commercial by Abel and Associates. I especially like the music which is a mish mash of Philip Glass and some lively metallic funk

I was the actress in that commercial. It appeared during the Super Bowl. Would love to have a digital copy. I also was in one for the dishwasher but I can only find the shorter one called Son of Beep there is a longer one with three people in it. That also appeared in the Super Bowl.

+Nigel Sullivan I like your comment. Besides, If you look at the GE logo really hard, it almost looks like 2 intertwining d👩👯👱s!!

What gets me the most is the wife ducking under the phone cord... We did that same thing all the time back in the '80's.. We didn't know different back then.. It was normal. Long before cell phones! God I miss the old days!

But cell/mobile phones came out in 1985, and in car phones 1983! So very confused.

@@musicnerd72 If they never of became popular in the 80's, then they wouldn't be in pop culture from the 80's in TV documentaries/Radio interviews etc I remember the TV adverts as a kid, always mentioned on Teletext/Ceefax, posters on Buses/Trains, Music Videos etc I remember queueing for bloody ages with my dad outside Dixons to get his Motorola 8000X in the Summer of 1985! Would see people in the street with them, obviously nowhere near as many as now as even little kids have them but still! So I'm not a little off with the time frame at all. Even in the new TV series Gold that was about that bank Robbery it showed the car phone being used as it is in pop culture my uncle David had one of those in 1984. My uncle who worked dumping waste got the Nokia City-man in 1987! So again they were popular and also if they weren't companies like Vodafone, Nokia, BT etc would of gone out of bizz after a few months!

When I was a child, I was afraid that the crystalline GE logo would trap me in a giant crystal like a fly encased in amber. Am I glad that I got over that fear.😲😵

Yes, still a time when American companies offered a variety of useful items for the home, and some of it was still made here to. G-E still markets phones! I have a G-E answering center that is eleven years old now, it's design still looks cutting edge and works great, 32 number memory,speaker phone, hold, redial, talking alarm clock feature and a digital answering machine all included. I can even record a phone conversation, lol !
