I Like That Frankenstein/Osteo-Biflex Guy

I no longer spend the big bucks for what he's hawking, (found the same thing cheaper elsewhere) but I like the little vignettes that intersperse the Frankenstein Monster with this guy just living a normal life.

Him jogging down the side-walk or playing the banjo for a bunch of little young-uns tells me someone at some ad agency is still sane. Good job.

I always found the image of Frankenstein's monster gardening, with the glove and sun hat, waving to the neighbors passing by.

I don't even know what he's hawking, but those commercials are hilarious! Him doing Tai-Chi just floors me!

Yes, those commercials are great !! It is hilarious to see the "Frankensyein monster" as if he's been transformed by sensitivity training and New Age philosophy.

Almost makes me wish I had creaky joints, so I needed whatever he's selling.

Funny stuff.
