ah man. I randomly thought about this commercial and randomly typed in a search "DiDi Ah Yo" in youtube. glad someone uploaded this. this reminds me of ewa beach where i used to live. as a kid, i used to always quote her obnoxiously and my family would get irritated lol. I now live in san francisco. man, the memories.
"Hi I'm Didi Ah-Yo and away we go!" wow, I remember those commercials, that surreal sensation when you haven't seen a commercial in over 30 years but remember it...
Thanks for posting this. A lot has changed since the 1980s. To be honest, this is the first time that I have ever seen a 1988 commercial from Hawaii because I wasn't even born yet.
It's funny. I was living in Honolulu when this commercial came out. I can tell by the music that's on the commercial. I've lived in Hawai 3 separate times and I'm moving back in 2024 for a forth as a sixty-year-old man and that's where I'm going to die, even though I'm a white boy from New York, I always have had Hawai in my blood from January of 1984 when i arrived as a 19-year-old in the Army.
sister & i were bored kids in 1987, parents were workin so we called creative holidays after seeing the commercial. I asked for didi ah yo, the receptionist gave the phone to her. She sounded the same on the phone with that high pitch voice, then when she asked who's calling i quoted her with the exact same voice & tone 0:24 then hung up. Till this day almost 3 decades later, family would laugh when the topic is mentioned.
