A Retro Mr. Bubble Commercial

Here is a classic Mr. Bubble commercial

[@martone1955]

I laughed for 5 minutes after I watched it. To this day I still use the "madam how do you do" line when checking in with the wife. Haven't seen it in over 40 years. Thanks for the post.

[@romanstar7550]

classic ,im going to have to copythat greeting .thanx

[@Jean-qf4ug]

It’s my all time favorite! 😂

[@carolynedigel4702]

I still say, “it’s a man!”

[@RUDYNATACHA]

"There's a MAN in the BATHTUB!" I remember this from when I was a kid.

[@ZainaDancer]

It's so nice to see so many people have the same memory and experience with this little commercial. I remember this from when I was a little kid also, and when I was a little older and used to call home to check in with my Mum, I always used to say when she picked up the phone, "Madam howw doo you dooo?"! 💜😃🛀

[@user-rn7lu5qh9p]

What says make hole

[@aviajarehema7393]

💯💯😅🤣😂👏👏

[@russc98]

I love this commercial. An old favorite from my kidhood.

[@FlingsPooAtTheZoo]

OMG! I haven't seen this since the 60's! "There's a man in the bathtub!" LOL!

[@bluebeetle585]

I was watching this and reciting the whole dialogue along with the commercial, and I haven't seen it since the 60s! It must have been on a LOT!!

[@aviajarehema7393]

YES! 😅🤣😂💯💯

[@Johndale0]

My sister and I adored this commercial. Cracked us up always. "Madam, Hooow do you do?" Killed us every time.

[@user-cv8zc9fs6v]

Milli as madam

[@stormgirl09]

this is gonna sound odd but im only 27 yet there is something comforting and nostalgic about these old commercials.... Its so weird how the heck would one feel nostalgic about a time when they didn't even exist?? lol

[@chocolatethedog5085]

Same I feel the same way

[@timearly5226]

Maybe because you're remembering a time when life was simpler and kinder? 🤗

[@romanstar7550]

im the same way with big band era music from the 30s and 40s . artie shaw , benny goodman , tommy dorsey . could listen to them forever

[@Mandalore06]

Yeah, I get it. I'm 34, but my family has always watched really old TV and movies. Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, The Odd Couple, John Wayne, that sort of thing. I find the old stuff comforting because my parents grew up with it and loved it, and in turn I grew up with it and love it. It's good, wholesome entertainment.

[@johnverley]

@@Mandalore06 not like the crap today thank god i can go back and watch all my favorite shows from the 60s 70s 80s 90s on DVD.

[@pman0856]

I love this commercial. I remember it when it originally aired back in the 60's, when I was a kid, and it still cracks me up! Thanks for posting it!

[@gerrydooley951]

Me to. Loved it

[@luckyrabbit7]

I feel so young

[@HALee-]

That commercial should have won an award. It was so funny!

[@southparkhaters95]

If you were born in the 60s what age are you now?

[@jackster10101]

My god it’s a boomer get together

[@elc1960]

The classic Mr. Bubble ad with Hubert and his poor old nearsighted Grandma. Everybody say it with me now: "Madam, howww do you do?" "(gasp) A MAN!!"

[@baldy5184]

Best Commercial ever. Used to howl everytime it was on. Still quote it!

[@lindakae1635]

We bought lots of this because the commercial is so fantastic! Modern day commercials are so confusing you have to see several times to figure out what they're selling.

[@Mandalore06]

Yeah that's because they aren't worried so much about advertising the products as they are making some kind of social statement. I miss when commercials were catchy and made you want o buy a product.

[@frogwashwright9796]

Still drive my wife nuts, with reciting this commercial. Thanks

[@MrMstrika]

I AM 63 AND LOVED THIS COMMERCIAL, SO GLAD TO HAVE IT BACK

[@standingbeark]

i use to love that commercial as a kid. "madam how do you do", use to kill me...

[@BettinaBalser]

I'm a connosisseur of bubble baths and Mr. Bubble remains my all-time favorite. Gets you clean, smells divine, and bubbles that last and last and last.

[@doloreshuntoon7698]

I really & truly love that TV commercial!!!

[@robinleighmarshall]

i am also 54, and this commercial was one of my favorites! i used mr. bubble a lot when i was a kid, largely because i thought this was such a great commercial. (and i hate most commercials.)

[@fromthesidelines]

Yes, John Hubley (who also created the "Marky Maypo" ads in the mid-'50s) animated this one. He also helped created "Mr. Magoo" for UPA- which explains why "Grandma" is also nearsighted as well....I believe GeGe Pearson is Granny's voice...

[@Jean-qf4ug]

It’s a fabulous commercial. Thanks for your background on it!!

[@fromthesidelines]

You're VERY welcome! :)

[@winstonoboogie6725]

John Hubley also co-produced Moonbird, 1956

[@stinkyandcleo]

It was jammed into your brain every Saturday morning from 700 am to noon. Gramma, it's (NOT) only me.

[@GreatGraniteState]

Everyone is talking about childhood experiences and I'm just here bc my grandma showed me this and I liked and and wanted to see it again like 3 years later. I'm 14 lol.

[@Ghost-uf4ds]

I mentioned this commercial in the comments with the group Calvin and Hobbes Ride Again on Facebook. It was a favorite when I saw it in the 60s. Grandma is so cute. And he really is a "little scamp." I still chuckle when I see it.

[@krisbaron8907]

Omg! Blast from the past! I remember this! Madame how do you do? 🤣

[@HeadleyWheel]

Popped into my head the other day and just started chuckling. I KNEW it word-for-word before clicking on it. As a kid, I found it so funny that I learned to do it "in voice" to amuse my friends. The ONLY thing I "phased on" was the black-and-white cartoon commercial thingy!!! Didn't have a color TV in the house until MANY years later, so no harm, no foul!

[@rclaughlin]

The original cartoon was in color. But this print is black-and-white.

[@timearly5226]

I'm 63 and said "Hello madam, how do you do?" when I called my sister today. She then found and sent me the commercial. t's been so long! 😁

[@melodysmanymisc]

I cant get enough of this.

[@soylentteal]

My sister, brother and I laughed at (and about) that ad for years when we saw it in the 60s.

[@KamakaziFlyboy]

One of my favorite commercials !!!!

[@lololomo5484]

"Madam...How do you do?" stated in a grave, pseudo-British voice was comedy for a generation following this inspired commercial. Almost as good: Frantic grandma at the phone telling...anybody, "There's a man in the bathtub!"

[@BLACKREDTAILANGEL]

I thought it was just me! I love this commercial. I'm almost 50 and I say that sometimes when I meet someone!. Classic!

[@lovesfreedomtoo]

this was my fave mr bubbles commercial

[@jevilscientist]

I was born in 63..I want to go back! I want to go back!!! inncent an d so cute commercial!!!!.

[@2kes]

I still love Mr. Bubble and keep some at home.

[@janwalker5499]

So glad to find this -- I say these words to my 3 year old grand daughter and she just giggles!

[@gurutuphilip]

Love it. One of my favorites of all time.

[@David-yw2lv]

This was a favorite ad in my preteen years.I had several boxes of Mr Bubble brought home for me until I was in the 3rd grade.I outgrew bubble baths by then.

[@thomasthomas2418]

"Oh, you're a nuisance!". Always used that line when playing with the cat.

[@btshea9537]

My dad and I always quote this commercial. He grew up with it and I always tell him “It’s Mr. Bubble, he’ll get you so clean Grandma won’t know you”

[@Nasus987]

I grew up watching this , thanks for posting it !Luv it

[@rickkolpek9850]

I loved this commercial

[@jjdubs13]

Wow! I can't remember the last time I saw this commercial. I was just a kid, too!

[@jpolar394]

I wonder if that little kid on the front of the box is still with us today.

[@DreamDancer82]

Wow. I didn't even know Mr. Bubble was this old!

[@zipadee30]

Love it! My kids say it with pretend mustaches too!

[@GypsyFairy85]

She acts like Mr. Magoo too!

[@Jean-qf4ug]

This was THE BEST commercial ever! My husband didn’t remember it, but found it on You Tube for me! I laughed so hard I aspirated my coffee! Who wrote this and voiced it?? It’s so precious even today. If I wasn’t almost 70, I’d buy a box and give it a whirl again. However, I’m too afraid I’ll slip out of the tub and break a hip!!! Omg. Thank you for still making this available. I’m out of breath from laughing and so grateful for that laugh and this great memory.

[@lestersabados1306]

It leaves NO BATHTUB RING. Why do you think u wood Slipp

[@scienz]

go buy some and use it. you're never too old to enjoy yourself.

[@debbieperalta4129]

As a child, i always laughed when this 1 came on. 😂

[@daleheltzer1318]

I remember this! Seems so WEIRD now, despite my own nostalgia

[@goodjuju320]

"Madam How Do You Do" That part cracks me up. 😅

[@Carolyngenea]

I always remember this commercial from my childhood. So funny! They definitely made me want Mr. Bubble when I was a kid.

[@rubbertwain]

Gilbert: It's a horse Grandma: It is not, it's Mister Bubble!

[@davidward2052]

For me, how he says the line "It's a horse" cracks me up. Also... The water is still on and running with Hubert still in the tub. Interesting little detail.

[@theopholistpunuval3594]

Man I think I was 5 when this one came out

[@ernestcruz6316]

We used Mr. Bubble later on when it was made with a gentler formula, but at the time this was on we used Soaky for bubble bath. We also used Crazy Foam way back then. Looked like shaving cream but with a kid friendly smell, plus the cap was a character that could be turned into a hand puppet when the can was empty.

[@thomasthomas2418]

"Now Hubert, I expect to find you in that tub with Mr. Bubble!"

[@heatherlindquist1899]

It’s making me realize my memory is insanely amazing.

[@DanellTomasella]

I remember seeing this commercial !

[@gtlfb]

When I was seven or eight, my mom rushed me to the doctor when I developed an all-over rash. The first thing he asked; "Did you use Mr. Bubble?". (It had just come on the market.) He said it was like washing you kids in Tide. Still remember the commercial, though.

[@wendydomino]

Yeah it was super harsh!

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

Childhood fun memories of getting a mr. Bubble bath

[@montana12810]

MR BUBBLE CAUSED (NUT RASH)! I'M A SURVIVOR! LOL

[@soylentteal]

That's what you get for being the man in the bathtub! :-)

[@GabagoolGang]

This is fucking adorable.

[@klunt40]

i miss my grandma

[@sandranelson7124]

(This is Tom, not Sandra.) One of my favorite 1960's commercials, ever!!!!

[@gaylejensen2640]

done that, and it really does not leave a bathtub ring !!!

[@pylgrym]

Classic!

[@taraquinch1256]

I used to adore this commercial when I was young. It was so funny and cute to me.😆😆😆😆❤❤❤ 1:05

[@PetsNPatients]

I do remember this...😅

[@GypsyFairy85]

Mr. Magoo's mother?

[@tjfreak]

They all forgot to wear their dentures...

[@jettcarlburg356]

"Madame HOW do you dooo????"

[@bcrkris]

Grandma looks like a Mrs. Magoo.

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂i still love mr.bubble

[@philmitchell3337]

Madam how do you do , oh, the little camp was that him, grandmother it's me.

[@Guy4755]

Tell her it leaves no bathtub ring. She'll like that.

[@dianecaplan5407]

that was funny that he was a puppy dog into a man with bubbles.

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

Rhe scent of mr.bubble i remember from childhood bubblegum scent

[@Babbleplay]

She's basically Mister Magoo, but old lady version.

[@carole.4628]

anatomically correct Hubert would have been a bit much back then I guess.

[@venomwise]

I work my way into all their cracks and crevices yes Robot Chicken sent me

[@NoName-hg6cc]

"Definitive charge of bathing with thousands of naked children since 1961, how do you plead, mr Bubble?"

[@gregrobinette8620]

Here becuz of Robot Chicken, hahaha

[@philmitchell3337]

Oh the little scamp was that him.

[@mark747100]

Ha ha. There's a man in the bathtub.

[@alanstrong55]

Bet anyone named Hubert did not like Mr. Bubble.

[@Kameron232]

There’s a man in my bathtub lol

[@deanevangelista6359]

"It's a hoooorrrssse!"

[@janedoe5229]

The man who has plenty of peanuts

[@lestersabados1306]

It was always fun to make fun of blind elders. (Mr. Magoo)

[@roberthill799]

The announcer who comes in at the end...any idea who it is? He sounds like a t.v character from that time but I just can't place him.

[@christopherlyons5900]

Basically riffing on Mr. Magoo there. Somehow took me half a century to figure that out. I don't think we ever actually used Mr. Bubble, though. Other bubble bath formulas, but not very often.

[@popbottle2645]

looks the same animation as Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol

[@vivelafrance7968]

it does! you're right ;-)

[@brotftheyhaveusernamesnow]

popbottle thats because it was animated by the same studio, UPA.

[@popbottle2645]

so either i'm smart for guessing or dumb for not looking it up ;)

[@brotftheyhaveusernamesnow]

You're smart for guessing, This commercial is one of the lesser-known UPA animations

[@popbottle2645]

i have Mr. Maggoo's Christmas Carol tattooed on my heart. Grandma could be Belle, grown old

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

Box Nd bottle mr. Bubble classi❤cs

[@lljames123]

Did Art Babbitt animate Mr Bubbles also...? he did animate Mr Magoo...

[@scottlevison7994]

Madam how do you doooo.....

[@wendydomino]

That bubble bath was so harsh that it made me absolutely miserable to the point of crying when I tried it. I was screaming and felt like my skin was trying to eat itself

[@CAMEROON636]

MR. BUBBLE'S 🟣

[@LindaMerchant-bq2hp]

A man.. theres a man

[@btsvirus6039]

😁😂😀

[@SteveCarras]

Sounds like a man as "Granny"..whose company did these..any c redits for company/cast? Haven't seen this in 50 years myself.

[@eugenemason9675]

TELL her to get some damn new glasses. 🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@Thekont5]

i was hoping for something from bioshock or something..
