TV Commercial Advertising: Greatest Slogans Jingles Taglines & Catchphrases of All Time


charmin_mr_whippleReminiscing over the past 50-60 years or so, it seems that commercials have always had ‘catchy’ slogans to make you remember their products the next time you go shopping or are in the market to buy a specific product. Sometimes these catchphrases go even beyond that. They can get stuck in your head like bubblegum on the bottom of your shoe. It wheres-the-beef-Wendys-adstrikes me as kind of funny that, as I was compiling this listing, I was actually amazed at how quickly I was able to recall many of these, even though some are 30-40 years old or more. Guess it’s safe to say they did their job quite effectively.

choo_choo_charlieA peppy jingle or clever catch phrase can make or break an ad campaign. Occasionally, an advertising agency will create a slogan or tune that resonates so strongly with the public that it remains in play for years or even decades. Many of these TV commercials are prime examples of that.CharlieTuna

Some of these on the list are relatively newer ones from the past 10 years or so, as others harken back to the early days of television. There were many regional commercials but I tried to focus on majority of the national ones that hit the airwaves.

OscarMayerBalognaSongHow many of these will you remember?

How many of these will get stuck in your head all over again just like they did when they originally aired?

Sit back, reminisce and enjoy the trip back in time through addicting, catchy, sometimes annoying, sometimes campy, but almost always entertaining…..  RETRO  TV  COMMERCIALS  😛
