30 Nostalgic 1-900 Numbers From The ’80s

7. Grandpa Al Lewis from “The Munsters” fan hotline

For decades after The Munsters was canceled in 1966, Al Lewis continued to milk his Grandpa Munster character for all it was worth. Of course, he had no actual rights to the character, which is why he instead calls himself “Grandpo” in this commercial. Go ahead and let your kids call in. They should learn about the dangers of copyright infringement.

8. The Warrant Rockline

The glam metal band Warrant produced this incredibly creepy ad full of double-entendres alluding to all of their adult exploits. Warrant was apparently happy to share these dirty stories with any children who might call, so long as they get their parents’ permission. Good to know they had standards. At one point, there were so many Warrant fans that they had a pay phone line. Now the singer is dead 🙁

Straight up now tell me, do you really want to pay $0.99/minute?
