Timex Commercial

I just learned that it wasn't extemporaneous:

Timex decided to end the torture tests [advertising] campaign in 1977 with a staged failure: an elephant stomped and crushed a watch. "It worked," Swayze quipped to the television audience, "in rehearsal."

I guess I was a gullible kid!
