70s Spots: ‘Burger King And I’ (1978 & ’79)

We did it!

“Who’s got that flame-broiled burger and it’s never fried?!”

All right, ‘Disco shimmy shakers – here’s two spots for Burger King featuring the “Burger King And I” jingle-song-thingy.

First, a commercial from September 1978 with a group of Girl Scouts. Second, a spot from July 1979 laser-focused on the company’s french fries.

Brougham Sweet Brougham

“Built better to ride better.”

A pair of Mercury spots for your Memorial Day. Both aired in October of 1972, showing off the new ’73 models.

First, one shot in California for the Montego MX Brougham. Second, one shot at Daytona in Florida for the Comet.

‘Jeep CJ-5 – it’s fun to drive!’

“What’cha doin’ on your day off?”

I’ve been absent from the ‘Disco for a few days. Apologies for that. Let’s get things rolling again with two car commercials.

First, a spot for Jeep CJ-5 from January of 1974 (produced in ’73). After that, a Mustang II spot from April ’74. Somewhat ironically, the commercial features a take-off of Melanie’s “What Have They Done To My Song Ma.” They done turned it into a Ford spot! That’s what they done.

Carbonated memories

“Have a Pepsi day!”

We’re opening two bottles of pop on this fine afternoon. Both of the Pepsi commercials on display here aired in September of 1978. The first features a family birthday party, the second, a catamaran sailing outing. C’mon, c’mon!
