Is the guy in this commercial the sales manager in the movie “Wall Street” with Charlie Sheen?

Frank: Watch your tongue, boy, if you like this job!

Freddy: Like this job?

James Karen..was in Frankenstein Meets The Space Monster…yeck…that was dreck…

Love those “Money For Nothing” graphics!

I saw James Karen walking on Broadway but I wasn’t sure it was him and then a fan ran up to him and I heard that familiar voice and realized that it was him and I said, Hello Mr. Pathmark and he said ;” My name is MR. JAMES KAREN TO YOU YOUNG MAN!”I pissed him off….To me he’ll always be Mr. Pathmark..

this was when commercials were good

Up until recently, one of the stores near me still had “You’re the one who’s number 1″ painted on the wall in the room in the back near the bathrooms but it was painted over about a month ago. At least we still have some trailers that say “SHOP SMART” that haven’t been repainted.

@tbyrne706 It was only around 2008 when all of the Pathmarks in my area stopped being open 24 hours a day. I once had to go into Pathmark at 1 AM after arriving home from a really late flight.

If A&P was smart, they’d hire James Karen back as a spokesperson. Quick.

I’d bet he’d be a lot cheaper and do a lot more to revive sales than Kelly Ripa.

I dont remember Pathmark being open 24 hrs

I recall seeing PathMark ads on WNJU/WXTV also, *en español,* of course.

The announcer in those ads looked like Mr. Karen as well.

“PathMark… La Bodega Grande.” Anyone have the ads in Spanish, please? *Gracias.*

@cbsfm101 It sure is…His film credits include; Poltergeist , Wall Street, The Return of the Living Dead, His first movie was1965′s Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster.

Pat Kirkland did this prior to Kirkland and Haywood I see.

@alloutoftime this is the reason why ObAMA MUST BE IMPEACHED and or voted out of office in 2012 WE NEED Ssweeping social reform now. the proliferation of these derelicts must be tackled on. I hope the tea party wins throughout America send a message to these derelicts their days of free loading are over!

Pathmark and A&P both suck!

Pathmark ice cream in a BOX!! Ever since A&P made it America’s Choice, it has been sold in tubs.

Wow I haven’t seen this commercial since I was four years old but I always remembered it so vividly! Pathmark was a great supermarket once. Now, in my area, they’re getting massacred by a new Walmart that just went up earlier this year. There are three Pathmarks within short driving distance of me and none of them are doing well. A real shame.

@Myrolex Good one! LOL!

Pathmark sucks. they are dirty,have high prices, poor quality meat & produce, they are always out of one thing or another & often have shady looking persons working on the night crew. This is the place where all non- Americans shop with various types of welfare, such as WIC, Families First, etc. I avoid this store at all costs.

@cbsfm101 Also famous for playing Steve Freeling’s boss in Poltergeist.

I think I need to go to the store and buy some food.

man i miss shit like this. it used to be all so simple

@mco1216 Yes, He was in “Return of the Living Dead” 1 and 2, also “Poltergeist”, “Invaders From Mars” during the 80′s and in “Pursuit of Happyiness in 2006. Also in a string of sitcoms. He’s 86 years old and is still acting.

@smartbunny no i am not 10 years old…but i have years of experience in the supermarket industry…both as an insider and as an investor…and the acquistion of Pathmark by A&P was a very sad event…Pathmark was an industry leader…even Shop-Rite shuddered when Pathmark broke a big sales circular…as far as A&P rebranding…they are currently rebranding A&P stores in Pennsylvania…to the name Pathmark…the one guy who might have pushed A&P forward was Mike Larkin…he died too young

Which A&P’s are they closing?
