Talk:Chronological List of Commercials

From Muppet Wiki

Is this list international?

It includes two non-American ads, yet it is categorized under "TV Commercials", which is strictly for American content. -- Zanimum 18:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

That's a good point. Should we make a new header here, or a list on a new page? — Scott (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Puerto Rico is part of the United States. I'd support moving the New Zealand one, though. -- Danny (talk) 01:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the New Zeland and German commercials should be removed. Are there enough other ads to support a Chronological List of International Commercials? -- Brad D. (talk) 21:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know. What we have are already listed at Category:International Commercials. So either a list can be constructed from that, or really, just put a See Also on this page that international ads aren't being included. Since I can't recall how precise the years were on some of those (there's also a series of Statler and Waldorf spots for a German bank which I'm still trying to research), the latter might work best. Either way, I agree on taking them out of here. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I moved them. -- Danny (talk) 22:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

American Oil Motor Club

This sketch was included in some of the press material[1] for Jim Henson's Fantastic World. The page says that this engine character, named Charlie, was made for an "American Oil Motor Club" commercial. There are no articles on the wiki about Charlie or American Oil Motor Club. Was he finished and used, or just an idea on paper? Any information on Charlie or American Oil Motor Club commercials? -- Brad D. (talk) 06:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

The client was actually American Oil/Standard Oil (whether or not a motor club played into the ads is unknown right now). He's half of Clyde and Charlie. The sketch is also in Jim Henson's Designs and Doodles (book), but nobody had felt up to scanning it. So this works. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Faygo Commercial

Now, maybe it's because I'm a Londoner... Oh, I mean maybe it's because I'm from England. But I do not know what Faygo is. All I know I've seen it a few times in images with Wilkins and Wontkins. Is this a real product? Ifso, It's not on the commercials page -- Warrick 10:55, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

http://www.faygo.com It's a brand of soda sold in the eastern US. --Erik Ebrowne 17:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes. But if they made commercials for them, Why have they never been listed anywhere? -- Warrick 09:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "never been listed anywhere." -- Scott Scarecroe 19:14, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I think Warrick means that they haven't been mentioned on any website anywhere -- Big V 19:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

In most released lists and footage they have never shown a FAYGO ad. -- Warrick 18:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
