OMG, someone finally uploaded a good copy of a Betson's commercial! My life is complete! To this day, whenever I hear someone say something like, "Where did everybody go?" I always say, "They went to Betson's!" Now I can finally explain what the hell it is I'm talking about to people who aren't from Philadelphia. LOL
Thanks for uploading this. I was trying to explain this to a colleague from NY and they didn't get the joke when I said "They went to Betson's!" I didn't realize it was Philly specific.
The best Betsons Furniture commercial was the one where he's in a packed Veterans Stadium, hits the ball and everyone disappears. He says: "Hey! Where did everybody go?!" And the announcer says: "They went to Betsons Furniture...". It'd be great if anyone could possibly find it and put it up on CZcams.
The Betsons commercials have stuck with me for decades. They always bring a smile.
All these years later, whenever anyone says something like, "Where'd everyone go?" I always say, "They went to Betsons!"
Teresa Rothaar yes. A must!
That happened to me today , but since I moved to San Francisco 37 years ago, nobody out here would get that reference.

I still, til this very day, think that when I hear someone say or if I say, "Hey, where'd everybody go?!"
Yup, I remember when that tacky furniture was fashionable. This commercial brings back memories! Thanks for posting!
Big Marty's is still standing tall in all of his bell bottom glory up in the north east.

I'm one of the few People in my circle that still remember this commercial.
Same thing with ACME Supermarket which is Philadelphia region specific too.
Late night Philly TV at it's best, when ad rates were cheap.
They showed these Betson's commercials at all times of the day on all the UHF stations.
Where'd everybody go?
"they've gone to Betsons Furniture."

I seem to remember a late night one that involved an orgy, "Hey where'd everybody go?"

Any good Tri-State area kid who cut or was suspended from school in the 80's knows that "they've gone to Betson's!"
Delco kid here, so I concur!
Burlington Township. Guilty as charged!

Ha! I thought there would be a lot more comments and likes. I guess everyone went to Betson's.
