Is This The Most Memorable Telephone Number In Television Commercial History? [VIDEO]
Daytime TV in the 90s was off the chain.
If you're a child of the 90s, you probably remember the lineup of cartoons that came on after school that had us glued to the television. If you were an adult in the 90s but didn't have a day job, then this commercial was made for you.
Diesel Driving Academy ran these commercials that all but promised you a job if you took their training course. The commercial had footage of trucks being driven around and dudes helping other dudes to drive them.
The jingle was by far the most memorable part of the commercial, performed by some gnarly rocker guy who belts out the number:
CALL ONNNNE
EIGHT
HUNDRED
FIVE-FIVE-ONE
EIGHT-NIIIINE-HUNDRED
To really drive it home, he closes with one final shriek of "Diesel Driving Academy!" so that you don't forget who to call. I was never a truck driver, but someone out there had to have bitten on this commercial and is now a successful truck driver.
Is there another phone number from a TV commercial that is more memorable? If so, let me know!
