Video of the Week: LG Jetsons Commercial

 As I've mentioned a few times this month, probably the most amount of exposure the Jetsons have seen over the last twenty or so years has been through advertising. They've been featured in ads for Electrosol, Metlife, and the list goes on. But one I only found out about recently is this 2017 commercial for LG's SmartThinQ, and it's got to be one of the more unique ads the family has appeared in. In this two-minute short, we get to see a look at what the future has in store for the Jetsons, showcasing older versions of each member of the family. Check it out below!


I'd also like to share some info on the voices featured in this commercial, or at least what I was able to gather. Andi Gibson (who also uploaded this ad to Youtube) voices Jane here, and as far as I know, it's the only time she's voiced the character. According to Behind the Voice Actors, voice veteran Wally Wingert portrays both George and Astro, having previously played them in Harvey Birdman. However, it doesn't seem the website has any idea who voiced any of the other characters that appear. If any of you have a clue as to who they are, I'd love to hear from you! That's all for today, but get ready for tomorrow, as I cap off Jetsons June with a big deep dive into the unmade live-action Jetsons flick!
