“A little dab of Brylcreem on your hair gives you the Brylcreem bounce.”

Here’s two fun spots from the fall of 1972. The first, a Brylcreem commercial from October ’72, features a fellow called Jim and a Beach Boys-style jingle. Does anyone still use Brylcreem? It first appeared in the 1920s and is still available today.

After that, enjoy an Alka-Seltzer spot from November ’72 with a weekly poker game theme.
