I grew up thinking it was so expensive only the very rich could afford it. That was how I came to sample it. I told my parents if I were ever rich I’d buy that Grey Poupon so we could all try it, and they went out and bought a jar for me as a joke.
I remember one time, my mother came across a Rolls Royce, and asked "Would you have any Grey Poupon?". Without hesitation, the driver whipped out a jar.
special props to the suspension on that vehicle, my man had a legit 5 course meal in a moving vehicle and not even the wine was shaking haha...props to the skills of the driver as well haha
I love the idea that some dude is going to eat a huge full course meal in the back seat of his limo. Even stretch limos don't have a full kitchen, lol. The logistics of this would be a nightmare.
If I ever drive a Rolls-Royce, I'm going to buy little hotel service sized individual-serving glass bottles of Grey Poupon, and keep a pair in my glovebox to give away if asked.
Lol loved reading all the comments here. I’ve tried it too and got no response. Very likely it was what that last comment was. They thought I was saying something else lol I really was so taken with saying it from my childhood days … you couldn’t sound more posh than asking another car for grey poupon
Gen Xer here!!! Never got over these. Hilarious. Have even asked a person once at a light if they had any Grey poupon? And was delighted when the guy said, but of course!!
Ooooooh... now I finally get the Wayne's World's joke. Don't blame me, we never had that product (and of course neither the commercial) in my country. Another childhood's mistery solved.
The weirdest thing about this otherwise brilliant ad is that, for some reason, they really thought that "It Even Has Wine" was the right tagline to go with.
It's weird because what everyone remembers from this ad is "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?". No one gives a shit that it has wine.@@vicarious014
I remember when I was 13 and we moved to Hollywood from St. Louis in 94 and we were at a stoplight in Beverly Hills. We asked the car next to us if they had any grey poupon, and the mofo pulled out a jar of it.
I once saw one of my siblings weave through traffic just so they'd be alongside our mother at a traffic light, all so they could roll down the window and quote this commercial.
These commercials became so ingrained into the collective psyche, that Prinzing Motors used to actually mention a "complimentary jar of Grey Poupon" with their custom built classically styled cars in their old promotional video. Amazing! XD
I remember a later Grey Poupon ad where the man in the back was given a squeeze bottle of the mustard, when he asked the "Pardon Me", and when he squeezed it, it made a distinctive farting sound, whereupon the chauffeur glared at the man through the rear view mirror. That is where the rear passenger gasps "Pardon me!".
The best Grey Poupon ad featured Michelle & her friend at an outdoors bistro. Michelle was raving about the Grey Poupon in French, with her friend trying to interrupt. Finally the friend was able to interject (in a strong NYC accent) "Michelle! We're in Brooklyn!" The announcer voice-over was followed by a shot of two guys at the same cafe, with one guy loading up to rave about Grey Poupon and the other giving him a look that cut him short. Wonderful.
I just watched the Polaner All Fruit commercial, and of course, had to look this one up too. Ahh, the memories of thinking everyone was richer than me. When I saw this stuff at Shop Rite as a kid, I was like OMG we gotta get this. My mom was like, "We don't have Grey Poupon money. You better go over there and get that 79 cent No Frills mustard over there!!!" Ohh, the memories... One day, I'll actually buy it. But what if I'm disappointed?
In nearly fifty years, I have never been able to see or remember this ad without reflexively thinking, "Dude! It's Jason of Star Command!" I mean... apparently they need mustard in space too, I guess.
I remember thinking man that stuff has to be good. We went to Florida to visit family in the 90s and my aunt had it and we were putting it on our bologna sandwiches. Was pretty good.
Back in the 1980s we peasants just accepted the premise that rich people drove around in Rolls Royces eating a steak dinner with dijon mustard in the glove box, ready to loan out to our rich buddys at a stop sign.
I believe those are mid 60s Rolls Royce cars. When I first heard this in that movie Wayne’s World when they pulled up in the blue pacer (the mirth mobile) next to a rolls royce. I thought Mike said “pardon me do you have any great poop on?”
My dad came across a Rolls Royce once, and asked "Would you have any Grey Poupon?". Without hesitation, the driver whipped out a jar. Then a camera crew came out of hiding as if we were on an episode of Cheaters and my dad sped away!! 🤣
@@GGoAwayy Nothing wrong with gathering to give thanks for LIFE itself, plus every gift we’ve been given under the sun. Maybe one day you’ll see the value in that too.
@@Buildingup2020 Doesnt do much if youre thanking something that doesnt exist. I just appreciate things... without worrying about being sufficiently humble before santa claus. And it gives me more time to read science books and feel closer to the actual truth / reality.
Nice Rolls Royce but nothing beats the lugshurry of passing the grey pupon in a early 80s landow roofed Crysler LaBarron. Plus with a 90hp four banger doing 0-60 in just over 100 seconds its also a sleeper. Say it with me slowly to feel the lugshurry... LaBarron... LaBarron... Corinthian leather.
Fun Fact: the actor who speaks that famous "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon" line, is none other than Craig LIttler aka Jason from Star Command.
"It even has wine". Simpler times back then... I can remember when salsa wasn't a thing and we'd have friends in Texas send us some. You only got that stuff otherwise at Chi Chi's, which was once a year event lol
@@GGoAwayy it was more that the thought of salsa just wasn't a thing through the 80s. Yeah we had the ingredients, but nobody thought to put them together. Nowadays a bowl of mango pico is a staple in the fridge.
@@JB-mk4ry On the other hand... I bet nobody microwaves velveeta "cheese" (?) with a can ro-tel tomatoes/chilis anymore. Food really shifted around 2000 with tons of cooking shows on TV. Nobody had any idea we were eating trash food.

COS once you get your window 50 shades of Grey Poupon, it'll be hard to remove even with paint thinner, so...I would rethink my request before asking for Grey poupon mustard for my Checkers burgers while driving down 4th. Just thought I'd warn you!!! "
This hadda be pre-Cheers. Going to find year. Edit: Oh duh; it says it right in the title. Yep, a year before that face/voice would be a household name.
I kind-of want to buy a Rolls (I might actually be able to afford one today from this by-gone era) just so I could carry Grey Poupon in the glove box, hoping some days someone will ask if i have it. That gives me an idea 💡. The next time I see a Rolls in public stopped and the driver can hear me, I’m asking for Grey Poupon. Either that or I’ll carry a bottle with me in my 10 year old Ford crossover and offer it to them. Either way, it’ll be hilarious! “Pardon me, would you like some Grey Poupon?”
Take just a little drop of it and mix in with the mayo on your sandwich. French mayo has a bit of Dijon mustard in it already from the store. It’s very good in small quantities.
I asked someone at a red light this once and they just gave me the finger.
😂😂😝😝💕
Were you being driven in a Rolls Royce? If not then that was the proper response.
GOLD
What a low life that guy was! 😂
😂 lol
I grew up thinking it was so expensive only the very rich could afford it. That was how I came to sample it. I told my parents if I were ever rich I’d buy that Grey Poupon so we could all try it, and they went out and bought a jar for me as a joke.
Your parents spoiled you!
So did it taste good?
I imagine your response was “you guys are rich and didnt tell me!?”
Same here. I think it was the Rolls Royces that made me think that. Lol.
Some kids have champagne wishes and caviar dreams and others have their mustard goals.
Can we all acknowledge how surreal it is Grey Poupon's jar hasn't changed at all in 40 years??!
The Coca-Cola logo has remain untouched for far longer as well. Some things don't need tinkering!
Ew! Do they at least rinse it out?
We can acknowledge that begging for likes is cringe
Because it’s iconic and immediately recognisable. Why mess with a good thing? Unfortunately, some companies do.
The finer things in life never need to change. 🧐
One of the best ads ever made. We all still remember it years later!
I remember one time, my mother came across a Rolls Royce, and asked "Would you have any Grey Poupon?". Without hesitation, the driver whipped out a jar.
People must’ve asked them that a lot 😂
classic
No that didnt happen 😂
Where’s the proof fool?
@@delkor007Nahh I believe it
I always keep a fresh jar of Grey Poupon in the glove box in case I'm asked while waiting at a red light. You never know when someone's going to ask!
Unopened, or are you on a mission?
And a Glock 😂
I asked and when they gave it to me I smashed it on the ground and sped off 🤪
Keep dat thang on me

The tax money actually being used to fix the roads, instead of using it for weapons, or hyper inflated contracts also helps.

Ahh, the original Grey Poupon ad that started it all.
It's not the original advert this is, ua-cam.com/video/uwOCOm9Z0YE/v-deo.html
So THIS is where all the jokes come from!!
You know where else all the jokes come from? My mom!
I said “there’s the joke!” When he rolled down the window asking for mustard 🤣😂🤣😂

The weirdest thing about this otherwise brilliant ad is that, for some reason, they really thought that "It Even Has Wine" was the right tagline to go with.
And why is that weird? Wine is seen as a quality and sophisticated ingredient
It's weird because what everyone remembers from this ad is "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?". No one gives a shit that it has wine.@@vicarious014
Just bought Grey Poupon for the first time last week, and it is SUPREME!
I remember when I was 13 and we moved to Hollywood from St. Louis in 94 and we were at a stoplight in Beverly Hills. We asked the car next to us if they had any grey poupon, and the mofo pulled out a jar of it.
I once saw one of my siblings weave through traffic just so they'd be alongside our mother at a traffic light, all so they could roll down the window and quote this commercial.
Nobody knows what I am talking about at work when I quote this commercial.
If someone is maybe born starting in the 2000s they probably won’t get it
These commercials became so ingrained into the collective psyche, that Prinzing Motors used to actually mention a "complimentary jar of Grey Poupon" with their custom built classically styled cars in their old promotional video. Amazing! XD
I kinda want to buy an old Rolls, turn it into a drift car, and ask Gray Poupon to sponsor it 😂.
That’s a killer idea
I remember a later Grey Poupon ad where the man in the back was given a squeeze bottle of the mustard, when he asked the "Pardon Me", and when he squeezed it, it made a distinctive farting sound, whereupon the chauffeur glared at the man through the rear view mirror. That is where the rear passenger gasps "Pardon me!".
This is a fine condiment.
FOR ME TO POUPON!
TRIUMPH!
I can’t afford the gas for my Rolls anymore…But still rocking the Grey Poupon!

The one that started the madness!
(SpongeBob narrarator voice) - "AHHH There is nothing better that the taste of Grey Poupon."
A coworker asked did I have a copy of a pamphlet. I said "but of course" using my Grey Poupon accent 😂
I know I'm not the only one when I was a kid I hope to be rich and bougie when I first saw this commercial aired

"pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?????" xD
such a random question in hindsight
I’m watching this because of superstore
lol same
Yes. This one. I'll stick with this one as my choice. This one shall be my favorite Grey Poupon commercial.
When i was a kid i thought that only rich people ate this
I just put it on a fish stick. Freaking amazing!
@Gale Drive It's no longer peasant's food after being touched by Grey Poupon.
Fish sticks?! Are you that "Pass The Jelly" hillbilly? 😆
I put grey poop on my food. So delicious! 😂
Yo, I'd try that on a corndog! 😆
It even has wine!
Sometimes I keep gloves in my Grey Poupon compartment.
It's funny how the two in the backseat went back to driving their Datsun and Concord after this commercial
One of my favorite mustard ads and yes I do like that mustard to this day, I love mustards of all kinds!

When I picked up a packet of Grey Poupon from my cafeteria, I felt so fancy, like ask Jeeves.

Al bundy has a great grey poupon scene.
Oh yeah. Went exactly like in Wayne’s World.

It’s an old famous commercial about Grey Poupon mustard..
Nice Rolls Royce but nothing beats the lugshurry of passing the grey pupon in a early 80s landow roofed Crysler LaBarron. Plus with a 90hp four banger doing 0-60 in just over 100 seconds its also a sleeper. Say it with me slowly to feel the lugshurry... LaBarron... LaBarron... Corinthian leather.
So how many jars of Grey Poupon do I need to chug to get completely shitfaced drunk
That sad little salad with one tomato. Looks like an in-flight meal.
The music is Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #4
Anyone else brought here by Wayne’s World? 😄😄😄
That would've been a cool John Lennon commercial, since he had a Rolls Royce. He could've played either part 😂
So my neighbor and I are at the CVS drive thru pharmacy and we asked them if they have any Grey poupon 😂😂
Anywhere drive through Grey Poupon Challenge!

How times change. Now I have bought Grey Poupon Dijon mustard at the .99¢ store.

So in 2024 do rich people still drive around eating mustard? Or...

Grey Poupon
*Grey Poupon who?*
YER MOM XD
I've never actually tried this is it any good?
Tangy and kinda gross, to be honest.
(You're supposed to spread it thin and not glob it, I suspect, but that's just my opinion)
It's actually pretty good to use in tuna salad.
Well, it's made with white wine, so ummmmmm I dunno. Try it and see.
Take just a little drop of it and mix in with the mayo on your sandwich. French mayo has a bit of Dijon mustard in it already from the store. It’s very good in small quantities.
Jebus. It’s just MUSTARD.
But the marketing was simple and it worked. A piece of art. Fancy mustard with a simple ad.
I’m just here for the comments 😂😂😂
Epic work! What agency?
Never keep mustard in the glove box, I say.
