"Let's give it to Mikey, he won't eat it, he hates everything!" "Hey Mikey!"
Not sure if that was just a NY thing but anyone growing up in that era and area was certainly familiar. Became a rather sordid story if I recall
Not a commercial, but who remembers when TV wasn't a 24/7 affair? The national anthem followed by an off air message. Hard to imagine these days.
I understand Tom McAndrew is partering with Fairgambit Enterprises and will be offering rectal dialtors to his disgruntled fan-members for the upcomming football season.

Dr. Young's Ideal Rectal Dilators Were a Real Thing!
January 12, 2019 1800s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, event & history, inventions, medical, WTF
Dr. Young’s Dilators were a real medical device sold in the United States from the late nineteenth century until at least the 1940s. They were a set of four “torpedolike” hard-rubber (later, plastic) instruments varying in diameter from 1⁄2 to 1 inch and in length from 3 to 4 inches.
Dr. Young himself praised rectal dilation as a cure for insanity, claiming that at least “three-fourths of all the howling maniacs of the world” were curable “in a few weeks’ time by the application of orificial methods”. Young also admitted that some patients panicked at the sight of the devices.
The product claimed it corrected constipation, promoted more refreshing sleep, and could relieve foul breath, bad taste in the mouth, sallow skin, acne, anemia, lassitude, mental hebetude, insomnia, anorexia, headaches, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, flatulence, indigestion, nervousness, irritability, cold extremities, and numerous other ailments. The instructions warned, “Do not neglect to use your Dilators ... It is advisable to use [them] occasionally as a precautionary measure. You need have no fear of using them too much”.
A 1905 advertisement by F. E. Young and Co. of Chicago promised that “The best results may be obtained by the use of Young’s self-retaining rectal dilators”, the use of which “accomplishes for the invalid just what nature does daily for the healthy individual”. Doctors were advised that “If you will prescribe a set of these dilators in some of your obstinate cases of Chronic Constipation you will find them necessary in every case of this kind”. The price of a set “to the profession” was $2.50 (equivalent to $70 in 2018).
