It must have seemed lke a good idea at the time - an airline marketing their stewardesses as sexy seductresses. In this commercial, the Braniff stewardess removes her Pucci designer outfit to a playful strip tease number, until she's slipped into something a bit more comfortable for those long, evening flights. Proving that advertising does work, Joan Rivers made a career in the Eighties telling trashy stewardess jokes. The Chiffons, a famous 60's girl group, sings an anthem to early designer jeans in this early-Seventies radio spot for HIS Jeans . Jerry Lee was known as a raucous rocker who virtually ended his career by marrying his cousin - eventually making a comeback as a country artist.
Networks have to sell themselves, too.
Brilliant execution, Tiger Paws even advertised tires for kid's bicycles under the brand name. After this commercial started running repeatedly on kid shows, Mr. Bubble became a household name. The commercial was filmed for broadcast on their brother Groucho's show, 'You Bet Your Life'. An unforgettable series of commercials for Pillsbury's Hungry Jack Biscuits. Hungryyyyy, Hungry Jack.
