TV commercial film for American Tourister Luggage 1970

[code3jefe]

MTB Bill brought me here!

[sicilian12345]

Thumbs up if Apollo 13 brought you here

[AvEryBadApPLe]

Remember that skecth comedy show The State, when they did that skit, Monkey Torture? lol

[rdmeier]

I think the monkey was upset because he thought he was going on a trip somewhere only to be denied.

[CharlesP2009]

Hello world! I've only ever known this ad from Apollo 13, I originally thought it was some kind of odd documentary footage.

[BClay74]

'Savage Baggage Masters' is a great name for a gay porn film.

[tripjet999]

Ape is probably a smoker, too.

[tedcantu1]

This still holds up as a classic commercial..... yeesh

[1976chrisc]

Why am I laughing so hard at this?

[gibusgamer93]

It's kind of sad that a 1970 suitcase is more durable, cheaper, and more stylish than modern suitcases.

[alfredorss]

@gibusgamer93 Inflation. I looked up an inflation calculator and it said that its the equivalent of 111 bucks now.

[loperspest]

'Apollo 13' brought me here.

[kennerudo]

The onion brought me here.

[CCenok]

It doesn't look like Torrence Hatch is rehabilitated we better NOT free boosie

[LDKBBAB]

Jim Lovell's mother had to watch this instead of her son in space!

[1w72st]

Apollo 13

[CapnJay214Supra]

C'mon, you stupid suitcase, my passport's in there!

[mikemcdonald100]

SAVAGE BAGGAGE MASTERS!!! hahaha

[myojeda58]

This is Willie B, famous gorilla, born in 1959, died at the Atlanta Zoo in 2000, he will be saddly missed- there is very little film of him, this is one of the only videos that I could find

[portadelaide]

i actually found myself stuffed inside this case after a heavy night out way back then, Only to wake up to what i thought was a pounding headache , only to find Big gorrila fist marks on my frikin head

[TheChapaqua]

CBS News makes me behave lke that all the time.

[MegamaXX500]

28 Days Luggage

[Nradv]

You don't find writing like this anymore!

[ajones35]

This was a controversial ad at the time. The people of PETA really got in an uproar on this one. :D

[theyearofourlordig88]

FUCK YOU SUITCASE

-love,

caged primate

[rubber4532]

good editing

[ubertuber66]

Yep, I'm looking b/c of MadMen too. I love how the comments here are now a thread about Don Draper and season 4.

I do think there's a reason we see Don rejecting ideas from Peggy that we know (as seen above) eventually were used by the competition. Peggy was pitching ideas along the lines of the ad here.

[Katquilts]

I'm A Mad Men fan also. But they are working for Samsonite. This ad is for American Tourister, and did not come out until 1970. I did make the connection, however.

[mychaelus]

@Katquilts American Tourister is a Samsonite brand..

[Katquilts]

@mychaelus - Samsonite did not buy American Tourister until the '90s.

[farnsworthish]

mad men

[mattezyk69]

Greatest commercial ever.

Mad Men just made me look for it too

[salinagrrrl69]

@mattezyk69 Yea me THREE! What if you floated this idea at Draper?

[mattezyk69]

@salinagrrrl69 Don Draper would steal the idea for himself, get loaded, and nail the secretary. Awesome.

[salinagrrrl69]

@mattezyk69 LOLs!!!!! You are right on all accounts 'cept the secretary. He now has a 'nail-proof' secretary that not even a pint of Jack could make desirable. I liked her line on the Clay bout. "If I wanna watch two negros hit each other I'd drop a dollor out mah window."

[novayorker]

@mattezyk69 unless it's pathetic season 4 don draper. then he'd make a weakass, inebriated attempt at hitting on a girl who will swiftly reject him. a girl that in seasons 1-3 he probably could've gotten into bed just by looking at her.

[MrBlueRuin]

I remember this well and "Mad Men" has brought it full circle.

[crazycraig31]

Mad Men brought me here

[eggberta]

@crazycraig31 me too craig! LOL! I swear....wasn't there a commercial with a mouse and samsonite? I swear there was? maybe I'm wrong.

[salinagrrrl69]

@crazycraig31 Yea me THREE! What if you floated this idea at Draper?

[bootney66]

@crazycraig31

Me too!

[mikemcdonald100]

@crazycraig31 Blade legs? and Apollo 13 brought me here

[tomperanteau]

Didn't OJ train on killing in one of these commercials?

[dadsbabypu]

I didn't know my ex-wife was in a commercial!!!

[pitudo69]

@dadsbabypu mmmmmm good female taste, love it lol

[stevemarce1988]

IF that was ME, the luggage would be GONE. BTW, that is me with ALL Computers.

[stevemarce1988]

THIS IS ME WITH COMPUTERS!!!!!!!

[skitt598dan]

thats gorilla is willie B.

[doobiesmoke15]

@skitt598dan That's not a gorilla that's a chimp

[larydh]

She's just precious

[tspooncl65]

I remember a follow up commercial to this one.

A couple checks their bag at an airline ticket counter.

The agent places it on the conveyor and it goes through the portal in the wall.

Cut to the other side of the wall where we see a gorilla dressed as a baggage handler who grabs the suitcase and trashes it.

Does any body remember this version?

[filmteknik]

Classic! With this in mind I don't see how anyone can take the side of the "United Breaks Guitars" guy. Everyone has known all along that baggage gets handled roughly. Caveat emptor.

[FaganRoberts]

This commercial ranks up there w/ the old Benson & Hedges cigarette commercials. Aaaaaah, freedom.

[gtz1975]

I'm surprised that the gorilla didn't smear his faeces all over the luggage...

[kathrowe]

I thought I'd never see this ad again. The baggage handlers union pitched a fit over it, and it was yanked from network broadcastig in a flash. No one ever forgot it, though! Hilarious.

[blinkingblythe]

00:13 From Apollo 13 (1995)

[FUNSIZEDswimmer]

he must really hate the color orange :p

[cochranexyz]

I remember a series of American Tourister commercials where the luggage was put on the conveyor belt at the airport check-in, and moves along and out of sight behind the curtain into this cage with the gorilla. Funny.

[tspooncl65]

Anybody have this version?

[AUDREY631]

Also, this is acually Willie B. ( the gorillas) cage!

[AUDREY631]

You this gorilla, Willie B., Could have broken this luggage bag. But he understoof not to

[soflaav8r]

That looks like the TSA checkpoint the day after Freaknik

[FusilliJerry82]

Does anyone use hard side luggage anymore?

[SAGEBOT500]

They must have pissed off a shitload of baggage-handlers with this commercial.

[nicksutherby]

Twenty bucks?! Where do i get mine...?

Too bad our money is pretend.

[darrellkaiser1985]

0:13

Funny stuff when it was in "Apollo 13!"

[cougarhunter32]

So is this Sheniqua or Trayron the TSA agent?

[rocker00000000000001]

go gorilla

[AUDREY631]

His name is Willie B.

[scorpius319]

That's no way to talk about your mother...

[Joe35983]

This commercial is so funny

[michaelmoval]

This commercial was used in "Apollo 13". I called the monkey "Pee-Pee The Monkey".

[AUDREY631]

His name is Willie B.

[ballsmccoy]

Mr. President your bags are here.

[GodlyAtheist]

Hahaha.. Thanks for making my day, bud.

[rip2shred]

No wonder why I had to buy 3 luggage sets over 3 years. Damn Bangkok baggage handlers.

[Novaruptani]

Thank you for posting this. This commercials is hard to find on the net fully intact.

[dubstronaut]

Too fucking funny! I don't remember this commercial!

[PatrioticPirate]

Oh, yeah! This is one o' my favorite commercials of ALL time!

[pudgepaw]

wy teacher told me about this his name is willie b.he died last year:[

[adv2k1]

really? I thought it was a man in the suit. Why would the ape be so damn angry at the suitcase?

[sf40]

It's a chimpanzee.
