Cereal Commercials

[@LorenIpsum75]

45:31 Before Jim Henson's Muppets, there were Bil & Cora Baird. The Baird puppets were everywhere in the 50s: Broadway Musicals ("Lili"), TV Specials ("Art Carney Meets Peter & The Wolf" is on KZbin), Life Magazine (The Steve Allen v. Ed Sullivan feud), etc. Never knew these ads existed. Thanks!

Thurl Ravenscroft it's the voice of Champy in the Wheaties commercials.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

He was also the voice of Tony the Tiger in the Kellogg's Frosted Flakes ads, as well as the one who sang "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch," in the half hour animated TV special version of Dr. Seuss's children's book, "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (hosted and narrated by actor Boris Karloff, who was also the voice of the Grinch himself), which was first broadcast in 1966, and has been repeated on TV every year since during the Christmas season. In addition, Thurl Ravenscroft did some of the voices for the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" ride at Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida. I think they have a version of the ride at one of the foreign Disney theme parks.

So many of these characters voiced by the genius Daws Butler.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

That's what I thought. He was best known as the voices for many of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters like Yogi Bear, Quick Draw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, and many others. He also did a few voices for the Warner Brothers cartoons as well.

[@jln55]

And Paul Frees is in quite a few (ex.The Apple Jack).

Fun facts 1 the first voice actor of toucan Sam was Mel blanc aka bugs bunny 2 rice cristpises had 4 mascots at one point 3 the first mascot of Frosted Flakes was a kangaroo

[@GumballsArtsandProductions]

Wait, for the 3rd one, I thought that there were 4 mascots for Frosted Flakes and whichever one was more popular would be the mascot. The 4 mascots were Tony the Tiger, Katy the Kangaroo, Elmo the Elephant, and Newt the New. I got this information from watching one of Watch Mojo's top 10 list a couple of years ago.

[@John-wg6xw]

Hal Baylor as "Big Otis" for Kellogg's "OKs" (their answer to "Cheerios"), 1959.

[@teeseeree]

I remember those, but I thought they had Snagglepuss on them.

[@RusstheTroubadour]

They actually had Yogi Bear on the box. They rebranded the cereal when it sponsored The Yogi Bear Show..which was spun off of The Huckleberry Hound Show. When Yogi was cancelled so was the icereal . Kelloggs was a sponsor of Hanna-Barbera shows. Snaggelpuss was on Coco Crispies

[@fromthesidelines]

Snagglepuss became the "icon" (and spokes-lion) for Cocoa Krispies in 1961. He remained on their boxes through 1966.

[@fromthesidelines]

Yep! OK's, Kellogg's answer to General Mills' Cheerios, never sold that well, anyway. When they ended their syndicated sponsorship of "YOGI BEAR" in 1966, as you've noted, OK's disappeared.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

The "Kellogg's OK" cereal ad with Big Otis the Scotsman probably wouldn't be considered "politically correct" today because Otis would be seen as a stereotype. It would also be the same way with the "Cheerios" commercial with the Indian Chief threatening to scalp the Cheerios Kid and his girlfriend, Sue (whose name, ironically, sounds like "Sioux").

[@mcfrdmn]

Excellent vintage cereal commercials

[@fromthesidelines]

42:31- 'HOTEL DE PAREE" (CBS, 1959-'60) was sponsored on alternate weeks by Kellogg's and Liggett & Myers [L&M cigarettes].

[@teeseeree]

I never knew what L&M stood for. But they did help me learn my alphabet. I could never remember if M or N came first. I'd have to think about M coming right after L, by remembering cigarettes. I still have to do that sometimes.

The actual fact is Froot Loops actually taste the same. The fruit was only used as a coloring. So... the older commercials were a lie.

[@Boys-AllTheStuffAndMore]

It’s still like that.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

In the ad with Homer and Jethro (I forgot which cereal it was for), they told a joke where one of them pretends that he's in a restaurant or a diner or something like that, and he asks the waiter for "a cup of coffee without cream," and his partner, pretending to be the waiter, says "I'm sorry, we're all out of cream. Can it be without MILK?" That must have been an old joke, because I also heard it in the movie "Ninotchka" (1939). In a scene that takes place in a Paris, France, cafe, Melvyn Douglas, as a local playboy, tries to get a smile out of Ninotchka (Greta Garbo), a rather dour Communist official from Russia, who sees all manner of laughter and fun as capitalist frivolities. To make her laugh, he tells her the joke mentioned above, which some men at the next table find hilarious, but Ninotchka only responds with her usual sourpuss expression. Even when Douglas tells her the joke again, or at least tries to explain it, Ninotchka still doesn't think it's funny, although the other men still laugh at it. "I don't understand it," he says, "how come you never laugh at my jokes? Everybody else does." Just as he utters these words, he leans too far back in his chair, and falls on his behind on the cafe floor, which causes everyone to laugh uproariously -- INCLUDING NINOTCHKA!

Re: the "Frosted Flakes" commercial at the rodeo. Tony The Tiger should have realized that he wasn't riding a "Mama Bull," and for a very simple reason: there's no such thing as a Mama Bull! A Mama would be a mother, which is a FEMALE; bulls are always MALES. If a bull is a mother, then she would be a COW, not a bull. Sheldon Leonard was the voice of Linus The Lion-hearted in the "Kellogg's Crispy Critters" ads. Notice how the cereal "animals" run over Linus everytime he says the name of the product (while the male chorus sings "The one and only cereal that comes in the shape of animals"). Whoever made this ad was probably thinking of those old vaudeville routines where someone would go berserk at the mere mention of certain words or phrases, like "Slowly I Turned," in which a crazed hobo would become violent whenever he hears the words "Niagara Falls," or "Floogle Street," where a man is trying to deliver some hats to the Susquehanna Hat Company on the title street, but everytime he asks somebody where the street and/or the company is, the person he asks goes crazy and breaks one of the hats. The "Call For Orange Moose" song is sung to the tune of "Camptown Races." I remember all those "Sugar Crisp" cereal spots with Sugar Bear singing "Can't enough of my Sugar Crisp," but I never realized until recently that the melody of that jingle sounds almost like the old religious hymn "Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho." By the way, Sugar Crisp is now called "Honey Crisp," probably because a lot of people are now concerned that there's too much sugar in breakfast cereals, that it can rot someone's teeth, make him gain weight, can ruin one's health, etc. Some experts now say sugar can actually be addictive, or that it can even cause cancer!

Ted Cassidy is the voice of Koko, The Jungle Man for Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

Ted Cassidy played Lurch the butler on "The Addams Family." He was the one who was always being summoned by either Gomez or Morticia Addams, to whom he would reply (in a weird voice that sounded more like a low animal growl), "Youuu ranngg, Mr. (or Mrs.) Addams?" He also played "Curly" Norton in the movie "Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid" (1969), with Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the title roles. "Curly" was the one who challenges Butch Cassidy to a fight to decide whether Butch should remain the boss of the "Hole In The Wall" gang, or if Curly should take his place ("Guns or knives, Butch?"), only to instantly lose the fight when Butch kicks him in his genitals without a warning, then tells Sundance to "give me a 'one, two, three, GO!' " After Sundance does so, Butch clobbers Curly by punching in the face with BOTH of his fists clenched together.
