Sexual Harassment was so much cooler back in the day. A person with such sexual prowess as Mr. Whipple would be labeled "creepy". You just can't stand around work squeezing things around women anymore and it's sad.
I just found out about "Mr. Whipple" yesterday, this was after I bought some Charmin's at some gas station because of it being Christmas Eve.I got home and just decided to do a gag on the old Charmin thing and then I looked on the internet,finding out Dick Wilson died a month ago.I edited the video and turned it into a tribute.
P&G showed true class with this spot. Dick Wilson had it about as soft as his toilet paper! He earned about $300,000 a year doing these commercials, for which he worked about 2 or 3 weeks total.
I think the 30 sec spot told it all. P&G did not have to acknowledge Wilson's passing (death is bad PR 'ya know) but they did and showed a bit of class by running it.
OMG I actually know this guy's nephew, no joke. Mr. Whipple's nephew lives in Baumholder, Germany. Crazy!!! Don't squeeze that charmin!

All in all what a tribute to the man from whom the saying was born "Don't squeeze the Charmin"
I didn't even know he passed until I saw this commercial!

That was a really appropriate, classy thing Proctor and Gamble did to honor a true TV commercial legend. Thanks for posting it.
