I'm not really sure if this is considered worthy to be submitted… can somebody help?

All I know is that this particular commercial aired in 1987, and here's the full clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQlpDiXPZHQ

The line "I've fallen and I can't get up" spoken by Mrs Fletcher, while she's seen collapsed on the floor with her walker, has apparently become very popular. The other character, Mr Miller, also has his line "I'm having chest pains!", so he also seems to be a target.

There have been various youtube remixes of the commercial, especially the Mrs Fletcher segment. However, I don't really know much about the commercial, apart from the video information… :(

So should this be considered a meme worth submitting?

hrm :/

I remember Urkle spoofing this on Family Matters pre-internet.

Serious..

Definitely needs some kind of mention or article somewhere. Even in real life, people joke around about it a lot. (However, I wouldn't consider it more so an IRL meme.)
