Rare Joey Bishop Hai Karate Cologne Commercial

by Lara on October 21st, 2007

I just love how back in the day, during live television, the stars of the show did the commercials. It made for kind of “uninterrupted television” and always was sort of unpredictable for the viewer. This clip’s a commercial that Joey Bishop and Regis Philbin did for Hai Karate Cologne. (Yes, many jokes have been made about that stuff over the years, but this is a great clip!)

I love how the woman at the end, with her big ol’ teeth, says, “Delicious.” She looks like she’s about to attack Joey, and he gives her the “Hai!” karate chop!

This post is a tribute (one of many I’m posting this week) to Joey Bishop, the final member of the legendary Rat Pack to pass away. They’re all up there now, with Marilyn too, and having one helluva swank party!
