We beg for this kind of stuff ever Saturday morning back in the 70's after watching these commercials. They worked because we always got 'em. Every other weekend a different box of cereal. Now you feel guilty if you buy this crap for kids.
What a commercial this is. I am gonna put a picture of this cereal on my next video. Cap'n Crunch, my favorite cereal character...and I have never met the hippo with the Bullwinkle voice before until now.
NOBODY told Jay Ward how to produce his commercials- especially Quaker Oats, who trusted his judgment for over 20 years. If they told him to produce a commercial for a new cereal called "Cap'n Crunch's Punch Crunch", he'd come up with "Harry Hippo" (a lovable "big lummox", with Bill Scott's patented "Bullwinkle" voice), and the hell with innuendoes about his sexual preferences! He's selling cereal, not SEX! Alas, neither "Punch Crunch" or Harry really caught on...
Holy crap, that's one gay-ass commercial! I mean, he even pounce-humps the pirate at the end. A big pink hppo that likes to dance with sailors and get all cozy with the Cap'n... oy.
And the fact that he has the voice of Bullwinkle only makes it weirder.
I remember this cereal being contraversial because of the hippo and that a few grocery store chains refused to carry it because of Harry Hippo, but I was 5 or 6 at the time, never crossed my mind about the hippo's sexual orientation, to me it was just a cartoon ad. I remember that I tried it and really didn't care for it, it was too sweet for me.
No kidding. I guess you might think that, but only as a joke, like with Bert and Ernie.
Incidentally, the hippo had the same voice as Bullwinkle Moose. (There weren't any similar rumors about him and Rocky, were there? After all, they lived in the same house. ;)

I thought the hippo was going to say,"Punch Crunch makes me horny."
