I remember the Papermate pens commercials from when I was a kid. As I remember, there were 3 curses: "Ora Fileramic Packaloomer", "Blast that Flaterrap", and "Dirty Ratzafratz". The above descriptions of the commercials are accurate, according to my memory (which, itself, is not that accurate).
If memory serves me (and at my age, that's not an absolute) the genesis of these phrases was a razor blade commercial aired during world series games. To the best of my recollection, the cartoon figure would utter a curse each time he nicked himself. The four "curses" were dirtyratzafratz; pickacosipep, olafigaramapegaloomer and blast that fladerap.
thanks for the recollection. the info keeps drifting in after several years.
I remember this advertisement from when I was 10 years old. The advertisement was for "the new Capri Mark III Papermate Pen with the Piggyback Refill.
This is Ralph (?). He's an even tempered guy. Only two things make him mad. Golf.
(says a curse I could never understand)
And pens that skip.
"Oh that pigatalamic tigaloomer!"
He won't give up golf.
"Blast that flatterap!"
But he did give up pens that skip when he got a new Capri Mark III from Papermate. Now only one thing makes him mad. Golf.
"Dirty Whatsafrutz!"
Wild! Thanks Nancy for your personal recollection. You would think you tube would have them.
I remember this commercial from when I was about 12 years old. Throughout my life it has made me chuckle and helped me stay sane as a golfer. It was the cartoon of a golfer who kept trying to hit his ball out of a sand trap in utter frustration that stuck in my memory. Whenever I hit an especially bad shot I mumble these phrases rather than curse. I remember them as “Blast that flatterap; Odafilaramicpackaloomer; Dirty rotten brackafritz,”
