The last time as I remember seeing these ads was that I was a kid less than 10 years old and me,my mom and dad,my sisters,and our cousins were in Baltimore at a drive in and we saw Food of the God's and Frogs starring Sam Elliott. This brings back those memories.
4:19 An instrumental version of the famous "Feelin' Free" Pepsi jingle. It was composed by Ellen Starr and Joe McNeil, and Barry Manilow, of course, sang on a version of this jingle.
Imagine going to the drive- in in 1978 and during the intermission they play a Devo music video for their version of Rolling Stones' Satisfaction . it freaked the s*** out of me
The "PIC" commercial actually creeped me out as a child lol just scary looking bugs lol now i love it its a classic! I really enjoy watching these thanks!
I didn't even know about the PIC commercials until I started getting my VHS copies of Something Weird Video's "Hey Folks! It's Intermission Time" series.
I remember being so stoned sitting in my car that these ads were the only that could get me to get out and walk to the snack bar with a bad case of the munchies. Sometimes it took me a half hour to find my way back to my car.
Nice Sprite ad! Oh man...... It is nearly impossible to find Sprite ads from the 60's to 1972... The oldest I can find is from 1979.... (One more thing: I found a Sprite ad from 1975.) ~Yule
2:12 sounds like Manhattan Research produced the sound for the commercial. Raymond Scott synthesizers were used in commercials. He would record all these weird sounds, then speed up the tape to make it sound even more insane.
I wonder if the trippy pepsi ad was illustrated by Peter Max as he drew all or most of the Beatles Yellow Submarine movie from 1968 looks just like it! Hes always been my favorite artist! Him and Roger Dean that does the illustrations for the rock group "Yes" albums
Was the animated segment around 4:40 done by the same animation company as did The Yellow Submarine? The style, animation, and artwork is incredibly similar.
I have never seen the "It's Intermission, Intermission" before. I know it was filmed in Phoenix AZ. The round concession stand was built by the same people who built the Stadium Drive-In in Orange California. Did you scan the 35mm film?
Oh, how I wish that "Let's All Go Down to the Lobby to Get Ourselves a Treat" be part of one of the segments on one of those dvd's which is (or was) entitled "A Salute to Movie Theater Ads & Intermissions from the 1930's to the 1990's." What do you think about that, eh?!
The Intermission musical at the beginning is about as bad as it can get -- but what can one expect -- it was clearly made in the late 70s or early 80s.
0:00 A couple works at a drive in and turns the snack bar into some sort of party 1:13 Pocahontas kills a pig and turns it into a BBQ sandwich 2:12 A literal STOMACH talks about pizza. WTF?! 2:55 Is it the 4th of July? Didn’t think so. 3:18 Mosquitos get killed by an outdated mosquito coil. Just spray yourself with Off. 4:18 Peter Max tries to tell me to eat at the concession stand. No thanks. 5:00 Same deal 5:42 Food can dance? Smh 6:18 Leave it to the farmer to get me a coke. 6:47 Sprite? I wish. 7:41 Same thing, but that’s so damn catchy. 8:14 Now we’re in the Wild West? Where the hell am I going? 8:42 I’ll get a banjo some other day.
4:17
- Pepsi: Dude, we need a trippy ad. How much stuff you need?
- Animator: yes.
Hell of a time for an acid flashback.
I wonder how the adults took this type of psychedelic ad back then. Maybe by the late 1970's it seemed passé and harmless.
The last time as I remember seeing these ads was that I was a kid less than 10 years old and me,my mom and dad,my sisters,and our cousins were in Baltimore at a drive in and we saw Food of the God's and Frogs starring Sam Elliott. This brings back those memories.
That Tony's Pizza ad must have been the most normal one of the mid 70s. As a side note, the first one was from 1978-80.
Rodrigo Araya YUM!
I was sufferin' from the pizza cravings...
Yummy!!!
agreed

Wow!
4:18 the acid finally kicks in!
+germanicus fink
Definite Peter Max influence.
jonathan k80 I know you're thinking "Yellow Submarine" but Peter Max had nothing to do with that.
+jonathan k80 Or the music sounds like the theme song of Barney Miller. Have you seen episodes of Barney Miller?
Peter Max rules!!!
The "PIC" commercial actually creeped me out as a child lol just scary looking bugs lol now i love it its a classic! I really enjoy watching these thanks!
I didn't even know about the PIC commercials until I started getting my VHS copies of Something Weird Video's "Hey Folks! It's Intermission Time" series.
How about Drizzle Guards?
LOL, this is fantastic. Before my time but I'm loving it.
that Sprite commercial..i may never recover
4:04 had me howling with laughter!
“SeE wHaT EyE mEeN? bYe!~” (drops dead)
Most of these I've never seen before! Thanks man!
A lot of good ones here.
A few I had never seen before.
That first guy right at the start is my hero.
I remember being so stoned sitting in my car that these ads were the only that could get me to get out and walk to the snack bar with a bad case of the munchies. Sometimes it took me a half hour to find my way back to my car.
Wow, that's impressive! You must have really been grown up.
First one looks more like the 80's to me.
Nice Sprite ad! Oh man...... It is nearly impossible to find Sprite ads from the 60's to 1972... The oldest I can find is from 1979....

Yule Cristobal That better NOT be Raina Telgemeier's style!
Wowsers!!!
The music from 2:55-3:17 is called "The Hurry Up" by Kenny Graham.
Yes, one of my favorite musical encounters among intermission ads. Groovy.
Groovy, baby.
2:12 sounds like Manhattan Research produced the sound for the commercial. Raymond Scott synthesizers were used in commercials. He would record all these weird sounds, then speed up the tape to make it sound even more insane.
Best music video
Yellow submarine anybody? That Pepsi ad!!!🤣😂🤣

Definitely inspired by Max, but if it were actually PM, they would have made a point somehow of highlighting the fact.
Whoa.
Peter Max was consulted by Heinz Edelman, who drew "Yellow Submarine."
4:18 As Violet Beauregard once said, "What is this, a FREAKOUT?!?" 😵
Was it’s intermission ad filmed at the Union City CA syufy drive theater?
Pretty wacky, those Drive-In ads from the 70's.
Was the animated segment around 4:40 done by the same animation company as did The Yellow Submarine? The style, animation, and artwork is incredibly similar.
No.
At 8:43, MY FAVORITE DRIVE-IN ADVERTISEMENT!!
Plushblue EP 4.83 is my favorite I remember that advertise at the drive in I used to go to in Downey CA that really brings back memories
Anthony Williams You mean the Coca-Cola ad with the banjo music?
Whoa.
Surely you jest.
Awesome 😜
GOALS!
4:17 Obviously influenced by Peter Max.
You got that right!👍
That's correct.
I have never seen the "It's Intermission, Intermission" before. I know it was filmed in Phoenix AZ. The round concession stand was built by the same people who built the Stadium Drive-In in Orange California. Did you scan the 35mm film?
I loved how that cow morphed into a hamburger, despite the fact the ad was indeed trippy.
I was thinking BECAUSE it was trippy.
My, oh my!!!
I wish they'd bring these back, especially with the really long movies like James Cameron's Avatar.
0:00 I like that song.
Talk about PSYCHADELIC and CREEPY. That Pepsi promo looks like it was made by the same people who made Yellow Submarine. lol
Reminds me of late 70s-early 80s Korean commercials
All these commercials remind me of boomerang
Barbaric!!!! 1:21
I seriously doubt this drive in movie theater had both Pepsi AND Coke.
The first clip looks like it was played between american graffiti grease and saturday night fever
Terrible. I hate it. Frickin' 80s crap.
You're the ones we want.
Whats the first one - it is my JAM!!!!
idk. But it’s intermission time. I’m gonna go get a *_h a m b u r g e r_*
Me too, yes.
the first one minute and twelve seconds screams 1981.
Time too smoke another joint
What is that secret sauce? The world may never know...
Some secrets should remain buried. 🔍
02:55
This looks more mid-1980s.
Is that Dan Aykroyd in the first intermission short?
And at 0:40, is Louis Armstrong in that part?
Since he died in 1971, no.
My, oh my!!!
I wish our drive-in snack bar was like the first video. It's dirty and smells like urine
Was that Andy Kaufmann in the first clip?
No, Jeff Altman.
Oh.
Interesting. You can begin to see the transition from sweet-natured advertising to a hint of increasing cynicism that dominates our world today.
What ever happened to "Let's all go to the Lobby!"
Tim Tipton It's removed from UA-cam since it's declared copyrighted material.
It also pre-dates the promos in this video.
I have seen plenty of compilations with it, you can hardly miss it if you surf these videos.
Oh, how I wish that "Let's All Go Down to the Lobby to Get Ourselves a Treat" be part of one of the segments on one of those dvd's which is (or was) entitled "A Salute to Movie Theater Ads & Intermissions from the 1930's to the 1990's." What do you think about that, eh?!
I want pizza SO BAD right now-
I just had some pizza right now
Me too.
I wuz sufferin' from the pizza cravings. But then I ordered some pizza (but not from Tony's).
Oh man, the Tony’s Pizza Craving Signals must’ve worked on you!

PEPSI TIME
Ah, the 70s. Even Sesame Street had animation like that. This is why we had no taste in the 80s - our eyes were broken.
Think so?
Yep.
The Intermission musical at the beginning is about as bad as it can get -- but what can one expect -- it was clearly made in the late 70s or early 80s.
Straight out of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
