See that at least makes sense. The other companies aren’t there for you.
I hate anything that makes food into sentient beings. There’s a new animated one I think for pop tarts, where the snack is running for its life because these kids want to eat it, so this guy tricks into hiding in the toaster, presumably cooking it alive.
Well, I don’t have to ask what they were thinking with thiscommercial. I saw this commercial in broad daylight, too. I’m not easily shocked, but I was shocked.
I wish it were. I’ve looked for it more than once, but haven’t been able to find it. It might be included in one of those long compilations that are posted, but I’ve yet to go through all of them.
IIRC, it was on in the late summer and/or fall of 1975. I remember because I was living with my brother at the time.
I love the part where those dudes are pumping the meat back and forth and fondling the melons. The pineapple on the front door is also VERY suggestive.
Hell, the whole commercial drips sex. They knew exactly what they were going for and got it spot on!
The youtube comments (that’s right, I read 'em sometimes) pointed out the fact that the melons and cucumbers are on sale for 69 cents. Layers and layer of innuendo!
I love this comerical. Not because it’s all that hilarious (although it is amusing) but because it gives me hope that America may finally start inching away from its ridiculously prudish ways. Jeez, if they’re gonna spend thousands of dollars on ads that people have to be subjected to (not all of us dvr) why not make them amusing and relevant to the real people that watch them and not dumbed down and sanitized for the puritanical dolts they seem to think this nation is comprised of.

His fat, squat, Danny Devito physique is also unpleasant to see in a speedo.

Fat? Squat? Dude is at least average height. And he has the belly that middle-aged male primates tend to get, but he’s far from grotesquely fat. And his pecs indicate that he was stacked as hell when younger.

Does anyone get this?

Perhaps that he’s a normal dude with a decent physique for his age who happens to be unconcerned about others’ take on his fashion decisions? That he’s comfortable with himself? And your reaction and perception of the ad (as terribly distorted as it is) goes a long way toward justifying the ad’s message.
Absent your ridiculous post, I would just say that “he’s out of fucks to give.”
So true, we should thank the manufacturer. We need a stinkin’ break from the barrage of appeals to the perfect moms n housewives. Thanks for the concern about our pipes, Clorox Company. I totally need it in every hole.
