The Commercial Man first appears in the first episode, set during the 1950, in black and white. He stands in front of a toaster, where a burnt piece of bread comes out, and asks the audience if their husbands are tired of them, burning their toast. He then walks over to the new Toast Mate 2000, which he describes as the go-to for clever housewives. The Commercial Woman comments on the toasters shine, to which he agrees, and he narrates to the audience, how the toaster works, as the Commercial Woman demonstrates. He lists the various foods that can be used, and when finely toasted bread comes out, he gives the name of the product, and its manufacturer, Stark Industries. He then narrates the adverts slogan, "Forget the past, this is your future!"
In the second episode, which takes place in the 1960s era, and is also in black and white, the Commercial Man is wearing a tuxedo, and adjusting his bow tie in the mirror. His "lady" appears by his side, and the Commercial Man pulls his wrist to the front of the camera, so they can see his Strücker watch. The two then leave the room, arm in arm.
The third episode takes place in the 1970s, and now in color. The Commercial Man can be seen in a toga, fanning the Commercial Woman, while she's in a bubble bath, in an advert for Hydra Soap.
