The blithe quality of this stupid toy commercial (promoting violence and perpetuating racial stereotypes, oh my!) still tickles me, over thirty years later. I wish I had written that jingle!
The Kool-Aid guy smashing through the fence, if you can link to it from here, is goofy in a similarly devil-may-care way.
Where would I have gone for this before YouTube? I'm writing a novel set in the suburban 1970s and this is a very useful research tool for re-creating the TV reality.
Wishing you a beautiful day,
Bill Brent
