It wasn't too long ago that we posted a Union 76 ad over at The Land of Whatever, starring Dick Yarmy, brother of Don Adams (ex-Get Smart, The Partners, Tennessee Tuxedo). At the time, we speculated as to whether or not the brothers actually did anything together.

A YouTube commenter, writing about one of Adams' Skittle game spots, thought Adams directed the commercials as well. It wouldn't be a surprise, since he made his directing debut on Get Smart.
