Jun 29, 2008 - Aw, man, I'm dead with you on that one! I remember Gulf was one of the main sponsors of Disney. Gulf had some funny commercials back in the day,too! Remember the one where the Gulf attendant was wiping the windshield of a car, had it nice & clean, and a bird took a dump on it! I still remember the slogan Gulf used to have on Disney: "There's a lot more to Gulf's 'Extra Kick' than horseshoes!"

Jul 4, 2008 - Ya, it sounds kind of corny but I have really nice memories of my Mom making popcorn with my sister and brother then we would all sit down and watch Disney and "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" with Marlin Perkins...simple days that are long gone.

veritasvg Says:

Jul 4, 2008 - Yeah, that goes back to the mid seventies, I believe. America has changed. Boy, has it ever.

Nov 18, 2008 - Same here, although I remember this commercial more than any of the Disney shows!

Dec 6, 2008 - OMG! I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid. :D

Dec 18, 2008 - I have never forgotten this commercial, but could not remember who it was for. So cool that I got to see it again- I was very young when I first saw it and it really stuck in my mind.

Dec 26, 2008 - I remember this commercial. Today it amazes me how much work it must have taken to do it.

Apr 14, 2009 - Gulf Oil co-sponsored "WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR" in the mid-'60s; in fact, they offered two LP "premiums" of soundtracks (and "covers") from Disney movies in 1967 ["Walt Disney's Happiest Songs"] and '68 ['Walt Disney's Merriest Songs"] through Gulf dealers; I believe they were $1.49 for each. Gulf also sponsored NBC's special coverage of NASA space flights {Frank McGee: "We'll return after this word...from Gulf"}.

LastTree Says:

Jun 12, 2009 - yes it was on when Disney shows were...

boardskins Says:

Jul 16, 2009 - I was maybe six or seven when this commercial aired. We (my brother and sisters) cracked up the first time we saw it.

OldMrMemories Says:

Aug 14, 2009 - As a kid in my home in 1968 me and all my brothers would just bust out laughing when this came on. Usually this would show on Sunday nights. I was fascinated wondering how they did this. This really brought back memories of better times although our oldest brother was in Vietnam that year.

Nov 13, 2009 - This is one of the BEST commercials EVER! The sportscar dude never fails to get a laugh. This has stuck in my memory for years. THANKS for posting it!

scotpens Says:

Dec 8, 2009 - The stop-motion "people-mation" effect is funny, but the sales pitch is pure BS. Until the mid-1970s, all gasoline contained tetraethyl lead to prevent engine knock. Lead was phased out because it ruins catalytic converters (an anti-smog device). Using a higher octane gas than your car requires won't make it run faster or better. You'll just be wasting money.

Dec 16, 2009 - I too want to say thanks for this blast from the past. Ahhhh, childhood memories. Man where do you find stuff like this?

TheBoarbeast Says:

Jan 21, 2010 - I was 5 yrs old when this came out in `68 and remember it well, and believe it showed on Sunday evening during Disney. Walt had class unlike the things Disney "attempts to promote" now

Feb 15, 2010 - omg i think this is stop motion photography if so it musta havr taken forever

bluecatky Says:

Mar 6, 2010 - I bet that guy has a big hole in his pants from dragging it along the street like that!

nostalgiajunkie70 Says:

Mar 19, 2010 - Such a clever commerical. One of the best I have seen.

cmans79tr7 Says:

Mar 19, 2010 - In the mid-Sixties, back in the days when gas stations gave away premiums such as glasses or ice scrapers, Gulf gave away orange plastic double horseshoes which you could stick onto your car to show that you got that "extra kick" with Gulf No-Nox. I'll forever be thankful to my usually fastidious father for sacrificing his desire for a clean car, and humoring me by allowing me put those stupid plastic horseshoes on the rear bumper of his '58 Edsel.
