This 1960s TV commercial for Kool Aid features Bugs Bunny and the pop rock group the Monkees.

During the 1960s, The Monkees filmed several commercials. At one point, Kellogg’s sponsored The Monkees television show and Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork starred in a series of Rice Krispies commercials.

When The Monkees debuted in reruns on CBS in the fall of 1969, Kool-Aid acted as a sponsor. Peter was no longer a member of the group, so Micky, Davy, and Michael filmed a variety of clips for Kool-Aid in the desert outside of Palm Springs, California and, in early 1970, at an amusement park in San Diego, California.
