Old Maytag Man Commercial
Love these old Maytag commercials! This was the beginning of the ‘lonely Maytag Repairman’ … one of the best, and apparently most believed bit of advertising in the appliance industry. Every day customers (with broken Maytags), make comments about how they thought that Maytags never broke down. My standard reply is, ‘you don’t believe all advertising do you?’ (delivered with a little smile while looking over the top of my glasses. lol)
The washer and dryer shown in this commercial were pretty good units – really well built with oversized everything. However, they did break down as any old repairman could tell you. It’s fun to look back at these old commercials and see how far we’ve come. Enjoy!
The funny thing about this one is the dog … named Newton. Newton, Iowa is where the 1st Maytag production plant was. Great dog name too!
I had to add a couple more. These are so fun!
