All of His Hidden Commercials (Before Roseanne Made Him Famous)

Years before Roseanne, John Goodman was doing 30-second spots for aftershave, shoes, soup and fried chicken, and almost nobody watching had any idea who he was. This video covers 19 verified commercials Goodman appeared in between 1979 and 1987, including a McDonald's ad where a very young Megan Mullally is standing right next to him, and an A&W Root Beer spot where he finally starts looking like the John Goodman America would meet on Roseanne a few years later. Here's the strange part: check his official filmography today and every single commercial in this video is missing from it. Only one 1980 print ad made the cut. Did I miss one? If you remember another pre-Roseanne John Goodman commercial, tell me which one below.
