I don't remember ever seeing that commercial. This always reminded me of the movie Shawshank Redemption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCmMs10JLw4.

Riff's presumably was Wilden

Riffington Tubesox Wildenburg. He had already been born and inherited the name when Wilcott Wildenburg changed his name to "Wilden".

Oh man "It's Du'mas" I haven't thought about that commercial in a looooong time. And in classic commercial tradition, remembering it utterly failed to remind me of what it was for. Insurance? Candy bars? Jeans? Who cares! What matters is that despite being memorable, it utterly failed to achieve its purpose


I think it was a Twix commercial (i.e. "Need a moment? Chew it over with Twix"). Either way, I not sure the ability to recall what a commercial was advertising years later is a good gauge of its effectiveness. I think it was pretty clear at the time. Not that it ever made me run out to buy Twix.


I posted a link to it above. It was A&W Root Beer ("now that's thick headed").


Damn. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sure I didn't even notice that was the brand at the time. Which...I guess because you bothered to make the correction, that means the commercial was actually more effective now.
