Zoobooks commercial (long 2 minute version, 2001)

Aired on Cartoon Network in early 2001.

[@ryanbeyond2352]

I swear, this used to air every commercial break in the early 2000s. Life was simpler then. Wish I could go back

[@JimmyStruthers1000]

Damn im 26 years old as I type this and man.. I used to see this commercial at least 5 times a day watching billy and mandy, ed edd n eddy, spongebob, all of those early 2000s shows.. Man i wish i could go back..

[@bigmoist990]

Six year old me didn't get the part of "you must be 18 or older to call" so when I called and they asked about my age, all they said was "we'll send them right now". It's been over a decade and I'm still waiting for my Zoobooks.

I was about ten years old when Zoobooks were released. Even amongst the most ardent animal lovers I knew in my school, not a single one of them, myself included, had or got Zoobooks. Yet, the commercials were on all the time. My friends and I had the running joke, "On a scale of 1 to Zoobooks" to state the likelihood of us getting something :P

The wouldn't stop playing these commercials for like the whole damn decade lol from what I remember

Probably why so many of us can still recite these commercials word for word, even after so many years. As soon as I stumbled upon this, nostalgia hit me like a train. Couldn't help saying the lines as he did. lol

I remember watching Nickelodeon or cartoon network and this commercial used to come on all the time lol.

I was just getting into kindergarten when this aired and I still remember seeing this.

Man I actually saw the shorter version a lot more than this one. I've only seen this one I think a total of 3-5 times on air. Do they still actually make Zoobooks anymore?

They're still making them. Their official website has been updated this year.

Haha, I was 8 when these came out, if it was early 2001. I had a few of them as a kid. The shark, wolf and tiger ones, if I recall. They were neat. They're probably buried in storage somewhere, though.

I don't have very fond memories of this commercial. The sheep toy at the end scared the living crap out of me and the girl's voice and music doesn't help, the music with the teacher and Phillip doesn't help (Plus, when Phillip says, "They're cool", his face is a little creepy.), and the announcer saying the number at the end, along with the music, also doesn't help.

[@kevinestrada977]

They should sell ZooBooks in actual zoos.

TIL there was a long version of the commercial. This feels like forbidden knowledge.

At the end of the commercial when they say to order, how come they say that the person must be 18 years of older to call?

cause you have to be a legal adult to order anything
