The Greatest Television Commercial Of All Time

This is, quite simply, the greatest television commercial of all time:

(thanks for the tip, Drew)

I have no idea how this ad got through the rigorous misogyny focus grouping of Don Draper's office, but it's a work of genius. Because it's true, the only person that super shitty kids who are such assholes to their parents will listen to about calcium is famed character actor Robert Loggia? Who looks like he's about to stuff this whole breakfast in the trunk of his LeSabre? This ad is actually a little bit depressing because I know that no matter how hard I try, a million Gabes typing on a million typewriters for a million years could never come up with something this mind-blowing.

This is a series Minute Maid needs to come back to. I can see it now...

"Well, then who would you believe?"

"I don't know. Richard Jenkins? John Carroll Lynch? Ricky Jay?"

Sorry, no. No, this is not the greatest television commercial of all time. This one is the pinnacle of advertising subtlety and effectiveness:
