It’s Football Season Ad (A Classic from Yesteryear)

There have been ads announcing football season for years now, but there was one in particular that I really loved a number of years ago. I haven’t seen it since, and I can’t seem to find it anywhere, but it was fun. Here’s what happens in the spot:

A woman is trying on shoes in a shoe store, and as she sits down waiting to try on the shoes, the sales associate at the shoe store puts one shoe down in front of her chair, holding it up slightly, and seeing this, another woman walks up and kicks it like a field goal/extra point. And the shoe flies up into some little storage area above the wall, and she raises her arms in celebration, like a referee indicating the kick is good. And the announcer says: “Looks like it’s football season!” (Or something like that.)

Does anyone else remember this commercial? I don’t know who made it, but it’s really great.

No wait, here it is (but it looks like Legos):
