Vintage radio jingle for Sav-on drug stores. I used to love it when I was a kid and they were still playing it well into the 1980s.

Old TV commercial, maybe 1960's -- two unshaven guys riding in a Ford pickup truck.

First guy -- "look out, there's King Kong up there blocking the road."

Second guy -- "he don't scare me none."

(commercial transpires, after which King Kong reaches down and picks the truck up)

Second guy rolls down the driver's window and says "you want a knuckle sandwich, monkey?"

They still play a modernized version of Ernie VonShledorn's commercial, which I remember as a kid, and they've been playing since my mom was a kid.

I can hear the tune in my head right now "Ernie VonShledorn, Main Street in Menomonee Falls" and then they have Ernie on there with his thick German accent, "Who do you know, wants to buy a car?"

My favourite from Indiana. This was, I think, one of the first commercials I saw in the US (at least it was a Don's Guns commercial). I don't want to make any money folks; I just LOOOVVVEE sellin' guns.

You didn't say "spoof ads" didn't count. It was the early 80s. You had to be there.
