Stinks
Actually a well-produced high quality and charming 1950's commercial, but the product stinks. Really stinks up the place bad.
Oh, and download this commercial, it's nice.
EDIT: My original review had mocked a "critically acclaimed" show that has/had ended up on ABC-2 in the land down under.
Now for a change: Some (but not most) of you know I uploaded this under one of my rabbit-like accounts. The commercial is well-produced but seems laughable now. That said, it would be nice to see commercials done like this again, BUT for a completely different product. Maybe a beverage or snack. The product may be stupid, but there are some things to learn about how to produce amusing advertising from this.
So, huh?

"One puff and the taste is gone..."
As a kid of the 60's, I remember the various cigerette and anti-cigerette commerials being among the most clever, catchy, and fun to watch. Tarlton would rather "...fight than switch." 101's were a "silly millimeter longer", and a lone cigerette named "Johnny Smoke" rode the plains looking for smokers the bury on boot hill. ("Where are you a headin', Johnny Smoke...")
Yeah, the products sure did stink up the room, but the commercials were often the life of the party.
