Lever Brothers {Pepsodent, Lifebuoy, etc.} co-sponsored "GET SMART" during its first three seasons with R.J. Reynolds {Salem} [1965-'68]- as was the custom, "Max" and some of the cast appeared in an "integrated comedy commercial" for their sponsors at the end of the episode. Here, it's a 1967 spot for "new" Pepsodent- these "plugs" usually took place in a supermarket. Dick Tufeld is the announcer; a tube of Pepsodent would appear in the lower left-hand corner of the closing credits as well...
You're talking about Skittle Pool, from arund the early 70's. They made a couple of commercials with Don Adam's for that game. I used to have one of those, and I wish I still did (my mother threw it out around 1980 after I moved away). It would probably be a collector's item now!
We've come full circle since those days. It's only been in the past few years that there's been a revival of the trend of running commercials featuring TV stars during their own shows (not network promos, paid ads). 30 Rock does it all the time.
I will grant you that I cannot think of anyone who could have done a better job than Carell with the Maxwell Smart character, for that matter I can't think of anyone who could have been worse either. But who am I to say, since the movie was #1 box office over the weekend. Ms. Hathaway sure is lovely to look at though.
What i'd love to see again is that old commercial for that Skittles game (its like duck-pin bowling, but with a tether ball) that Don used to do as Max
i was just watching don addams in the the bio special and seen this commercial preview--watch out if its owned by viacom/nbc--i am only joking,but they're not--theirs only one maxwell smart-he made that show--feldon wasnt even invited to do a cameo--but that pimp,bad actor with the eyebrow ,rock was there--i cant remember his agents number on the series--thanks for posting-
carlynutt--how right you are--we should congrat. hollywood again-for trying to destroy the legend of get smart tv series--stand by for the release of the day the earth stood still 2008-this will be the ultimate no! movie--
Agreed, remaking Get Smart, and "TDTESS" or the "new" Star Trek next year with someone else playing Captain Kirk, is like the criminals who have gone in the Louvre, and painted a mustache on the Mona Lisa!!!
No...sorry about that...but the problem is in the script and Carrel, the script is a retread of every plot device from the series and instead of a tribute to Don Adams Carrel who looks like him refused to do Don Adams characteristic voice inflections and mannerisms to a sufficient degree to make it funny and nostalgically a reminder of the greatness that once was in the hands of pros like Don Adams, Barbara Feldon and Ed Platt, not to mention the lack of Mel Brooks and Buck Henrys clever writing
I disagree. Carell is overrated. The only thing he's been the least bit tolerable in was Little Miss Sunshine and that is only because of the stellar ensemble cast he had surrounding him.
You are not forgotten. You were always loved, Don Adams. 😢

That kid’s name is Scott Garrett. When this commercial was made, he was in my class at Langdon elementary school in Los Angeles. He was a nice kid
Cool commercial, in the age when chemicals were our friends! Thanks for the post!
Hilarious! Didn't know they did promo's, thanks for posting!! :)
agent 13 is always hiding in impossible places! LOL
You're absolutly right! There's nothing like the original classics, you can improve technology all you want but leave our classic tv for us to watch!!
I still use Pepsodent. And Beemans was my favorite gum.

Gotta love the old way! I hate when they smash end titles to the side. Lets bring back the full screen titles for every show!

Exactly!
Well..Aside from the ones we thought were are friends like lead,mercury,asbestos,chloroform,ect.
86 and 13 is talking with little boy in 1967
What i'd love to see again is that old commercial for that Skittles game (its like duck-pin bowling, but with a tether ball) that Don used to do as Max
Skittle Pool. There were also a few other games, such as Skittle Bowl, etc. They were made by Aurora.
Poor agent 13

Since Argentina.
Agent 13, password "THE WEATHER IS GOOD ON DERIBASIVSKA", Agent 86, "WEATHER IS GOOD ON ZERABASTA".
⚫ Zirconium Silicate. That's definitely a mouthful ❗ However, back in those days, Zirconium Silicate was more than a mouthful ❕
Yeah and who knows what sort of “conditions” that garbage causes and how much $ has been made on “treating” them .
Interesting. A laugh track added to a commercial.
Sounds like Dick Tufeld ( Lost in Space robot) as the announcer.
What ever happened to Irium? In those days, even the commercials had a laugh track.
Don Adams was so great. How could anyone have cast that horrible Steve Carell in the new movie????
Did you see it yet? I happened to like it, but that's me.
Obviously they would connect Pepsodent with Get Smart considering that "99" was mostly I would see on Pepsodent Commercials.
carlynutt--how right you are--we should congrat. hollywood again-for trying to destroy the legend of get smart tv series--stand by for the release of the day the earth stood still 2008-this will be the ultimate no! movie--
I believe Church & Dwight now make Pepsodent. Ironically, Barbara Feldon did an ad for Pepsodent years later.
YES.
Yes I did. I thought it stunk. I thought the script was bad and the casting was worse. Well, at least they didn't cast Leslie Nielsen as Max.
"This commercial was filmed in front of a live studio audience".
Agent 13 !!!! Thanks for post Really !! Who was that guy trivia thing going on ! Agent 13 !!!:) Are there more of him and Don ???

Does anyone know the advertising agency of this campaign? Was it FCB?

@jellybeansamify It's not 99?
Well I don't watch the show as much as I want to, so I'm a little undereducated. Everybody is entitled to their opinion I guess.
Well! I never!
yea its not 99, its 89
I am the smartest kid in the U.S.A.
lol trolol
Jiltedin2007 its 89
Pretty ladies with nice legs 0:06 !

Television was 250% better back then then the trash and I do mean TRASH they have on tv nowadays. Human Waste .
