Coca-Cola - "Have a Coke and a Mean Joe Greene" (Commercial, 1980)

[@michellegriffin2788]

Love it. Puts me in mind of the Mean Joe Greene commercial from 1980.

[@sugarbear8567]

Never tire of this commercial --------best ever!!!!!!!!!!

[@thomasferrusi1345]

I don't care how tough any of us think we are. If this particular commercial doesn't bring a tear to your eye, then man you got no heart.

[@alfonsogreen2722]

1 of the greatest commercials of all time

[@alfonsogreen2722]

sesame street would do the same with gordon as the football player instead of coke the kid gives him the number 7

[@emmanuelwilliams6004]

💯

[@mackiepimo-jwjones3019]

When commercials used to warm your heart

[@cindythecatwoman1601]

This is one of the reasons I love the Steelers. They have great players on and off the field. This is a commercial you can feel good about letting your kids watch, not like today's Superbowl commercials.

[@goodee4451]

when I first saw this commercial it gave me a chill.i a good way

[@Price70]

One many don't get nowadays is how the image of Joe Greene back then was that of his nickname Mean Joe Greene. It would have been a great commercial anyway, but it showing the big mean football player smile and be nice to the kid, is what made it even more popular.

[@timothyconverse4932]

Still the best commercial there ever was

[@eurekasquared9853]

Best commercial ever!

[@rebeccajones5316]

The reason I am a Pittsburgh Steelers fan! I was a little girl when this commercial aired and I was hooked by this giant man and his kindness.

[@WarriorMigs24]

The greatest commercial Super Bowl ever

[@tech-gamer-ws8zd]

So epic when he's drinking the coke and the music comes on

[@VictorFrancoisEugene]

Best commercial of all time.

[@metalexileslive]

I got to meet Mean Joe at a Dave and Busters event and I can say he was extremely nice. The surviving steel curtain was there and it was a great eveny..

[@Emperor.Penguin.]

my dad is a Steelers fan and I bought him a Joe Greene away jersey (old school with block numbers), I can't wait to say "hey dad! catch."

[@tonyescobedo8931]

I have an autographed 16oz Tab bottle from 1979 when as a coca cola sales rep ,our company went to San Diego to see him in person and watch the commercial before it went national ~ it says Best wishes Joe Greene Steelers #75

[@paulajablonka9258]

I remember these!

[@melodysanger103]

HAPPY 71ST BIRTHDAY CHARLES "MEAN JOE" GREENE (SEPTEMBER 24, 2017)

[@tommissouri4871]

My Dad said, "You know, when that kid proudly shows it to his mother, she's going to say, 'Where did you get that smelly old rag?' and then throw it away."

[@mikes3827]

Only 100K+ views?? IMO, this is THE greatest commercial ever, and I say that as a Patriots fan. (BTW, who are the 10 heartless ppl that didn't like this??)

[@thomasferrusi1345]

liberal democrats. That's Who.

[@ronsadventures2007]

This commercial was so popular they made a whole movie about boy mean joe and the Coca Cola kid

[@thomasferrusi1345]

The Steeler And The Pittsburgh Kid

[@daminmancejin]

I miss this commercial

[@mikesnight1974]

Wow thanks Mean Joe lol clasic

[@amynotker7326]

God, Coke in a bottle... I almost forgot it wasn't just in cans. Tasted better from a bottle :)

[@Ricobaca]

Good ole days

[@randomgamerdude98]

Rico Baca they still sell it in bottles in some stores

[@Ole4735]

randomgamerdude98 cheep plastic ones

[@randomgamerdude98]

[@Ricobaca]

[@puddysue]

The best commercial ever!

[@billnaldrett6103]

Best commercial ever!!!

[@tamarastone7282]

I still sing that song today! lol I get the weirdest looks.......I love this commercial, its heartfelt

[@erikasteck9567]

agreed!

[@andrewyoung2796]

One of the best EVER Even the parody s were great

[@johnrieck1846]

Greatest commercial of all times

[@hotwax9376]

Coke should remake this commercial for the Super Bowl next year with Matt Ryan, where Tom Brady snatches the bottle right out of Ryan's grasp, drinks it all, then throws a deflated football to the boy.

[@annanicole1717]

HotWax93 go to hell

[@thomasferrusi1345]

that's harsh man...

[@salaamakbar3630]

awsome

[@christian5327]

I was 8 when I saw this commercial.

[@msmoonbeam91]

I tell this from when I was little.

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

Mean Joe was my favorite player as a kid, then Joe Montana and The Fridge

[@abc123thenwhat]

He was offered so much coke, but he didn't have enough jerseys.

[@Thejays91331]

HAPPY 74 BIRTHDAY MEAN JOE GREENE..

[@DougCeleste]

I cannot find the outtake with Joe doing a long and loud burp!!! LOL!!! And he said that he drank 20 bottles of coke and had TONS of gas after that along with highly elevated levels of sugar in his blood! YIKES!!! (He had the option of spitting out the coke but did not do that.)

[@agfagaevart]

He's lucky there was good ol' fashioned sugar in a coke back then. coz today the corn syrup or whatever they put in it now, would've finished his career!

[@joshuaramirez6969]

i would die for Joe Greene's jersey

[@David_R922]

Mean Joe looked about 50 in this commercial.

[@adrianeduardogomezsanchez1538]

that touched my heard

[@wilbertrobles1123]

Better times period

[@barbaraobach]

Pay Attention Pepsi : Coca Colas comercial with Football Star Joe Greene and child actor Tommy Okin, was among the greatest , if not the greatest commercias ever, they could act and had depth, the Pepsi commercial with the Jenner kid, who's nice but can't act , was awful

[@LiveINtheGood53]

Without question it was voted as the Best Super Bowl commercial.

[@martar.gaughen6078]

Tommy Okon...my relative. Thanks

[@SurgeCess]

10 people need to have a coke and a smile

[@Naminski1a]

This 1979 Coca-Cola commercial was taken from the commercial break of NASCAR on NBC.

[@phillies4100_mainsite]

+Naminski Nguyen Even my NBC station (WCAU) outdid themselves! They used a retro slide card with "NBC 10 WCAU-TV Philadelphia" on it!

[@Naminski1a]

phillies4100 Now that's old-school!

[@phillies4100_mainsite]

Naminski Nguyen I know! That wasn't part of the broadcast that was more of my local station's decision to identify that way during the race!

[@joelluis4988]

Yes I saw that commercial too! I've never expect NBC would air it but I'm glad they did

[@BigDavey]

Pepsi is better. Kid:"Hey Mean Joe, you want my Coke?" Mean Joe:"No, kid, I am a Pepsi guy. Where's moms and how did you get back here?"

[@thomasferrusi1345]

Whoa.... way to rain on someone's parade 😲 😮

[@se2702]

I don't even drink any soda and I'm going out to buy a case of Coke now!

[@KeifusMathews3]

all that missing is some peanuts in that coke..lol Thanks Mean Joe~

[@jamesbutler8821]

It would be funny if right after he threw it the kid said, "Ewww! I dont want your dirty laundry!"

[@tvtimetravel]

This was spoofed on "Sesame Street" with Gordon (Roscoe Orman) as the football player, and the boy asks him "You want my number 7?"

[@ameene]

game grumps got me here

[@freshafroman]

same

[@mapleva]

Anyone see the irony of a commercial on a commercial?

[@omegatiger8321]

Best sports commercial ever...

[@snarldarl]

Did this in 1974, in July!

[@FuriousMan226]

This was filmed in 1979

[@gameghost102]

still verry populer

[@harrytuttle8161]

Thanks to Obama we're along way from here .

[@elkoola]

Steelers Nation baby

[@Ricobaca]

Im that kid's age. Back then, i didnt understand why that boy was happy to get a used, dirty, oversized jersey.😅

[@Larry]

Would have been funnier if he threw the empty bottle at the kids head :D

[@Miketheman926]

LOL

[@hotwax9376]

Yes, but not nearly as heartwarming.

[@WritteninAsh]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@princessvictoriamousevires9355]

I want to see Miracle Paint why

[@barrydiamond5193]

Can any of you people spell.

[@Wellms]

[@skullmaster160]

[@Wellms]

[@skullmaster160]

[@rickmays797]

[@terrancew9056]
