Kelloggs Corn Flakes with Superman & Jimmy Olsen

[@fromthesidelines]

This "integrated" commercial appeared at the end of several episodes of "THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN" during the 1955-'56 season. Charlie Lyon is "the voice of Kellogg's", as he was during the early and mid-'50s (and the show's announcer as well).

OK, this is now my favorite commercial ever XD

[@leegraves101]

I just watched the Beverly Hillbillies the other night. Granny was looking through the kitchen and asked Jed where those 3 boxes of corn flakes went . Jed said Jethro just had breakfast.

[@michaela.mccracken4461]

Even if Superman did deliver Kellogg's Corn Flakes he'd have a tough time keeping everybody happy. More people ran out of them every morning than any other cereal. Because Kellogg's Corn Flakes tastes best to more people. Always have, still do. Don't run out at your house! Remember anytime you buy a cereal of any kind pick up a spare package of, Kellogg's Corn Flakes!

Gotta love George Reeves as Clark.

[@voiceover-impressionist]

Him and the late Christopher Reeve...

[@LODGE4444]

This is fantastic and it should have been an extra on the DVD set of the TV show.

[@Extratexture4]

Superman's publishers wouldn't allow him to sponsor the product directly, so they had Clark Kent do it.

[@TJ-di2cx]

Glad you stopped by for breakfast Jimmy *because we certainly didn't just spend the night together, fifties America!*

[@kenrg]

LMAO - And just why is Clark Kent making breakfast for Jimmy Olsen? Boy, is Lois ever gonna be pissed!

[@straightforward_known_familiar]

Thought of the same haha

[@ky-gp4sz]

Lois wasn’t allowed to be in the commercial with them. It was deemed not appropriate for them to be eating breakfast with her but Clark and Jimmy could eat together.

[@leeclark4495]

How did Superman pay the store cashier so fast for the corn flakes when he obviously grabbed it off the shelf and flew in and out in a blur? Don't tell me Superman shoplifted the box.

[@marysanders4231]

He probably had a charge account. Lots of people had accounts at neighborhood stores back then. I walked in picked up what ever my mother sent me for and said charge and was on my way

[@georgeplagianos6487]

@@marysanders4231 are you sure about that ? Many police go into stores and the owner just hands it to them they don't put it up their tab they don't do credit they just give it to them.. out here in Bay Ridge Brooklyn cops seem to do that all the time.. A day ago I was at a pizza store they ordered some calzones the owner doesn't take any money from them they're all in cahoots with each other over there meaning they let infractions slide I'm not giving Department of Sanitation fines for double-parking even delivery cars are staying on crosswalks for hours during this pandemic they can get away with anything owners. I'm sure I've done that with Superman

[@DavidHauserLoveGuide]

IT makes me happy! Thanks!

[@sclogse1]

The music really helped make superman.

[@operazine]

Wait. Jimmy spent the night at Clark's house?

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

operazine Lois Lane wasn't allowed to be in the commercials because it would look like Lois and Clark slept together! So what are we to think of this??????

[@samrobacker346]

McGannahan Skjellyfetti right. But kind of even weirder

[@straightforward_known_familiar]

@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427 The same xD

[@johnlowe5424]

At the beginning, Clark tells Jimmy thanks for stopping by for breakfast.

[@marysanders4231]

@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427 Jimmy Olsen might not have been gay but Jack Larson was

[@thomaswolf723]

Lois wasn't invited to join Clark and Jimmy for breakfast because the morals of the day would not permit it. It would be too suggestive.

[@kevinlambert2756]

And today we know the actor was gay..who played Jimmy..

[@lloydkline7245]

Wow. Super Great commercial

[@TheStudyOfPedro]

Did he put sugar in it?

[@jad8123]

I wonder how long the young kid was on the box of Corn Flakes and who was he?

[@handinside]

When did they start putting the rooster on the box?

[@agirlwithacamera9990]

Kenneth Besselman 1991

[@MrJamesrnolan]

Poor Jimmy, he just doesn't have a clue. Supes must've been a whiz at time management to fetch that box of cereal and return to the pad and find time to deal with characters like Lex Luthor (who most likely ate a fat 'n' cholesterol-filled breakfast and ignored the importance of grain-based cereals) and Mr Myzpklyk, er, Mr. Mxy..aw forget it, let the guy say his own name backwards...

[@olddude521]

I( want a Jimmy Olson bow tie!

[@cellytron]

I love how they're outright telling you to buy TWO boxes every time you go shopping. And where does Superman keep money in that outfit, anyway??

[@jccw227]

Cel Harris I know one comic revealed that he has a pocket inside his cape where he keeps money.

[@SB992REBORN]

His Superman Credit Card, easy.!

[@thisjustincomics]

Wonder how stale those are now...

[@SB992REBORN]

Nhe

[@StevieStitches]

Clark Kent: "Glad you stopped by for breakfast, Jimmy." Jim Olsen eats Corn Flakes cereal. KZbin douchebags: "Gay! Jimmy spent the night at Clark's house and Clark's making breakfast? LMAO"
