Barbara Cason is the waitress in the Maxwell House commercial. She's also in the second Imperial margarine ad, as "Vickie." That Jeno's Pizza Rolls ad was one of several for Jeno's products that were written and directed by Stan Freberg during the mid-to-late '60s. That's George S. Irving and Paul Dooley in the Gillette Foamy lemon-lime ad. Hal Linden does the voiceover in the PanAm Holidays commercial. Hostess Ding Dongs were sold in some markets as Big Wheels, and in some others as King Dons.

Absorbine Jr. - voices by Paul Frees and Paul Winchell. Sugar Smacks - voiceover by Gary Owens, of "Laugh In". Hence the "Smack it to 'em!" tagline. Spic N Span - "Chicken Lickin" Ron Carey (of "Barney Miller") as the restaurant guy. Apple Jacks - Voiceover by Daws Butler. SEGO - Naomi Lewis as the brunette with the cake. Voiceover by Gary Owens. Jeno's Pizza Rolls commercials are by Stan Freberg. The "Lone Ranger" commercial spoofs the Lark Cigarettes "Show Us Your Lark Pack" commercials. The Lark commercials would be spoofed on a very early episide of "SNL", as "Show Us Your Guns!", to demonstrate just how many guns are out there.
