70s Commercials: ‘Lemon Fresh’ Joy, Shell Bugkillers, Alpo, Viva (1974-75)

Here’s a batch of commercials from 1974 and ’75. In the premiere position, we have a spot for “Lemon Fresh” Joy dishwashing liquid with an actor (blue dress, red hair) who I’m pretty sure is Holland Taylor of Bosom Buddies fame.

Following that, take in spots for Shell Bugkillers, Alpo dog food (starring Patrick Wayne), and Viva paper towels. You’ll remember the “Viva Test” in this one. Please enjoy at your leisure.
