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

Whirlpool Commercial - Making Your World A Little Easier

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

1970s Whirlpool Commercials?

I vaguely remember a 1970s Whirlpool television commercial that consisted mostly of female background vocals singing a tune about each appliance type while animated pictures were displayed. For instance, a stove or dishwasher somehow morphed, and divided into two. The lefthand part turned into a washer with moving silouette agitator. The righthand portion became a matching dryer showing a window like display of clothes tumbling. Anybody remember this sort of a TV ad?--Laundry Shark

I do remember the ad that your talking about where you can see the inside of each appliance. The tag line was "Whirlpool makes a better way to make a busy day...Whirlpool". Wow that stuck in my head all these years...I aint right!

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.

Hello, Newly Published Author

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.

Seems like I recall even earlier in the '70s a "slice of life" type ad featuring a little girl and her little dolly that gets washed good as new in her Mother's super capacity Imperial. At the very end of the ad, we see the washer plugged in and lighted up, and in a very brief window before fadeout and after the announcer finishes up, you can hear it running. Lawd-a-mercy if there had only been VCRs or DVRs back then!
