Sonny-Burnett Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Couldn't find this thread anywhere so thought I'd start one. The commercials back then were great, IMO. Here's a Michelob one set to a Winwood song.. and at 26 seconds, is that a DJ lookalike.....maybe not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach_Vice Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Are there more commercials from back then with the same Vice neo noir cool/attitude atmosphere generated by the cinematography and music? I love the atmosphere of it. Know of any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona74 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 There was also a version of that commercial where the professor says they're at the Southfork Ranch, not "a split level ranch". I guess the makers of "Dallas" didn't like that reference all that much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susanna Girl Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I don't think it's Red Skelton...I can't find any information that he ever did a Pepsi commercial. I can't find any information on who this person really is either, strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be sure, that it really was him, I looked up his name and tried to find out, if he had been in that Pepsi Commercial. http://sydmead.com/v/12/film/ Year 1984 Joe Pitka Productions Pepsi Commercial. I could be wrong, but to me it looks like him. Edited January 25, 2017 by summer84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Probably the definitive commercial of the genre: This might be the only song which as soon as I hear it I'm thinking back to a commercial.

Dadrian Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I remember this well. I'm very glad it's on one of the commercial breaks on my old MV broadcast VHS tapes. Perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his bio though on his webpage doesn't he seem more like the graphics design guy for the commercials and films? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
