"Look! It's the Gum Fighter!" (Bubble Gum Weekend)

Look, everyone!

It's the Gum Fighter again!

What's he got?

Bubbling disease, apparently.

It's a disease that makes people bubble uncontrollably - as he does again in this '80s commersh for raspberry Hubba Bubba:

According to legendary Gum Fighter actor Don Collier, the Hubba Bubba ads were filmed in Australia, even though they were set in the Wild West.

In this commersh, the Gum Fighter rode into town with his new product, bubbled with it, and rode away just as quickly. The entire process took a mere 30 seconds. It was a surgical strike!

Also, all of Hubba Bubba's ads acted as if every TV viewer's life revolved around bubbling. In the Hubba Bubba world, everyone schedules their day around chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles and worries constantly about whether the gum will stick to their face.

Kind of like how in the Gum Fighter's fictitious Wild West town, everyone's life revolves around waiting for the ol' Fighter to show up again.
