We spent 12 hours in that bowl. The leotards were uncomfortable, and we all felt like complete idiots till the checks arrived. The actors i remember were Barney Martin, (Arthur, Chicago, Seinfeld), in front, Me, (Bob Barry), behind/right, David Doyle (Charlie's Angels) front/left, Ted Chapman front/right. Directer/Steve Horn/production group, Horn/Griner. Ad agency-Grey Advertising, Claudia Walden-casting Director.

Not the kind of commercial you would want to see if you were on an acid trip, I would imagine.

@jazzbear17 I had heard that F. Murray Abraham also proudly wore the leotard.
Personally, I think if they could write an opera based on Anna Nicole Smith that someone should be able to expand your roles and produce this on Broadway. (Singing raisons are at least as much fun as Mormons!)

@jazzbear17 I realize that I'm responding to a 3 year old comment, but I had to respond. You guys may have felt like idiots in the "raisin" shirts and berets, but how would you like to have been the guy who was "Big Fig" in the Nabisco Fig Newtons spot from that same year? At least you guys only did that one spot. He had a whole series of spots where he wore that ugly costume. And you guys only had to lip sync - he sang the jingle and had a dance to do as well! Oh well, I loved both ads.

That was David Doyle to Barney Martin's right? I always thought it was comic actor Joey Faye (from the "Mack & Myer for Hire" shorts). Live and learn. The George Carlin piece that mentions this ad is classic - "another raisin for peace", indeed! Truth be told, I was never a Raisin Bran fan, but I always liked this ad.

MOOOAAAR raisins!

I'm not sure whether to be amused or scared. >_>

That specific George Carlin piece brought me here. :D
What did you do, +16 dB at 3kHz? While I'm glad you posted this, the audio about blew me across the room!

Yikes, sorry...I pulled this straight from a collector's CD-ROM, so any encoding weirdness happened upstream from me. I'll keep a better eye on the levels next time.
