Ronco Mister Microphone TV Spot - 1981 

Talk about a blast from the past. I recall this one when i was a sophomore in high school. This truly shows how old i am getting to be. Yessssh.

I thought the guy in the beginning was going to pull out a bag of coke from his jacket to get the party going

@SouthOCmixdown I loved that show! Fred Barry (Rerun) passed away a year or so ago. I miss these cheesy commercials. Yea for the Internet!

LOL@the guy dancing down the street that looks like Rog from "Whats Happening?" I thought I remembered seeing this commercial in the 70s too. Maybe I was wrong from being so young. Still, AWESOME TIMES!! =-]

Ok now back to Comedy Bang Bang

Holy flashback. I remember this ad .

Prices definitely went up since 1978 for these things.

That black dude was really getting his groove on.

I mentioned this as a joke to a co-worker and she didn't know what I was talking about. I'm now officially old.

I remember this cheesy commercial. Man it didn't take much to impress us back then.

On an old episode of the Simpsons, Homer buys Bart one of these microphones and re-enacts the "hey good-looking" line for Marge. Then Bart throws a radio down an old well and convinces the town that a kid is trapped in it (by speaking through the Mic and pretending he's the kid). Classic!

Connecting up a small homebrew microphone preamp to a commercial FM transmitter (like those used to play iPods through a car stereo) would be a pretty easy hack.

I would kill to see the "Inside the Eggshell Egg Scrambler" commercial from the same era.

Hey good-looking! We'll be back to pick you up later! Maaaaan, I almost died died laughing lmao lol

One of my favorite commercials

This is great, I think the simpsons did a spoof about this once.

awesome

and who do we have to thank for this,RON POPEIL,THAT'S WHO, THANKS RON,THANKS LOADS!!

@pitbullgirl65 Aww..sad. Lots of 80's stars gone now too(Laura Brannigan, John Parr, Corey Haim). Well, time moves on and Mr. Microphone still ROCKS!! LOL

I always wondered if they ever came back and picked up that good looking girl? ;-)

@MrDS67 BEST PICK-UP LINE, EVER!!!

I wish i was around for the 80's..

People were easily amused in the 80's.

The Simpsons brought me here because of Radio Bart.

Mr. Microphone works great at amplifying farts. Makes a great party starter. Fun for the entire family.
