Oct 3, 2024 · Let’s take a look at ten of the funniest commercials from the 70s that made us laugh. 1. Alka-Seltzer – “I Can’t Believe I Ate the Whole Thing”. This Alka-Seltzer ad features a man lamenting his overindulgence after a big meal. The memorable line, “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing,” became a part of pop culture.
- Charmin
- Life Cereal
- Alka-Seltzer
- Palmolive
- Bounty
- Coca-Cola
- Norelco
- Tootsie Roll

It wasn’t hard to find the sexual undertones of the Charmin commercial. Not only was the repressed homemaker doing something naughty by squeezing the Charmin (oh, so forbidden and illicit), but they also appeared to be a the point of climax before Mr. Whipple interrupted the ecstasy.
So simplistic: a picky eater starts chowing down, while the older kids stare aghast. He hates friggin’ everything, yet he eats this cereal. Who would’ve thought this commercial would gain such momentum?
I know the whole “plop plop fizz fizz” thing started in the sixties; however, it was the seventies where it latched onto the public consciousness with horrifying alacrity. “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing” was another Alka-Seltzer brain adhesive.
Madge was such a busybody bitch. She’s a manicurist who criticizes the hands of every one of her customers, shaming them. Then, to add insult to injury, she tells them their fingers are soaking in dishwashing liquid. Why Madge became such a TV legend is beyond me. And yet there it is.
Commercials were so damn simple back then. Bounty is the “quicker picker upper”. Done. That’s you’re commercial. No irony, no flashing seizure-inducing imagery, no indie-music…. just Rosie and her paper towels.
The Hilltop Singers with their hippie mantra spoke to the Boomers, I guess. It wasn’t just carbonated high-fructose corn syrup, it was the solution to world peace.
The Norelco electric razor commercials may not be as memorable, but they were plenty effective back in the day. The “movie trailer guy” (LaFontaine) narrates this gem with the same gusto as he did the blaxploitation previews. When he said “Gotcha” it was like a kung-fu kick to the nads.
It always kind of bothered me that the owl ate that kid’s Tootsie Pop. I wonder why it never bothered me that the kid was stark naked.
“Ring around the collar! Ring around the collar! Ring around the collar!’ Over and over again the housewife is taunted by animals and inanimate objects proclaiming her failure as a homemaker. Thank God Wisk will save her from her husband’s disappointment (or wrath).
Here’s to good friends, tonight is kinda special…Let it be Löwenbräu. Of course, we could go on all day. The Mean Joe Green Coke commercial, the “Calgon, take me away!”, the “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature” commercial. So, I’ll stop here…. and just ad one more for the road…. That moment when the customer realizes the “ancient Chinese secret” i...

Aug 29, 2019 · 4 | “I am stuck on Band-Aid, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me" (Band-Aid) Johnson & Johnson via YouTube. If you want to blow the mind of a kid today, just tell them that one of the most memorable commercial jingles from the '70s was about a Band-Aid. It sounds like a joke, but Johnson & Johnson managed to do what should have been impossible ...
