That's pretty interesting. The daughter is pretty funny. I think it's an advertisement for General Electric, although they don't mention it in this clip.

I think you're right—there's another similar video of the Reagans demonstrating their GE lighting setup.

Here's an animated version with quintessential early '60's soundtrack. The more closely you look at this, the more surreal it becomes.

It's funny how cartoons enjoying the products they sold were actually supposed to prove that their products were great.

Yeah, it's not like the characters are going to hate them.
