[han777777]

mr .owl, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop

mr.owl: OVER 9000!!!

[marc726]

uh 1 uh 2 uh3

[SteveCarras]

This is actually 1 minute long as made in 1969. It's [type it in!] "Mr.Cow", and you have the cow, voiced by Frank Nelson, the guy who'd always say "Eyessss" as a service guy on oldtime radio and television sitcoms, then a [apparently blind, or pretending to with his species craftiness] fox, voiced a la Peter Lorre by famed voice actor Paul Frees [think Ren of Nickelodeon's "..and Stimpy"!], THEN the turtle [announcer Ralph James, Ork of Mork & Mindy], THEN the owl, voiced by PAUL WINCHELL..

[roflcoptersoysoy]

Does the video last only 6 seconds for anyone else, or is it just me?

[themaritimeman]

It only lasted 6 for me, too! It's supposed to be 36 seconds.

[Wh0ahDreamBig]

it lasted 6 seconds for me to

[cheezpuffz650]

dude, i was like 5 when i saw this. i used to get tongue cramps from trying to get to the center.

[joeyrsl]

i loved this commercial. i think i was around 5 years old. everytime, i thought it'd be different, that the owl wouldn't take a bite, that we'd really find out the truth. but.. nope.

[DrLove0378]

by the way, it takes 420 licks.

[FFKonoko]

420, the number significant to the pot smoking community.

[ewthmatth]

Oh, Captain Obvious, we thought you'd never come!! ;P

[paradiseleehorsley]

I remember this commercial airing during Captain Kangaroo in 1979. One my few memories of the 1970s

[ambaseball619]

L love this it was made in the 70s

[sgk1967]

I remember this commercial. I think its from the 1970s.

[hippiekyd416]

I love this commercial.

[sailorsakura123]

The boy is butt-naked o-o

[goingwithzed]

I always thought Mr Turtle was a huge loser. Didn't have an answer but boy he knew how to pass the buck. Fuck Turtles!

[TastyTumors]

HOW. FUCKING. DARE YOU?!?!?!? Turtles=the best animal ever. You see, a turtle doesn't need to answer to some loserass kid asking about some candy. No, a turtle's got some real shit to do son: Sleeping, pooping, hiding, walking a few inches. EXCELLENT!

[TLAGT]

Your mom never makes it without biting, too.

[TastyTumors]

Awesome.

[TLAGT]

That kid is fucked up in the head if he can talk to turtles and owls.

[LuluBearRox]

nobody really knows b/c it depends on how big ur lick is so the world WILL never really know!

[princestafford]

Just like the ''Tootsie rolle'' Commercial ,Last I saw this was 2003. What can I say. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Since the 70's to now I still get a kick out of this. I would start to bite in My Tootsie Pop as soon as it was soft enough. It was more challenging that way to Me.

[hunnysweets8D]

hahah it only took me 345 licks but i only licked away some;; i'm kinda relievd that there r other ppl who actually took the time to "find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop". now i don't feel like a complete dork!! lol (:

[mainedoggie]

The voice doing the owl sounds like one of the voices from the old Penolope Pitstop cartoon...

[Scorpion123Kid]

Haven't seen this since the early 90's. :)

[animebunny5]

Really? it took me 1526. and i licked away ALL the lollipop.

[MetaRLfunkyman123]

it took me 980 times.

[regresseur]

lol

[ChiLi1120]

you know y the owl does it in 3 licks? cause he is pissed. think about an owl is nocturnal and in comes this little shit asking about fucking candy in the middle of the day i woulda done the same thing

[RetroGirl85]

a one.. a two-hooo..threee lol

[cruse85]

Kid: Mr. Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center on the tootsie pop.

Mr. Owl: Let's find out. A one, a two, or three. *CRUNCH* 3.

0:22, lol.

[itsme123123hehe]

wait WHY THE FUCK IS THE BOY NAKED!?

[wolfkarel]

Those were the days my friends. And I believe this commercial came out around 1970-71.

Great memories. :-)

Now where is that video for the Banana Splits?

[SEAWEEDRAVEN]

The cut out the part where the kid screamed Mother "BLEEP" and threw down the pop and climbed the tree with a knife!

[Subduedgamer]

Dude, grow up.

[SEAWEEDRAVEN]

Well, I am 12.

[pinsetter1991]

that was actually pretty funny.

[xXxXSchreiXxXx]

...o rly? :D

[Pakam3]

seriously, what was the purpose of making the boy naked? would someone like to enlighten me?

[NTIGBCYTP]

a naked boy is asking various animals how many times he must lick a tootsie roll pop to get to the chocolate.

only on tv.

[CtrlAltDECIMATE]

Bitch stole my tootsie pop...

[eric9518]

im eating one right now

[randomism]

that son of a bitch ate his tootsie pop!

now aint that a bitch

[peelingfriend]

[Basketballgirl013]

I love this commercial! but i havent seen it in a while!

[petewentz54cena]

[Lianna826]

Aww, remember this.

[Pirate7X]

Hahahaaaa

'...every day I'm hustlin...tootsie pops (crunch!)'

One of the most basic, hilarious & effective commercials ever. How many of us bought pops trying to count the licks? Very clever.

[daboss8719]

that owl looks like rick ross to me

[purepie56]

i remember this one

[AwesomeAznGuy]

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!

[pretearking]

WHAT?! 9,000!!?

[dragonballz058]

[ThisIsHowWeLounge]

[jblover567]

TOOSTIE!!!!!!! JA!!!!!!

[intricate08]

Why is the kid naked though.

[Elcome100]

the world may never know!

lol

[franfrobbies]

Why is that little bitch naked? LOL

[pumbaWOW]

these commercials were the shit

[KingLashiec]

Finally... one that hasn't been cut up, edited, or butchered in some way.^^

[brendonian]

This is my all time favorite commercial. I know the punchline from seeing it hundreds of times, and I still laughed at it just now.

[twopoint0]

@crimsonblade: I got around 70, too when I tried.

[midnightalastor]

huhuhu! i always wondered how old this commercial is...

[GavnatronTarasattva]

I'm more interested in how many licks it takes to get my wife to orgasm.

[keykeyx10000]

omg, haha

[a10fjet]

he says two weird

[Borderjoy]

Mr Owl littered too. lol. I remember this commercial from when I was a kid. The way the owl's eyes open always cracked me up for some reason. lol!!

[stargazer21989]

I never noticed the owl's eyes opening, but now that you mention it I can't stop laughing =P

[damaband41]

wow he's like an android

[crimsonblade111]

i counted it 79 lick to get to the tootsie roll center of the tootsie pop...................

[TheStoicAgnostic]

the world may never know?

did the owl not just provide proof

it's 3

a talking owl dressed to impress with a high class accent like that

i have to trust him

[inlovewithi]

This commercial hasn't even crossed my mind in over 10 years, yet it's so familiar word for word. Classic. From what year is it?

[VoteGingrich]

If that Owl took my Tootsie Roll "Tootsie Pop", licked it three times then bit into it with the sole purpose of consuming it, I would give him a beating like he's never seen.

[Glyvxx]

And in todays politically correct times...PeTA would hunt you down.

Goddamn, this decade sucks.

[convictedashes]

This commercial debuted in 1970.

[HN22NL2]

CLASSIC!!

[CesMan83]

Man, Mr. Owl is so full of crap...it does not take three licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop!

[flybikes90]

i know thats bullshit, i cracked a tooth trying it on 2 licks

[BronchoKyle]

I would have shot that damn owl.

[33thatsme]

ive tried it before...i lost count at 945...lol

[soul1112]

I remember this commercial from like 2002,good memories

[Gl0veCompartment]

it was around a lot longer than 2002...at least 1991

[TServo2049]

The animation for this was done by Fred Wolf, who would later bring us "The Point", and even later, the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoon.

The animation does remind me of "The Point" a bit...

[zetasong]

great commercial......

[stiftler2k4]

ITS OVER 9000!!!!1! (licks)

[SpaQueenRocks]

[manicfan64]

how many licks DOES it take?

[musicxcraze]

greatest commercial EVER.

but wth is up with the naked kid?

[AdamLComic]

why is that kid walking with candy through the forest NAKED

[WorldChallenge]

They've removed Mr. Turtle these days. It's a real shame. Poor Mr. Turtle.

[isgoodno]

The owl looks just like the "Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute" owl from the same era (1970s).

BUT - did you notice that this naughty owl throw the tootsie roll pop wrapper on the ground ! SHAME SHAME

LOL

[stuvs]

Mr. Owl's a dick.

[wootninja2008]

[kikijio]

I've never had one before.. and I thought i could find out from the commercial BUT I WAS WROOOONG :(

[underground96]

[imjunipernow]

That's Jodie Foster's brother's voice, right? What the hell is his name???

[SteveCarras]

imjunipernow,sayeth:

"That's Jodie Foster's brother's voice, right? "

Yes.

"What the hell is his name???"

It's Buddy Foster.

[mikeygeneral]

[busby1959]

Perhaps it's a warm climate.

[BrenMan94]

[pretearking]

[HendrixGirl4270]

[SpankRamen]

I wanna kick that owls ass. Just answer the question, you feathered bastard. lol

[HurricaneBlu1]

[pleasureavalanche]

And how many people's teeth have fallen out from biting into a tootsie roll pop(let alone just licking one)? Huh, Mr. Owl?!! Huh? HUH???!!!(raises fist) Stupid bitch.

[adoriaawyse]

All this stuff takes me back to the good ole days!

[zorroazulapex]

I love this commercial; but why did the boy decide to ask a turtle first? *sigh* the world may never know....

[zorroazulapex]

nevermind that question, in the original he actually asks a cow first! (Mr. Cow ^^)

[firedj252]

[PipBoy9970]

Any Females that took over 1000 licks to get to the center needs to email me about another job! ;)

[dolphinluv2413]

That boy looks like Barney Rubble.

[mrmoore1970]

LOL! I used to think the same thing!

[ShadowStylez]

Classic!

[chris16447]

A group of college students did an experiment on this, they came up with an average of 252 licks.

[DoctorEvazan]

Yeah, I was turning the pop 90º each lick, so 252*4=1008 which is about 1000.

[FrozenPrism]

Really? I think I just came up with my next science fair project!

[KindRyu]

if he ate my pop i'd kick its ass

[reyguel]

My co-worker had a hat on today with the tootsie roll owl on it. I asked the same question and she said 1004 licks. Of course, I don't believe that. Has anybody actually tried that?

[DoctorEvazan]

I have... it took about a thousand

[reyguel]

Really? I guess she did actually and try it. How long did it take?

[imhuge]

Lolol!

[mexican613]

[ZigJackson5]

How many licks does it take to get to tha center of a tootsie pop? tha world may never know.....Tha good ol days OOOH BRING BACK ALL THA GOOD OLD DAYS-LEVERT

[takeira15]

i reale wonda

[MVillani1985]

I tried this when I was a kid, it takes 143 licks to get to the "tootsie roll" center of a tootsie pop.

[Dunes]

Oh yeah,how could one ever forget that classic commercial that used to air saturday mornings? Heh,those were the days,and sneaky owl there.

[MVillani1985]

Ok so how is it that a candy commercial turns into a political debate?

[princekev45]

Classic shit!

[faith1034]

man i love these old commercials they arae so cute

[purplepeopleater001]

I LOVE THIS

[diamone110]

im black and i dont see anything raicest about this comercial i see it as just a DRAWING and a cheaap way to make money obviously the drawing wasnt white or black cuz it wasnt colored in! and it wasnt even wearing clothes! the whole thing looked in complete!! but i still will never forget such a simple comercial!

[bluenotes1981]

How come the most innocent videos turn into racial debates? Only on youtube..gwah >_<

[MVillani1985]

Some people just look to pick a fight wherever they can.

[bob8410012]

BEST,

COMMERCIAL,

EVER

[Tazz77]

Does anyone know when this was first aired? I know it had to be in the 70s.

[GoulashFor10]

It originally aired in 1967. The voice of Mr. Owl is delivered by the late, great ventriliquist and voice specialist Paul Winchell.

[twisterbreaker12]

314 for me

[wentzabean]

People choose to be gay. Not every gay person was born gay.

[crockty]

No wentzabean, noone WANTS to be gay, that's a retarded theory. You don't CHOOSE to be gay, and why has this tootsie pop ad become a debate about gays?

[piggemz]

lolz, a'one, a'two, a'tleeheee,... a'tlee

[everlastingchill]

one of my fav commercials lol

[lilD1999]

lol 214 for me

[Krby84]

I dunno why this used to be one of my favorite commercials :/ I get it stuck in my head sometimes

[localdummiesguy]

if mary died who told the story.

[billtimore]

that turtle and owl are gay man. i never made it without biting one two ooooo oooooooooooooo three. gay ass animals

[OofusTwillip]

Homophobic remarks like that are the same as the N-word. Unacceptable under any circumstances.
