We’re talking about sexual harassment here

I have lots of happy memories from my childhood. While many of them didn’t involve television — many of them did. There was the time my dad let me stay up past nine one time and I got to watch Night Court. There were my pajama-clad Saturday mornings that climaxed at PeeWee’s Playhouse. And then there was the Disney Afternoon with Ducktales and Rescue Rangers.
There is one television memory that has stuck with me, though, and I didn’t really understand it when I was a kid. Now that I’ve grown and developed a love of cheesiness (the flavor and the concept), I’ve rediscovered it as one of my favorite PSAs.
Remember this?
I’ve got nothing especially profound to say about it, but you have to admit, it’s pretty sweet.
Heh. Is it wrong to think that the real problem is how humorless the lady with the bad hair is?
Yes. Yes it is.
Dude! I am constantly saying to people, “That’s sexual harassment. And I don’t have to take it” with the same monotone delivery… but nobody ever gets it! I’m so glad you do, Dan!
I found myself reciting all of the dialogue along with Bad Hair Woman and Evil Boss, and I didn’t even think I remembered this commercial. Maybe it gets so deeply embedded in your memory you no longer acknowledge it, like the time you got pantsed in 3rd grade in front of your whole gym class.
OMG I remember this. The boss reminds me of the dad from The Wonder Years and the woman with the oh-so-90s-hairstyle reminds me of Moira Kelly of One Tree Hill.
I was always nervous for her at the end because the boss looked like he was gonna fire her. I hope she didn’t get fired
I love this! It’s up there with the “I learned it from watching you” ad.
