Oh, boy! It's six minutes of the Quisp and Quake cereal commercials produced by Jay Ward and (probably, mostly) written by Bill Scott. The voice of Quake is done by William Conrad, who was the narrator on the Rocky & Bullwinkle cartoons but who's better known for his TV roles starring in Cannon, Jake and the Fatman and Nero Wolfe, among others. The voice of Quisp was done by Daws Butler, who was also Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear, Snaggle…oh, just go read my articles about Daws if you haven't already. And the other voices in these spots (and everything else Ward's studio produced) were supplied by Paul Frees, June Foray and Bill Scott.
It's a shame you couldn't do an ad campaign like this today. First off, thirty second spots are the norm and with a cereal, that's barely enough time to mention the product and do the disclaimer about it being a part of a good breakfast. And of course, there's no more Jay Ward operation and not many people who can be that funny. Nor are there many sponsors that would let someone entertain like that instead of laying on a hard sell.
Anyway, enjoy some commercials that were often better than the shows in which they appeared.
