NYNEX: DRYCLEANERS/BARBARIANS {THE ONE SHOW,
1995: WINNERS AND FINALISTS, TAPE 1 OF 2}

Summary

In this commercial for NYNEX, a barbarian chieftain, played by a rather foppish character actor, is shown leading an assault against a heavily fortified castle. Unfortunately, he brushes up against some wet paint on the castle's battlements and throws a temper tantrum. "Excuse me. Is it asking too much to put up a wet paint sign?" he asks. "I'm supposed to be storming a village in Gaul tomorrow and I have absolutely nothing to wear." He gets so upset he decides to retire from the field of battle. Suddenly the camera zooms in on a listing for "Dry Cleaners" in the NYNEX Yellow Pages. Slogan (supered): "NYNEX Yellow Pages. More information. More solutions. More stuff."
