@ilovelucyfan12 Well after their show got cancelled, their movie was a bomb, their record sales tanked, and Peter left this what they were reduced to doing.
@HCShannon Of course, that's basically how they got there money, it's sad though to think that had nothing better they could do for money and had to do these commercials
They were all under contract to do these commercials. They had signed contracts at the very beginning of the Monkees, never knowing how successful they'd become. It's obvious none of them were happy about doing this, but if you'd ever broken a contract you'd understand the grief you would be subjected to probably wouldn't make it worth it.
@dewstar100 funny thing about that, I just read on wiki that that was Mike's last commitment obligation to the Monkees. After he said that last line, he was done. No more Monkees. :-(
@cooldudebailey Peter isn't a sellout! At least until he and the other Monkees took part in that Pizza Hut commercial with Ringo Starr a few years ago.
A group forged together for commercial sucess ends up doing Kool-Aid commercials. Sad isn't it? When you sell you soul for a couple of bucks...who's going to listen to you after this?
@5inthehole: Apparently you, along with me and a few million others, are still listening to, and commenting on, this "Sad" group 45 years later via a technology that was non-existent when they were first "forged together."
I love Micky's deadeyed stare at the beginning, like he didn;t know the camera was on. Mike's "over-it" expression while sitting on the stairs at the end is funny, too. The Monkees rock!
Oh goodness, how I love the internets.. And the undying enthusiasm Nez inspires in me for all things nerf. Yes.

As this ad is copyright 1970, this had to be one of the very last things Nesmith did for the Monkees before he bought his way out!
Micky and Mike are just "there", compared to Davy (big surprise) !

I feel so bad for them. If I had to be in that many commercials, I'd probably end up shooting myself.
