Charlie the Tuna is a beatnik tuna fish who wants to qualify for Star-Kist tuna, using his artistic talents in a futile attempt to impress the brand, unaware that they want "good-tasting tuna" not "tuna with good taste"

* Star-Kist Commercials (1961-1964)

* None of the Star-Kist commercials from 1961 through 1964 featuring Charlie were renewed, Charlie the Tuna remains a trademark of Star-Kist however, as does the Star-Kist brand name.
* The modern incarnation of Charlie, who is blue with a red hat, remains under copyright.
* The public domain Charlie commercials alternate between two designs: One that resembles the current design, and another with a back fin; black circular sunglasses; and a more fat body.
