'Full House' actress Jodie Sweetin relives her original Sizzler ad

More than 35 years after their first collaboration, Sizzler and “Full House” actress Jodie Sweetin have joined forces once again to recreate their iconic 1987 television ad. The new campaign, called "Still As Great As Ever" from Mischief @ No Fixed Address, starts with a clip of the original 80s ad, and then turns to present-day Sweetin, who talks about Sizzler’s made-to-order steaks and unlimited salad bar. The ad will run on connected TV platforms and YouTube, with shortened versions will run on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. The original ad from 1987 highlighted Sizzler’s steak and all-you-can-eat shrimp deal. A very young Sweetin tucks into a pile of shrimp, but her plate keeps getting refilled, causing her mother to admonish her for not eating more. “[Sizzler’s] wants to be relevant in culture again, and get the people who grew up with their steak, seafood and salad bar to share it with their own kids,” Hunter Fine, creative director at Mischief @ No Fixed Address, said in a statement. “So when we found the 1987 commercial of Jodie Sweetin at Sizzler, we knew we had to bring her back to comically let people know that just like her acting, Sizzler is still as great as ever.” When Sizzler was founded in 1958 by Del and Helen Johnson in Culver City, California, a steak dinner cost 99 cents. The chain has gone through two rounds of bankruptcy, the most recent of which was in 2020 as a result of Covid. Today, Sizzler has about 75 locations in the U.S. and eleven in Puerto Rico.
