Popeye Cans the Spinach (Commercial Corner)




Due to the Tom and Jerry hiatus, the monthly commercials are returning. This month we'll look at Popeye canning the spinach and advertising with other alternatives.

Campbell's Soup---
Popeye decides that soup is better than spinach. Also Popeye is voiced by Scott Innes in this commercial. I don't know who voices Olive Oyl.




Instant Quaker Oatmeal-- So now he's given up spinach for oatmeal. He is voiced by Jack Mercer in this commercial. Also, since when has Popeye had a parrot?



Start-- Popeye confesses here and chooses start over spinach. What happened to his voice!


Minute Maid--Popeye and Bluto are really creepy here. What the hell is this!

  1. Everyone's always been weirded out by the Minute Maid ad, but what I've always longed to know is why are there two Wimpy's.

  2. At least one of the Quaker commercials had Jeff Bergman do the voice of Popeye.

    And while Jack Mercer DID voice Popeye for one Start commercial, Allen Swift did Popeye in another. I believe that's Allen's Popeye in the ad you posted.
