And a very young Don Zimmer...

A line for the ages from Peewee: "I like baseballing kids".

 

[Dyno]

"Peewee, you do a lot of work with boys."

Loved it -- excellent find, JR!

It's weird seeing Zimmer before he turned into the gerbil too.

That's a good find!

My favorite classic commercial is the Flintstone's cigarette commercial.

Hard to remember but TV ads back then were all a minute long. Seems like an eternity.

There was a site a few years ago that had the Canadian Bud Light ads (way better than our ads) and the Molson ads, all of which were pretty funny. I think they had to pull it down, but I wish I could find it again.

Yes, that was one of them . . . I'll have to look for more of them on there. Thanks!

Did you have the "Bud Lite Institute" ads down there? They were hilarious

One of my favorite ad campaigns ever ... from five or six years ago, The Gap, "Give A Little Bit"
