I used to love these commercials when I was a kid.

Sorry to see you go, Mr. Whipple. RIP.

I’m glad they mentioned his military service. Many of the actors of his generation served before they became “famous.” (Eddie Albert and James Doohan come to mind).

Off topic, but my buddy the plumber calls Charmin “The Plumber’s Friend”....it’s absorbent and swells in the water; he gets a lot of unclogging calls.
