Seems in the 60's, Rowlf was the "everyman" character of all the Muppets, a role which Kermit would eventually take.

[cstoczyn]

@Akira625 Where's Kermit When You Need Him?

[martinyable]

They're all Muppets there now - they've murdered Domino. ... and as for ethical ! LOL !!! Yeah - like stealing people's pensions.

[cstoczyn]

@martinyable GADZOOKS!!!!

Good to see Big Blue had a humor at some stage. I reckon they should bring back muppets to IBM advertising. Made me giggle.

[reddog03]

@chriswalski We have plenty of Muppets, but most are WW Execs :-)

[cstoczyn]

@reddog03 O I C

1:40

[foxsux6000]

ibm has certainly lost their sense of humor after the 70's.

[CosmoloveM2M]

Flawlessly Funny. Actually D Funniest Muppet Gem I*ve Seen On ütübe. Divine Humoral Medicine Even 4 Angels. xD

Bless Ü 4 Being On ütübe. Bless Ü All. :D

Trüth, Peace & Cosmolove

[doctorwhoobawooba]

That's hilarious! I especially liked the repeating stair bit where the bag kept falling and falling!

[brightbite]

This reminds me of The Muppets Take Manhattan, where the Muppet gang are all writing back to Kermit about their new jobs.

Was Jim Henson hired to do some promotional material for IBM? I didn't know that. THanks for posting this up Batman. It does help me learn what Jim was doing back then before the Muppet Show.

[Ajaggedpanther]

check out the wilkins coffee commercials

[UltraBibendum]

I wanna buy an electric typewriter now...

[limbclock]

@UltraBibendum non-IBM models are cheap. Although if you want the Selectric with the golf ball, you'll pay up your nose. (unless some dummy is selling it for cheap on eBay)

[microbusss]

@UltraBibendum good luck finding one Typewriters not made anymore

[cstoczyn]

@microbusss Thanks

[OrangeFlaaffy]

The idea of Rowlf as a door to door computer salesman makes me giggle:3

[cstoczyn]

[stickbuddy1]

this is sort of scarey

[Akira625]

Why was Rowlf crying at 2:54?

[Gaianna1]

@Akira625 I want to know as well

[disneynut06]

I didn't Rowlf was a klutz.

[caa1000]

Was this an IBM meeting in FL in the 70's?

[caa1000]

Sorry, it was 1965!

[MarshalGrover]

I like Rowlf's "ten feet tall" commercial.

[disneynut06]

Yeah, that one was funny, but, frankly, I prefer the one where he's singing and typing with his twin ("Double your output, double your speed...").

[shuboy05]

@disneynut06

Was anyone expecting a Wrigley's lawyer to show up with a cease and desist notice?
