Why does Charlie want to be Starkist. Why would he want to be eaten?

[Bertonator]

@Stephen10528 I think he thinks he'll be a spokesfish. But then, Starkist keep rejecting him, so go figure.

The Alka-Seltzer ad with the cave man made me think of Mel Brooks' "History of the World Part One." I loved the commercial spoofing on the Jeno's Pizza Roll commercial. "Mrs. Johnson" made me remember "Mrs. Olson" from the old Folgers commercials. That Judy in the Cheer commercial was quite the boobalicious babe.

[Bertonator]

@bigkdrman1 Judy was a cutie, especially on The Electric Company!

Yes, the Jeno's ad WAS produced by Stan Freberg in 1969 (he's also the one off-camera who talks about "cleaner blouses")- Patty Regan is "Mrs. Louise Clark". Mort Marshall is the voice of the "Trix Rabbit". General Mills primarily sponsored (and owned) "Rocky & Bullwinkle" and "Underdog"- hence, their occasional use as premiums in "Big G" cereals. That's George S. Irving and Paul Dooley in the Gillette Foamy spot. Herschel Bernardi is "Charlie"- Henry Corden is his "friend" in the Star-Kist ad.

[yogafan6500]

The Cheer comercial with Judy Graubart is so hot looking then.

[TimelordR]

@cynmarie33 If it were only that simple...

[elderberry9]

@Bertonator Yeah, she should have been a much bigger star.

[regressing2apes]

cool

[fromthesidelines]

You're quite welcome, 'Bertonator'. Incidentally, I forgot to tell that, in the "Triactin" ad, veteran New York character/commercial actor Bill McCutcheon is the first "victim", and Bill Fiore (who appeared in hundreds of commercials, including the Right Guard ads opposite Chuck McCann) is the guy next to the lady.
