a commercial for The New England Aquarium. I believe this might be from the 70′s. Thought I’d put it up in case anyone is interested, it’s probably rare.
Those that remember this commercial often recall one for the Museum of Science in Boston, so here is a link provided by “jabroni33175″ to that commercial from the MOS site:

Ohh the memories! …
Thanks again!
Ohh the memories! This commercial was constantly on. I used to drive my sister crazy by saying, “I can walk like a penguin…” Thanks for posting this gem! It takes me back! Loved it! It was always on channel 56 out of Boston and if you were a kid growing up in the 70′s and 80′s in new england, channel 56 was the channel to watch. Banana Splits, Lost in Space, Three’s Comapny, etc. Great commercial, great time in life, great memory!

The line “I CAN WALK LIKE A PENGUIN!!!” still reverberates in my brain today.

Funny, when I went to the NEAQ recently, there were several people *holding their kids over the giant tank* so they could see the sharks and giant rays better. I had the damndest time holding my tongue…
You mean, “It’s …
You mean, “It’s gonna exude it’s digestive organ and absorb your hand, Karen!”
OK, I just went to …
OK, I just went to the NEAQ this weekend and I can’t for the life of me figure how the old interior layout of the main building meshes with the modern one. Specifically: the shark appears to be swimming in the big pool that makes up the entire first floor (which now holds penguins only). Considering that most of the walkways are essentially bridges over this pool, there’s NO EFFIN’ WAY they had sharks in it… is there?

So long, and thanks… for all the fish.
I liked the MoS better; the only thing at the aquarium that turned me on was the blacklights on that ramp…
Woah! Does that …
Woah! Does that bring back memories or what!?! *Sigh* To be a kid again…
I always saw this …
I always saw this on WLVI, well into the 80′s. I’m pretty sure at some point in my childhood I had a nightmare of Karen throwing a starfish at me.
Me too. The …
Me too. The drawings of the sharks on the wall freaked me out as well.
