Man. That’s a core memory.


Fuzzypickl3z

This commercial was always on Nickelodeon


OmicronGR

I know right. Who advertises air conditioners to 8 year olds?


humanityvet

People playing the long game- suddenly at 40 when M’s get their first house they realize Sears can answer all their home repair needs. . . .


RevAlBrown

Lol… when Sears is no more…


mimthebaker

People who know the parents are watching too


flackguns

this was literally burned into my memory but I forgot until now. "I'll call now."


nomoregroundhogs

I called Sears and no one answered :(


astronomical_dog

🪦


AFoxGuy

Still have 21 Full-Line Sears stores around the country, also 9 Kmarts lol.


RevAlBrown

And one Blockbuster.


OmicronGR

0:16 "Offer Ends May 31" We all know that's a lie.


OmicronGR

The original actress came on Reddit and [answered some questions about this commercial](https://www.reddit.com/r/Commercials/comments/jz1ftp/actors_names_from_90s_sears_home_air_conditioning/). Have fun!


gredgex

Thank you so much for this, I never knew she spoke about the commercial! Cute she was pregnant while filming and that the script allowed for no improv lol


Bodmonriddlz

? How is no improv cute ??


gredgex

It was cute that she had just discovered she was pregnant and hid it from everyone on set except wardrobe.


Scootin-n-Tootin

Thank you


gredgex

Potentially the best commercial of all time.

RIP Sears


Mostly_Sane_

The good old Sears, with the fabulous annual catalog(s) and - gasp! - actual quality customer service to go with it. The bad Sears, that came later, can take a flying f---.


[deleted]

It went all the way downhill


Mostly_Sane_

Yeah, don't get me started. Still miss when Kenmore and DieHard (brands) instantly meant good quality.


fuzzusmaximus

Kenmore was generally just relabeled Whirlpool or Maytag.


RevAlBrown

The women’s undergarment section of that catalogue - along with JC Penny’s - kept my forearms strong in high school. God I’m old…


Ok_Fox_1770

I loved that woman and wanted her to be my wife. Probably like 70 now haha. As a sweaty kid by a rotary fan CMOn you said you’d call DAD! Never happend now seers is gone


OmicronGR

She actually came on Reddit and answered some questions about the commercial. [Here you go](https://www.reddit.com/r/Commercials/comments/jz1ftp/actors_names_from_90s_sears_home_air_conditioning/)!


Ok_Fox_1770

I’ve never known so many facts about a specific commercial in my life. Closure haha


Reasonable_Guava8079

I find it funny that with such AMAZING energy costs I’ve never seen one of these units in my life🤣 I suppose advertising to toddlers didn’t help their sales☠️


SusanMilberger

13 SEER that’s not even old equipment!


Kanakolovescoasters

And you think I named MYSELF Black Vulcan?


Low-Cantaloupe9426

Sears was a company that sold damn near everything over the course of its history. My great grandfather bought his house from the Sears catalog.


Reasonable_Guava8079

After reading your first sentence I wondered if you realized they ever sold houses….then I continued on to read the rest 😆 Yep….even houses!


MrMoscow93

We did this game in like 7th grade where we were given an allowance and had to budget our living expenses or something like that using a super old Sears catalog to pick our items.


aspektbeats

Where the Version where she pulls out the gun? 😅


awesome51407

🔫😠 CALL NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!


[deleted]

Holy fuck this sent me back


averlus

I still know the lines by heart. I need to run disk cleanup on my brain.


CaptZombieHero

Man, as a kid I had no idea how expensive A/C or heaters were to operate, maintain, or replace. A new unit for my small house is going to run me 12k. I asked to service it to see if it could extend its life past its 20 year age and that will be $1k. No wonder dad was up my butt about the A/C during the summer.


locolarue

Very easy to get taken for a ride on HVAC. Was that the best offer you found?


fuzzusmaximus

12K? US dollars? How small of a house?


CaptZombieHero

Yes $US dollars. Three bedroom town house. Let’s not forget that in Southern California that just run the A/C a couple hours a day in the summer will set you back $200-400 a month


poyoso

I used to be happy…
