Head Mouseketeer Jimmie Dodd promotes the Mousegetar (as seen on the show) and a cheaper jack-in-the-box style crank-toy, the Mousegetar Jr., in this 1955 commercial. Can't say for certain, but this probably debuted during episode #30 of "the Mickey Mouse Club" (November 11, 1955) after Dodd was presented with his Mousegetar by the Mouseketeers. The Mousegetar retailed for $4 and the Mousegetar Jr. for $1.80, but today they sell in the triple-digits.

In 1945, Jack Benny starred in his last major motion picture, "The Horn Blows at Midnight," as a band member who dreams he's an angel sent to destroy the Earth. The film did respectable business but wasn't an overwhelming success (doubtlessly due to the timing, coming at the end of WW2) and Benny soon began joking about what a dismal failure the film was... which quickly became a running gag on his TV and radio shows, leading people to believe the movie actually was an epic bomb.
