1974 - ALPO Dog Food Commercial

[karenamanda1958]

The main guy in this commercial is the son of John Wayne, Patrick Wayne.

[optio4]

He picked the bowl marked ALPO because the one on the left was filled with 9 LIves

[ZombiedustXXX]

All-Poo.

[TypesALot]

It looks as if the dog actually eats the other dog food, and then goes to the Alpo and she starts her 'Honey, look..." line and he hasn't even had one mouthful of Alpo yet.

[oooowwwwdddd]

Oh look honey, he's choosing the ALPO because the producer sprinkled some sugar on top just before the commercial.

@Goji1210 no really i read that on spongepedia lol

[woodroow2]

thats john waynes son...he was also in the movie the alamo...with the duke lol

[sharky5921]

key words "alpos got meat biproducts"

[wolfsmother14]

Jesus Christ you could see that dog's rib, hips and back bones.

[haulaaaa]

hahaha, yeah thats right woman

[cougar1ne]

Does anyone have the Alpo commercial from the early '70's with the Old English Sheepdog? I would appreciate it more than you can know if someone could upload it.

THANKS in advance!

[nixxi1980]

eww meat by-products..what kind of meat?

[TOPOFFMAN]

That dog looked emaciated I can see it's ribs. That dog would have eaten a turd it was so hungry!

[dellownerman]

That dog looked too thin. I guess starving a dog to see if he will eat unhealthy corporate dog food is their plan. Our pets and Us are doomed to eat unhealthy processed food that shortens our lives.

[AmberFaithChloe]

Because the main ingredients in Purina foods is CORN & wheat. And they're full of salt, colorings & by-products!

[AmberFaithChloe]

LOL! I will NEVER feed my dogs any Purina foods!!!

[NicoleBishop84]

why? nice goldens, wish could have them hehe.....

[mark40511]

@AmberFaithChloe

I know! You have to be really careful what you feed your pet. I can't believe pets actually survived the 60s 70s and 80s eating that garbage

[haemoglobin07]

Nourishing meat by products? Soy? And they bragged about that. LOL Watching retro commercials is fun. xD

[mikey42]

John Wayne's boy sure is gorgeous!

[DanMan869]

The husband was played by Patrick Wayne, son of actor John Wayne.

[SmailKofe]

i'm from finland, and my dog name is Alpo :D

[pmezo]

i want a nourishing meat by products in my dinner

[noendlps1234]

@pmezo And don't forget gluten! o.o

[wonderfulhuman161]

sure he picked Alpo- he didnt want to get another blast from the stun gun.

[amya0]

"Nourishing meat by products?"

LOL

[scottbaino]

Soy proteins in dog food in 1974? Wow, they were advanced even then!

[osvie01]

look at those bell-bottoms.

[balinwire]

Is that Kathrine Glass? I am not sure of the wifes name, Cathrine Gless? Anyone know?

[lorilee32]

Pat Wayne

[scottbaino]

Wow, how rare that the husband is right in the commercial for once. I miss 1974!

[hinata750]

@scottbaino word now all this feminist bull crap just makes guys look like stupid pets to there wives on commercials

[dylanDaass]

you can tell its bad cause it has soy and by products.

[andrewgilbert01]

Anyone else noticed the sexual inuendo in the commercial about MEAT and how the MEAT is better.

[visor109]

Groovie Peter Brady haircut!

[BigSCTVfan]

Odd that the husband is the smart one in the commercial. Usually these days it's the reverse.

[radarengineer]

Tv was more realistic then.

[dcat918]

They shouldve told the dam truth and said it was real mustang. lol

[u2boyu2]

Don't upset your wife honey,you might be getting "real beef" for dinner and you would'nt even know it!

[MissLeigh78]

"You're sooo smart..."

[tofubeast]

"Alpo's got nourishing meat by-products"

[TinyDancer500]

Okay, let's see if I can get this one! Looks like Patrick Wayne, the Duke's kid, right? Wonderfully awful '70s kitchen, the wallpaper alone would kill ya.
