70s Spots: Ray-O-Vac (Burgess Meredith) & Bactine (1977)

Power trio!
(Nipsey Russell, Ruth Buzzi, and Burgess Meredith for Ray-O-Vac, 1977)

“Get something started with Ray-O-Vac!”

Here’s a dandy, celebrity-filled spot for Ray-O-Vac batteries. The commercial aired in December of 1977 and features Nipsey Russell, Ruth Buzzi, and Burgess Meredith. Star powah!

After that, a classic spot for Bactine with a focus on soothing those dastardly mosquito bites. Poor lil’ Sam! This one aired in May of ’77 (and appears to have been produced in ’75 or ’76 according to the copyright).
