I’ve written about this 1960s commercial for Sixfinger before, but it’s been at least a few years since I last watched it, and it still never fails to amuse me, especially because I had one when I was a kid. From the snappy proto-rap soundtrack, to the hyper-excited boys, to the not-at-all-phallic appearance of the toy, this commercial is a winner on several fronts.
“Sixfinger, Sixfinger, Man Alive! How Did I Ever Get along with Five?”
