Dubba Dance

[@XF990]

the 90s were fun

[@Doknot-tb9ey]

Definitely. The commercials were so fun and creative.

[@blakenapier3125]

They need to come back soon

[@04nbod]

David Boreanaz in a red velvet suit...dancing

[@CrustofCreation]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been looking everywhere for it. I always thought it was the cutest thing how they had everyone from their major shows performing this dance =]

[@JHollowayNetwork]

It's funny that we are viewing this video in better quality than we did in 1997 (you can't beat the MASTER quality).

[@jwilliams7554]

Too bad they cancelled Freakazoid. I would’ve loved to see him in this promo

[@revinhatol]

Hey Dubba-Ho Dubba-We Dubba-She Dubba-You Dubba-Me Dubba Everybody Dubba Dubba Hey Dubba-Ho Dubba-We Dubba-She Dubba-You Dubba-Me Dubba Everybody Dubba Dubba

[@alalahoward1299]

Nick Freno: In Spain it's "El Dubba Dubba" and in Sweden it's "Dooba Dooba".

[@LukasSheshene1]

Come again now?

[@soseztheleadr]

Thanks for the memories. I have been looking FOREVER for this song again.

[@HyperSonicXtreme]

The Steve Harvey Show Sister Sister Smart Guy The Jamie Fox Show 7th Heaven Unhappily Ever After The Waynes Bros Show Parent Hood I remember all those shows & the dance back when I was in 4th grade.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Don't forget Buffy the Vampire Slayer (season 1 going into season 2) which was virtually new to the WB at the time.

[@rudyiraheta80]

wayans not waynes

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) makes a cameo appearance in this promo.

[@MrParkerman6]

It isn't a Cameo, dumbass.

[@blakenapier3125]

She can be a Teen Star again

[@JHollowayNetwork]

One of my favorite WB image campaigns!

[@talariswatts-el9196]

Back when networks put a lot of work into their bumpers.

[@jonhester8909]

They don't make them like this anymore. And I loved that dance!😎

[@hamursh]

Buffy, Batman/Superman and Men in Black premiered in 1997.

[@kenrickbautista6141]

As a 90s baby/2000s kid/2010s teen, it really makes me happy how everyone seems to be having a good, fun time. 🙂

[@MrParkerman6]

It's still the early 2000s, dumbass. Will be until about 2500.

[@blakenapier3125]

Who’s that guy that Bugs Bunny whacks the head.

[@kenrickbautista6141]

@@blakenapier3125 beats me

[@blakenapier3125]

I know who it is

[@leoninja]

it looks a little corny to me now seeing some of these big name stars participating in that dance, i'm sure some of them were thinking that at the time, then again some of them got their start on the wb and at the of the end day, that promo was still a cool thing to watch back then

[@tyo789]

0:13 is this entire network run by woodland creatures? hahah steve harvey

[@DJDizzyStorms]

This was so much fun to watch

[@swagkirby3449]

Imagine the reporter from Rhythm Heaven Fever on this... "Dubba Dubba Dubba, 'zat true?"

[@Camilion922]

I have been looking for this!

[@kevindavis2315]

Plot twist =all the cartoon footage came from existing footage from space jam and pinky and the brain

[@jwsu2003]

Just realized that Kenny Blank appears in this 1997-98 image campaign, but he left the Parent Hood after the 96-97 season.

[@demetriusdillard2863]

That's right, jwsu2003! Kenny Blank (now Kenn Michael) departed from "The Parent 'Hood" after its third season in 1997. His replacement was misguided street urchin T.K. Anderson (Tyrone D. Burton), who the Peterson family invited into their brownstone to set him on the straight and narrow.

[@blakenapier3125]

They need to be Young again

[@TKGIOIA]

I enjoy the cut and paste animation. I even found brain from Brainstem!

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Wow! this is nice. We'll You've got more of this? the 1997-1998 Image Campaign for The WB! is there any other people behind this project? (Chris Quihuiz, Dave Dore, Mendel Tropper, Steve Domier etc....)

[@chrispleasantable]

Who else was in this besides Jackée Harry, Tim Reid, Tia Mowry, Tamera Mowry, Tahj Mowry, Jamie Foxx, Steve Harvey and Cedric the Entertainer?

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz, Nicholas Brendan, Barry Watson, Jessica Biel, Beverley Mitchell, Kevin Connolly, Nikki Cox as well as Tom Arnold and Mitch Mullany.

[@demetriusdillard2863]

Don't forget Tom Arnold, Kwadwo! (He's at 1:21 and 2:21!)

[@demetriusdillard2863]

Funny, I didn't see the late Tom Poston in the promo...I think you were referring to Tom Arnold, whose third short-lived sitcom (following "The Jackie Thomas Show" and "Tom"), "The Tom Show," debuted that autumn on Sunday nights.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

+Demetrius Dillard I've already corrected it!

[@demetriusdillard2863]

Thank you, Kwadwo!

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Didn't they do another version with the Techno version (known as the "Dubba Dance Mix") in the background?, although that runs over 5 minutes (it was more associated with Kids' WB).

[@alalahoward1299]

VHS used for SubZero.

[@blakenapier3125]

I would love to do Dubba

[@lianaa4356]

You can clearly see how they fired all the black people when you watch the 2000 promo after this one

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Yeah well they got rid of Parent Hood, Wayans Bros., Sister Sister, Smart Guy and then later on in the early-2000's Jamie Foxx and Steve Harvey got the 'ax.

[@jwilliams7554]

Jamie fox was on until 01 while Steve Harvey was on until 02. They were rarely seen or left out of those promos in 99 and 00

[@stigwardduke7546]

Yeah. I can see why they fired the black stars on the WB. I think the boss of all bosses at the station was "the boss of WB by day and a Klansman by night."

[@MrParkerman6]

@Kwadwo Holloway It's still the early 2000s, dumbass. Will be until about 2500.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

@@jwilliams7554 Also not to mention the Buffy cast managed to venture out of promo duty by that point.

[@LogoMan7777]

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?

[@JHollowayNetwork]

this promo was shot in mid 1997.

[@JHollowayNetwork]

What about the behind-the-scenes extras and bloopers from the dance? and the ones that are missing like the TCA '98 version (w/ the Dawson's Creek cast) and the one with the Royal Crown Revue?

[@blakenapier3125]

Tien Shinhan King Cold Cell Nappa Gohan & Kibito would say about this.

[@jwsu2003]

Too bad the Wayans weren't in this video. This must be the only time in television history that a network slogan came with it's own dance. The WB was obviously capitalizing from the popularity of the Macarena.

[@pbsfundingaddict790]

1:43 Ehhh..... How many Dubbas do you want with that, Doc?

[@alalahoward1299]

Three or four.

[@blakenapier3125]

I would love to see Seth Green Anthony Stewart Head & Charisma Carpenter do the dubba dance

[@demetriusdillard2863]

Awesome promo...it's hilarious to see Steve Harvey (complete with hi-top fade), Tim Reid, Jamie Foxx, and Cedric The Entertainer bustin' a move and gettin' down with their bad selves! And look how young Jessica Biel, Nikki Cox, and Sarah Michelle Gellar are!

[@annie24ism]

Awesome they Rocked it.

[@andrewjackson1835]

Did the WB ever air the cartoons along with the sitcoms?

[@DJDizzyStorms]

+Andrew Jackson Yeah they did as a matter of fact.

[@andrewjackson1835]

+Dizzy Storms Which ones?

[@DJDizzyStorms]

+Andrew Jackson Well there was one & that was Pinky & The Brain. That came on Sunday nights from what I remember,

[@taurusve]

+Dizzy Storms You're right. But it got moved to Kids' WB! later on.

[@DJDizzyStorms]

+taurusve Good thing I remember that.

[@LogoMan7777]

Does anyone (besides Doug) have the '98 version with the Dawson's Creek cast?

[@JHollowayNetwork]

Maybe ask the people who worked at the network and see If they may have a copy.

[@daelen.cclark]

wich doug Greg Palmer?

[@JHollowayNetwork]

+Daelen .c there are several people that worked at the network (the two VPs of Marketing were Bob Bibb and Lewis Goldstein) look on through Linkedin and see the names of them, or contact Riverstreet Productions.
