- The penguin suit looked more realistic than the hairpiece Shatner was wearing

have you ever checked out Bob Loblaws Law Blog ?

And..YET! there's SOMETHING...about his delivery THAT'S ... charming😬

To be sure, he did do ads that aired in the US, the most memorable for me is Promise margarine. But these had a bit higher production values, while the Loblaws reminds me more of the ads we see for local businesses 😀

I think the penguin is cute.

awww...not again

love it

It's impossible to not love Shatner!

What a cornball legend!!

From the long sideburns, wide necktie, and Shatner's general appearance, I'm guessing 1975.

Yah, see my reply above that mentions Promise. But while on the subject, note at 0:21 that as her turns toward the big chart his voice is dubbed in, probably had a microphone problem in the shoot.

It also makes me laugh because he says the subjects ate less fats, lean meats, egg & cheese substitutes, and highly polyunsaturated foods including Promise margarine. Dang, they could have eaten butter and gotten those results with those major those diet changes.

I do remember that the Promise thing was a campaign and he did several commercials.

Years after he did that campaign...https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1996/11/08/margarine-maker-to-drop-ads-making-health-claims/4ec62a79-42a0-457d-8abd-d5a87dac0dcd/

It is well known (via interviews with him) that for a period of time after TOS was cancelled he lived out of a truck, basically homeless. No joke.
