Thanks so much for posting both ads. Whenever I show friends just the pizza roll ad, they are a bit mystified.

This has been a great favorite of mine since I saw it on TV as a kid with my old man. We both thought it was fantastic largely because the Lark ads were constantly on the tube. The country was simply bombarded with the darn things. Also, you have to realize that the Lone Ranger was extremely popular at the time with the old series running in syndication.

When Jeno's ad came on, the entire family gathered to watch it. It never got old, in part because it didn't run that often compared with the never-ending string of Lark ads.

The vacant stares? Look at the setting! This is a party full of rich drunk people. Folks who buy pizza rolls are lower middle class who think little of the rich. Pizza rolls are yummier than the fancy chow of the wealthy, who are too drunk or stupid to know better.

I think I'll watch it again!!
