I don't know if there are TV ads for this yet, but on my Kindle I'm getting an ad: ALL TIKI. NO LEAKY. SAY ALOHA TO HUGGIES LITTLE MOVERS HAWAIIAN DIAPERS. (The smart logarithms at Amazon have picked up that I'm into tiki, but they're way off if they think I'll order diapers!)

Sorry I've been following a different Tiki TV thread and I missed this post from BB. Wish the moderators could just combine the three Tiki TV posts into one like they do in the football forums I also follow.
Anyway back to the Huggies Hawaiian Diaper ads, I help shoot the commercial and it was huge, big director, real props, Polynesian dance and everyone on camera were real Polynesian. Being Hawaiian myself and a tikiphile myself I was proud of the whole project but maybe we did too good of a job, maybe combining real culture and modern diapers was deemed not PC. Perhaps if it was more tongue & cheek good fun it would of been more acceptable. Whatever the case what would of been probably the greatest Tiki themed Ad campaign is now semi hidden on the web. Here's a couple of photos to show what I mean:

Here is a re-post of some of those pictures
for future posterity, The new season of "Madmen" should pickup in late 1967
or early 1968, The same year Hawaii 5-0 premiered.

Maybe Grog can answer this question: Why of why, with all the talented, Tiki-loving and thus Tiki-savvy cartoon artists out there does a big network TV show rely on these dime-a-dozen, Party City, bain-of-the-Tiki-revival Tikis that are just swiped of the first results when googling "Tiki" on the Internet? (I think I know the answer...)

I believe it is because a lot of the background and other rendering work is farmed out to Asia, where the artists have no clue about Tiki style. Kinda like the Poly-Asian carvings that began flooding the market couple of years ago.

Yes, Animation on American Dad & Family Guy is farmed out to South Korean animators
we got lucky with the Tiki inspired episode of South Park a while back as
all the animation & artwork is done in-house here in the U.S.
