The Orbit Gum Cootie Queen returns in a Bing ad
Everyone’s favorite Cootie Queen, the actress whose name I believe is Jessie Meriwether, was memorable in her very important role as the mistress in the Orbit Gum ad, as well as her catch phrase, “you lint licker!” I’ve pasted the commercial below in case your memory is as as gin-soaked as mine.
Now this sassy Southern belle has returned in a role as a woman stuck in traffic in the latest commercial for the annoying search engine Bing. I’m not sure why I felt the need to point this out, but it’s always weird when commercial people are in other commercials. It’s like if Flo from Progressive was in another commercial. I’d feel betrayed.
Jessie Meriwether looks like that actress who played Olive Oyle and the wife of the mad writer of some forgettable horror flick with the guy who played the devil and other notable dark-themed neurotic characters, Jack Nicholson.
Oh yeah! You’re referring to Shelley Duvall I think. Good call!
