Watching Cartoon Commercials on a Sunday


On Sunday morning, the first in October, shall we be industrious and fruitful? No, I don't think so, definitely not. Feel more like this guy right now!


So this Sunday, we're watching 1950's commercials, starting with our favorites, Bob & Ray, as Bert and Harry Piel.





The Wizard Wick Deodorizer Company gently reminds overworked and under-appreciated 1950's housewives that offensive odors linger in your home for hours!



Can't wait to celebrate National Jell-o Week!



Don't forget, modern gas brings home automation!



The gang here especially likes animated cigarette commercials.



Relax - it's light up time!



Instead of the dance of the hours today, it's the dance of the marching cigarettes.



On the topic of marching cigarettes, animation and painting genius Oskar Fischinger beat everyone to the punch.



Indeed, we Way Too Damn Lazy To Write a Blog love love love stop-motion commercials, especially those produced by Joop Geesink's Dollywood.



Not the late great Dolly Parton's Dollywood, but Joop Geesink's Dollywood!





How do we finish this post, while pondering that smoking was actually allowed on commercial flights in the 1950's?



With the Hamm's Bear and Spike Jones, of course!



Thanks yet again to Mike Kazaleh, Steve Stanchfield, Dutch Vintage Animation (and their splendid YouTube channels) as well as Internet Archive for these cool vintage commercials!
