"Do you think Aunt Jemimah/Uncle Ben"


  

          

Cussed out the HR Lady/flipped over a table when they found out they were being fired?

I bet they did.

Anyhow let's discuss this and other unanswered questions about Black Commercials.

On that note, was it ever established if they were supposed to be Married/Brother & Sister or somehow completely unrelated?

it becomes/the more questions I have

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8ffzI2czHs&feature=share

First of all it's already kinda WTF that "Frederick Douglass" is in a commercial trying to sell a product.

Can you just put Dead people in your commercial like that!??! Did his family sign off on that/get a check?


Also, the fact that this guy's hair was apparently so jacked up that a Black Historical figure felt compelled to come back from the Grave just to roast him into using some Afro Sheen is kind of hilarious.

to shit talk me.

Was that a trend in commercials back in the 70's?

1. the accents on the actors...what is that? I feel like black men of a certain age all sound like Gil Scott Heron including my pops, Ben Carson, Don Cornelius - but it's also a mixture of proper and region-less media accents

2. That young man, you don't see people like that on television these days, I mean his features and tone. The closest person is Chidi/William Jackson Harper

3. the next video that played was another afro sheen commercial and the actress looks like Issa Raye https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQq-UIkfuqA

I'm sure they spent a bunch of money on market research and all that. But this is the brand name the come with? It just sounds Soo soulless and corporatized

We hear you and totally understand what you’re going through. With that, we’re going to change the brand name of this pancake mix and syrup.
