INSTANT BUTTER-NUT COFFEE: SUBLIMINAL {AN ADVERTISING ALBUM: 1950-1990}
Summary
This animated commercial for Instant Butter-Nut coffee parodies "subliminal advertising." A stand-up comedian explains that in this ad, no mention will be made of the product. Instead, he asks viewers to sit back and enjoy one of his amusing stories. Meanwhile, fireworks explode above his head, proclaiming that "Butter-Nut Coffee tastes good." At the same time, brass band music plays on the soundtrack, momentarily drowning out the sound of the comedian's voice. When he finally delivers the punch line of his "amusing story," it doesn't make any sense.
