  • I cannot stress how long I've been trying to track this show down! I had it on VHS as a kid, and had vivid memories of it. I searched for "the Fuzzles, the Fuzzly's, The Buzzles, the Muzzles" only when I searched for "Porcupine fires quills cartoon" did I find it! *Bookmark*!

  • Все таки я его нашел! Кландестино мля...

  • The secret of getting it all!

  • Comment removed

  • Created by Frank Fehmers (Co-produced and Based on an Idea by Gene Deitch)

  • outstanding i used to always alseep to that theme tune when i was 6 or 7, was a great cartoon, this and myst cities of gold.

  • XD Oh God, I remember seeing some of this WAY back in the day.

  • OMFG!!!! OMFG!!!! I feel like I'm 4 again!!!! I remember this fucking show!!! And Foofur!!!! All the dogs running from the dog catcher so they dont go to the "pound" I see now it's a metaphor..... Cause JAIL SUCKS!!! Thanks Unlce Foofur! XD

  • See, I don't think there ever really WAS a "Secret of Getting It All." I think the secret was a ruse concocted by Clandestino to keep the Bluffers distracted so that he can shift his focus on other things, while the Bluffers concern themselves with obtaining it. He fools everyone into thinking it exists, including his dog and Sillycone. In the end, the Bluffers themselves are the ones being bluffed, and there's the irony of the entire series.

  • @Ne0nLobster According to the show's creators, the "secret" was being greedy and selfish. The point was you'd get "it all" at the expense of alienating everyone and decimating the world.

  • @Ne0nLobster that so?

    I never saw the series as it's pretty obscure here in the US

  • Im watching a Video I have of the Bluffers right now lol

  • I remember waking my big brother up so he could turn the TV on for me (I didn't know how) so I could watch this at like 6am or something.

  • @scratich1 nice to know me n my bro wernt the only two that used to get up at 6.00am and raid the cuboards for those chocolate dips and get bring the quilts from the bed and watch denver, duns and dragons, myst cities of gold, bluffers and finish off with heman.

  • woohooo other people know what bluffers is :D

    i also got the video from a car boot sale, or garage sale (when i was like 5) freakin loved it

  • I remember this cartoon in the mid to early 90's... I bought a video from a Car Boot!

    I remember one episode about the Owl and Time or something, hopefully someone can fill me in.

  • Clandestinos secret is a copy of his head

    it be show in the episode where is going to build huge mirrorpark

  • Can anything defeat The Bluffers???

  • You know watching this makes me think of the the Woodland Critters from the South Park Christmas episode that were thought up by Cartman when reading his essay to the class.

  • used to love LOVE this but always missed it!

  • If Clandestino had the secret of "getting it all," why is he living in such a desolate wasteland?

  • Did they ever found out what the secret was?

    I remember wondering what it could be when i was a kid.

  • whatever did happen to Frank Fehmers?

  • Comment removed

  • guess this song was beautiful, it's sounded like a merry go round theme song, and waltz theme music

  • I always felt the lyrics to this intro had some very weird and deep meanings, one that I dont think many people ever really thought about. Or the message of the overall show, either.

  • I wonder why they used a globe with it's axis on the openigng titles? When they clearly didn't use an axis on the moon at the beginning.

  • Clandastino looks like a cross between Ganon from the CDi Zelda games for his evil ugly grin, Dr Robotnik from 'The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog' for his fat weight and his inventing ideas, and Cyral Sneer from 'The Raccoons' for the gold tooth and cigar in his mouth. It could be possible that he is the dutch father to Sgt Blob from 'The Dreamstone,' as this was drawn by the same animator.

  • @Cynthia149 The fatness, cigar and gold tooth thing is kind of the 80's trope for the "evil businessman" type. I do agree though, nice comparisons :3

  • @Cynthia149 also this theme music background, the bluffers sounded like these kinds of beautiful and most melodic songs cross between like on youtube. com/watch? v=jKZ_JInEzOQ

  • I finally found it.... hahaha- I finally FOUND it. xD This was an advertisement on another VHS I had as a kid, and for SOME insane reason, it stood out to me. But I NEVER got to see it. Now here I am, some 20 years later, thinking "Hey, I remember this random cartoon fox. And shiny glowy stuff. And then... I googled. And googled. ....And googled some more. Bwahahahahaa! Thank you internet gods! :D Now I can FINALLY rot my brain. :P

  • Theres No Better Pals That'll Make You Laugh Better Than These Bluffers

  • The show was so-so, though I enjoyed it. This opening, however, is one of the best I've ever seen. I love the characters flying towards the screen. The tune is catchy too, even if the lyrics are kind of...insulting.

  • i grow up watching this show. i wanna be a little kid again !

  • I remember this one too! altough i dont have any clue what kind of stories those were...

  • OMG I remember this cartoon! Gawd, good times.

  • I thought id made this up as a kid cos no one else had heard of it or seen it, prob cos it was on at 5am lol

    This rocks, cheers :-)

  • Very nice cartoon! But croatian translation was the best!

  • Comment removed

  • i'm not tripping stuff up!

  • hahaha me and my bro's used to get up at about 5 in the morning to watch this

  • es un poco exagerado esta cabecera espacial para una serie basada en la naturaleza y el poder.

    ¿alguien podia decirme si los bluffers derrotaron a clandestino al fin?

  • yeah the Secret of Getting it All,thats a pretty big secret. I watched this on tape as a kid,Me & My Brother watched it to make fun of it,We just hated this show & it became are inside joke. Ahh good memories.

  • Oh yes, rather than pay attention to the ecological and economical messages, you make fun of it. Typical

  • reminds me on my beautyful childhood...

  • Then you got to internet and your childhood was raped...

  • Tears in my eyes........

  • just watching this intro i think i turned gay,,,rofl

  • OMG! Been lookin for ths for YEARS! no one remembers it and all I could really remember was the theme tune (not the lyrics)! Whooo!

  • I feel you man. Exactly the same here.

    I nostalged so hard!!

  • AMAZING I can't believe I found this on here. I was convinced that me and my brother were the only people who ever watched this as everyone else gave us a perplexed look when we asked them if they remember the Bluffers!! Thanks so much for posting :) you rule!!

  • lol

    The secret of getting it all!!!!

  • xD I remember it because I had one of the tapes as a kid...

    ...then my mom trashed it because the VHS tape was evidently dying.

  • Maestro Frank Fehmers is the unsung hero of children's literature and cartoons - who else had the courage to launch Barbapappa, Dr Snuggles, Little Nicholas and this series? Also, a great raconteur and loyal godfather, though not in the Don Corleone sense ... long may he reign!

  • :) reminds me on childhood

  • I'm from Poland and I think i'm one of few people who have ever seen this cartoon because it was only on VHS's and i've got 4. by the way i've got a question: 1 how many episodes there is ?? 2 did they say what was THE SECRET??

  • There were 13 episodes, they never revealed the secret.

  • Um, yes i thought so but i wasn't sure... Thanks!

  • ja też to oglądałem, ale w języku serbskim ( jestem w polowie jugoslowianinem ), w dodatku 20 lat temu ( teraz mam 25 ), dzieki temu kto to zaladowal wspomnienia wróciły :) aż się łezka w oku zakręciła...szkoda, że teraz taki syf leci w tv, dobrze, że mnie nie karmili tymi calymi cartoon network etc

  • @alcores13 In Serbia this was showed on TV. No, secret was never revealed, but as grown up man it looks like that secret was capitalistic-imperialistic view of the world with mass exploatation.

  • wow it was by total accident that i found this, i have been humming this theme tune for years and never knew what it was from! one of my earliest memories watching this :-)

  • I think this was on channel 4 when it came to the uk. My niece would certainly like wtaching this nice cartoon

  • Yeah, it was played on 4. I used to love it as a kid XD

  • By coincidence, I have an episode, recorded from C4 on my account :)

  • My all time favorite cartoon...Shame they stopped running it when I was a kid!

  • I have an English episode on my account :D

  • i remember being about 8 watching this on TV in the morning be4 school and weekends totally focused on the theme tune lol best cartoon ever! also loved simon and the witch i used to fancy her lol

  • I have an episode on my account - recorded from our Channel Four.

    Yep, I'm a British kid who remembers it too ;)

  • wow, nice upload, haven't seen this in 20 years! really enjoyed it, the only thing that would get me out of bed at 7am on saturday mornings.

  • I have an episode on my account :D

  • I remember this!

  • I searched years for the last episodes coz I always wanted to know what the 'secret of getting it all' was! It ALWAYS pissed me off not knowing! then i googled this and read the comments to find there is no secret coz it was never made! What wankers would do that to us! GRRRRRR!!

  • ^^ The cunts in American TV stations who decided that this proggramme wasn't worthy of a new series.

    They decided that halfway through production, although they had to show them as they signed a contract to do so. They should have made a 14th episode wrapping the whole series up.

  • Wow. I just searched this on google because someone said it in a comment on another video.

    I forgot about this. I remember it now though. Funny how that works. You have no memory of something, then you see it and it all floods back again.

    Bring back the old cartoons!! They were sooooo much better than what's on now.

  • I have an episode on my account :D

  • what can i say it finally happened!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Trippy

  • The plot of the show was good (as were the opening and closing graphics and theme tune)

    But the animation and style of direction in the actual episodes wasn't brilliant!!!

    But I suppose that was to do with different cultural styles. Even though this show was made primarily for the US market, it was actually made in the Netherlands or Germany (can't remember which)

  • Oh come on, it only had one run at an obscure time.

  • As far as I remember - the last screening of it was in 1995. And the recording of that episode I have dates from 1992! I believe it made it's British debut in 1989.

  • @antifascotland shut it you daft twat. It was on about 6am Sunday morning

  • As someone said who made this was on acid or something. LOL

  • Clandestino still haunts me in my dreams! I dreamt of him chasing me the way he runs down the stairs, you know that fast walking style he had.

  • Lol! "Fast walking style"

  • I had completely forgotten about this until I saw a continuity announcer's slide for it in some Channel 4 continuity from 1992 - that I found on *dum dum duuuummmmm* BETAMAX!!!

  • omg i use to watch this when i was little yo whoever created the bluffers was acid tripping heavy lmao

  • I remember I had this on video when I was really little I never found out the dumb secret =( Dumb idiots they should have told us! *Throws shoe*

  • Because the series only ran to 13 episodes - the secret was never revealed as that episode was never made!!!

  • took me ages to find this, couldnt remember the name...

  • I never seen this show but the theme is kickass very catchy

  • It's very 80's :)

  • I loved the Bluffers as a kid! I remember that the intro was in my language (Icelandic), while the show itself was in English. Strange :o/

    Intro in Icelandic:

    Í Blöffalandi er beiskur vandi sem Blöffarnir berjast við,

    en Blöffar bara með brosi svara: "við breytum þessu brátt"....

    I can't remember more of it, anyone out there who knows the rest???????

  • The show actually wasn't English. It originated from The Netherlands/Holland.

  • Gah...Memories...exploding back...I DONT WANNA WEAR A DIAPER!

    Also I really want to know what the secret of getting it all was.

  • "Also I really want to know what the secret of getting it all was."

    It was never revealed. I'm guessing it was probably the best 5 year business plan in the UNIVERSE, which gives you a huge polluting castle, naturally.

  • naturally.

  • OMG When I was about five I used to have a video with one or two episodes of this! NOSTOLGIA! I've been haunted by this show for years trying to remember it...

  • Omg lol, I still have a video with 3 episodes of this on there!

  • my god that was a s*** cartoon! good nostalgia tho. thanks for the upload

  • Ha ha, I remember this! XD

  • Ho-ly-crap. It took me an age to find the name of this show. All I could remember about it was deforestation, a squirrel, that it was a bit dark and that I used to have to get up at like 6am to watch it. Now I can finally go to bed.

  • we are the same. i had almost gave up.

  • @ThePinkOracle Same story here. I saw it once on a video cassette from the video store then never again after that. I remembered the intro and some of the characters but that was it. It has been driving me nuts for years until I finally found the name somewhere on the internet and then found this video. Big load off my mind let me tell you.

  • I never finished all the episodes but its tattoed in my brain still

  • I actually love you. This tune has haunted me for literally a decade and not one person could help me.

    I can sleep again!!!

  • DAMN i thought i was the only one. FOR YEARS this song has haunted me and for YEARS i've been searching online for it, not to sure what the title was but with only a song in my head. HileTroy - i salute you.

  • I'm so glad I found this! No one else remembers this and thinks I'm making it up!

  • i may be sad but keep coming back here to watch that lol

  • same here. the memories combined with the music > combined with a FULL ENGLISH EPISODE I have found on Betamax video.

  • Hi Bluffers fans! Bit of self promotion here.

    I've just uploaded a song from the show (in English). And the ending credits with the full theme song is to come. Thanks to Derkettenhund for the source for both. If you can understand German watch the whole ep he uploaded!

  • OMG OMG OMG i havent seen this in years how i miss the bkuffers

  • Omg...I can't believe anyone remembers this movie! I can't find anyone in real life who does, though...I saw it when I was about 7, and that was like...13 years ago. Yeesh. lol I can't find any English vids of this but this intro, and that stinks. I'm trying to get in touch with my inner child. :-P

  • You think this intro is annoying? I actually like it very much.

  • Nah, just the song.

    It's legendary in a nostalgic sense though. I find many things I like annoying :P

  • I meant the song too. I actually like it.

  • I meant the song too. I actually like it.

  • i have this episode on tape!!!

  • Can Someone tell me where i can watch this Cartoon Episodes or can someone put some on the Youtube

    i am 15 years old & i still Like this Cartoon

    GO BLUFFERS

  • I'm 20, haha.

    I also would like to watch some eps, haven't seen them for years, I can only supply the intro I'm afraid.

  • do know what is that robot name in the 0:26 to 0:30

  • "Mr Sillycone"(?).... If memory serves right, I'm sure that was his name in the English version anyway.

  • Yes that is his name in English version but Finland Version his Name is Silikooni.

  • Do you know what is the Clandestinos Secret if you remember can you tell me. :):):):):)

  • no-one remembers clandestino's secret - it was never revealed - as that episode was never broadcast - as that episode was never even made!!!

    It only ran to 13 episodes.

    BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!

  • ive spent weeks trying to find out what this cartoon was cAalled, posting on various site.

  • This cartoon was the beeeeesttttt

    haha, i just remember the big fat guy having some awesome car lol

    ive got the entire season on VHS somewhere...

  • why not upload an episode? I'd love to see a full episode. :P

  • haha yeah, they're all in swedish tho :P

  • lol, ok, point taken ;)

  • Fantastic show. I own two epiodes on a WHS and my ex-pal had one episode recorded.

  • I second that!

  • wow i loved watching the bluffesr when i was a kid graet show and brill theme tune

  • oh my god, i totally forgot about this one!

    man, this brings back a lot of memories.

    thanks für sharing!

  • this was a great show! it brings back memories lol!

  • I remember that brick that could duplicate itself and turn into a road. Man, this takes me back

  • fuckin hell i remember this from years ago.

  • I remember this, it was so weird, it had to be the most depressing cartoon ever.

  • oooooooooooooooooh

    i was watching this in croatia, that was so great

    i am still obsessed by the song....

  • *melting* *schmelz*

    One of my countless childhood TV cartoons :D

    This intro brings back memories!!!

  • the dutch version is better

  • Hi! This was one of my favorite cartoons during my childhood. It was very well syncronised on serbo-croatian and it was an awsome show. It brings a lot of memories

  • did they find out wat that man secret was or did they not make that episode?

    just wondering

  • I'm not sure. According to wiki the actual power that it possesses is never found out, but I'm not sure whether they managed to get it in the end or not.

  • no-one is sure - that episode was never made!!!

  • i seen it on tv i loved this program it was wiked

    am from the uk

  • We must be the only 2 people from the UK who remember this!!

    I remember then showing it on Channel 4 in the early 1990s.

  • im from uk and i remember it got a vhs with a couple of episides on

  • I managed to snag a copy of this from Ebay. To this day, it has yet to be put on DVD. BTW, the "secret of getting it all" was never revealed.

    Hmm...that opening scene with the outer space bits...I wonder if Gene Deitch (the show's creator) had been watching the Raccoons TV specials (the Xmas Raccoons, Raccoons on Ice, the Raccoons and the Lost Star).

  • Can somebody remember what Clandestinos Secret really was? I mean: what did he hide behind the seven doors? Or has this question never been answered?

  • it was a great show. the song is if you like it or not a very good written song

  • god damn,memories remains

  • I used to love to rent this at the video store when I was younger over and over again.I also remember watching this when my two other siblings were homesick with me.Ahhh,memories.

  • aww this show was classic! used to love this. no one else i know ever remembered the bluffers! grrrr

  • OMG! I remember... by seeing this intro!

    Thank you upload this Hile Troy!

  • It's ok and yes hardly anyone does remember it it seems. if I still had my old vid I'd try to upload a couple of eps in portions somehow. But don't get your hopes up guys, as I think that video is long gone :/

  • Best I have are some episodes I might've copied to a DVD in my collection. In the US, the show only ever got released on VHS in the late 80's/early 90's and was never seen on TV.

  • I think the reason why it wasn't remembered very well in the UK was that it was shown on Sunday mornings . . . .at about 6am . . . .on Channel 4 - as opposed to a weekday afternoon at about 4pm-ish on Children's BBC or Children's ITV.

    Had it been shown in that slot then I think it would be much better remembered in the UK :)

  • love this!

  • oh bluffers, i remember the one cartoon with a road of bricks and some cars...

  • Hell yeah, that episode with the Genetically Modified Bricks was a classic.

  • Thats so cool! I love it. The last time that I see The Bluffers i was 7 years old. Can somebody help me to find the Bluffer-DVD?

  • i have found it after years of searching and not knowing what it is called. i swear i am the only person to ever have watched this, well, me, the guy below from germany and some other people!

  • :(!

  • And how wonderous it is that poofs like you can't put together an intelligent sentence because you did'nt allow this show to speak to that cell of clustured, gay shit you call a mind

  • wow...ive found it..i am the only guy in germany who knows the bluffers...i swear nobody knows them here...

  • Think again Bob, I do xP

  • @seinschraeg .. Hey! I'm from Germany ... and i know them :D... "...Your head is full of steam, to turn the world around ..." Viele Grüße :)

  • Hey schuetteldeinhaar...ja genau...full of steam...:).woher bist du und wie alt?? kennst du auch och hong kong pfui??? oder archibald der weltraumbummmler..oder die bobobobs, die mit ihrem segelschiff durchs weltall fuhren???

  • All my sunday mornings back at once.

    Brilliant!

    "you're bound to suffer it seams"

    ?!

  • the worst cartoon ever. i hated them for their secret environment-message.

  • Fair enough dude. It's one of the reasons I thought it was a good cartoon, you know, there's 2 routes, waterered down programmes like those kiddie dramas or silly comedy sort of cartoons (fairly oddparents etc), or ones like this/The Raccoons/farthing wood, I preferred the latter then and prefer it now hence why I shared this thing, but we're all entitled to our opinions :)

  • I remember this ! I watched a few episodes.

  • omg this is amazing!

  • I hope it will stay on youtube.

    It hasbeen removed before.

    Thanks for sharing.

    TOP

  • Its immature flaggers that probably help remove it.

  • What do you mean??

  • Some videos on youtube are flagged without reason by people who just want to make others mad then the videos are usually taken down.

  • I loved bluffers!!!! :D thankyou for putting this up!!!!
