Scruff McGruff ad 1998

[@Ooolawan]

Scruff needs to come back because shit has gotten real in Chicago

[@Posted3000]

That's cause they fired him unfortunately

[@nitsuj182]

You sir have won the internet! Congratulations!

[@mtsmith89]

Literally laugh out loud.

[@Zackmorris689]

He would hang himself if he saw Chicago today

[@Kadin73]

Just make sure he's voiced by Willem Dafoe

[@tayjoejon6165]

That jingle at the end has been stuck in my head for 22 years

[@skahler]

Even the exact zip code lol.

[@nemasis3134]

*60652*

[@hiiloveyou5791]

Samsies

[@BigAut1]

Same lmao 🤣😂🤣 😂

[@vaneyjane]

Same.

[@yushatak]

The jazzy way of saying it at the end has been stuck in my head since 1998 - I shall never forget that damn address.

[@joshuasewell3793]

thought I was the only one lmao

[@Doogie769]

It's 2016 and I still remember that address as a kid.

[@noprotravel8379]

Yushatak bahahahahahah me too I say it all the time!

[@CSalustro]

2017, Scruff is still kicking. Wondering why he hasn't jumped up behind Trump yet.

[@tomscrub798]

Same af

[@mz610]

If he took the gun the alleys kids wouldnt have been an issue....

[@davidbraae9735]

Lol

[@stephenhernandez4729]

BULLIES BE GONE! 😂😂😂😂😂😏😏😏😏😏😤😤😤😤😤👹👹👹👹👹👺👺👺👺👺

[@yourmother897]

I was thinking that

[@musicalmelodies3595]

Lmaooo. Sad truth

[@melodyperez6445]

😂😂😂

[@KCJ506]

RIP Jack Keil(creator and voice of Mcgruff).

[@Kadin73]

McGruff could come back. He just has to be voiced by Willem Dafoe

[@twowheeltimmy88]

I miss this stuff man. Saturday morning cartoons with a cup full of Pops, Honeycomb, or Wafflecrisp cereal... the Friday night lineup, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Home Improvement, Startrek Voyager.... man those were the days. Not all of the crap we're living through these days. Love to all my 80's/90's brothers and sisters.

[@JazzyJeff910]

Yup TGIF on ABC was my life as a kid.

[@DavidTerryTAEC]

11pm Star Trek Voyager was a staple in my childhood for many years.

[@freddiesimmons1394]

Tv has been in a golden age for years

[@mida8261]

Since my dad has a friend who's a gun enthusiast, as a kid, I remembered my response being, "YEEAAAHHH!!" to holding a gun.

[@jizunk_in_my_trizunk]

Mi Da Do your dad and his friend have loud wrestle fights with the door closed, cause that might not be what you expect.

[@Chasecka]

This is 100% before 1998!

[@pepinmystepmusic]

The world went downhill without psas in commercials and cartoons

[@gladitsnotme]

When I was a kid I didn't realize this isn't even a real address, there's no PO Box or anything wtf? lmfao

[@thetreyrich1]

the post office probably knew where to deliver mail to that address.

[@vidmuncher]

This must have been the equivalent of using a VPN, but in meatpacking back in the 90's

[@hectorleon465]

Me being 31 years old, it hits hard on me cause i remember as a kid seeing this and only to find out to this day an age people i grew up with or i knew became everything you see here... Gangs, drugs, selling themselves, or dead due to these activities... Man i tell you life really hits you hard...

[@slanetroyard92]

I feel you man. Bout to be 31 and I remember this commercial like it was yesterday. Thanks to mcgruff, my folks a few teens from the high school section at my old school I stayed away from drugs and gangs growing up. Guns weren't really a problem though. Grandparents owned a couple and drilled into my head a important lesson. Guns aren't cool and they're not toys. They're just for protection if there's a break in.

[@benmunoz2766]

I'm 29 now and never thought id be exposed to all that shit when I was watching these commercials as a kid in his teens. luckily, life's different now lol

[@lilmighty3007]

🎶Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus prime like scruff McGruff took a bite out of crime🎶

[@Ryrynz2000]

That's why I'm here, finally googled it..

[@LOUDsigh]

I just came for the ending!

[@servantofthelivinggod6192]

😆😆

[@pladampa]

💯

[@giuseppejoseph8890]

Oh my god... I remember Scruff. RIP to my childhood.

[@skahler]

Yo idk why but this just straight up popped into my head just now, like 25 years later. The original vs of this had him saying "let me have it" instead of "I want it" at the end lol

[@badgerinthewagon1283]

I love the animation. So fluid and bouncy. I hope to animate like that as i age. Think of how great it would look with current technology

[@ctdieselnut]

I just remember the ....Chicago Illinois 60652 jingle, Googled it, it was this. It's been subconsciously imprinted on my brain since 1998 when I was 7 lol. Effective.

[@servantofthelivinggod6192]

Actually it’s, 🎶 scruff McGruff, Chicago Illinois, 60652 🎶, 😂😂

[@goodbrothersteve]

This Dog is the reason a lot of us never messed with drugs

[@pladampa]

And some of us did 😆.

[@Janine.Najarian]

ye i still remember this because of the jingle. ...god i'm old

[@Corinthians--yx5bb]

Saw this commercial as a kid. Thanks for posting this! 😀

[@robison87]

I saw this literally 25 years ago and never forgot scruff mcgruff Chicago Illinois 60652 lol

[@whyyoutrippindeebo3514]

0:52 the only reason I’m here.

[@tigerqueen007]

I've always wanted to read that comic!

[@StopFear]

Like with another comments, the jazz song at the end is stop in my head “scruff mcgruff chicago Illinois 60652!”

[@eddieohh6627]

I grew up in the late 90s early 00s and always felt this promoted crime

[@vanillalemonfox3673]

I wasn’t even born in the 90’s and I remember watching a short film about this

[@EdgySwordfish]

Thanks to scruff, I'll always know Chicago's zipcode. I keep that in the part of my brain that holds random useless knowledge.

[@brianhalljr.2637]

I remember this commercial.

[@bemiatto67]

That smooth animation though

[@TheRexhim]

"Someone help me quit smoking" 😄

[@mikeyrockitt2410]

90s baby’s we was the ones keep it alive

[@wormw0ood]

Still singing the address in 2021

[@Snicketbar]

Talk about an earworm. That last bit just popped into my head randomly just now.

[@rocketman6478]

I wrote to scruff mcgruff, Chicago illinoise,, sixohhsix fivetooo, just as the jingle indicates.. never got a damn thing.. ended up becoming a drug addicted bully, toting a pistol in dark alley ways stealing kids sneakers... thanks alot scruff..

[@MrSamer83]

I want it, I want it!!! Lol

[@ceeezzzzzzz]

I'm from the Bay and knew Chicago's zip code as a kid for no reason

[@minewheaties5029]

Wasn't voiced by Clint Eastwood, but the voice sure bears a striking resemblance to his.

[@Kadin73]

He should be voiced by Willem Dafoe though.

[@bonitachica2136]

This song randomly popped in my head

[@brianuba9187]

Anyone see the new Geico commercial

[@JoobJaibot]

Yeah... McGruff should've took a bite out of them... Great commercial though.

[@LeoJLoera]

i didn't like how they disrespected McGruff. He's a professional trying to do his job.

[@williamseaman176]

McGruff the Crime Dog is incredible and influential! There should be an animated TV series about him and Scruff!

[@pammajidy9487]

Just randomly popped into my head

[@heatpete5106]

This commercial kept me away from inhalants, marijuana and cocaine powder. I said NO!

[@ColdCoolinRecordings]

Mcgruff is needed on tv now more than ever yo

[@GhostMalone90]

Man I be singing this address all day 😂

[@justju0rd]

Would be cool to see Crime Dog Mcgruff make a comeback to broadcast television, a lot of PSA's are still around like "Its 10pm where is your child?" by the way the animation in 90s Mcgruff PSA's are really amazing

[@AM-rt5eb]

Legendary Zip Code Jingle 60652. I'm sure they played this commercial many many times during Fox Kids, Kids WB Cartoon Network programming

[@Spawn3X5]

Animation so clean when people gave a damn

[@TheZestyOne]

This commercial might be my earliest memory

[@hankhumble3552]

Such smooth animation

[@itsreelydalin]

I was convinced both of the dogs had the same name and that the address was part of their names! #childhood

[@ladykissthevelvet21]

I was just thinking about this commercial

[@arcsine]

imagine you're 10 years old walking back from the mailbox where you just sent a letter to scruff mcgruff chicago illinois 60652; only to be confronted by bullies in an alley trying to steal your sneakers, and not knowing what to do because the commercial made you mail in for the advice instead of just telling you in said commercial lol.

[@Calmonay]

Goosebumps

[@cryospiral]

Talk about a blast from the past! Am I the only one who noticed Scruff's odd posture when he asked about the video game and why is his friend named Bumpo?

[@timetoflyintotheabyss6676]

Seannaners led me here , and i do say I am not disappointed with what I see.

[@Ephisus]

That fucking address has been in my head for decades.

[@masterasia4175]

Waaaaait a minute... I specifically remember him saying "what happens, What happens?!" At be the end,not "I want it, I want it!"

[@darknight10000]

Different commercial.

[@justincross1247]

the Geico commercial made me remember this

[@donreese2413]

I remember this😌

[@ParadiXe311]

Don't fuck with Scruff McGruff, or else we might have to mail 60652, haha.

[@dxgaming4200]

McGruff: Raps to be cool and hip. Smokey Bear: Rejects rapping and coolness. Yeah, someone needs to take a page out of Smokey’s book.

[@jhsayre]

I am 35 and still remember the zip code 60652

[@NoPowerintheVerse]

Had to come on here and watch this because sometimes I will find myself randomly singing the theme and I wanted to see if I remembered the address correctly. 🤣

[@servantofthelivinggod6192]

I still remember it as well lol.

[@ruffle1]

I live in Canada and I have my whole life. For some reason this aired on tv here and I remember it down to the zip code. I’m 33. W for concerned childrens advertisers I guess.

[@joshualevan]

I’ve never seen that. The postal service must have given them a custom address that’s just a name, city, and zip. No PO Box or street.

[@DockLobstah]

Core Memory: Unlocked

[@FeIixDragon]

0:10 Scruff: what do I do? Mcgruff Idfk now let's go to the next scenario! And don't forget to send a letter to: Scruff Mcgruff, Chicago Illinois, SIX OH SIX FIVE TWO!!

[@chouts1]

Godzilla took a bite out of Optimus prime Like scruff mcgruff took a bite out of crime

[@pladampa]

No one that grew up during this time will ever forget that address. I almost kinda want to wrote it and see if it atill works.

[@dove.4871]

Praise to the most High!

[@americanidol434]

I remember this

[@lightheart5]

These commercials made me the person I am today

[@jeffcon123]

60652 I never forgot

[@rahshadblack3859]

Just checking for the CBB bump

[@EbenezerScroogeMcDuck]

lol the way he sings at the end is so random xD

[@servantofthelivinggod6192]

Guess they thought they would think outside of the box lol.

[@Jarend3]

It worked. Everyone that grew up with this commercial remembers it to this day.

[@mariod4346]

So i guess you can say 15 minutes or more can save you 5% on car insurance. *G E I C O*

[@ToddyTurnsLeft]

The 90’a was good so hard they allowed guns in commercials

[@XJonAye]

Has anyone ever gotten a that comic book

[@Pengal25]

Alright boy time to put you down, *points gun at scruff* "that's not very safe" "oh God he can talk?" *bang*

[@supersayianpeter10]

Geico brought me here

[@ReyosBlackwood]

The only zip code I actually remember.

[@DrowSkinned]

Sheeeeesh I've been singing the wrong zip code for years. I think my brain merged it which Stick Stickly

[@justanotherinternetwiseguy8018]

I never grew up on these commercials but when i see youtube videos about it there is one thing i don't understand. Why doesn't scruff help out? he just stands around,l even with his nephew lol

[@sweettmandi024]

I will never forget this shit🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@zincpodsquamble]

They made the African American kid speak in rhymes lol

[@TheAllSeeingEye2468]

Who keeps their consol in a closet? Who's parents did that? No kid I knew growing up had their consol in a closet

[@robertmiller3500]

Easy, use the your friend's dad's gun to protect yourself from the bullies. (Disclaimer: obviously this is a joke and you shouldn't use a gun on bullies)

[@ImagineBeingFat]

Too bad Scruff isn’t around in present day Chicago. Place is a disaster with Lori Leightweight

[@Ethanpowers-ns1wb]

Lol

[@metalmama1987]

60652 😂 30 years later

[@Josh-fz9rh]

We grew up on this now kids are pointing figure guns at the camera

[@vincentvice2786]

Only those kids that can afford postage get guidance on how to avoid a life of crime, drug and alcohol abuse. The poor kids get to follow they're natural course.

[@AlejandroDiaz-ot7jn]

Stuff like this guides the young ..

[@anactualmotherbear]

I remember the one where he says "what happens, what happens"

[@skyforce1983]

Y'all notice there's no address, house number or suite? Just his name and City state and zip code😂

[@servantofthelivinggod6192]

😂🤣😂

[@DrPanetto54]

I am a little confused. I remember him wearing a "Hat" like the Detectives of the 30's and 40's. I asked people my age 55-60 and they remember him also with a hat and some said that he had a pipe like Sherlock Holmes. "Get a bite out of crime commercials" That strange.

[@sacciuchi]

Kitboga brought me here

[@user-uw1er9fg7p]

We need to bring back Scruff McGruff, but do a parody where he's bought and sold and will let people get away with what they want if they give him Doggie treats. Scruff McGruff would be okay with Weed and Psychedelics, but probably go after hard drug users only. 🤣😂

[@dokidoki_bells]

cool

[@bryanr87]

Good God…

[@lucastibbs7150]

Why is there pizza tower to Tont noice in the backround
