Joe Jacoby Theatervision commercial from back in the day

[Thanos]

Does anyone have that saveedd on a jpeg or download format.

[mjah]

Or how about John Riggins (or was it Joe Jacoby?) driving around in a Geo Metro?

[Burgold]

That was a painfully bad comercial if memory serves. Worse than Eastern Motors. Personally, I've heard rumors that Peter King shows this every Spring to the HOF voters as his primary reason Joe shouldn't be voted in.

Grimm and Jacoby should have been in the HOF long ago. Grimm should have been a first time lock.

Jacoby: "And yes, you too can own a big screen television". :laugh:


:doh:

:doh:
Actually it was "And yeth, you too can can own a big scween television".

[ntotoro]

It almost sounded like Frankenstein one of those Horror movie marathon commercials from Channel 20 back in the day.

"I'm Joe Jacoby for Theeyahtahvizhun."

[RonJeremy]

Actually it was "And yeth, you too can can own a big scween television".

I know...I was trying to be nice! :doh:

:laugh:

[DB44]

"...and we will not be under sold!.." (pointing at screen)
:laugh:

I loved those commercials. Riggo's Rangers (Ford Trucks), Dave Butz on the Heat Pump. Man It would be nice to see those again.

"Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis iiiiiiiis Chaaaaaaaaarles Maaaaaaaaaaann Foooor SSSwaaaaanson Huuuuuungry Maaaaaaaaan Diiiiiners" Get it out Charles, You can do it!

I loved how the commercial evolved over the years. The first year Joe said "of the World Champion Washington Redskins." The next year they went cheap and instead of reshooting it, they just switched to a picture of the Skins logo and cut out the "World Champion" part. :laugh:

Jacoby: "And yes, you too can own a big screen television". :laugh:


:doh:

Oh God, that's classic. I'd love to see that again. :)

Phokus thanks for the link. I had forgoten all about this little gem. Since I no longer live in the area I miss all the new stuff. But I remember this one. I also liked the radio spots on WMAL. Butz for Utz. Charles Mann for McDonaldas. Great stuff

[spjunkies]

That crappy TV would be worth like 2 bucks today.

[pjfootballer]

What was funny is, the commercial back then was just as cheesy as it is now.

[USS Redskins]

Those TV's sucked. A friends father bought one and even back then I thought the picture sucked. It was so faint and blurry.

[Raub]

Another classic commercial I'm looking for is the Carvel Ice Cream commercial with Fudgie the Whale. I loved that guy's voice. He always sounded like he smoked 30 cigars a day.

As bad as Jacoby sounds, you wouldn't want to say that to his face! Man, those Hogs were BIG!

[mcsluggo]

the version where they had to edit out "...superbowl champion..." :(

[Old Bay]

That dude was smoking a pipe while at work on a tv commercial.

[spjunkies]

The satellite antennas were $68 per month. :)

[Ned Flanders]

Those old school commercials were the poo poo.

Here's the Green/Monk/Clark Pizza hut commercial
