Oopsy The Clown

[tucsonia]

When I was a kid we got to the Moon and it was naturally assumed that by, Oh, the year 2000 we would have gotten to Mars. Didn't happen. C'mon Americans! We throw ridiculous amounts of cash (or should I say debt) towards much less meaningful things. Let's just effin' do it.

[deejaybrick]

Thanks for this one man! Brings back some memories. Remember Mr. Pouch and Henrietta Peck on Oopsy's show. And Squiggly Wiggly Worm?

[socksumi]

One of the most miserable unfunny clowns ever.

[spidy05]

fake and gay

[Oldskool1025]

I use to watch oopsy every sunday morning. If you were a kid in the 60s and 70s it was a wonderful time to be a kid.

[Offthbadan]

I remember watching this on Sunday mornings around 8:30 or 9:00 back in the late '70's. Then watched Hot Fudge on Channel 7 wxyz. Abbott & Castello after that. Kids then had nothing to do but watch tv I guess?!

[DonnyEMU]

This wasn't OOPSY the Clown, I watched this sunday mornings.. It was TOPSY the Clown..

[gr8skpz]

@DonnyEMU dead wrong! OOPSIE, niga!

[NorbertZF]

Back then, I used to watch Bozo on Channel 4 but for some reason they weren't allowed to do Bozo anymore so he had to come up with the Oopsy clown. The other Bozo was on the old CKLW from Windsor and he had Mr. Caly-opie who played the piano for all the kids on the show. Why don't they put these shows back on at least once a month for all of us kids from the 1960's?

[MrPubua]

that robot is satan.

[youngstali]

he talks kinda like Master Shake

[42angelstar]

cute clown

[mcnowski]

25 years later and Oopsie still scares the fuck out of me!!

[chemistryguy]

♬ding-dong♬

Maybe it's Mr. Pouch...or maybe it's Fannie Mae trying to find out why the hell you haven't been making payments on your clown college loan.

BTW: Does anyone else think he sound a lot like Scott Bakula?

[cinerama62]

HEY IT"S OOPSY! I was like 5 or 6 when this show was on in the mid 60's? I think. Oh I remember Oopsy thanks otnipj3s

[beeve2000]

I was actually on Big Top Talent when I was a kid -- Oopsy was the host. I remember he smelled like booze.

[tw69hands2]

I love Oopsy the Clown...

[gyruss73]

First of all its the late 70's early 80's. And its from CKCO TV. Filmed in Kitchener,Ontario.

[coralprincess25]

The Daisyville Bugle -- LOL. Thanks for the memories.

[tw69hands2]

I loved Oopsy, I used to watch him on channel 4 in Detroit too.

[LisaBaby67]

I remember watching this show in the 70s.

I think we had longer attention spans than kids today do.

[RealDetroiter]

I still have recollections of seeing Oopsy in person at the Shrine Circus one year..

[JRGrowden]

Oopsy the Clown, a children's performer portrayed by St, Thomas , Ontario native Bob McNea (1929-2005), moved to CKCO after appearing for several years on Detroit, Michigan NBC affiliate WWJ-TV (now WDIV-TV). Bob was the Detroit "Bozo the Clown." He switced personas in which he then portrayed Oopsy on,"The Oopsy the Clown Show" aired for a while on WWJ and then Bob decided to move back to Canada and joined CKCO-TV.

[DTBroad]

Bob McNea was the original "Detriot," Bozo the clown for 8 years 1959-1967. In 1967 he was given the chance to air his own creation "Oopsy Daisy the clown," and he played Oppy for WWJ-Tv for another 12 years in Detriot 1967-1979 before relocitng back to Canada and airing the Oopsy show there on CKCO-Tv

[Deminski2]

Whatever happened to Oopsys planned return to the internet?

[TECHboyNO]

Sounds like Pruane.

[143AC]

Dear Delcagle, The name of the magic clown character who performed

for his viewers and promoted the hell out of the Twin Pines

Dairies was"Milky"(played first by Clare Cummings and

later by Karroll Fox).

[Eric2542]

Bozo would kick this clown's ass anyday!!

[PatMete]

actually Eric2542, Oopsy the Clown started out as the original Bozo in Detroit. When Bozo was cancelled, he was given the time slot and created the Oopsy character.

[Eric2542]

Interesting. I learn something new every day...and this was it! Thanks.

[DrewXXX1]

It might have aird in Detroit but this was a Canadian Broadcast and Canadian TV created Show ! Out of Toronto ,Ontario, Canada !

Oopsy the Clown even has a myspace and facebook page ! Daisyville, Ontario

Canada

[kudazzz]

on the contrary, i visited the studio at channel 4 in detroit where oopsy was taped back in the early 70's thats DETROIT!

[DrewXXX1]

Original Broadcaster(s): CKCO

Written and produced by Robert McNea who is Canadian it aired in Detroit

but owned and aired CKCO-TV is a television station broadcasting on channel 13 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

[malaouze]

The man who played Oopsy the Clown was Robert J McNea, great man and wonderful grandpa.

[pdiubld]

Grew up in Windsor down the street from mr. Mcnae. He was a very kind man

[coralprincess25]

Oopsy-daisy!!!

[drvannostrum1]

Wow, this video takes me back, too. I watched Oopsy on Channel 4 when I was a kid. This is an era long one of locally produced TV shows; it really was a simpler past.

[terrykozak]

Oopsy was Bozo's bastard brother

[terrykozak]

Always glad to see members of the Detroit Lions management had found jobs after being fired

[RoulinBrooks]

I was more of a Sir Graves guy, but I did watch Oopsy as well. And when I was in first grade (in Windsor) I was on the Bozo the Clown show. God, almost 40 years ago! Crazy.

[delcagle]

So many of my friends dont even believe even believe he existed, or milky the twin pines dairy, Detroit Classics

[rgrudich]

thanks for bringing me back to a simpler time

[Heatmi5er]

I used to think Oopsy was the greatest. Him & Bozo, I just couldn't get enough of them. Thanks for posting this video. It really brings back memories.

[dadrocks11222333444]

what the....?

that is the stupidest video EVER!!!

[spdskte]

My, my we were easily entertained back then. Can remember this was one of the only things to watch on Sunday morning.

[mcnowski]

no offense Oopsy, but you creep me out now, as much as you did 20 something years ago!!! he he!

[otnipj3s]

Robert (Bob) McNea played the Channel 4 Bozo and, Oopsy the Clown. The Channel 9 Bozo was Art Cervi. You are correct!

[chrisman737]

I was on Bozo when I was little. I was amazed by Bozo's red hair -- because we had a black and white TV and had no idea it was red until I saw him in person!

[Hoopermazing]

@otnipj3s Channel 4 Bozo??? I never watched Bozo on any channel other than CBET Channel 9 a day in my life... right after "The New Adventures of Pinocchio" and "Tales of the Wizard of Oz." Oddly, that block of programming started at 5:30 a.m.

[Lambtonboy]

Didn't the guy who played Oopsy also play Bozo on Channel 9 Windsor, CKLW station? Oopsy's voice is exactly the same as Bozo's from that era.

[AM4LIONS]

Bob McNea played Bozo on Channel 4. When Bozo moved to Channel 9, Oopsy came to Channel 4. I even think that Bozo introduced us to Oopsy on his last show on WWJ-TV.

[PatMete]

Bozo and Oopsy were one in the same. When Bozo finished, they gave him the time slot and he created Oopsy

[JeffWildcat64]

I grew up in Detroit watching Oopsy on WWJ now WDIV Channel 4 for many years. Wish they would put them on DVD. Boy television has changed over the years in Detroit.

[columbiabug]

when the world is smashed because of it's sins, "Amerikan Idol" "Family Guy" etc, these pigs who invented it will be in the cauldron, Detroit will be spared, and it will be pure again.

[announcermike]

I think I know who is playing oopsy it ernie cooums.

[Edgarketo]

creepy

[cwecub]

i grew up in Lincoln Park a suburb of Detroit and watched Oopsy every weekend..gosh the memories

[SirFone]

I grew up in Oak Park and used to watch Oopsy almost every weekend with my younger sister. I had completely forgotten about him until tonight, when I discovered Oopsy on YouTube.

[malaouze]

Oopsy the clown was my grandpa. he brought laughter into a lot of canadian's homes and was a wonderful man. i miss him very much. he passed away a couple years ago but still lives on in our hearts

[westman34]

And a wonderful way to remember detroit from when it was alive.

[ovalvw57]

Oopsy. One of my heroes. Enough of an influence that I've been a professional clown now for over 17 years. Thanks!

[darkgreen0311]

I grew up on Oopsy from the D town.

[Tazzman]

This guy used to play Bozo The Clown as well!

[WestCoastRich]

Mr. Pouch used to go to our church!

[hooperxxx]

When I was a kid in the early 70s, my neighbor, who was around 20, always used to accuse Oopsy of being a racist.

[mdumas43073]

Oopsy was still around when I was a tyke in the late '70s/early '80s. I'd watch him once in a great while.

Didn't Oopsy have a little chicken friend who would lay pre-fried or poached eggs?

[AM4LIONS]

I want to say Henrietta Hen.

[sudrakarma]

Man, that takes me back.

[DougE19]

i loved oopsy when i was little and my children loves him just as much hopefuley he can come back to tv someday even if only reruns

[otnipj3s]

ROBERT (BOB) McNEA

[mrdavesmagic]

Do you guys know the name of the person who played Oopsy the Clown?

[cyberbeer65]

Oopsy the clown can't be brought back to television.He is dead.

[Deminski2]

Another ACTOR can be Oopsy

[AM4LIONS]

make no mistake: he was a CLOWN

[Deminski2]

Oopsy the clown should be brought back to television

[westman34]

Society's gonna have to stop being sick and crazy before people like oopsy are truly appreciated again. Sorry, but it is too true.

[SirFone]

There's a lot of truth to that statement, dude. Our society's taste in humor has become so incredibly jaded & wicked, that unless something disgusting or blasphemous (against Christ) is portrayed, people just won't consider it funny. The America I grew up in is dead.
