"Sock It To Me" Lunchbox, 1968
Add to SetSummary
Generations of children have proudly sported pictorial lunchboxes of their favorite television shows since they were first introduced in 1950. The title, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, a sketch comedy show airing 1968-1973, was a play on the 1960s "love-in" counterculture. Actress-comedienne Judy Carne was often tricked into saying, "sock it to me!" then doused or otherwise "assaulted."
