I remember seeing my first Empire commercial when I was barely two. It was a holiday sale with the couple talking about Stainmaster carpet. It was quite funny, too. I miss those kind of commercials.
I just watched an empire commercial and youtubed it lol had no idea it goes back to the 80's. I'm a 1990 baby and remember the commercials from being a youngin but wow. and they're still goin

I remember these Empire Carpet commercials while growing up in the 80's. I recently saw an updated version where they animated the Emprire carpet Installer from the commercials! I couldn't believe it as I hadn't heard this jingle in years!
In our area we switched from Los Angeles Channels to WTBS, WNG, in 1982 or so, and a few other channels, too. I do miss these old retro commercials, in California it was Cal Worthington Ford Dealership.

1:51, it wasn’t the carpet men at Harry’s door. It was the mailman. Legend has it, that Harry is still waiting for his carpet to be delivered.
What is happening to Harry not answer
4:25 The commercial first aired on December 10, 1986 (the date my mom was born).
“Empire Today, Carpet Tomorrow.”
i watch this when i was a kid
*Love this!💖*
Born in 2004 and i know this jingle how did this happened
5:49: *832,644 hours*
Skat1140 may say he didn't like the commercial but listened to it and probably can't get it out of his head.
t00 I was watching this ad with PinkSheep and Homie Dolphin in the 80's
5:28
So go to the phone right now, and on the count of three, dial Empire, okay? One, two, three...
0:01
Is that his real grandson?
His name is Jason.
Jason's the grandson
That second commercial got kinda dark at the end lol.
That one was hilarious. These ads don't have dark humor, normally. That's why it's so funny here. It's unexpected as hell.
Harry? Harry? HARRY? HARRY!!!! Poor Harry had to wait decades for his carpet.
1:52 Ummm what is Harry even doing and why is he sliding down? I'm confused.
He died because the other company took decades to install
These commercials respectively aired from 1982 to 1986.
Correct me if I'm wrong
4:47 BUTT CARPETING
Why am I watching this
These are all from December 10, 1986, based on the title cards. That's WAAAAY past 1983.

Harry...
Harry?

Rip as he died at the age of 99 years 😢😢😢😢
I was friends with a Chicago cop who looked exactly like him. People used to stop him on the street and ask for his autograph.
