BLIPVERTS - ROBERT CONRAD FOR EVEREADY BATTERIES


It's time to pay the bills......


From Wikipedia:
Robert Conrad was widely identified in the late 1970s for his television commercials for Eveready batteries, particularly his placing of the battery on his shoulder and prompting the viewer to challenge its long-lasting power: "Come on, I dare ya". The commercial was frequently parodied on Johnny Carson's 'The Tonight Show' and 'The Carol Burnett Show'.

The DVD set [for 'The Wild, Wild West'] also included one of Conrad's Eveready battery commercials; in his introduction, Conrad stated that he was flattered to be parodied by Carson.
