“It’s like pizza- on top of pizza!”

Yesterday we indulged in the beer – now, here’s the pizza. Two spots for Pizza Hut to be precise.

In the first commercial (aired in Jan.’76, produced in ’74) we have a family fussing over “chewy” versus “crispy” slices. In the second spot (from ’78) we have a table of fellows, which includes Richard Kline from Three’s Company, extremely excited about Pizza Hut’s “Super Style.” Bite into it.

“If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the beer…”

It’s going to be a beer and pizza weekend here at the ‘Disco. Today, we’ve got a pair of Miller High Life commercials. The first focuses on a ski rescue team and the second glorifies US truckers. Either way, “It’s Miller time.”
