This first one is a 1967 commercial entitled: "Shape Up or Ship Out." Because I am totally blind, would somebody mind giving a little word picture of any displayed makes of machines in this ad?--Laundry Shark CLICK HERE TO GO TO laundryshark's LINK |

As far as I cam tell, a little difference in the wording near the end of this ad from the previous version. Any variations in the video itself?--Laundry Shark CLICK HERE TO GO TO laundryshark's LINK |

I was always amazed at the irony of Whirlpool and Kenmore BD washers when they had all the newest, jazzy looking technology on their control panels running decades-old, very mechanically complex Rube Golberg innards. Wig-wag anyone? |

At the end was the lovely summing up with "Whirlpool makes a better way to make a busy day...Whirlpool" cut to great graphics of a whirlpool forming the logo which would go in front of the corporate name. Mama's washer at that time was a Whirlpool (with that damn hair brush lint filter that was like pulling teeth to clean), so always paid keen attention to the commercial. L. |

Here are the descriptions, Mister Wade Laundryshark: In the first commercial, a Scotland Yard contingent accosts a Maytag Man look-alike, for under-performing, ripping off his Whirlpool insignias, from his breast pocket, arms and, most wickedly, off his back!! Very neo-naziesque and discomfiting because the point of view is pro-nazi. Yick ! The second one is much nicer, right off of bajespuma's drawing board: there are beautiful hues of blue and purple as the appliances are sketched in skeletal blueprint form, three dimensional, stove, fridge, washer & dryer. It's very futuristic and "electronic." I'll view the other and describe them for you later. |
