[@peequod]

“Havin’ a good time while you get nice n’ purdy...” 😂 loved this commercial, literally just popped into my head after 40 something years and had to look it up!

[@cashcoolerj8271]

I'm BLOWN AWAY!!!! I'm '57' years old, and this commercial is from my childhood!!! I NEVER thought I'd EVER see this again!!!!!!

[@Darrin-h1l]

I've been trying to find this commercial for a while ,thank you

[@langstongeorgejr.1221]

I'll be 57 this coming November. This was the best commercial, I couldn't get enough of it. I was in elementary school when this commercial came out. There was this friend of mine who had the idea of singing this song in class(he was very talented). One of those guys singing was "Sunny" of "Grease" fame. I just loved this commercial. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SmokyMountainStarlight]

Mr. Bubble in the Tubble has never left my mind in all these years...😆😂one of those theme songs that stuck in my mind i don't know why 🤗

[@wdh47211]

Loved The Bubblaires....had all their albums. I saw twice once in Madison Square Garden in NYC and then at The Pallidium in London

[@rjaychiefs]

Omg! I used to sing this all the time!!

[@wvcricker5683]

Oh dear Lord! I remember this from when I was in elementary school!! 😂😂😂. Everybody sang this jingle!

[@sharonj.9597]

My favorite Mr Bubble commercial! Awe...the 70s.

[@nathancoleman7235]

Did this run in 1973?

[@sharonj.9597]

@@nathancoleman7235 Think it was late 70s.

[@NickYourHomeLoanFriendKrehnke]

Thank you for posting this. For some reason this song has stuck in my head for several decades lol. Love it!

[@aaronrbrundidge]

I remember when this commercial first aired in the 70s. Practically everybody in grade school was singing it after that. Ahhhhhh, memories!!!

[@2Cheese]

Umm “remember”? Ok

[@shawnmalone9711]

I haven't seen this commercial since 1977! Thank you!😃😃😄😄

[@crisathome]

Just like I remember it pretty much. I have the song memorized and only had a few words wrong however I am 59 And I memorized this when I was in elementary school. Good throw back jingle.

[@shininglightindustries5428]

I have been looking for this commercial for a long time. Thanks for posting it.

[@toddstokes9909]

I love the soundtrack of all the girls going crazy over the bubbling performance!

[@38yofrmut]

I recognize the lead, Michael Tucci T-Bird Sunny from "Grease!"

[@claresykes7793]

YESSS!!!

[@soonermodels1173]

I thought that looked like him

[@troypatton7290]

yep

[@CadillacL]

Oh my goodness. I never thought I would hear this commercial again. I’ve been looking for ages. This song always get stuck in your head

[@juliagooliagiulia723]

Omg. I knew this song by heart. !over this commercial as a 9 year old

[@KW-gb9cd]

"It's as fun as getting dirty"; quite possibly the greatest ad slogan of all time.

[@kurtkauffman4326]

Aired mainly in the late 70's during the Network Saturday Morning Cartoon Shows.

[@jamesholz1151]

Mr Bubble in the tubble is guaranteed to replay in your head for months on end!!

[@bloodmooncomix457]

I know, huh?!👌😙

It's been replaying in my head for decades on end!!

Michael Tucci from the movie "Grease": "Hey Putzi... fifteen minutes"

[@khonchusakwerius7237]

I been here before and the 80’s was the BEST era!!

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

Unforgettable. Of course, none of us kids at the time knew that introduction was spoofing Ed Sullivan!

[@davidhardy3993]

Loved that song and never knew the were spoofing Ed Sullivan till now, I just knew taking a bath was now fun, brought back some incredible and fun childhood memories, thanks for the knowledge.

[@You-sw7tm]

0:24 Those screams. YIKES!!!

[@dvdaffy]

Thank you for posting this. I have looked for this funny commercial for a long time, going so far as to contact the owning company of Mr. Bubble who did not own a copy as it was created by a former owner of Mr. Bubble. It is still super funny!

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

dvdaffy You contacted the company? That's odd because this was posted by the official Mr bubble channel which the company has.

[@goodmaro]

@@nationalcoasternews5798 Yes, but they added videos that collectors contributed, and may not even have had a KZbin channel at the time dvdaffy commented. A couple they still don't have from about 1969 include one that you can find elsewhere online now -- the little girl in the bathtub singing "Bathtub ring is going down..." to the tune of London Bridge -- and one that didn't show the product actually in use, but started with the mother, like a policeman, "blowing the whistle on bathtub ring" with an actual whistle as she ordered the family to stay out of the tub unless they used the product. Another they don't have is the Mr. Bubble Pool Party using multiple pools, a child (or portrayal of one) voice-over and the *liquid* version of the product from the 1970s; the earlier pool party using the powdered version from the 1960s is online.

[@Sparkina]

That stuff smelled divine

[@MadameLil]

Finally found this ... so happy.

[@mikedre1054]

I am thinking that there is another version of this song. I remember a falsetto voice singing the"having a good time" verse. Possibly Sha Na Na.

[@harryplor9796]

W song

[@WonkaVator72]

I've also been looking for this one for years. Thanks for posting!

[@thomasbrown3356]

We used to sing this song at school recess. Lol

They need to do a remix of this song!👊😆😎😃

[@blackygunzz]

i'm 53 yrs old. i wake up singing, "Don't Go" by Dreamboy to my ole lady while we're havin coffee but while i'm literally singing out loud, the fuckin Mr Bubbles song just pops up outta nowhere in my fuckin head on repeat after 45 yrs....so here i am.

[@panowa8319]

Aw, my childhood: 1970s!

[@jenniferwebster8026]

I wonder who created and filmed this commercial...-JW

[@MrRemark21]

This commercial was way back in 1977.

[@MadameLil]

Do I see Barry Pearl in this? He was one of the T-Birds in the Grease movie.

[@troypatton7290]

micheal tucci from grease 2

[@nathancoleman7235]

Can anybody confirm if this commercial aired in 1973 because it was one of the earliest commercials I remember from childhood

[@sharonj.9597]

Think it was around 77 or 78.. I think.

[@gabrielmatthews9494]

We didn't have Mr. Bubble. We used dishwashing liquid instead. But i'd be thinking Mr. Bubble! Lol

[@dawna1214]

Okay 👍🏽 😂

[@bradwelljackson6385]

What year was this commercial?

[@MrRemark21]

In this commercial, this performance is or was not associated with the SLDC HiTops version.

[@LandondeeL]

Good ol' Will Jordan as Ed Sullivan.

[@davidhoptman4971]

Any way to find out the name of one of the actor's in this commercial? Guy with the tambourine looks A LOT like the sketch of a 70's serial killer who is still at large.

[@CacandMeese21]

Imagine that was Ozzy Oswald

[@DHAdArchivez]

I see those mr bubble things in walmart

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

Why did they stop selling the powder version?

[@MrRemark21]

Most American sources say it is or was kind of dry.

[@goodmaro]

Really they didn't have much reason to sell it after 1971 when it was reformulated to reduce irritancy produced by sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate -- which was done in the powder version essentially by cutting it with inert filler. But because they had an established customer base, they kept selling the powder alongside the liquid for about another 20 years. Mr. Bubble had been one of several powdered "family" unscented bubble baths since about 1960 (the first being Charlie Eaton's Bub, then Matey) based on the formulas of the high-suds all-purpose household detergents of the time. By being priced cheaper, Mr. Bubble out-competed Matey -- which then, however, went on to become *the* product in its class in England. The liquid, introduced shortly before the powder was nerfed, was always a different formula, and scented.

[@goodmaro]

I hope that ad was aimed at adults. If I'd seen it as a young child, I'd've been turned off to all bathing! Like the Tide commercial (of a boy and girl sinking into a running washing machine fully clothed) scared me of washing machines.

[@dianecaplan5407]

Those four mens fat tummys are shaped like circles and they are wearing mr bubble white colored bath robes and some people are screaming while they singing and i can only see their hands moving around instead their arms moving around.
