“Where’s the beef?”
Clara Peller got her 15 minutes of fame courtesy of Wendy’s…

This is the original “Where’s the Beef?” commercial that Wendy’s first aired on January 10, 1984. Wendy’s campaign with this commercial became so popular, it became a national catchphrase and soon became a common term referring to most anything referring to sub par quality.
The most ridiculous usage of the phrase was by former Vice President, Walter Mondale when he used it with his run for the office of President of the United States and competition among fellow Democrats for the nomination. In a competition with rival Gary Hart, Mondale used the phrase to show his policies had no real substance.
Walter Mondale went on to win the Democrat nomination for President but lost in a historic and horrific landslide defeat by Ronald Reagan. In fact, Mondale only won The District of Columbia and his home state of Minnesotta.

“Thank you for your support…”
The story behind this is that these guys were not actors, but rather the guy who played Frank Bartles went to the actiing call because he needed a few extra dollars to buy a drill press. These guys were dumped on the heap of history when Gallo was done with them…

I hate commercials… as commercials. But I like them as history or art. This one was iconic, but i fear the punchline has lost its context “we will sell no wine before its time”

Orson Welles talks about his family’s curious theory that the wine you drink the most should be the best. Their pick is apparently Paul Masson’s Burgundy, so he serves it to his friends, including the couple that were in the drunken outtakes from his champagne commercial. Welles goes on to explain that they will “sell no wine before its time” and delivers the line with such conviction that I just did a Google search to see if they still sell this stuff… and I hate wine.
