Thank you for finding this commercial! When I was a child in the 1960s. This was the funniest commercial ever.

[@TheRealLaughingGravy]

I think this might be the funniest commercial ever filmed. It's perfect.

[@JohnnyCNote]

Thanks for posting this! I've been looking for it for ages…

Originally seen in 1967. Character actor Ronald Long (he guest starred on "LOST IN SPACE", "I DREAM OF JEANNIE", and "BEWITCHED" during the late '60s) is the unwilling prune taster. Freberg also wrote and produced this one...

Ronald Long. Wonderful graceful actor.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I agree 100 per cent ! Pure class !

[@lairdminor]

I love this commercial. Was just thinking about it and here it is! Thanks for posting it.

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

Ah, Sunsweet, when the Santa Clara Valley grew ag instead of Si chips, LOL.

It won a "Clio" (the Academy Award of Madison Avenue)

[@jubalcalif9100]

I'm not surprised ! It's a wonderfully funny & inventive commercial ! British born character actor Ronald Long was perfectly cast ! :-)

[@Falcon7001]

Stan Freberg (the writer and off screen voice) at his best.

Go to wikipedia, and read the UNUSUAL history of the Clio awards. The 1991 award ceremony was quite ODD. For many of the early years of the Clio award, the main purpose for the award ceremony was to collect a nomination fee, from the Clio award nominees. You got a chance for an award if you cough up the dough. The owner of the award show made 2 & 1/2 million dollars in 1972, which mostly came from the nomination fees.

Now we know who Sebastian Gorka emulated. 🤣

[@simonabbott]

how do they remove the pit though?

[@denvan3143]

They do it.

[@rcd2066]

Do I get a share of the winnings?

[@nhtom8]

We still don't know how they remove the pits. But 15 minutes can save you 15%...

[@nancysikes]

He is superb.

[@beanman5361]

Seconds after that guy was done filming the commercial, he got massive diarrhea.

[@destroyernoah]

I looked up a prune commercial to make a witty comment about diarrhea.

[@lindaeasley5606]

Very clever ,well done commercial. There is no talent in advertising anymore. Just people with sociopolitical messages to push
