No wonder I used to be so scared as a kid to watch tv in the 70's! Jeez!

LSD doesn't do much for spellling, though.

Pause it at exactly 0:21, the "tall stranger" has the face of duck!

Television commercials are a form of religious literature. They put forward a concept of sin, intimations of the way to redemption, and a vision of Heaven. - Neil Postman, Conscientious Objections, Chapter 6

An iconic Ken Nordine piece. I had forgotten this commercial existed, but I regard it rather "high" in the museum of advertising. If it were in the service of a political or ethical issue, it would be subversive, but in the mission of selling product, it's just another expression of the capitalist creed.

@arleighb I don't think so I haven't found it as yet....

@brownsugah66 did anyone post the video for that levi's commercial? I used to love that one, and I have it memorized too!

I will never forget that stranger and what he did for my town.

Was this commercial directed by George Romero?
