I have to ask the question: Are KY Jelly commercials absolutely necessary?
I can't imagine that my first, first grade teacher, Miss. Cook (God rest her soul), would have approved of the KY Jelly commercial. I can't help but think if the makers of KY Jelly would have gone to Miss Cook back in 1965 and said, "Miss Cook, we'd like to ask your opinion on something: Do you think it would be A) a good idea B) a decent idea or C) a bad idea, to advertise KY Jelly on television?"
Miss Cook's first response might have been, "I'm sorry, I don't believe I'm familiar with KY Jelly." Once they told her what it was, however, I think she would have been aghast. Aghast not because the product existed, but aghast that the makers of KY were actually thinking of advertising their product on television and that she would now, more than likely, have to deal with her cute and impressionable little first grade students coming to school and asking, "Golly Gee Willikers Miss Cook, what's KY Jelly?".
I'd bet hard money, she would have gone with "C".
"Well, Little Johnny, Mr. Cook likes when Mrs. Cook puts the jelly on his 'toast' in the morning..."
