I remember the commercials very well and I used to audiotape them because they always had hot girls laughing at the word Tickle. However, I had never seen anyone actually being tickled in the Tickle commercials. It was usually just a voiceover talking about it while the girls laughed. In one commercial, they would laugh in response to his questions. In another one, they would be continually laughing.
But I never actually saw tickling. I think that might be a Tickle Urban Legend. Hey, maybe we can start a new catagory of TULs!

P.S. There was alot of tickling in a commercial for DRY IDEA circa 1989. Now that was a mindblower!
