Back in the 1980s there were these TV ads for "The Civil War Chess Set" (Probably from The Franklin Mint) which touted this plan to "buy 2 pieces a month for [$price]".
Which would presumably lead to a 16-month period of you having this sad partially-completed chess-set with salt shakers or whatever standing in as pieces until you could get all of them on the installment plan.
One time I was in a store that mainly sold Dungeons & Dragons stuff (sadly, now long departed), but which also sold elaborate chess sets. I overheard a guy and his wife or girlfriend looking at them.
The guy had obviously been seeing those ads. "We could buy two pieces a month."
His wife or girlfriend looked at him like he was from the moon. In a voice that could not be more disdainful, she replied, "That's stupid!"
At one point, the Talosians, when Pike isn't being quick enough in his romancing of whats-her-name, teleport in Colt and Number One to give Pike more variety...
Not that I would expect Terminators to scream, but it's interesting that in the 3 (Well, 4) TERMINATOR movies he's in, he apparently doesn't utter anything grunt-like enough to qualify for this montage.

Anthony Michael Head's series of commercials in the U.K. with Sharon Maughan were for Nescafé Gold Blend. They later made a similar series in the U.S. for Taster's Choice.
"Thank you."

"Yes, even Hawaii, where snow falls in Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea all winter."
I think it's kinda sweet.
