  • [last lines] 

    Narrator : Well Joe, it looks like at last you've found success. We knew they couldn't keep a good man down. But tell us, how did ya do it? What're ya selling now?

    Joe McDoakes : [breaks the 'fourth wall' as he looks at the camera]  Don't go away... B.B., M.F.B. - B.B., M.F.B. - Bubble Bath Means Fine Bathtubs - yes, Bubble Bath Means *Fine* Bathtubs

    [steps up to a xylophone with four other singing advertisement men and it's then apparent that he has stooped to the so-called 'lowest form of salesmanship' by joining the melody-driven bubble bath soap company] 

    Joe McDoakes : Take a double bubble bath, it's a better bubble bath; / feels as fresh as a piece of apple pie. / Eliminate the aftermath with a double bubble bath. / If ya don't get kissed, you'll know the reason why. / bub-bub bub-bub bub, bub-bub bub-bub / bub-bub bub-bub bub, bub-bub bub-bub / bub bub bub bub bub bub bub / bub-bub bub bub bub bub bub bub bub
