KARATE KID

There are some commercials that stick with you throughout the years, even though you may not have seen them in a couple of decades.  Every time I see a commercial for an ambulance chaser lawyer, or someone else offering some service via commercial, I would think of Peter Francis Geraci.  At all hours of the day and night Peter Francis Geraci pawned his bankruptcy info tapes.  Another classic was the Karate Kid commercials.  They were over the top for a non-budget amateur hour style commercial.  I do not know one person that grew up at the same time as me that would not laugh if they heard, ‘you must be Karate Kid.’  One commercial that has lasted through the ages is the Where’s the Beef commercial.  There is a great joke about that commercial in the movie EuroTrip.  Several teenagers adventure through Europe and end up in Eastern Europe.  The place they end up is so far behind that commercial is still a popular catch phrase.  One company that has provided great commercials and plenty of pop culture references is Budweiser and Bud Light.  If it is not the Clydesdales, then it is dude, whazzup, or frogs.  Regardless of what it is, they are always memorable.
