from what I understand, it was the cost of licencing Mack the Knife that killed this campaign

I remember kinda liking these ads as a kid.... but looking at them now, its kinda... creepy...




ETA- here's a link to a fairly good story about the rise and fall of Mac Tonight-

On certain sites/pages I frequent, Mac has become some sort of massive meme/trope with a cult following. It's really crazy.

You know, seeing these ads again, I can understand why some fear clowns ... I don't, myself, but I can see it ... *gets thoughtful* It's the makeup and the ever-grinning visage ... good post!

I was talking about this guy with a co-worker recently and she doesn't remember him. She's several years older than me, must've appealed to me more since I was a kid.

My oldest daughter was about 3 years old when these ads came out. She loved Mac Tonight! Thanks for posting this- was fun to see some of those commercials again.
