1789 In this final (aww!) volume, the two that stand out most are the introduction of the Cracker Jack guy, and the motor test. All in all these are all great to watch! Couple of good un's Spuzz 2003-04-02 01:03:40 2003-04-02 01:03:40 3 6453 The hilarious "subliminal" coffee ad has got to be the work of the legendary Stan Freberg. Cracker Jack guy is of course Jack Gilford ("Cocoon") -- I remember this ad from when I was a kid! Vintage Freberg!

However,the Cracker Jacks ad with Jack Gilford that I've been looking for for years continues to elude me. I'm looking for the one where he sits on the porch with a little boy who is digging in his pocket for something to trade for Cracker Jacks, while the Cracker Jacks song was playing. So I can't give it five stars.:) Just a tease 4 xek 2005-09-19 15:05:32 2005-09-19 15:05:32 Nice retrospective of old television commercials. Interesting to watch 4 ERD 2005-09-20 09:58:30 2005-09-20 09:58:30 This has been my favorite of the classic commercials collections. All of the concepts in these ads are still pretty modern (Maxwell House has used that song in recent years), but the retro look and music makes it really fun to watch. Surely the Butternut Coffee commercial was done by Jay Ward? Or it was at least meant to look like Rocky and Bullwinkle Nice! 5 lil_wing 2006-05-10 00:09:08 2006-05-10 00:09:08 Where is Volume VII? I love watching these commercials. So many memories come just come flooding back (Maybe I watched too much TV as a kid?...). I remember some of these better than the shows they sponsored. Thanks, Warren GREAT STUFF! BUT.... Edsel58 2007-04-21 04:53:40 2007-04-21 04:53:40 5 7 4.29
