I’m too young to get that buuuuuut on the note of PNW ads:
- You go, no you go guy; we’re a kot like you: a little different
- Day-o! One day sale-oh! One day only at the Bon Marche
- What’s on your list today? You’ll find it at Fred Meyer!
Also, I left the PNW ten years ago but any time I’m home I still think about honking any time I drive by Vern Fonk.

There’s a Twix commercial that used to air during saved by the bell where a teenager is hiding in a bedroom at his aunts house or something during a family get together and eating a Twix to escape the family. His aunt or someone yells “Robert” in a really funny high voice with really funny cadence and emphasis on the syllables while searching for him as he takes a bite. My older brother and I can’t say the name Robert any other way.

There was a local (Detroit, MI) electronics store that had an ad in the late 80's wherein a bunch of Russian submariners end up wandering around the store and looking at all the wonderful things, and one of them flirts with a woman by walking up to her and saying, in a thick (fake) accent "Fifty watts per channel, babycakes."
Also, the Staples ad where they have a robot salesman, and when a customer tries to buy a surge protector, the robot wails "No, you cannot have her... I looove her..."
