Don’t ask me why, but I was thinking of some of my favorite commercials from back in the days before DVR, when people actually watched commercials. I don’t think I ever in my life ate a pizza from Little Caesars, but they had some damn funny commercials.

I seem to remember an alternate version that had the guys pants falling down and he exclaimed “I lost forty pounds!” Which is of course ridiculous that he would just happen to notice it at that moment, but whatever – those were simpler times. The best part in the commercial is the line – “I’ve got a brother?!” Now that’s advertising!

And this one is hysterical, probably mostly to my mother and sister, who will get the joke instantly.

See, when my sister and I were younger, and we would fly unaccompanied to California, we had to call our Mom the absolute SECOND we landed so she could “stop” worrying about us flying cross-country alone. And that was in the days before cell phones and unlimited minutes, so we’d call collect from the airport, and our names were always “Wejustlanded Werefine.” Apparently though, other people had done similar tricks.
