What else are they serving over at IHOP?
This IHOP commercial from 1969 is pretty weird, but is it really evidence of someone being "a little too Rooty Tooty on the Fresh and Fruity," as the YouTube description suggests? That sounds like something Potsie Weber would say. Regardless, we’re spooked by that helium-fed eunuch voice too, and even more so by the food shown in the ad. None of us could tell what any of it was, and being unable to recognize what you’re eating is more of a Waffle House thing. |

Lol. Is that how families typically worked up an IHOP style hunger back then? The constant smiling and sickeningly high singing makes this whole commercial seem more psychotic than the good, wholesome, family fun I'm sure they were going for. Changing the music would REALLY have helped. But the balloon imagery was lovely. *.* (currently remembering her childhood love affair with balloons)

I bet you that the music was created by Tabby Andriello. Check out his tunes here:
