By 1970, this jolly, little bandit had kicked up quite a fuss in the Latino community, similar to the protests about sterotypes generated by Taco Bell's talking-dog campaign. The Frito Bandito spoke broken English and made his living robbing people for their corn chips. The Wanted Poster premium describes him as cunning, clever and sneaky. Backhanded compliments? Maybe, but the Frito Bandito campaign was discontinued and replaced by the Muncha Bunch.

Yeah, you'd think so. Pretty much all the networks were in color by the 1966-1967 season. Maybe the commercial was in color but the clip is in black and white somehow.
