A 1969 advert for IHOP that's....something.
IHOP commercial - 1969
Featuring Alvin on vocals.
Synopsis[]
A family is shown holding balloons and running in slow motion. It's shown that they're running over to an IHOP. There, they're served food and eat up. After they run back, again in slow motion.
Twice in the advert, this song, sung in a high pitched voice, plays:
International House of Pancakes, doo-doo-doo....
International House of Pancakes
Just for the fun of it.
Why It's Cursed[]
This is easily one of the most strangest and surreal adverts ever conceived. While the advert attempted to be friendly and cheerful, the strange music, chipmunk singing, and odd visuals instead creates a disjointed and unnerving atmosphere.
