  • Obviously they would connect Pepsodent with Get Smart considering that "99" was mostly I would see on Pepsodent Commercials.

  • Zirconium Silicate? This must be before society developed an irrational fear of science.

  • "This commercial was filmed in front of a live studio audience".

  • owned nuff said

  • Agent 13 !!!! Thanks for post Really !! Who was that guy trivia thing going on ! Agent 13 !!!:) Are there more of him and Don ???

  • Hilarious! Didn't know they did promo's, thanks for posting!! :)

  • Gotta love older commercials :-D

  • Interesting. A laugh track added to a commercial.

  • We've come full circle since those days. It's only been in the past few years that there's been a revival of the trend of running commercials featuring TV stars during their own shows (not network promos, paid ads). 30 Rock does it all the time.

  • What i'd love to see again is that old commercial for that Skittles game (its like duck-pin bowling, but with a tether ball) that Don used to do as Max

  • You're talking about Skittle Pool, from arund the early 70's. They made a couple of commercials with Don Adam's for that game. I used to have one of those, and I wish I still did (my mother threw it out around 1980 after I moved away). It would probably be a collector's item now!

  • Gotta love the old way! I hate when they smash end titles to the side. Lets bring back the full screen titles for every show!

  • What the fuck ever happened to their claim of Irium????? HAHA....

  • Now that's some comic genius! Why the heck is that funnier than anything I can see today??? Weird

  • Because today's commercials are too fucked up and outlandishly retarded. The 60s utilized intelligent humor in their commercials.

  • well miss Don Adams.

  • Cool commercial, in the age when chemicals were our friends! Thanks for the post!

  • You can't remake classic TV or classic films. It only shows that writers can't think out of the box for new material. No wonder the actors want to go on strike, they'll probably try and do Hogan's Heroes and the next big screen effort. Idiots!

  • You're absolutly right! There's nothing like the original classics, you can improve technology all you want but leave our classic tv for us to watch!!

  • Exactly! The Get Smart film was appalling! Apparently "I Dream of Jeannie" will be up on the chopping block soon... there's one I'll be glad to miss!

  • What do you mean!? The Get Smart movie was a VERY good 'homage', try not to see it as a remake.

  • Sorry, but in my opinion throwing in a couple of poorly-placed catchphrases and tacking Get Smart character names on generic action-movie characters does not make a good homage. What I saw on the screen didn't even resemble the show, characters or style I loved in the original show. Of course, you have a perfect right to enjoy it, but I will state that I emphatically did not. It seems we must agree to disagree. :)

  • Exactly! It seemed like the writers tried to write a few catchphrases around some really bad dialogue. I saw the trailer and didnt laugh once, so i tried to watch the film on DVD as if it wasn't a Get Smart movie, and it was still bad. God Help us all, because Get Smart #2 is in the works.

  • Lever Brothers {Pepsodent, Lifebuoy, etc.} co-sponsored "GET SMART" during its first three seasons with R.J. Reynolds {Salem} [1965-'68]- as was the custom, "Max" and some of the cast appeared in an "integrated comedy commercial" for their sponsors at the end of the episode. Here, it's a 1967 spot for "new" Pepsodent- these "plugs" usually took place in a supermarket. Dick Tufeld is the announcer; a tube of Pepsodent would appear in the lower left-hand corner of the closing credits as well...

  • Don Adams was so great. How could anyone have cast that horrible Steve Carell in the new movie????

  • Did you see it yet? I happened to like it, but that's me.

  • Yes I did. I thought it stunk. I thought the script was bad and the casting was worse. Well, at least they didn't cast Leslie Nielsen as Max.

  • Well I don't watch the show as much as I want to, so I'm a little undereducated. Everybody is entitled to their opinion I guess.

  • carlynutt--how right you are--we should congrat. hollywood again-for trying to destroy the legend of get smart tv series--stand by for the release of the day the earth stood still 2008-this will be the ultimate no! movie--

  • Agreed, remaking Get Smart, and "TDTESS" or the "new" Star Trek next year with someone else playing Captain Kirk, is like the criminals who have gone in the Louvre, and painted a mustache on the Mona Lisa!!!

  • i was just watching don addams in the the bio special and seen this commercial preview--watch out if its owned by viacom/nbc--i am only joking,but they're not--theirs only one maxwell smart-he made that show--feldon wasnt even invited to do a cameo--but that pimp,bad actor with the eyebrow ,rock was there--i cant remember his agents number on the series--thanks for posting-

  • The problem is in the script, not in Carrel.

  • I disagree. Carell is overrated. The only thing he's been the least bit tolerable in was Little Miss Sunshine and that is only because of the stellar ensemble cast he had surrounding him.

  • Well, if you insist, but I can't think of anybody offhand who would have done a better job as Max. With a good script, I wouldn't have minded Carrell. He's not the reason the characters are written completely differently.

  • I will grant you that I cannot think of anyone who could have done a better job than Carell with the Maxwell Smart character, for that matter I can't think of anyone who could have been worse either. But who am I to say, since the movie was #1 box office over the weekend. Ms. Hathaway sure is lovely to look at though.

  • No...sorry about that...but the problem is in the script and Carrel, the script is a retread of every plot device from the series and instead of a tribute to Don Adams Carrel who looks like him refused to do Don Adams characteristic voice inflections and mannerisms to a sufficient degree to make it funny and nostalgically a reminder of the greatness that once was in the hands of pros like Don Adams, Barbara Feldon and Ed Platt, not to mention the lack of Mel Brooks and Buck Henrys clever writing

  • ooooohh yeaaaaaa! love it, love it..do you have more?

  • I hope he does!
