Just when we thought there couldn't possibly be any more commercials out there featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, Jon found this little gem buried in an ancient commercial break posted by a Youtube user. I've made it easier for everyone by editing the other ads out and isolating it for your viewing pleasure.
Wile E. Coyote discovers that the Donnelly Directory Yellow Pages have "Every number for every service". At least, they did when they existed back in 1988!

Matthew, I don't think we've seen the last of the Wile E. and Roadrunner TV adverts. They'll keep popping up online from all parts of the globe and I know you and Jon will be ready to post them.
I don't remember seeing the ad for either a Mazda or Holden on your blog. It screened on New Zealand television in the early 2000's I believe, with Wile E. chasing after the Roadrunner in a brand new car.
I'll let you know if I find it on an old VHS.
By the way, I love the new logo at the top of the page, keep up the great work guys.
Thanks to living in an area serviced by Time-Warner Cable, there's a heavy number of TV ads here put on by the cable company that feature the Road Runner in some manner (since their broadband Internet service is called "Road Runner"), as well as the city buses and some billboards here featuring the Road Runner himself. At least Milwaukee kids will know (out of the various Looney Tunes characters) who the Road Runner is (if not the Coyote)...
At last! Glad to see somebody came up with an old Donnelly Directory TV ad. There were a bunch of these made that were shown on TV over the last half of the 80's. So I expect more to eventually show up on YouTube and perhaps other video sites. (Now that I think about it, I would've figured the AOL video site would've caught on to some of them. I'll have a look see.)
