Life Call Commercial "I've fallen and I can't get up!"

- "...I've fawlin' and I can't get up!..."
This line was spoken in a television commercial for a medical alarm and protection company called LifeCall, in ads that began running in 1987. The motivation behind these medical alarm systems is that many senior citizens today live at home alone, and may find themselves suddenly in medical danger with no one (and no phone) nearby to help them. The product addressed this concern by providing its subscribers with a small pendant, worn around the wrist or neck; when needed, the wearer presses the button on it, and he or she is immediately put into contact with a dispatcher who can send a paramedic, fireman, or other emergency assistance.
The TV advertisement featured, in part, a fictional elderly lady named "Mrs. Fletcher" who has fallen, with her walker, in the bathroom.
On its face, the commercial illustrates a serious situation for a senior with dire consequences (elderly people with no one to care for them may fall in their homes and be on the floor for hours or even days, unable to get help).
The "I've fallen and I can't get up" ad had the double misfortune of being unintentionally campy and appearing often on cable and daytime television. The combination made "I've fallen... and I can't get up!" a recognized, universal punchline that applied to many comedic situations. All of these factors made the ad memorable, ensuring the line's place in pop culture history.

Just stay down and you can never fall again

I remember laughing at this commercial when I was a teenager. I'll be 50 in a couple months and I hope in my case what goes around doesn't come around.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I will be praying for you
Family Matters
To be fair, it was acting, not a scenario that really happened. Although I guess it could happen
Happy 50th by now!
Little did this old lady know that decades later she would be the face of one of the greatest memes of our generation.
👏
You said it! I was just thinking this was a meme before they were Memes! Kind of like ‘where’s the beef’?
At least two generations. This was a meme before the Internet was a thing.
You said it again sister! Yeah! And if you're not careful, you might just fall...and not get up
"I cant get up CANT GET UP!!!!"
-100 accurate life hacks
Little she know no one would come………….
I wonder who she was. I can’t believe she didn’t pop back up somewhere or another like the other commercial surprises, child stars, etc.
If you think about it most of the people in this video are dead now.
Yup exactly
at least they got back up
That's depressing
.. thats depressing.. you remind me of someone.. hooray
sure about that

Totally busted me...

You got me...
My grandma was the age of the people in this commercial and she would laugh at this every time it came on.
I’m glad she had a sense of humor and I hope I keep mine at that age
😂😂😂😂
I just showed this to my son and his friend (both 8 years old). I told them nothing beforehand, just to see what would happen.
They both laughed when it got to "I've fallen, and I CAN'T GET UP!"

I blame Mrs. Fletcher for making that iconic line so memorable and hilarious and also causing me to literally laugh my head off every time I hear her say that!
On Opposite Day, Mrs. Fletcher says “I’ve risen, and I can’t get down!”
Mr. * Fletcher
She rised to heaven
I wonder what happens if you fall on your Life Alert and break it.
You said the exact same thing on other channels....weirdo!!!
+Iambic Pentameter Then you can't get up.
Then you'd be like:Hello! Hello! Hello! Is there anybody in there?

Memes aside this is actually a really good idea
it's not an idea, this is a real product XD
the fact that its a product doesnt change the fact that its a good idea, you can have both
I guess thats true. Anyway i wonder if this service is still active.
SpikefallYT I believe life alert is still active
You cannot say «memes aside» to a meme
I gotta say tho, after getting older and hearing many horrible tales about old people getting hurt at home with no one around to help, I do wish I could get a couple of these for my parents.
You can just shop around online there are so many different types .as my grandmother used to tell me . THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS The LATEST .
_"We're sending help immediately, Mrs Fletcher."_ After he said that, it would've been funny if he had looked into the camera and shook his head _"No, we're not."_

I am so thankful for companies like this. I have Life Alert and it has saved my life. I was looking at apples at the farmer’s market when my shoes got caught on uneven ground. Down I went! My happy day at the farmer’s market quickly turned into my worst nightmare. Luckily, I pressed my life alert button and received help. I have a few bruises but will heal in time. I am forever grateful.

As someone who has worked for personal care. They just die. You be surprised how many people just die because they are too old and alone.
Jamz Whilmm I know, it’s very sad. It’s hard as a youth to imagine ever getting old, so it’s easy to be flippant about these things but elderly people being so socially isolated is a very big problem and this sad reality of social isolation in old age might touch any one of us one day. I’m looking into volunteering with the elderly some how, because they have the most interesting things to share if they are given the chance.
Jamz Whilmm I meant to say if they are given the chance you can learn a lot and make genuinely great friendships. It’s just hard when they pass though, one special elderly friend’s passing recently is what prompted me to want to volunteer. He relocated overseas and I was organising to visit and he passed suddenly. I truly miss the amazing conversations I use to share with him.
