Comparing Pizza Roll Commercials

Here are 2 commercials for Pizza Rolls.

The 1960's Jeno's Pizza Roll Commerical:
- References to the Lone Ranger
- Feels like a freeky Dream
- Makes you want to carry them in your pockets





The 1990's McCain's Pizza Pocket Commercial:
- Incredibly bad
- Failed attempt to capture the mid-90's super-sarcasm
- Who feels like punching these guys??




Daily Hapiness Index: 6/10 (got the Go-Kart to work, but it's way too LOUD to actually use)

"Hi ho pizza roll, away?" Apparently advertising was an OK field to take LSD on the job back in the 60's. The lone ranger at a cocktail party? Everyone has pizza roll boxes behind their backs to flash at the camera? Weird...

Imagine a chunck of pizza...

- Folded back on itself: Pizza Pocket
- Roller-up and fried: Pizza Roll

Imagine all the other ways you could transform pizza... Pizza Hut already thought about it!
