This IHOP commercial from 1969 is pretty weird, but is it really evidence of someone being "a little too Rooty Tooty on the Fresh and Fruity," as the YouTube description suggests? That sounds like something Potsie Weber would say. Regardless, we’re spooked by that helium-fed eunuch voice too, and even more so by the food shown in the ad. None of us could tell what any of it was, and being unable to recognize what you’re eating is more of a Waffle House thing.
