papermate pen animated commercials featured the sports of golf and baseball, an avid and die hard participant in those sports and the two things that really gets him upset; the character's name in both versions was swift wilson; both versions opened with a voice over announcing "only two things make swift wilson mad: [missing putts (swears)] [striking out (swears)] and pens that don't write (swears); (in the golf versions swift wilson is trying to fill out a scorecard; in the baseball version he's trying to sign an autograph);" the voiceover then declares swift wilson's animus toward pens that don't write was cured by his acquisition of a papermate pen, but that missing putts OR striking out still makes him mad; the commercials both end with swift wilson missing a putt or striking out and then uttering the same erzatz cuss phrase: "dirty rotten ruckafrats"
I thought the cartoon golfer was named “Whip Willson”? I remember him flailing away at a golf ball in a deep hole in a sand trap “rotten muggafrump” in one commercial. The other mock expletive was “dirty wreckafretch”. but I don’t remember his golf dilemma for that one.
Thanks for your recollection George,
