Toonfomercial: "Mean" Mr. Clean? (1965)

Procter & Gamble tried something daring with their ad campaign for Mr. Clean in 1965. They emphasized that "Mr. Clean hates dirt", so they billed him as "Mean Mr. Clean". You don't see the usual smiling mascot here. Instead, he has a scowl 'til the end, when he ends with a wink and a smirk.

Gerald Mohr is the announcer.
