The long lost cereal commercial for Kellogg's Corn Flakes has been found!

I’m happy for you Op. I know this has long weighed on your mind.

R1 Thanks.

This is the truth… *pulls out dentures*

Is that Nancy Giles?

Op that ain’t a wig. I know natural hair when I set it dear. Partially grew up in hair salon.

R4 Looks a bit like her, but I don't know/

It sounds like her voice.

R7 It does, but the face doesn't exactly match.

OP found the holy grail!!!!

Kellogg’s was ahead of their time with a 100% black commercial cast.

R10 Touche.

And oh how we doubted…

R11 You are not using "touché" correctly.

OP is like the Gap Playlists Guy, but for wigs. 😂

OP now that you've tracked that down, there's a song we've been wanting to find. We know no real lyrics, rhythm, beat, tempo, but it may or may not say something like "daaa, daannny booon, danny, danny boon.....tuh tuh, tuh tuh tuh tuhtuh tuh tuh tuhn tuhtuh"

Ok, keep us posted.

R12 You never believed me!

R14 DEAD. 😂

Ha! You showed us doubters for sure. Glad you found it.

R19 Aw thanks.

Where’d you find it, OP?

She snatched her OWN edges!

R21 Found it mentioned on this thread. Contacted the uploader and asked him to email me the video separately.

R22 Edges?

Better to pull off your own wig than have it snatched.

R25 And flushed.

Bad things happen to good people.

R27 What do you mean?

I'm amazed how good my memory is. The only things I got wrong were:

It was Kellogg's Corn Flakes not Total Raisin Bran

It was was from 1995, not 1997

She didn't hang her wig on the chair.

Other than that I got it right.

Confirmed: It was Nancy Giles.

On the Naked News variant, she removed her merkin.

"That’s me! Wow! I’m going to save that. Totally improvised ending and the director and clients loved it!"

^That's what Nancy said about it.

Now I know how Columbus felt when he discovered America

"Has been found"?

You make is sound miraculous when any one of you could have sent you the link, sister.

Oh, dear, for needless passive voice

r32/r33 where'd you see that?

R36 Here

Nancy Giles for new datalounge icon!

This reminds of a commercial I saw like in 1990for some sort of popsicles and there were cartoon spokesgirls for each flavor. they each individually sounded off and the last girl's flavor was chocolate candy crunch said in a very sexy over the top way but I haven't been able to find it.

She's definitely underrated

Oh I like her.

R40 Hot.

Rip that wig off, girl.

I was expecting some nappy ass hair sticking out of a cut-off stocking top.

Not worth obsessing over. She eats like a moron

OP. Thats a fabulous commercial. Very witty and fresh. I love her.

R45 I'd to see how you eat.

I’m glad to see this. I don’t remember ever seeing it before.

R48 it used to run on Lifetime on the daytime. I was amazed that it looked like her real hair.

Here she is as a co-host on "Fox After Breakfast" with John Salley.

More from Nancy:

Best part of the improvised ending was how angry the hairdresser was with me afterwards. I didn’t care - that was my first take and I had a feeling that was the one. The director was David Anspaugh, a film director who did the terrific “Hoosiers.” He’s the voice you hear talking to me.

Here she is in a Tums ad in 1997, with Joy Behar as the waitress. This was only a few months before Joy would join "The View". Sorry for the terrible quality, it's not my video.

Sorry Op but this is the ultimate corn flakes commercial.

I shit in that wig mere moments after she put it down.

OP, not gonna lie, you kind of worked my nerves on that other thread. I had decided you were just a troll, but no, you found the commercial and it actually is cute and memorable.

Kudos!

R55 Aw thanks.

The things of critical import to DLers.
