Here we have a 1989 Diet Coke commercial featuring some notable NFL players of the day. I can make Ronnie Lott, Boomer Esiason, Warren Moon, Al Toon, Louis Lipps, Eric Dickerson. I’m not sure about the rest, one of the guys at the end looks like my mailman. This could be a case where anonymity has its advantages.
Our younger readers might not remember, but back in the 80s everyone drank straight out of 2-liter bottles. No big deal.

beautiful
Make it snow just made me laugh!
John Offerdahl, by the way, is now a bagel mogul in Miami. Which is like Randy Moss becoming the sushi king of Tokyo.
i’m guessing it was a southern Ohio newsfeed (Ch 22 or 12) since they came on specially at the end of the Coke commercial to say “for Bengals fans, it’s Boomer’s baby” and Buddy’s Carpet Barn was definitely a common commercial in that area
Buddy’s Carpet? Those motherfuckers pulled up a company van, picked up a big piece of carpet I had put out in the trash cause my dog gave birth to 8 puppies on it. I always wondered what there face looked like when they opened up that shit,after it had been in the sun all day.(I thought they were only here in Cinci.) Nice Boomer scene though.
/thats what she said
/sorry he came late
am i the only one who thought the Sports Illustrated (and yes, i cannot wait for the women of the 90s), BUD, Bold Hold and Buddy’s Carpet Bard were ALL better commecials?
Im guessing this was a Chicago area-NBC feed
Nothing is as bad as the “Baseball Boogie” by the LA Dodgers. Look it up if you want to see Orel Herschiser rapping….
What the hell is goin’ on out there?!?!?!?! Love the move because that means I can access the site from work. I guess that means I’ll have to keep the site refreshes low so as not to arouse suspicion from the IT nazis.
“They just saw an amazing videocassette…”
I did not see any of my favorite pro bowlers on there. No Walter Ray Williams, no Dick Weber…what gives?
/Shows self door
Whoever did the sports illustrated / valtrex mash up is one hell of a video editor.
Oh, that was just for SI? Huh.
Isn’t that douche Bosworth in there too?
the acting in the mj “come fly with me” sports illustrated spot is absolutely transcendent.

When I read “Pro bowlers prance about empty stadium,” I thought this was about the Pro Bowl.
About three or four commercials in, there is the Bud commercial that was the inspiration for the Schmidt’s Gay Beer SNL ad. Brilliant!
BTW, the last two linebackers are John Offerdahl and Shane Conlan.
/Yes, I am a Bills fan.
What the hell is uproxxx?
What’s going on here?
/didn’t get a cellphone until 2005
“After the first 30 seconds, you’re on your own.”
I said the same thing to my ex-girlfriend.
I would totally bang that chick from the “Bold Hold” commercial.
i’m scared and confused and maybe a little aroused.
Uproxx.com?
So you’re going full-speed with the gay porn angle now? Good to know.
Sharp look to the site boys.
I think we’ve got Jay Hilgenberg, Gerald Riggs and Shane Conlan involved as well.
What the hell? Were you just taping the Nick at nite shows in my Grandpa’s basement? I think I can hear him snoring in the background. He’s sure to have his pants off…
This is more embarrassing than the Bears’ “Super Bowl Shuffle.”
