Mortein: "Louie The Fly" Campaign

[mangodebango.livejournal.com]

One of the longest running and most popular ad campaigns in Australia.

Originally created in 1957 for Mortein fly spray, this 1962 version which started the jingle has continued through the years.

Louie the Fly - Mortein Fly spray (1962 version)

Louie the Fly - Mortein Fly spray (1980's version)

There's also a more recent 1990's version among others.

Tried to add a tag for "pesticides" or "insecticides" but didn't see one.


Also - should I have put a cut between the two vids or before both vids?
Still new here and learning the rules.

Aw, poor Louie! I also felt sorry for the bugs in the RAID commercials for I am a weirdo.

there was also the recent fake controversy where it they claimed they were going to retire Louie. Of course, it was just a publicity campaign, as usual.
