TV Commercial Characters

[Debi]

What characters in TV commercials, be they actually people (like Mr Whipple) or animated (Trix Rabbit) do you remember? Who were your favorites?

I never liked commercials until Ford had the one announcing the Ford Pinto and there were horses running around, a mother with a colt, and then the car at the end. Really crappy car, but a great commercial.

I liked the Meow Mix commercial when the cat starts singing "Meow, meow, meow,!" I used to tease one of my cats by singing it, and she would playfully charge at me as if to attack. It was a fun game!

It would not, but it was darn effective in planting the brand name in your head.

This one really stuck in our minds and became a part of the commonly used phrases!

I found that one the most annoying of them all, still is.

The one that I remember was the Macca's Hamburglar. I hated anyone stealing my food, and still do. I've often tapped the kids with my fork when they tried to pinch baked potatoes or crackling from my plated baked dinner, lol.
