Crocodile Mile

[NeonToeNails]

This was so freaking fun. We would get this out and play it as much as possible. My dad would get so aggravated because it would ruin the yard.

[77decepticon]

There was always that one rock that jacked everyone up and mo one ever could fin it

[ashleyf69er]

i had one of thees and the 1st turn i had i broke my arm lol shame on me

[paragon215]

this thing was awsome

[cgsilverscreen2020]

OH MY GOD!!! I forgot about this for years and this vid brought me instant nostalgia! I begged my parents for this back in the day but they said I'd get tired of it quick. Oh well. XD

[1488slav]

did the american voice actor trying to fake an aussie accent actually create more sales of this shit ?

[sonaliegh]

My neighbor had one of these and her dumb ass laid it down on grass covered in rocks. You can imagine the pain we all suffered sliding across it. I still have scars.

[Ciberya]

What do you do when you see a crocodile? Ponder what a crocodile is doing in america =)

[lalangprod]

CTFxC FTW!!! watched this segment from the CTFxC! Day 799

[RodStewartfan1]

I HAD THIS!! i miss it! It got holes in it so we had to throw it away! I miss slip n slides! :(

[Leatherbubba]

Who cares if it turns your backyard into a mud pit? It's Crocodile Mile!!!

[mvd619]

Um....at 17 seconds....does that girls top fall off??

[moarchzplz]

aussie guy: "hey mate, what do you do when YOU see a crocodile?" *well, Aussie guy, since you ask.. I run.. And I slide.. Right into his face. It's OBVIOUSLY the most sensible thing to do in that type of situation.

[ImmortalfireTheMod]

The one time I ran, slid and took a dive on this thing, it hurt like hell. I think it was just so ungodly hot that day, the slide wasn't able to stay slick and cool :(

[sumotaby]

:*( This thing was not a mile long. 

[drewsky684]

You run, you slide...off into the grass and get itchy as FUCK

[lsl70]

What do you do when you see a crocodile? You run and you slide right into it's mouth. Sounds reasonable.

[MrStick0529]

Had one of these LOVED it as a kid

[Booksareepic]

You run you dive you hit the nails and then you DIE.

[TheRockOffs]

You run, you slide, you hit the bump and break YOUR RIBS! YAY!!!! From BLAMO!

[XiaochiCat]

Damn Garden Sprinckler! ><

[chrisz71]

I've still got a scar from rocks in the back yard after sliding on the blue thing. Hurt like hell. Apparently this was filmed on a perfect lawn.

[pink1222]

I wanna go baaaack!!!!

[EchoBoomer1987]

God, I fucking miss the 90's so bad.

[unkeystout]

I was just watching a home movie from 1988, and noticed this commercial was on the tv in the backround...thanks for posting!

[charger619c]

I love these slip n' bleed from the anus slides

[ScubaSteveM45]

You run, you slide, you take a dump-and then you die!

[1Fedex]

omg that brought a painfull memory back...i gotten 21 stitches from that "thing!" its skin-splitting fun!

[Fiddlemaster56]

I love @0:12 you can tell the kids are going so fast they fly over the pool when they hit the bump. It happened EVERY time if you were sliding too fast.

[jhwink]

Anything involving a crocodile has to have an Australian accent.

[pppowerbook]

@jhwink Or a Cajun one.

[MacDragard]

What happened to the version where the crocodile was actually in the pool you land in?  After seeing the commercial and actually getting this, I put the plastic crocodile thing (supposed to be a sprinkler I think) in the little pool just to imitate the commercial.

[jdivergh22]

@MacDragard i had the version without what i thought at the time was "the cool tunnel" and mine had a little plastic crocodile sheet to put in the pool to look like the croc was looking up at u or something. lol but most of the time we took it out as it was a pain

[twannifufu]

Can you believe we're all adults now!? I miss being a kid of the '90s

[coyote374]

I am in my 30's and I love thsese old commercials. Also because of them I still want some of these things. Wh cares about growing up?

[astronoman11]

you run, you dive, you bust yo ass, and then you cryyyyyyyyy!

[ranthony023]

@astronoman11 I kno i did

[y05077]

woah awesome!

[TurtleDove81]

You Run! You trip! You break your jaw and cry like a bitch"

[YogaFlame24]

lol hakan

[Psylonz]

You run! You Slip! You hit a nail, and hear a rip!

[Wakeupsleepyhead1984]

you slip, you slide.. you hit the bum and TAKE A DIIIIIVE yaaaaaaaaa

[KINGDICK4LIFE]

LMAO Old School! Nice

[gaoutlaw]

"Hey mate, whatya do when you see a CROCODILE?!!"

I run the f**k away.

[SalasSnake]

...Is the announcer for this commercial Cam Clarke aka Leonardo aka Liquid Snake?

[MKD825]

I didn't have one of these, but I had a Slip 'N Splash which was basically a Slip 'N Slide with a kiddie pool tacked on to the end. We used it maybe twice before my dog chewed up the part where you hook it to the hose, and did I ever cry that morning.

[RageTreb]

Wait, when you see a crocodile the first thing you do is dive for its open mouth?

[XChupacabras]

What do you do when you see a WHYSONG????

YOU RUN!

YOU HIDE!

IF YOU GET CAUGHT, SUICIDE!!!!

[jdivergh22]

lol i had this except we had the version without the tunnel...always wanted the tunnel one but it was too expensive...but i would either not make it to the end of the pool, or would actually go out past the pool and into the grass lol...got hurt a lot but it was hella fun lol:)

[skaz21]

My friends and I used to sing this commercial, only we sang it like : "You run, you slide, you hit the bump and take a DUMP!"

HA! I miss being a kid.

[SalasSnake]

"You run! You slide!! You break your neck and prob'bly die!!"

We sung that song since at the time, there were lots of injuries reported with slip n slide and various slide type toys.

[nectarguru]

I always loved the determination on that kid's face at :21

[OonaCanute]

Haha, I totally remember this commercial.

[JacKn1feSugarTrucK]

I never made it to the boomerang bump without taking out the poles that held up the croc curtain.

[eldestsucubus]

what the fuck

[JustMyles]

Thanks! This video helped settle a bet.

[Disappearer88]

oh man it feels like it was just yesterday that i was seeing this on tv

[SchwarzeWitwe2]

I know! I even had one.

[bleech1]

Ertl Sucks

[jhwink]

This was not by Ertl it was by Marchon

[phonebook45]

wouldnt it be fun if there really was a croc on the other side.

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

Or a stingray. Or is it still too soon?

[phonebook45]

just a little bit too soon

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

Okay, but when is it okay? It's just what I thought when I heard a Steve Irwin-like voiceover advertising this slide.

[Nastc1]

LMAO!!!!! I remember seeing this commercial so much when I was little.

[744682532]

I saw this commercial and the one for Squeeze Its all the time when I was a kid.

[sideslide23]

You Rock, You Slide, you hit the Crocodile lol

[MartekTheSuperhero]

I loved this thing until I tried to mimic the kids in the commercials and I took a nose dive into the "Pool" which wa sa few inches deep and really didn't like the feeling as I knocked myself out cold lol

[Disappearer88]

hahaha

[missingnoo]

Using this thing all summer long on the same patch of grass would leave an imprint of dead grass on the back and front lawns. My mom kicked my ass for it.

[combatsambonyc]

You run, you slide, hit the bump and take a diiive..

[Tatsumachine50K]

gotta have the Australian accent for anything crocodile related right?

[DLoc0]

O' COURSE MATE !

[Chris82bc]

I had this when I was a kid. I never came close to getting injured on it. I even attempted to stand up and hydroplane with my feet. I fell a bunch of times, but I guess I always knew how to roll properly. The most disappointing aspect of Crocodile Mile was the crocodile prop. It fell over every single time we would go through it. Eventually we took it down completely because it was annoying to fix it after each run.

[KikiKiti]

I would love to see one of those kids dive headfirst into a real crocodile's mouth XP

lololol

Misleading commercials

[219299821]

lmao..some funny ass comments on this .. .. This is the most dangerous toy.. you can actually see the kids busting their ass in the commercial...Did that one guy say he broke a rib??

[nolanvoid25]

Crikey! Watch out for the stingray barb in your chest!

Lol too soon...

[rondomand]

it worked awesome as but u had to put it on SOFT grass and use dishwashing liquid to make it really slippery ;)

[sweetcupcake34]

omg that sounds awsome, i remember my friends and i would slide on our butts, on my feet, we used touse a board,

[ks700r81]

Nothing like tearing your ass up on small rocks underneath it.

[pattyk77]

never worked like that, you'd f... your chest up from the hard ground and stop before you hit the pool, your arms would reach the pool at best. Very disapointing. We turned the sprinklers on instead.

[sweetcupcake34]

same here there were times wen i wouldn't make it to the pool lol

[SwirlyJune]

bwahahah.... YEah, that little raft kept you from snagging your elbows on the metal hooks that nailed it to the ground...

[ctsommers]

Fond memories of childhood Injuries broke a rib on that thing and it took care of my brothers index finger.  With a nice break.

[Dyakki]

You run, you slide, you hit the bump, and then you DIE~!

[vivachilegringito]

@Dyakki This is so true! We had some friends who had one and what always happens? You lose the tie and then you have to keep the water in with something else that is nearby... Normally a brick or cinder block, and it basically meant an inevitable accident. So much fun, but like everything, actually pretty dangerous.

Imagine it as adults with a few beers... Hahaha...

[RichardFear45]

I remember back in the day these tweakers lived across the way and used to fuck with that thing all day long...Fucking funny ass shit.....

[OpCzar]

OMG, I remember it now...

[86pacer]

You run, you slide, you hit your balls and then you die.

[Hauntedman1]

@86pacer lmao!

[86pacer]

@Hauntedman1

One of my friends got one when we where like 10 years old in the late '80s. Whenever we saw the commercial on TV we would change the lyrics to "You run, you slide, you hit your balls and then you die"

This waterslide is actually dangerous. We found out that if you don't clear the grass of any hard objects like rocks or toys before you put the slide down you can hurt yourself as you slide shirtless across this thing or land on the pool side of it.

[TheDoug79]

I remember wanting one of these. Looking back, it looks like a spinal cord injury just waiting to happen.

[xxFighterxAngel]

I had one of these

my parents were not prudes

[NeonToeNails]

This was the best toy EVER we used to play on it for hours but at the end of the day you had grass sticking to you but it was worth it.  It made divets in the ground my dad didn't like that too much either still a great toy though and catchy commercial the 90s were awesome!

[idaltuguy]

Yeah, my parents would never let me get one either. I wanted it for the "Splesh Dowun Poowel." Strangely they thought you'd bruise your chest in the pool when you landed. Um....yeah....the slip and slide was much safer right??

[Mickfly718]

we never filled the bump all the way, so we just hit nothing and stopped

[minutte23]

LOL

[HiMyNameIsAsh]

I had one of these, my dad never let me put up the croc flag thing though, he said it was a waste of time lol.

[gopher646]

haha, my parents said the same thing.

[wrathofjade]

totally had this and slipped off before I got to the end. Hit a stray tree branch and scared the hell out of my leg. Still got the marks. never used it again after that.

[cutelovelylisa]

haha I never got one of these. my parents were no fun!!! they didn't like what it did to their grass.

[rigell04]

awesome :) thanks for posting

[fonyx]

the American voice actors' attempt at an Australian accent is torture to my ears

[CsalbertCs]

So your supposed to run, then slide right into the crocodiles belly? Sounds fun.

[dena81]

No. You run, you slide, you hit the bump, and take a dive right into the crocodile's belly duh.

[auhfstation]

you run, you slide, you bruise your ribs and get grass cuts all over. ah, those carefree summers of youth!

[Mobee211]

LMAO how about when the slide wasn't wet enough and you got "dry slip and slide burn' and cuts all over your legs? hahaa

[Ambri121314]

Amen. As much as I like my childhood toys and TV shows and foods and whatnot, there are some things that just aren't worth getting back in adulthood.

[curlytoes79]

What a great toy. What else could convince kids to do a belly flop right on the ground...yow

[hippiegirl78]

god i wanted this so bad but it was expensive ... i still want it.. all i had was a bannana slide lol.. no bumps

[djmixmac]

I had this, if you add dishwashing soap, you go super fast! and you go so fast that you over jump the pool and end up over it!

[whiteypetals]

Ahhh, I do recall this toy. Awesome. Here in Florida, this toy is still used....but people use ANY and everything they can to make a homemade one. LOL

[scarabaeidae]

Holy shit, that's Cam Clarke doing the narration! I never realized that as a kid. Dude voiced Leonardo in the old school Turtles cartoon, amongst other things.

[djmixmac]

OMG its Liquid Snake! I knew he had other endeavors than being in FOXHOUND!

[Phandral]

Terrorism is expensive! You gotta take care of the bottom line somehow!

[kdar1]

What do you do if you see a croc? You run and slide at it? I'm just not sure we're sending the right message.

[beepmotherfuckerbeep]

Oh my god it was "ramp"! I knew this was wrong!

[ajacy]

In america it was "you hit the ramp and take a dive"

trust me, i still sing it in my sleep.

[troubleshooterg23]

Yes, I thought it was different. I remember Ramp.

[MKD825]

Nah, I'm a little older and I definitely remember it was "bump". I'm guessing they later changed it to the friendlier sounding "ramp".

What I didn't remember is how jacked up the dude got at 0:15.

[cdthedrummer]

slip and bleeeeeeed from the anus is what it should be called (ty dc)

[someone1489]

oh the rocks and grass the dirty water and the blood.

to be 5 again...

[drumwolf22]

Maaan the kid at 0:14 flips like crazy..dunno what he was trying to do, but I don't think you get enough air to do a frontflip..

[Hookstra]

Going past the splash pool isn't too fun.

[dbhaley]

I can't fathom how many injuries this contraption caused.

[Kyuubiness]

Ow.

[uxbnkuribo]

ever get on a slip and slide that went dry? ouch...

[80shair]

and then your nipples burn for the rest of the day..

[tubeoh]

That's probably what got Steve Irwin started.

[CharlesWayneBundy]

I can't believe how unsafe we all were as kids. They'd never come up with something as unbelievably awesome as this nowadays

[UrsaMirror]

I always thought it was "YOU RUN, YOU SLIDE, YOU HIT THE BUMP, AND THEN YOU DIE!"

[tubeoh]

LOL!

[UGAmandy]

Was I the only one who noticed the black boy seemingly do some crazy flip as he went over this "bump"?

[hell0navi]

Haha. First time he seemed like did some crazy cool flip move. Immediately he went again and it seemed like he got MESSED up attempting to do the crazy flip. Watch how his body twists and gets all mangled as he's going over the bump..

[ljonesvc]

My brother forced me to run and slide on it when it was bone-dry.

Even though my abdomen and left thigh seeped blood to varying degrees for two days, it was better than the alternative.

[SudoJim]

I shudder to think what the 'alternative' was.

[lenza81]

lo voglio......

[kristin186]

Hahahaha! My cousin used to have one of these and I remember there was a rock underneath it and he hurt his butt, lol. You gotta watch out for the sprinkler heads too. heehee

[mjett912]

That was AWESOME! I use to haveone of those.

[WorldChallenge]

I don't remember the Aussie commercial, only the currently incomplete American commercial.

[MadeNupe]

freakin' awesome!

[srpositivo]

Wheee! Childhood nostalgia!

[whitelightwolf]

OMG! I remember this!!!!!! I used to have it!!!!! O_O

[NeutronDance]

you must've been rich
