IHOP ad from 1969 will melt your brain

By at 4:22 am Friday, Mar 5

Oscar sez, "Pancakes never looked so weird. Is it the balloons without context? Is it the mood music from the Moog soundtrack? Is it the chipmunkesque singers or the voice-of-God-narration that makes this late sixties IHOP commercial look as if it was made from visitors from a distant land? Apparently the sixties were not only good for hippies and rockstars but also for ad creatives, too. Don't waffle on this one, pass the syrup, click and enjoy..."

Jesus Christ on a jetpack, what the hell is this?
