  • Coca Cola commercial from 1979 depicting an athlete (Mike Lookinland) preparing to head off to the 1980 Summer Olympics. This commercial aired in September of 1979, six months before President Carter boycotted the 1980 Olympics.
    Also, is it credible that Mike Lookinland (aka "Bobby Brady") could be an olympic athlete? I mean, mom always said that he wasn't allowed to play ball in the house...

    Coke ad voiced by Peter Thomas, probably best known now for "Forensic Files."

    This commercial shows that simplicity is and will always be the key of happiness, no matter of special effects, photoshop corrections, dolce&gabbana glamour and all of the shit we are aiming to nowadays. The more ads wanna show how good their products are the more stupid and boring they get. In the past, I used to watch ads but nowadays I always avoid them

    @GhostsonAcid Thanks for the update Joe. And when you find me in the school pictures...be kind..i was goofy looking...lol. Thank you for getting the word to your dad. Very nice of you. Thank you for the correct spelling of Terese's name (My bad). Your dad use to live near or on a very cool street all us skateborders loved because it was so steep. I took some serious tumbles on it many times. I want to say the street was "Myler" or something like that, but my memory is a little cloudy on it.

    And in the next year's Olympics, the US Hockey team BEAT the Russians to take the gold in the upset event of the year. There were other glorious moments, but none quite like that. The movie, "Miracle" with Kurt Russell and Patricia Clarke, gives so much insight into how the coach led them to that point. The Russians had taken the gold every Olympic season since like 1960. Their team was absolutely fierce, domineering, and skated onto the ice knowing they were going to win. We had the takeover of our embassy in Iran. Gas lines and shortages. People were unhappy with so much. The US Hockey Team restored some of our pride. Great movie to watch.

    @GhostsonAcid If he needs more info, My name is Brian Lucey. The school was Taper Elementary in San Pedro, California. He even invited me to his birthday party way back when. All i remember is i had to wear a suit which i hated and i had a big crush on his sister, i believe her name was Teresa? He was always very cool and never any 'Star" attitude. Please give him my best.

    I don't think it was a bad choice. I thought he was good for the commercial. In fact, most child actors end up broke, which is really sad. They work hard and yet don't get the money they deserve.

    So, they never SAY "American", yet bothered to reflect an American flag in the windows of a departing....TRAIN?!? In America?!? The United STATES of America. Not even mentioning that it's clearly not an Amtrak train, and with those open side windows, not a train operating in North America. Pretty shady and clever how Coke covered all their bases with just the one commercial, for a 1980 Olympics in Moscow that the USA boycotted anyway.
