Speaker: Commercial Narrator

It keeps going and going and going...

Context

This line is spoken by various narrators for the Energizer Batteries commercials first appearing in 1989 .

Energizer commercials are famous for a reason: they're the same almost every time. First, the ad shows a product that's losing power (like the lightsaber in this awesome Star Wars commercial), and when it's revealed that the batteries used in the product aren't Energizer, the cute Pink Bunny shows up, and the narrator reminds everyone, "Energizer batteries outlast other batteries." So, of course, they must be the best. Thanks, Pink Bunny.

Since it was first used in the 80s, this slogan has been so successful that it's still going and going and going today. The proof isn't in the pudding; it's obviously in the battery. Energizer's cool and cute Pink Bunny has also become an icon.

Where you've heard it

You can't keep an Energizer Bunny down. The commercials are still going, and this phrase (and the Bunny) has basically become a part of the English language. This one's said (probably daily) to describe anyone with a lot of energy.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

You'll probably get an eye-roll if you start running around quoting the Energizer slogan, unless you're buying batteries. Just be sure to grab your sunglasses before hitting the store.
