Laugh-In at Sears

If you enjoy creepy, poorly edited industrial films, and you enjoy Laugh-In, you need to watch this 1968 training video for Sears refrigerator salesmen (and make no mistake, they are aiming this at men).  I will not comment on Judy Carne's (RIP) appearance, but Arte Johnson is pretty good as a hammy straight man.  Still, much of the atmosphere is too funereal...and I'm not even counting the part that's literally funereal.

This reminds me a lot of Baltimore's late, lamented "Atomic TV."
