It's playtime!

To me, the best thing about this great television ad for Six Flags is that the elderly man dancing is a harbinger of fun, instead of being the butt of a joke. The old fellow's a reminder to a father and daughter not to take life so seriously, as he leads them by the hand to a day of family fun. Which is exactly how I remember trips with my grandparents to Geauga Lake, a small, independent theme park in Ohio that was briefly owned by Six Flags.

Six Flags rules! The old man commercial is the best! I dance to the commercial every time it comes on.

Yes, but what agency produced the ad for them?

Gary who gives a fuck about what agency he works for, you lame ass!

Easy, easy. According to this Google Answers thread, Six Flags' ad agency is Doner. Furthermore, the thread points to speculation that the dancer is actually Jaleel White, who played Steve Urkel in Family Matters. I've so far been unable to draw a connection between Six Flags and Pilsner Urquell, despite my best efforts.
