I was just talking about this place with some co workers. Oh man, what a great night, you don't see these clubs around any more for kids. .50 cent water with grenadine, Depeche Mode and Bell Biv DeVoe... hah ahaha....now you know. Fresh ironed Oxford Polo, untucked, and a Kool menthol in the back booth and finish the night with 20 of your friends winning the dance contest on the main stage. Take me back.
Hi, I'm Wilford Brimley and I have diabetes. It hurts me to pee and it causes me to be short with my family. I can't sleep at night. The other day, I stubbed my toe and took it out on the dog. Two weeks ago, I ran out of vanilla ice cream and struck my wife. Then I find out my wife's been dead for six years. Who the hell did I hit?
These vintage commercials are my favorite. No music, no sound effects, no jarring transitions. A simple pitch by a guy you’d want to be your grandfather.
Was there for the opening...came back a year later. Asked one of the shop guys how it was going because I hadn't been around for a year. He told me..."You're one of the few who came back".
Born and raised 5 minutes from there. It was a big thing until the blight of the surrounding neighborhood made people with the money to spend there afraid to go downtown anymore. It sat vacant for most of the 90s until Cosi opened up there.
He always seemed angry and mean to me.

Wasn’t there a skit where he spits out the oatmeal ?

Don't put too much sugar on your oatmeal, you don't want to get *D I A B E T U H S*
Thanks for sharing this. I worked at Portside from the beginning. What a fun place it was. Too bad it did not last
So wait, was the container of oatmeal 9¢ or was the single serving 9¢?
Oatmeal will give you diabeetus
The only man that can make oatmeal and diabetes hilarious
Full of glyphosates.
If only he stuck with Quaker Oats instead of icecream and cake. But now he is stuck with DIABEETUSSSSS! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
There's no accountability anymore! I have diabetes!
I always surprised he never gets oatmeal stuck in his walrus like mustache
It's over $5 now for the same oatmeal. It's ridiculous.
STEAMIN
Why do I feel like he's disappointed in me... this commercial is giving me daddy issues. xD
How are you gonna sell the oatmeal wilford? I’m gonna talk about nickels and pennies
Oh my god that's hilarious
Anyone have the original that appeared in the early to mid90s
This makes me crave oatmeal a lot. He makes it sound so yummy!
As of today, Walt, quaker oatmeal is too expensive
Not when you're making no bake chocolate cookies!!
I don't want to stay out here anymore. I want to come back inside.
That film was a Carpenter masterpiece. The next remake really sucked, imo. Why does Hollywood feel they need to do that?
Back from when they actually cared that children learned right from wrong.
It’s funny if you watch several of these commercials in a row. Because it’s like there’s this crazy old man who’s obsessed with oatmeal.
right? and he has a different family every commercial

We definitely need those old ad formats again
Is this Sammy Hagar?
It's pipin' hot and by God it's the right thing to do!
Before the hyper little girl
Always liked Wilford. Unfortunate that he didn't know, cereal spikes blood sugar.
Wilford Brimley, I salute you. Thank you for your service during the Revolutionary War.
Used to have this entire thing memorized when I was a kid!
This man will forever be a national treasure.
I wander what He (NAMED) his PeT ---MUSTACHE---- /// mAyBe "OTIS" for Quaker OATS:;-_-+_???????
I had 1982 wagon
Diabetus
I like that the commercial feels the need to tell you he is Wilfred Brimley
This is the first clip I’ve ever seen that featured Wilford Brimley but he didn’t mention diabeetus.
Diabeetus
It’ll cure your di-a-betus.
I thought this was Andy Reid.
Oatmeal truely is the greatest moral good in our society
kickass!!!
Was there for the opening...came back a year later. Asked one of the shop guys how it was going because I hadn't been around for a year. He told me..."You're one of the few who came back".
Scroll down to read the retarded "Diabeetus" comments by various morons.
I literally used to love that guy as a kid when I saw them on the oatmeal commercials God rest your soul Wilford
Born and raised 5 minutes from there. It was a big thing until the blight of the surrounding neighborhood made people with the money to spend there afraid to go downtown anymore. It sat vacant for most of the 90s until Cosi opened up there.
this commercial says eating oatmeal is a moral imperative. That's bold marketing right there.
Great option for when you've got the diabeetus
RIP and we'll remember you on oatmeal, diabetes, Cocoon and The Thing.
Oatmeal gives ya diabetes 😮
