Would I be wrong in saying I'd love seeing more animated commercials for cereals, in this day and age.. and to see some of these older cereals come back?
They still have the issue is the price is quite a bit more and, the thing is now they don’t even taste the same, even some of these cereals we ate taste much different now and, more plasticky because, they are trying to make even this sweetened cereals with different recipes where they are made more natural! Also they shutdown a lot of the smaller food companies and, the bigger corporations brought them out and, now they make things in much bigger batches and, that also makes them taste different!
How odd? Never heard of "Beep Beep" before and it looks like Warner Brothers couldn't be bothered even animating the commercial either. Looks like they just took the "storyboards" (the barebone pictures they use to sell the basic idea of the commercial to a client) and pasted them up. And never heard Mel Blanc voicing Sam the Toucan either.
"Beep Beep" never came off at all, along with a proposed "Dennis The Menace Puffs" and "Post Ghosties(Casper)", which also had cheaply animated commercials
How did we survive eating all those sugary cereals, riding our bikes without helmets, knee and elbow pads? Not to mention playing with those dangerous toys and never wearing seatbelts and no air bags in our cars. So happy I grew up in those dangerous times of the baby boomer generation. Thanks Fred!!!
The voice of Toucan Sam was provided by Mel Blanc. The voice of Sugar Bear was provided by Dean Martin soundalike Gerry Matthews. Ruth Buzzi was the voice of Granny Goodwitch.
And "Hokey Wolf" sounded like Phil Silvers. And "Elmer J. Fudd"= Arthur Q. Bryan. And "Simon Bar Sinister" sounded like Lionel Barrymore. And "Underdog"=Wally Cox. And "Tennessee Tuxedo"= Don Adams.
They show cereal along with toast, juice, milk, fruit to complete the vitamins & minerals in cereal. 😋 I seem to remember Post crispy critters " the one & only cereal that comes in the shape of animals" 🤭 & shows animated stampede!
Now i know why i always believed Post cereals were just a little bit better?! But their Raisin Bran really IS / WAS better! Smaller flakes, more and juicier raisins? I was brainwashed!
I honestly wish that Sugar Chex would make a comeback, as well as having Multi-Grain, Oat, Wheat, Corn, Rice, Bran, Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry Chex all be around again.

@@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase Today Bullies don't buy AJs, they enter the stores with bags and just loot the whole store, while the cops are being told to stand down or someone may get hurt. Plus the stores have insurance and will take the lost and pass it on to the consumer.🫵😖
The days when sugar never tasted so good! Boy did these work on me and my brother Karl. My poor mom, how she had to combat all these great ads when taking us to Pathmark and all those other Wayne, New Jersey super markets.
Come to think of it, my brother, Karl, and I would see our dentist at least two times a year for fillings! And that's regardless of our mom making us brush every night. Another thing about those 70's dentist offices ... remember those "little sink spit holes?" I asked my dentist what ever happened to them and he said they went out in the early 80's after it was determined they were essentially germ factories. Oddly, I miss them. Hate those sucking things they use in today's dental office.
Wonder if there are any left. Ours in Wayne, New Jersey was probably the best super market in said town. Big Isles, flower area, super cool deli, and much more. I had a dream I was in one of the isles the other night. How weird. Oh yeah, our Pathmark was in the same parking lot as The Wayne Hills Mall; one of the first malls in the U.S.A. to my understanding. At least that's the legend.
Marcus Johnson Beep Beep never made it to market. They just did the rough storyboard. Had it been issued, Freleng or Jones would have done the high quality animation.
I was so surprised to see the So-Hi Rice Krinkles Ricshaw racer commercial! I remember playing with that on our kitchen table for hours while my mom made dinner! Thanks for rounding all of these fantastic memories for us! Just goes to show that it's the little things that you remember and bring you joy. Now excuse me, I have to go find my Trix whistle with the magnifying glass and my Mary Poppins Bert the Chimney sweep pop-up toy! It's good to be a kid again for a little bit!
Funny the little things you remember as a kid! My favorites were Capt. Crunch's Dive & Surfacing Sub and a Flintstone's rubber band powered paddle-boat! Then Disaster... Burger King was offering a free toy with kid's meals. (Sorta a slingshot mini flying disc.) Somehow... I found it to be the one used on The Herculoids! And My mother 'forgot' to ask for one when she brought me home BK that week! Didn't even want the meal after that!
Remember Shur Fine products? There used to be a store near us that sold them. I looked it up and there's still Shur Fine products in stores across the USA, but none around our state.
@@thrashpondopons2776 Hope you kept some in its original packaging, was at a vintage Toy auction awhile back in Ohio and a pair sold for $1,180 these 5 guys just went at it the Flintstone rubber band powered boat, Unopened in their original package with a Mint empty 1975 Fruity Pebbles Cereal Box with the Free Prize isted in the back
Who else remembers Saturday morning cartoons with Topcat, Mighty mouse, Quickdraw McGraw, the Jetsons, Beanie and Cecil, Yogi Bear, Snaggle Puss, Heckle and Jeckle, Johhny Quest, Pixie and Dixie?
9:29 Frosty-O's are still around... Big G finally renamed them what they really were all along: Frosted Cheerios. :D Big G little O means Go, Go, Go! But watch where you're going! ;) 23:03. A genuine gem: the complete original animation and song for Kellogg's Rice Krispies. About time they brought it back. :)
That Cap'n Crunch cereal at 10:00 looks like it was produced by Jay Ward (best known for Rocky & Bullwinkle) and the Cap'n sounds like he was voiced by Jim Backus, who voiced Mr. Magoo.
Lol! In today's society that word SUGAR!! Will scare health nuts crazy!!! Pajamas bowl of cereal and a T V set on Saturday morning. Mom and dad still sleep!!! The best time of the week!! Today's kids are getting a rawl deal on Sat. Morning.... MEMORIES!
When you wrote about sugar, it reminded me that cereal companies over the past couple of decades have been big on using the term "honey" as the sweetener . . . and no longer use the term "sugar" as the grain sweetener . . . though I wonder how much "honey" is actually applied to cereals? Maybe a drop?
Simon BarSinister! my favorite from Underdog. I loved Quisp and Count Chocula cereal also. Many of these brands are no longer made or have been reformulated and renamed. It was nice to see Ruff and Ready too.
I remember those , I forgot about 'em. I remember my mom didn't buy them anymore , some reason they always attracted ants(probably because of the sugar)
These vintage commercials bring back great Saturday morning memories! Particularly the original Kellogg's Apple Jack's Cereal commercial from the mid-1960s that featured the voice of Paul Frees of the Talking Apple. Yes, these were the very best of times, a lot better than we have now! This was the Golden Age of Cereal Commercials!!
When I was a kid, I always thought my parents were mean and cruel to my brothers and I because they insisted on us eating oatmeal, cream of wheat, pancakes, eggs, bacon, hash browns instead of all these super processed sugar cereals. In the long run, I’m glad.
That's what we used to have except for Cream of Wheat. We got cereal on Saturdays but it was mostly Raisin Bran or Cheerios or Corn Flakes or Rice Krispies with bananas.
I would have loved to have had my mother make pancakes and eggs and bacon and hash browns for me for breakfast growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. 😭 as much as I understand eating cereal on weekends occasionally as a treat, nothing beats a real breakfast!
beep beep looks like it didnt get far out of storyboarding... considering the other looney tunes commercials were fully animated, i wonder what happened.
Anyone remember the animal cutouts on the bottom ( shirt) cardboard on the mini cereal 6 pack ( Post? ). You use an empty mini box for its body, after peeling off the wax paper label? My first was the giraffe( thinner box used) I have a B&W picture of it. Had Rhino & Elephant ( wider boxes ) Made the hippo ( on its rear haunches) Wider box sat on an angle. Sighhhhh! Good Memz!!! CB
Pink panther flakes and Quake Quangaroos! Quangaroos were not good, Quake was better (liked it more than Quisp which i have seen at grocery outlet over the years). Now I want Froot Loops! And never heard of "Beep beep" cereal, maybe it was only sold in some localities, or as others said, just some preliminary work and were never made.
AS A KID POURING MILK INTO THOSE KELLOGGS MINI CEREAL BOXES WITH A WAX PAPER LINER WAS SO MUCH FUN. NOW THIS CHEAP COMPANY DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THOSE LINERS ANY LONGER I GUESS TO SAVE 2 CENTS ON EVERY BOX...HOW UTTERLY CHEAP AND SAD!!!
spidyr2k: Yep. Did you notice that Quisp was about to disintegrate Quake with his ray gun? For goodness sake, those guys were even on the same side, sort of!
Many of these, I saw new, as a child. I liked the taste of Alphabet cereal, Captain Crunch, count chocula, crispy critters, and fruity pebbles. I tried them all back then. Captain Crunch had its own unique flavor. We would sometimes get those little boxes of cereal, too. Froot Loops smelled divine from inside the box, but I didn't care for the flavor. I liked the 2 Cheerios cartoon kids back then. Sugar Crisp bear talked like Bing Crosby. Sometimes that cereal stuck together in clumps. Never liked Apple Jacks or Cocoa Puffs. Frosted Flakes was good from the box, but milk took the sugar coating off. King Vitamin tasted like Captain Crunch but had too much sugar in it, tasted too sweet.
About the only sugar-laden cereal I recall in my youth was the occasional box of "Trix," or "Sugar Frosted Flakes" my parents would buy. But generally, it was: "Corn Flakes," "Rice Crispies," "Special K," the various "Chex" cereals, "Cheerios," and "Cream of Wheat." But, the sugar bowl on the kitchen table availed itself to fortify those cereals with sprinkling sugar on top.
You won't see "Sugar" Pops, Crisp, Checks, Flakes, anything these days. Took out the word but left the sugar in the cereal because Sugar was a bad thing? If it doesn't say sugar, then there must not be any sugar in it. Crazy man...crazy.
That was sweet. Those kids are scared of the ghostly trio . But they put their trust on Casper it’s like they only see him as a angel instead of a regular ghost.
The ad with Charlie Brown telling the darked kid how to get more energy, today it would be the other way around, the black kid would be the one who's the wiser, and telling Charlie Brown how to get more energy. I never see any kind tv commercial where the white guy is the smarter one, when they have a black and a white guy. The actually will make the white guy look stupid, just to make the black guy look better. I'm not the first to notice this, been going on for while now. I say, they need to stop making tv ads that make anyone look dumb in order to sell their product.
As 1 from '72, I've had most of these cereals although the commercials have evolved over the decades. Tony the Tiger, Sonny from Cocoa Pops, Sugar Bear, Toucan Sam to name a few were featured in my time as well. The post treat boxes were cool too. Thanks Fred. My fun generation could never be so w/o yours beforehand. Oh yeah, I still eat such cereals too when I can get them🥣🥛.
