Top 5 Classic Pinoy TV Commercials



old tv Top 5 Classic Pinoy TV Commercials“I remember yesterday, the world was so young”

In a country where television is the number one source of entertainment, tv commercials or advertisements outdo each other in terms of memorability, impact and sheer entertainment value. And somehow, people have associated a commercial to the time it was prominently shown on tv screens and the memories that came along with it.

Here are my top 5 classic pinoy tv commercials (in no particular order):

1. Bear Brand’s “Lola let’s dance”

I was around 6 or 7 yrs old when this tv ad became popular. I find it amusing and funny how lolo’s grand-daughters did some sort of modern dance steps while he was dancing the old-fashioned way.

2. McDonalds’ “Karen po”

This is one of the most heartwarming pinoy commercials of all time. We Filipinos are known to value family ties and this commercial hits the right spot in our hearts. However, upon watching and analyzing this video a couple of times, i got a little confused on its premise.

analysis #1

Lolo forgot how Gina and Karen’s faces looked like but his favorite grandkid is still Karen.

analysis #2

Lolo switched their names. He knows her (by face) as Gina.  He calls the real Gina, Karen. Therefore, her favorite grandkid is the real Gina and not the real Karen.

It is a little confusing, no? Your thoughts?

3. San Miguel Beer’s Sabado Nights

The tv campaign ad turned movie that catapulted Ina Raymundo to fame. Who could forget the nice, catchy tune of this commercial? Sabado Nights!!

4. Purefoods Hotdog’s Goodbye Carlo

I almost literally laughed my ass off when I first saw this commercial. This is one of the funniest pinoy tv commercials I have seen.

5. Mr. Clean’s Labadami

This commercial features a very effective jingle. I’m sure every Filipino, at least for once in their lives, have sang along to the lyrics, labadami, labango, labanayad din! :)
