simpsons ones I didn't get so I went ahead and laughed anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't seen Scarface yet until I was in my 20's and doing coke. At the time of that commercial, the only things he was in that I saw were Independence Day and Lost Highway, but I didn't really know who he was.

Curt McGirt Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I first saw Scarface on TV probably around 15-16? And then went out and bought the double-VHS from a local Blockbuster. I was kicking myself for not having seen the film before then -- I mean it had a chainsaw massacre and everything! The funny thing is even though I've now seen Scarface probably close to 50 times I had to think of who Loggia played in it for a half-second earlier. For me, the first thing I thought of was his role in The Sopranos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 A big h4chunk of the Saint Seiya action figure commercials from the 80s. For the mid to late 80s these were some fuckin AWESOME action figures.

cwoy2j Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 As a kid I knew who Robert Loggia was because of Over the Top. He was the asshole grandpa who didn't want the kid to stay with Sylvester Stallone. I also knew him because I randomly saw Opportunity Knocks in the theater when I was 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Every single time I see this Modelo commercial on Viceland with the soldier that lost her leg in Iraq I quote out loud Bushwick Bill from the Geto Boys rapping "cut off my leg and let me die in Iraq". That is all. RIP Bushwick, you crazy motherfucker. Edited July 4, 2019 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
