"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
Most of the old commercials have an underlying current of class, even the funny ones.
These days, those sort of commercials are the exception, not the rule. Which is why I routinely deploy the mute button during the infrequent occasions that I watch TV.
The thing I liked about the commercial (aside from the cool beat) is that it showed the flip side of the hippie/beach movie/biker side of the 1960s. There's an element of cool sophistication and simple but elegant fashion (the men are smoking cheap cigars, sadly, but what can you do?)

ReplyDeleteAnd savior. Often the only thing that makes TV watchable, in my opinion.
