Toonfomercial: Rocky & Bullwinkle shill for Taco Bell (1993)

For a period of about a year (1992-3), Rocky & Bullwinkle were licensed for use in commercials for Taco Bell. In each case, the iconic duo thwarted hamburger hustlers Boris Badenov & Natasha Fatale.

Seeing as how Bill Scott & Paul Frees (Bullwinkle & Boris, respectively) passed away in the 80's, I don't know who's filling in for them here, working with June Foray.



Hamburgers being boring? Seeing as how I enjoy both hamburgers & tacos, I disagree.

Could be Keith Scott (no relation to Bill Scott). He's has done the voices of Bullwinkle, Boris and Even Dudley Do-Right for a number of ads and other appearances.

He also wrote a book on Jay Ward Productions as well

Yes, I've read about that. However, the research I did couldn't confirm that Keith worked on this ad.

Frank Welker did the voice of Bullwinkle here. As for Boris, Keith Scott voiced him in one ad and Joe Alaskey voiced him in the others. Not sure which one Keith did.
