Retro Toy Chest: Remember Wrinkles, the talking dog? (1986)

Lakeside, by 1986, was a subsidiary to Coleco. The company introduced a talking dog puppet, Wrinkles, to audiences in time for the holiday rush that year. Unfortunately, Wrinkles didn't last beyond the end of the decade, if that.

In this spot, Wrinkles is interviewed by Rich Little, impersonating Johnny Carson. The ad is prefaced by the tail end of an ad for Drixoral, narrated by Burgess Meredith (ex-Batman, Korg: 70,000 B. C.).
