THANX for uploading ! Love these vintage TV commericals ! The husband in this one was played by John Lupton, who had a love career in movies & TV.

Indubitably ! It is rather droll ! 🙂

Red Skelton used this as a puncline a lot of times.

I have fond memories of watching Red's CBS variety show on Tues nights as a kid in the 60s !

He's pissed because on the way home from work he heard on the radio that the internet is still 40 years away. The most exciting tech he has to look forward to is the vacuum cleaner.

[@hebneh]

The most famous of these Anacin commercials was the first one, which used the line "Mother, please! I'd rather do it myself!" That became a gag phrase used widely at the time, even in a rock song.

[@hughie1]

Absolutely, hebneh! I had forgotten all about this series of Anacin commercials until one appeared on a re-run of What's My Line the other night. When our mother became exasperated with us we'd imitate her reaction by saying that familiar "Mother, PLEASE...!" line. She'd end up laughing.

[@irish89055]

[@Nerd_Who_Lifts]

I should’ve been alive in the 60s 😂

[@afinch93]

Tell me about it

[@seanferry183]

This is because he just heard “All My Loving” by The Beatles on Ed Sullivan and that racket by those boys with the girls’ hair is driving him nutso. (No but seriously, this was the first commercial after that, you can see Sullivan for a split-second in the beginning.)

[@dhpbear2]

Yeah, you could tell that he wasn't into all that "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" music :)

[@briane173]

That square was uptight - part of the Establishment. He mellowed out after he went to Woodstock.

[@briones82]

I love watching these old commercials for some reason. It makes me feel happy inside, just knowing how old it is, and the history in the black and white tv. I wish I was born in the mid 1900s

[@yoncalla44]

Not so much black and white TV per se, so much as the days of live television. I remember that time well, and there were some REALLY funny episodes on them! -Tony Arioli

[@briane173]

It sorta harkens back to a simpler time. For me it's nostalgia; I was about 7 years old when these commercials first aired on TV.

[@Rtu776]

There’s Helen again. Always going on about “we have to be here. We have to be there.” Jeesh. Give a guy a break.

[@LegitMan335]

Watching these just makes me cry 😢

[@stephenowen1372]

Beaver Cleaver's teacher, and "Tom Jeffords", from the series, "Broken Arrow". Good actors.

[@Juliaflo]

A/K/A Sue Randall and John Lupton.

[@hoagie1978]

The little girl is actress is Suzanne Cupito (aka...Morgan Brittany). As a child she appeared in many TV series and films. She played one of the daughters in Yours, Mine and Ours with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. In the 70's she changed her name to Morgan Brittany and had a hit run on the TV series Dallas in the 80's as the evil Katherine Wentworth.

[@vustation]

Wow! I actually remember when this commercial ran daily for ya few years, thanks

[@briane173]

0:18 "Probably not a good time to show him my fresh tramp stamp."

[@illuminotmereloaded6896]

Woman’s name is Ellen, not Doris. No mention of Billy, a bike, or a driveway. Plus the ad is for anacin, not Bufferin. Pretty wild that a search for “Doris can you keep Billy’s bike out of the driveway” links to this.

[@bobsiyt6548]

All the ‘Sopranos’ fans here (myself included), but there is no mention of Billy’s bike being in the driveway. That guy had it wrong, or there’s another commercial we’re missing.

Not true. Even in 1964 wife beating was illegal & frowned upon by the authorities.

[@lindaroot1752]

I wish original Anacin was on the market roday

[@jubalcalif9100]

I looked it up and ANANIN is still around. A combo of caffeine & aspirin.

[@stephenowen1372]

John Lupton played Tom Jeffords on the program, "Broken Arrow". Sue Randall had a recurring role as Beaver's kindly teacher on "Leave it to Beaver".

[@briane173]

Run this at 0.25X speed and he sounds pretty menacing.

[@stevepatrick3013]

At least they decided against using the slogan “Anacin, take it and avoid domestic violence”

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

What was that "extra ingredient"? Caffeine? Barbituates? Opium?

Nor mine. Even at the age of 6 I saw this commercial and I was like "What a dick! Glad he ain't _my_ dad." My heart ached for the mom. Back then I had empathy (wonder what happened).
