Nazis used to sell Jello?!?

From 1966, a commercial from a Carol Channing special.

The spasmatic Miss Channing pops in on Colonel Hogan and his zany gang of Nazi prison camp survivors.

When Carol arrives, Corporal LeBeau has just served up a gourmet meal with some JELLO for desert - topped with Dream Whip, the rich topping that has more than just the flavor of whipped cream. Exactly WHAT more, they never say - but I've had it and it's very tasty.

When Col. Klink and Sgt. Shultz join their American prisoners for dessert, fun is had by all. Of course, Col. Klink wasn't too thrilled about his spiked helmet being used as the Jello mold...

A sign that times have changed: I bet you'll never again see a JELLO commercial set in a Nazi prison camp or with Nazi memorabilia featured prominently in the product shot.

And isn't gelatin made from bones? The implications are horrifying!

I would only disagree with your title and the use of the word, "Nazis". I never saw in all my years of watching "Hogans Heros", that Klink admitted being a Nazi. He was merely a officer in the Luftwaffe.

Hogans Heros was a light comedy set against a tragic page of history.....Thats all get over it.

@OsamaBinLooney This commercial is from 1966. Hogan's Heroes went off the air in in 1971.

@MoltaMagician This was not a scene from a TV show. It is a separate commercial that aired during Carol Channing's show, during the commercial break. They are not pitching a product during the actual storyline. Comemrcials help to sell products. People see a product advertized and, if they are interested, they buy it. Commercials are also what pays for the airtime for these shows. There is no "selling out."

@vraydio It is just a commercial featuring characters from a comedy show. It's nothing to take seriously.

@applejax89 The Underground smuggles in to them. It's a new secret weapon they are testing.

@InTecknicolour Wel, they did not have segregated prisoner of war camps. So they still would have coloured troops along with other prisoners.
