G.I. Joe — Space Oddity

I love the visual and audio reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey in this early 1970s commercial for the new G.I. Joe Talking Astronaut. I’m not sure how many kids watching Saturday morning TV picked up on them, though their parents (who held the purse strings) probably did. Also gotta love the constant reference to "lifelike hair!"
