Classic "Oral B Toothbrush" Ad from 1984

This is the much parodied ad.. "This man is a dentist...". His face is never shown. But he does show us which toothbrush he uses. In fact, 2 out of 3 dentists use them -- allegedly. If I'm not mistaken, that's John Laws doing the voice over.

I wondered too but, I remember in one toothbrush commercial that the announcer in the background said "this man never shows his face on television." Maybe this was the commercial but, they cut that line out. (I guess the main reason why some people don't show their faces on television is because, they're very shy).

Fuck me! Was that brush second from the bottom made for a horse or something? It's huge!!

the new ads use an actor. this one uses a real dentist. back in the early eighties when dentists, doctors etc were not allowed to advertise... thus he really couldn't show his face. As an aside, he still operates a very busy surgery in the eastern suburbs of sydney.

I want to make a public apology about my statement here about Oral B, Oral B will give a 2 year warranty with this toothbrush. I acted out of emotion before I considered that perhaps it was the store that held the tooth brushes too long on self before they sold them. My accusations were unfair to Oral B. I Sincerely apologize. George

Does anyone know the name of the actor who plays the dentist?
