Does anybody have/remember this commercial for Total Raisin Bran from 1997/98?

Hmmm.

Anybody?

[quote]at the end she takes off her wig and hangs it on the chair next to her.

Why would she do that?

R3 I wish I could remember.

I don't think that ever happened, doesn't sound like something to make you go out and buy the cereal.

R5 Sometimes I wonder if I dreamed it, because it hasn't turned up on YouTube. The attached commercial is similar.

Acid trip?

R7 Nah.

Interesting.

For years I thought there was a Home Improvement episode where JTTs character came out of the closet. I was certain this episode existed for years until some super fan of the show who had watched it religiously told me I was wrong. It’s weird how we remember false things.

That actress looks like Wallace's mom from Veronica Mars.

R11 Nope, not Erica Gimpel.

Bump.

[quote] Why would she do that?

So I could [italic]shit[/italic] in it!

OP, are you the G*p Playlist psycho?

I tried to search for this on Google, and the only results were all the other posts you've written in the past, asking about this commercial.

Have you ever tried Reddit's Tip of My Tongue group? Alternately, you could be confusing a real commercial with a spoof you saw on SNL or MadTV.

R16 No, I remember it airing in late 1997/early 1998 on Lifetime.

She took her wig off, OP? What was under it? Jada Pinkett Smith style?

Maybe you misremember the cereal. Fred Flintstone took off a wig in a Fruity Pebbles commercial!

[R19] again - it was actually Barney who was disguised as an Asian woman and took off the wig.

Could be. General Mills was giving away free Korean wigs in cereal boxes at the time.

What is this weird obsession with wigs?

Are you sure it wasn't a MAD TV parody?

That would be a hilarious but bizarre commercial.

Mandela Effect, bitches.

What I hated about raisin bran commercials was the false advertising that this thing retained its crispiness, like cornflakes, whenever mixed with milk. The second the milk hit that thing it became a soggy, mushy mess. Ugggh! Hated reason bran

Damn R25 beat me to it by 5 minutes.

What was the point of her taking off her wig? Why was she in a restaurant, and not her own home like the other Total Raisin Bran commercials?

R27 They were trying different things?

Bump.

No OP but suddenly I have to run to the bathroom

R28, that doesn't make a lot of sense.

What has your life become?

Don't listen to these idiots. I totally remember and can see it in my head. My roommate was obsessed with it because he was a big Nellie Queen and that was around 97 to 99

R33 Who's Nellie?

R34 hahahaha.

Wasn't it a Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial?

Hmmm

Bump.

Why was she in a restaurant? And why did she take her wig off? And why would she take it off IN A RESTAURANT?

OP, do you always cut and paste from Lipstick Alley?

R39 Maybe it wasn't a restaurant and he's misremembering.

Yeah okay R41. Brilliant contribution to the thread. And maybe she didn't take the wig off and maybe it wasn't raisin bran and maybe OP is nuts. Maybe this is all a simulation and none of it exists.

R42 Wasn't it a Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial?

R40 Just looking for answers/

I swear there are poster here paid to generate content and they just cut and paste from other sites. You see it daily here now. F&F OP.

OP has posted 20 times to this thread.

Does Muriel pay losers like OP to post this cut and paste crap here? Who else would pay people to post such mundane crap?

Looks like I may have misremembered. Somebody claimed that this was a Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial, and it was from 1995. Can anybody verify?

Hmmm.

Crack was whack, right OP?

R51 Heh Heh.

OP, I totally know that commercial. The actress sings a song that goes something like...

"Dany, Dany Booooon. Dany Boon. Tuh Tuh Tuh Tuh Tuh Tuh Tuh."

It was from 1997, it was 1995. She was in a salon, not a restaurant. It was Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

[quote]Looks like I may have misremembered. Somebody claimed that this was a Kellogg's Corn Flakes commercial, and it was from 1995. Can anybody verify?

"Verify?"

Who do you think posts here? Kellogg's fact checkers?

You never know.

I don’t remember a wig but I remember yelling at Total ads with their 100% RDA of vitamins garbage, as if that nutrition was naturally occurring and not a ground up vitamin pill.

I wpuld not abide them slandering my beloved Shredded Wheat!

Here OP, watch this while eating your cereal tomorrow.

heh.

It wasn't a restaurant, it was the set of "Family Matters." It wasn't Total Raisin Bran, it was Slinky ("it's fun for a girl and a boy!"). It wasn't a wig, it was a pair of Dingo boots.

Ah Urkel.

Wasn't this commercial posted here a few days ago?

Wasn't it a man, not a woman? He was Asian and it was at the Zoo, he took his coat off instead of a wig, and it was for car insurance not Kellogg's corn flakes.

Can any advertising fact checkers verify?

It wasn't a woman or an Asian man, it was 7 multiracial school children, they took their shoes off not a wig or a coat, it was filmed inside a Catholic church not a zoo, and it was for Hellmann's mayonnaise (or Best Foods on the west coast). It won a Clio. I remember it like yesterday.

Solved. You're welcome, OP.

It was for General Foods International Coffees. It was Alice Ghostly. She was in Nelson Mandela's cell and after she took off her Christmas tree skirt, he put it on. Then they danced the Hokey Pokey.

Commercials were much longer then.

It wasn't no wig.

It was a hair hat.

OP, you've got it all wrong. It was a Pepsi commercial starring Michael Jackson and his hair caught on fire.

I'm all alone in the desert, and then along comes a snake, rolling a big doughnut...

When she took off the wig she was totally bald, brave, and empowered about her recovery. At the end of the commercial it announced Kellogg’s supported breast cancer awareness.

Sounds like a skit on a tv comedy sketch show you’ve somehow false remembered as a real commercial.

Edith Bunker had to run out of a store while trying on a wig, and got arrested for shoplifting. I'm sure that's what you're thinking of.

Are you sure you're not thinking of The Naked Kiss?

Did she take off an entire wig, or just like a fall or a partial weave kinda thing?

R72 An entire wig. A bowl cut wig.

Was it like when those nerdy librarians remove their glasses and hair bun in slow motion, and turns out they’re a sexy chick in a rock video?

If it turns out you’re right I’ll eat my wig.

Are you sure it wasn’t a hair net?

R73 Did she turn it upside down and eat the Raisin Bran out of it?

R777 No she claimed she didn't know what she was eating.

OP you sure it wasn't Delta Burke in that funny scene from Designing Women where they're eating, and a drag queen is proving that she/he's really a man?

R79 Ha, love that. But no.

You probably had a '90s cereal commercial fever dream and your subconscious blended this Waffle Crisp ad (which features an old white woman removing her wig) with the Raisin Bran ads of the same era.

R82 No, it wasn't that.

Hmmm

It will turn up sometime on Youtube.

Hopefully.

R79 Classic moment.

Bump.

Well now.

Interesting.

OP, stop posting this stupid thread and seek help for your mental health problems.

37 replies from the OP, over 40% of the thread. F&F this garbage.

It's been found.
