My parents would say "Calgon take me away." anytime something stressed them out. I thought Calgon was a god, meant to take people away from bad situations. Took me years to figure out it was a damn soap commercial.
Omg I've been a hardcore lamb for 6 years but didn't know she mentioned it. Ironically enough I'm here just because I like watching vintage commercials too! 😭😭
Just gonna throw this out there but while she's in the bubble bath being taken away by Calgon, the kid is eating the dog, the phone is still ringing, and the dinner is burning.
No worries. She'd just need to rub some of the calgon soap on the dog and on the food and then dip the phone in the tub when and then like magic, everything will be like new.
OK! The whole 🏡 is on 🔥 while she's in the tub luxuriating 🛀🏼! That would have been a HI-LARIOUS MadTv sketch if she thought everything was alright while the entire house had burned down around her & the baby 👦🏼husband👨🏻, & 🐕, all covered in soot, were all standing around the tub 🛀🏼 while she's in there imagining everything's fine & dinner 🍽️ is done because the reason Calgon 🧴🫧 "takes you away" is because it's laden with hallucinogenic drugs 🧼☠️ that are absorbed through the skin 🤲🏻! Then finally you see the police 👮🏻♂️ REALLY "take her away" in cuffs while she's on a "trip 🤪" to the looney bin in the back of a squad car🚓 😆!
☠️⚰️! That should be their new slogan 😆!! If that was their new tagline, that product would make such a resurgence that they wouldn't be able to keep it on the shelves 🧴🫧🏃🏼♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏽♀️💵🤲🏻🤑!!
Meanwhile, the baby’s riding the dog, legs kicking, using the telephone cord for reigns! 😂 The “Calgon, take me away!” magical phrase never worked for me. 😢 Once, I was in the line of the grocery store, and the baby kept crying, the kids were chasing each other in and out of the line-I thought I was going insane! 🤪 When I screamed, “Calgon, take me away!,” everyone within earshot stopped and looked. FINALLY, their mother got them under control!!!😂 (Only in my mind….😊)
Think this is a shortened version....pretty sure there is a longer one where the husband says " The boss is moving us, So? "....son says " She hit me first "...daughter says " Daddy let me "...and the dog is barking...pretty sure lol
My 9th grade science teacher 👩🏼🏫 used to say this when the students would start working her nerves 🤣! I wanted to tell her: "Girl 🙄🤦🏾♂️ . . . ALL you gotta do is put some 'sass 😤☝🏾' in your voice & tell these bad-a$$ teenagers 👨🏻🦰🙎🏼♀️ to sit they a$$es DOWN 👇🏾🪑🤨!" But given it was a private, Christian ✝️ school, that probably wasn't the best option 😏.
