Michael Jackson in advertising

June 29, 2009 5:21 PM

In honor of the King of Pop, we've pulled together our top five favorite commercials featuring Michael Jackson. In addition to his many, many other talents, the man could really sell some soda.

In this 1984 spot, Michael shows a young Carlton Banks (oops—we mean Alfonso Ribeiro) how it's done.


Here's an old-school one—Michael and the rest of the Jackson 5 help the kids of America learn to spell with cereal.


Michael made a fantastic California Raisin. Being made of clay really allows for some amazing dance moves.


That's awfully formal eveningwear for riding on a scooter, but honestly, who cares?


And lastly, we have the epic Pepsi campaign called "The Chase," in which Michael goes to extreme measures to outrun a screaming crowd, only to end up back on stage in front of them.

"But there's no way I'm giving up that teriyaki burger. I allow myself one every eight years. This one was for my 24th birthday. It was very special."

We really miss Crazy Eddie. Who will help us beat the heat now? Who?! Crazy Gideon probably smashed all the electric fans in his storeroom.

Why doesn't the Tiddy Bear look happier? He has the best job EVER!

Ah, yes, just what every mother hopes for when it comes to Mother's Day gifts. A pair of aptly-named panties that make you think of soggy slugs. Perfect!

It's hard to tell what's being advertised here. Certainly not acupuncture. Reflexology, perhaps?

Carl's Jr. is on a roll! And, uh, so is that spicy burger. You know. A hamburger roll. But we meant it's on a roll, like, its commercials are funny.

Other ways guys do fancy: Brushing their teeth. Wearing shorts with no cargo pockets. Drinking beer from a glass instead of the can. Any special lady would be lucky to experience that kind of class.

While slightly horrifying, this ad does grab your attention much better than Good Ole Tom's ads. Tom would probably take issue with stealing your mother's gold teeth. Scruples are so boring.

So, does this mean we don't have to wash our hands anymore? Because, honestly, we stopped doing that years ago, anyway.

The hot pink Vitamin Water is much manlier than those Flintstones vitamins Dwight was taking before.

Because the Internet is CONFUSING, and the only way to explain confusing things is through magic. And wrathful deities.

This guy has been on the carnival circuit for a while. His last girlfriend only walked on her hands, so he's not really into faces, anyway.
