Mean Joe Greene

Posted February 26, 2002

Viral - This classic ad shows how a Coke can quell the savage beast. Even Mean Joe Greene's gotta smile after he drinks one!

One of the Top 10 Commercials of All Time as chosen by visitors to the USAToday.com Website. The History Channel special, presented in conjunction with the American Association of Advertising Agencies, showing the winning commercials aired opposite the opening ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and so was not widely watched.

Watch the Pepsi ad with David Beckham that's a take-off of this classic

Release Year: 1979

kid!!!! I agree that more of this kind of commercials are needed today.This should be played

again once in awhile just to remind people that

nice things still happen even if its in a coke

commercial
