[MotleySteve90]

I hear dead voice, I see a dead man and poop

[UnoriginallyInclined]

Why was the cheese green at 1:10?

[georgia2534]

@UnoriginallyInclined I Think it's green pesto well I'm hoping it is lol

The "Italian Chef" in the first spot was supposed to be the equivalent of Chef Hector Boiardi {"Chef Boy-Ar-Dee"}, who appeared in TV commercials during the '50s to personally pitch his boxed spaghetti dinners, pizza mix, and other canned pasta products. Unlike the real Chef, THIS guy's merely an actor with a broad stereotypical accent, like J. Carrol Naish's 'Luigi Basco' on radio/TV's "LIFE WITH LUIGI", and Joe Kirk's "Baccigalupe" on "THE ABBOTT & COSTELLO SHOW".

yummy, drive in movie pizza

[Silvertrine]

And we wonder why people back then were less fat.

[courtneylandreau]

To everyone saying the pizzas are small: this was made in the fifties. Back then portion sizes were much smaller. I remember seeing a comparison of fountain drinks from the seventies to today. Their large was our small in many cases. Even today I'll get a medium coke someplace and swear I ordered large based on the size...that's why I just get small. That's probably the proper size anyway. It's incredible the way things have changed.

[scarypowers]

it looked aweful...looks like those cheap ass TONY"S PIZZA's ya get frozen at the market......but they sure work in a pinch...

[curewindy2]

[mcdonaldization]

Mmmm pizza I shit you not

[classicphile]

As I understand it, there was a time when the only place you could buy a pizza was at the Drive in theater. Anyways, the pizza in the first commercial, too little cheese. The rest of them resemble frozen pizzas I can buy in any supermarket today.

[snarkdetriomphe]

lol our pizza is the mosta.

[MediaWatchDawg]

When I'm hungry for pizza, I IMMEDIATELY think of the drive-in snack bar.

Six pieces of pepperoni was plenty during a time when people weren't so amazingly fat as a group. Back then, fewer than 1 in 8 people were considered obese. Now, it's more like 1 in 3.

So any fat anti-semites, feel free to gorge yourselves, but have the decency to die before we have to pay for your medical care, seeing as you wasted the money spent on your schooling.

[timmafee0]

only 6 pieces of pepperoni. he must be a jewish chef

[jasonspell]

Jews don't eat pork, and they don't mix meat and cheese in the same meal.

[CubsFan2812]

Thats some damn good sound quality for a fifties commercial!

[xsean68x]

PIZZA PIZZA PIZZA!

[Beck436]

The second time, they slap a black person's hand away!

[TEHOMGZSTFUNOOB]

OMFGWTF THAT BE SO RACIST! OMG. IT'S A BLACK MAN, EVEN THOUGH THEY'D DO IT TO ANYONE WITH ANY COlOR SKIN AND JUST BECAUSE THEY DID IT TO A BLACK MAN MAKES IT WRONG, HOLY SHIT. RACISM. BITCH BITCH MOAN MOAN.

[Beck436]

It was a joke. In fact, I was poking fun at that sort of thing. Your irrelevant sarcasm is overwhelming; turn off your caps.

[TEHOMGZSTFUNOOB]

And yes..I was pointing out that a ton of people make something like this out as racist to bitch about. ~ It's hard to detect sarcasm on the interwebs. lulz. NEEDS MORE CAPS, TOO.

[Atomduck]

I swear I think that chef is a pedophile scares the crap out of me!

[falcon5956]

[the06bug]

Get-a youself some-a!

[cooldude333]

Man, this was before pizza became mainstream. Back then, only these movie places had pizza cause it was not fully introduced until after WWII when returning war vets brought back the hunger for pizza.

[Monica15N]

that's cool..:D

[katbx1331]

thank you for the history lesson lol

[qwertasdcfghjklmo24z]

I thought Pizza Hut first opened in 1958.

[cooldude333]

Yeah, but it wasn't like BIG big. Back then, pizza hut was just another local pizzeria.  Until they started franchising, domino's came along, then delivery, all of those things made pizza the juggernaut it is today.
