    Those weren’t from the '90s? Am I so old that I’m now conflating these decades?

      They continued into the '90s, but they started in the '80s. The whole two rich people riching at each other is a very '80s esthetic.

      Yes, and I’m sorry. I’m also right there with you.

      Also, don’t forget to take your medication this evening.

      They were referenced in Wayne’s World in 1992 and I’m guessing that they were at least a couple of years old by then.

        Yup, you’re right. I was actually pulling up to people in traffic and asking them this in '92. Because I thought it was hilarious.

        It still is, but it used to be, too

            Also some ad campaigns just lasted forever hell some just updated the commercials on occasion. You can now hear the Empire Carpet jingle.

              I’m pretty sure they revived the ad campaign in the 90s
