  • Al "Grandpa Munster" Lewis asking kids to join his "Jr. Vampires of America club" aka a 1-900 number. Just about every unscrupulous semi-celebrity had their own toll line back in the late 80's.

    the discerning viewer will note the word "munster" is never spoken in this ad
    this is a distinct and separate character from grandpa munster simply named "grandpa" who just wears a vampire costume because he's like that

    I called the Corey Haim one and the Freddy Krueger one and some others. Don't forget the dirty 976 numbers too. I charged like $130 which back then was ALOT. My dad was so livid! My grandma and mom tried to tell him that I did not know any better and he said I knew better to call the numbers lol. It was 1987 and my punishment was no Nintendo for three weeks or a month and no television for two weeks. In the '80s that was basically worse than death to an eleven year old. I never called any of these numbers again. 😂😂😂

    Please come Visit Me, dawg
    Well back in 1912, I could kick your ass
    I did the tango and the foxtrot before it got banned
    There was ragtime and jazz before there ever was rap
    Now I'm trapped with a colostomy bag in my pants
    I just rap just to get by
    Now I'm kicked to the side
    Sucking blood from the back of my neck, I recollect
    Suffer jet, just to get
    In my himley. Oh, himley, I think you're better with me ... OH!
    So I got liver spots bigger than Dalmatian dots, I'm all alone,
    won't you come visit me, dawg?
    Please come visit me, dawg.
    The residue of many, who are about to die
    Emitted from Tragic Castle which I now reside
    Please come before seven, that's when they close the blinds
    Strap me down, steal my watch, which is no surprise
    I suck apple sauce from a bendy straw
    When I poop, all the nurses come in and applaud
    I use to slap at their...
    Bowel trouble, yo. Stool sample. Soft and loose,
    soft and loose, you got to give me the juice, the Metamuce
    Roll me, Homie
    My hips all bony, I getting sores, I getting lonely
