And to think that just last week I queued up a Mr. Magoo
to send to my friends to explain why salesmen don't like me:

Mr. Magoo could do anything with that beer on TV.
Except drink it.

Posted by: wallyj at June 1, 2008 2:12 AMI am waiting for Mr. Magoo in a "Viagra Intermisssion" commercial.
Posted by: Joe Molnar at June 1, 2008 7:37 AMAnyone know where and when Stag beer was brewed and sold? I've never heard of it, but it must have been somewhat successful to get a celebrity endorsement that big.
Posted by: MikeM at June 1, 2008 12:57 PMThe Tuborg beer commercial (to the left of Magoo's "Stag beer" promo) is better, I think.

Posted by: ClarkKent at June 1, 2008 3:08 PMIt just hit me. Mr. Magoo looks like a decrepit , dissipated ,dipsomaniac, Jean Chrétien.
Posted by: Revnant Dream at June 1, 2008 5:32 PMMr. Magoo for president!
I remember this one -- thanks Kate.
Jim Baccus was a comedic treasure.
Ahhh for the age when you could sell beer with a cartoon character.

Posted by: Spurwing Plover at June 2, 2008 1:24 AMwlmr: Jim Backus suffered agoraphobia later in life but overcame it.
I remember a line he did in a TV series about being a pilot in the Pacific and getting shot down, then selling japanese motorcycles for a living and comparing the quality of the zeroes and the quality of the suzukis.
but it was just a line in a TV series.
I loved the antics of mr magoo but didn't have cable so I missed most of them.
apparently he was in charge of quality control for the hubble telescope . . .
MR MAGOOS CHRISTMAS CAROL
