Pete Rose Sings!! Aqua Velva Commercial 2-1976

Pete Rose sings in what is definately the best Aqua Velva commercial ever

[@jitsusoji]

I yell out this question at baseball games all the time, but these modern day players just ignore me.

[@adamsyed5535]

Yes, just Alice, Vera and Flo were running the diner that day.

[@Slickmickyoyo97]

I am sure utter mayhem ensued. And just an aside, 46 year olds indeed looked much, much older back then, I mean I am aging but I DO NOT look like Vic Tayback does here.

[@russellgrimes3491]

There’s something about an Aqua Velva man. One died at age 60 and aged badly and another is a disgraced MLB player.

[@privatepenguin3137]

I love that it's a stadium packed with 40,000 people...but Pete steps out of the box because Vic Tayback yells "Hey Pete Rose!"....what concentration!!! 🤣

[@jonasnight]

absolutely hilarious! Mel's voice is he most distinctive out of the four...this commerical cracks me up. Why don't they make ridiculous commercials like this nowadays?

[@danielj1642]

for some reason this commercial would be deemed mysogynistic, homophobic and probably racist today lol. I miss those days. hell I miss the way things were just before the smart phone!

[@frenchtoast9926]

Lol yes

[@nate_kang]

Pete Rose passed away today and for some reason this was the first place I came after hearing the news 😂😭 RIP to the hit king

[@WatchVenusSpa]

Love Pete or hate him has there ever been another one like him?

[@johnybaltimore3687]

rumor is that it was actually the Beatles.

[@rexbigonia]

Now I can die. Charlie Hustle singing with Mel Sharpels of Mel's Diner!

[@maxcohen13]

Mel must've had the day off from the diner that day.

[@Sparkina]

He must have needed the day off, being so stressed out. I mean, the customers were slamming his food, his mother was meddling, Alice was singing, Vera was acting like a dingy broad, and Flo refused to stow it.

[@maxcohen13]

Sparkina Flo was a handful. I _still_ have no idea what "Kiss my grits" means.

[@sherryhannah498]

@@maxcohen13 I think it's a nice way of saying kiss my a

[@heartwormskillcats8357]

Pete's hair looks like his helmet lol.

[@ljc820]

holy hell, that was funny. you can never have too much vic tayback.

[@JENDALL714]

Funny, now every time I see an old Pete Rose clip, it always reminds of that King of Queens episode where Carrie cuts her hair and Doug says she looks like Pete Rose!

[@nozcr]

Does anybody have the 1981 commercial where Pete Rose stops the ballgame to give the little girl from the Folger's coffee commercial a Nestle Crunch chocolate bar?

[@mcdonchris]

LMAO Vic Tayback? I never had a clue....Too damn funny.

[@steveb9151]

Pete shoulda yelled back to Mel, "Kiss my hits!"

[@Maxwell1901]

RIP Aqua Velva Man

[@ericsalomonsson4098]

Love Vic Tayback! Gone too soon....

[@leighburton832]

RIP, Pete Rose

[@palmerbailey4333]

Good stuff! Already knew Lloyd Christmas stole Pete’s hairstyle lol but then he’s got Costanza stealing his singing chops for his outgoing answering machine! Ha

[@johnlevalley521]

Mel bet the diner on Pete and the Reds.

[@ebf1957]

Little known fact. When Aqua Velva first came out, it was yellow before it was ice blue.

[@streetcarjay]

Pete Rose guest hosts WWE Raw. on Monday, March 22nd, I want to see his ass get kicked again by Kane!!!!

[@bcushing]

And he took a stink face from Rikishi!

[@hrtvfan2870]

Okay, Pete. How much do you owe your bookie?

[@ElTiant]

I guess I won't put him on there until it is proven he did not take him. As long as there is doubt. He dont make the list.

[@bcuppy]

Talk about a "moldy oldy" ! Don't hear much of Aqua Velva anymore. The gentleman in the stand that yells at Pete - Vic Tayback who played Mel from Mel's Diner from the Alice show.

[@lcvd1]

Yes, this guy is totally out of line putting this chip on Pete's shoulder. I am tired of hearing crap like this. I can't imagine anybody today or ever playing harder than Pete Rose did.

[@markofly76]

Pete Rose, hands down, SHOULD be in the HOF! If they let druggies (Lawrence Taylor), murderers (O.J. Simpson), and drunks (Babe Ruth, etc.)in there, why not Charlie Hustle?

[@bcushing]

I remember LMAO as a kid at this. Someone give Pete his Grammy!

[@reyybarra390]

After watching this commercial, Now I know the real reason why Pete Rose has been banished from the Hall of Fame!!!!

[@dwalex97209]

Yeah. And look what happened. Where's Simon Cowell when we need him (Vic sounds okay. It's Pete that can't sing).

[@em23]

I BET he got payed real good for this commercial...oh wait.

[@vpirates62]

that's an impressive list, no doubt..and pete wasn't a power hitter like some of those names, and that could be his only flaw..but being able to get on base, and drive in runs, hit doubles and triples, play remarkable defense and be consistent with staying healthy makes him invaluable. i'm just glad reggie didn't make your list..most overrated hall of famer if you ask me. i appreciate your list, good job.

[@MrTribefan68]

Didnt walk much.....low power.....overrated

[@vicepresidentmikepence889]

Pete Rose is in this commercial and most of the comments are about Mel🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@faffaflunkie]

I'd bet Pete Rose that's Vic Tayback singing in the commercial!

[@warlaker]

BUT, give 'em credit...they were real, and they had some fun.

[@jackiehallam62]

Vic Tayback died the year before I was born.

[@LolaCrazy222]

Where's Pete Rose now four years after this vid? Is he a has been?

[@mousstard]

That's why Pete got banned from the Hall of Fame.

[@plush1993]

he wasnt the greatest baseball player ever

[@Jiltedin2007]

Hasn't Pete Rose been punished enough?

[@Jiltedin2007]

Isn't the Baseball Fan Mel on Alice?

[@clearlycaribbeanreb2895]

Charlie hustle

[@RuudJH]

Cheap commercial for crappy stuff.

[@GotFlow5]

the popcorn guy has a nasty lisp

[@KeithFroehlich07]

Pete Rose and Mel Sharples!

[@stchman]

That was so terrible is was great.

[@streetcarjay]

Mel, kiss my grits! Says Flo.

[@TheMKEWERBY]

BE one!

[@ElTiant]

I'd say top ten ever are, 1. Babe Ruth 2. Willie Mays 3. Ty Cobb 4. walter Johnson 5. Hank Aaron 6. Lou Gehrig 7. Christy Mathewson 8. Ted Williams 9. Stan Musial 10. Joe DiMaggio Pete Rose would make top 20 though

[@MrTribefan68]

I miss JoJo Kracko

[@mxxjss]

Mel Sharpels sings!

[@johnlevalley521]

Stow it Petey!!!

[@penske369]

o dear god

[@loneshewolf74]

I just read that TLC is coming out with a reality show about Pete called -wait for it- "Hits and Mrs". Sounds like a documentary about domestic violence. Forget things like disease, climate change and zombies, I think all the new shows on TLC are the REAL signs that the world's coming to an end! D=

[@wallofvideo]

can you imagine if this happened in real life? btw does anyone know who plays the vendor and the ump? i don't think i've seen them in any other roles.

[@HoshizakiYoshimasa]

Get rose in the hall and keep Bonds, and the other roiders out. a man's personal life shouldnt ban him from the hall. ROSE PLAYED THE GAME CLEAN! Had Rose been a Yankee there is no doubt in my mind he would be in the hall now. Jeez, the east coast bais of the MLB sickens me.....

[@wallofvideo]

it's surreal how the 4 vocalists are in different places one second, then next second @0:10 they're all on the field shouting "no!" in chorus.

[@streetcarjay]

I would like to see Pete Rose sing the praies of Aqua Velva with Kane, and then get Choke Slammed afterwards. LMAO!!!!

[@patrickpettyjr.3134]

I love this aftershave lotion!!

[@MrTeeye]

Same. Been using it for years, get lots of compliments.

[@dwalex97209]

I never thought I'd see Pete Rose and Mel from Alice (the late Victor Tayback) in the same commercial. If Rose could have only gotten banned (from baseball) for bad singing...

[@mykielbasa]

Bill Henderson, actor- been on everything from Happy Days to My name is Earl(Elder Inmate). He has a bit part in Fletch where Chevy keeps calling him Sammy( as in sammy davis jr) at the convention..

[@ElTiant]

Thank you, and I agree, Willie Mays was just better all around, and with speed he was a killer.

[@regressing2apes]

vik taybac

[@jonasnight]

@jitsusoji hehe! that is a good idea, although people must wonder what the hell is wrong with you!

[@brianjames7046]

Wow he really hit those high notes, with a little training, I bet (pun intended) pete rose could be pretty fucking good singer

[@VanHalenFan1964]

THANKS for restoring the Audio

[@Sparkina]

The gent with the thinning hair is indeed Vic Tayback (Mel from Alice).

[@baquacilmixedwithchlorine4092]

That clown in the beginning sounds like Robert DeNiro

[@Soulthinker2007]

That is one of my most fave AV commercials there was another one with the same jingle made either before or after this one.

[@JoshDunk]

Pete Rose = Lloyd Christmas

[@HamptonRoadsTVFan]

Wonder how much money Pete lost that led to him signing up to do this spot?

[@WolverinePete]

HamptonRoadsTVFan Pete Rose was the Aqua Velva guy for years even with the Phillies. In the 80s he switched to Nestle Crunch bars.

[@Jiltedin2007]

You can tell that Baseball Fan to "Kiss My Grits". LOL

[@GotFlow5]

haha...the popcorn guy had a lisp...some funny shit

[@hekasoram]

how does it smell?

[@monkeyattackedmyass]

I too want to smell like a man. Hey, Mel Sharples!

[@articcoyfox]

I feel like my life has more meaning after seeing this...also Simmons

[@habyss]

They got good demographics with their quartet.

[@cougartino]

I didn't know Vic Tayback was in that.

[@StukInBuf]

"Alice's" slavedriving boss... he was a hoot.

[@bhk5150]

Very cool. Where did you get this?

[@Jiltedin2007]

I thought so. Kiss my Grits! LOL

[@brianskinner936]

almost threw up. lol

[@boyinthedrain]

I'm on earth, right?

[@matthewwilde6255]

Dang it!! SIMMONSed again

[@penske369]

lmao, maybe so!!!

[@mothahen123]

why?

[@cybaker1982]

Mel=Vic Tayback

[@TheTrh2130]

stow it Flo!

[@SnapCraft316]

F'n Rose!

[@briancronin2488]

Simmons!

[@brysctt72]

Mel from alice

[@vpirates62]

he's definitly in the top 5 of all time. up there with Ruth, Dimaggio, Joe Jackson, Cobb, and Ted Williams...i'm aware i listed 5 names, so someone has to be 6th..but Rose holds 29 major league records..more than anyone else. he probably deserves the #1 spot.

[@johnybaltimore3687]

is she really going out with him

[@pcdm43145]

​@@johnybaltimore3687 "Is she really gonna take him home, tonight?"

[@tobro3000]

Bill Henderson

[@nottoday.9503]

The umpire? I was wondering if the umpire and the food vendor were celebrities, too.

[@scatman44]

"There's a new bet in town, cause I'm feelin' good!" :)

[@scatman44]

There's something about a Gambla Velva man! :)

[@nottoday.9503]

Ran out of Afta, which Dollar General doesn’t carry. So I “settled” for Aqua Velva. Then I found this commercial on KZbin. Now I’m hooked!!!!!👍🏻

[@HotLoveGarbage]

Vic Tayback rules.
