THE CLASSIC BUZBY POSTER

 

Who was Buzby?

Buzby, the multi-coloured bird, was the hero of a long running British Post Office Telephones publicity drive during the late 1970's to early 1980's. He appeared in a series of television commercials where his punch line was "Make Someone Happy"
The television commercials featured the British character actor Bernard Cribbens as Buzby's voice.
There was an extensive poster and billboard promotion of which the above are just a small part. 
 The campaign attracted a great deal of publicity at the time, with the public either loving Buzby (The majority) or loathing him (The minority).
