Think this could make a perfect future Wacky Billboard ad?
« on: November 06, 2023, 04:52:45 AM »
Remember the Wacky Billboard ads in Wacky Packages ANS10 and ANS11? I think this commercial spoof from a 1980's Svengoolie (local Chicago movie host who has now gone national via MeTV diginet) could be perfect for a Wacky Billboard take on the Chicago based Empire Today (800-588-2300 - EMPIRE! TODAY!) carpet cleaning service?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPjVURlHK6o

Oh, that was cute! They don't make 'em like that anymore (and don't we all wish that they did?).


Btw, the Wacky Billboards were also on 2014 S1 and 2015 S1. All four of these series had six billboards, both as card backs and inserts (except for 2015 S1, where two of the Billboards (Motel 666 and Indirect TV) were only released as card backs (base cards #50 and 52, respectively) but not as inserts).

And, and, and......don't forget....the 1969 wacky ads had a billboard right on the wrapper!

Darryl, very fun, thanks for posting.  Reminds me of an old SCTV bit.  I was never a huge fan of the Wacky Billboards but I totally dug the collectors boxes they came in.  For me those were the best boxes retail Wackys ever had!

I was saying that they don't make commercials like that anymore and was referring to the OP above mine. Even you should've been able to understand that one.
