Anyone remember Joe Jacoby and another Redskin hawking projection TVs? Or Muhammed Ali stumping for D-Con?

How about the little kid advertising McDonald's (I think?) with Jeff Bostic? "You can get a collectable figure, like Bostic here, with your happy meal." Or something like that. I just remember Jeff Bostic being referred to by his last name and growling as he charges the camera like a pit bull with a rash.

I have no idea who Jacoby is and when did Ali do rat poison?

It was for roach killer. (cue Ali monotone) "I'm the greatest...I can whip anything on two legs...but even I, the greatest, need help whipping things on six legs, I mean roaches..."

At least Levitra had the sexual metaphor of the fit-looking middle-aged guy throwing the football through the tire.
