In this strange example of 1950s Television worthy of a WTF reaction, We see a really weird commercial for Texaco and a song "performance" which will leave you....shocked, really suprised and going WTF. From "Texaco Star Theatre", the hit comedy-variety 50s TV series that, uh, featured about 3 or so really long commercials per an episode instead of dozens of small ones.

  • MIlton Berle's "TEXACO STAR THEATER" (1948-'53) had only ONE commercial in each telecast- a six minute "intermission" in the middle of the program. In earlier seasons, Sid Stone did a "sidewalk salesman" routine {"Tell you what I'm gonna do..."}, delivering a "spiel" for Texaco gasoline or another of their fine products. In the 1952-'53 season, he was replaced by ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson- with his dummies "Danny O'Day", "Farfel the Dog", and "Humphrey Higby"- as a Texaco "service man"...

  • Those dummies sure have "WTF" written all over them.

  • those dummys are the stuff of nightmares!

  • This was wonderful! Haha!

  • makes ya kinda wanna slap 'em, ay? hehehe
