Brylcreem is a British brand of hair styling products for men. The first Brylcreem product was a hair cream created in 1928 by County Chemicals at the Chemico Works in Bradford Street, Birmingham, England, and is the flagship product of the brand. The cream is an emulsion of water and mineral oil stabilised with beeswax. It is notable for the high shine it provides, which spawned the name of the product, stemming from “brilliantine” and “cream”.
It was first advertised on television with the jingle “Brylcreem — A Little Dab’ll Do Ya! Brylcreem — You’ll look so debonair. Brylcreem — The gals’ll all pursue ya; they’ll love to run their fingers through your hair!”. Another version was “Brylcreem—a little dab will do ya! Use more only if you dare; but watch out! The gals will all pursue ya! They’ll love to run their fingers through your hair!”
The jingle was created by Hanley M. Norins of the Young & Rubicam advertising agency. The television advertisement for Brylcreem included a cartoon animation of a man with (initially) shaggy hair, who happily has a little dab applied, and, miraculously, the hair combs and smooths itself.
When the dry look became popular, partly inspired by the unoiled moptops of the Beatles, the last line was changed from “They’ll love to run their fingers through your hair”, to “They’ll love the natural look it gives your hair”. Subsequent television advertisements used the mottoes “Grooms without gumming” and later, in the 1970s, in the United Kingdom and Canada, “A little dab of Brylcreem on your hair gives you the Brylcreem bounce”.
The ad translates from German to ‘Life too short for the wrong job’. A job posting site.
Dr. Ho must spend millions of dollars on advertising. He is all over television constantly on a 24 hour basis. This happy go lucky doc peddles his anti-pain remedies day and night. They must work because the ads are unrelenting therefore meaning people are buying the “cures.”
Dr. Michael Ho is a caring Doctor of Chiropractic and Acupuncture with special interest in treating patients with painful conditions relating to their muscles, joints, and nerves. He is also an engineer enthusiast who pays close attention to exercise physiology, human body mechanics, and the ill effects that bad ergonomics have on muscle, nerve, and joint-related pain. Based on his education, clinical experiences in treating his patients over the years, and in learning what his patients’ needs are, he has developed a line of self-care products that are effective for relieving pain and in helping to restore one’s health.
Slightly different subject matter.
The founder of K-Tel died a few years ago in Winnipeg. Phil Kives started the company selling anything and everything. His big breakthrough was a non-stick frying pan. And this was just the beginning. In the 70’s and 80’s K-Tel sold everything from the pocket fisherman to the vegie-matic, the miracle brush to bionic glue. Any crazy and obscure product he could find out there, Phil would offer it to the world via TV advertising.
But K-Tel didn’t have all the crazy products. The list below has some products even more bizarre than K-Tel’s most outrageous contraptions.
The weight of one massive jug on top of the other has been plaguing big-breasted side sleepers for ages. Or so the makers of this item claim.
