Let's seek out and discuss made up pitch-people we don't see anymore.

Haha! Mr. Whipple is gone! Now you get bears shitting in the woods!

but they don't shit anymore since Charmin took over Royale (was it Royale?). Now they find other things to do with the t.p.
Those bears fucking sold out. They used to be the first t.p. ad that at least made reference to what t.p. is for, and now Charmin has taken that away.

Where's the beef? Why did the checks stop coming?

Because she died?

Those charmin bears are so damn well animated. Um, commercials suck but I enjoy seeing those ones every time.

How else to appeal to the Jackass generation? Soft and cuddly rarely sells these days.

CHASE THE CHUCKWAGON

"Probably the most notorious of all Atari 2600 games, and perhaps the most misunderstood. This game was only available via mail order from Ralston-Purina, making it very hard to find today. It is often cited as the most sought-after Atari 2600 game, but we at AtariAge do not even rank it in the top 40 most rare games. While there are other titles that are more rare, few can match the interesting provenance of Chase the Chuckwagon. The box and manual are extremely hard to find however, and may sell for even more than the cartridge. And no, Ralston-Purina does not have any remaining copies of this game. They have been contacted about it so many times, that they finally did some research and discovered that all unsold copies had been destroyed. Incidentally, this is also one of the lamest games for the Atari 2600, but people aren’t paying for game-play with this one..."

Hahah! Good friend Jake actually found a copy of this.

James Lileks did a whole thing on this

there are some pretty good ads in there, too.

It's mostly about failed advertising campaigns, but Robert Berry of Retrocrush has some forgettable mascots.
