The voiceover talent saying "When you absolutely, positively. . . " is Simon Oakland, who played Tony Vincenzo, the editor who frequently argued with Carl Kolchak in the tv movies and series.
The one I can’t find anywhere for the life of me is the 10 second spot where the guy is frantically licking the envelope shut... “You’ve got a lot riding on this letter, and you’re gonna hand it over to the post office? Federal Express has overnight delivery.”
1:52 - THIS COMMERCIAL....funny yet scary. Being harshly judged, scrutinized, reprimanded, and put on the spot IN FRONT OF EVERYONE LOOKING AT YOU.....this is one of those scenarios that many people with social anxiety fear. SHEER EMBARASSMENT AND HUMILIATION. This is a relatable and REAL-LIFE fear.
That's why it's hilarious! Just the thought of everyone in the company looking at that poor guy with an angry scowl makes you grateful that it isn't you!
The one I can’t fine is where the van is flying through the sky and it sounds like a supersonic jet. It shows the speedometer at 55 mph and the glass over it cracks.
Unless I'm mistaken, I vaguely recall a Federal Express commercial that shows a Fedex Truck deliberately driving off a dock and into the ocean and just ending that way. I wish I knew where to find that

Watching this takes your breathe away.
HERE'S YOUR LETTER, MR. BURNS!!!

#5 is my personal favorite: "Next time, send it Federal Express or you may never hear the end of it!"
Love the background music in the second one. Been looking for that track for ages

Very true, but it wasn’t until the 2000’s that people started realizing that.
And it makes you want literally shrink into nothingness out of pure shame!
