1990 Rat Fink Toy Commercial

[JenChristison89]

R.I.p. Ed you are missed everyday

[AnimeNewsRadio101]

ah! i remember this one, when to my high school and saw painitng of big daddy himself and rat fink "he was from bell high school and i gald i was their!" and wonder how much those days cost?

[neovoltron25]

I used to have one of the toys, but sadly it broke. :(

I was the copywriter who dreamed this spot up. To my knowledge it's the only time that Rat Fink ever spoke, so I got to give him the voice. It was a great experience working with Ed Roth. I still have notes from Ed during the animation process commenting on the progress, "fatten him up" as well as the original animation frames. My only copy exists on a decaying 3/4" video so I was excited to find this (at my 27 year olds request.)

hahaha I remember this!!  Im 28 years old now...

[J5MARLON]

@Beechboy68 I remember this too and I'm 29 now

Rat Fink here kind of reminds me of Mr. Bumpy from Bump in the Night, any chance he was voiced by Jim Cummings in this commerical?

hot rods rock the world

[gorillazfan3]

[ctdsnark]

"Better than a bunch'a singin' raisins"?

THAT definitely dates this!

Amazingly,this WASN'T included in "Tales Of The Rat Fink"!

[CagedTurkey]

lol I actually remember this commercial.

[TheHyde55]

Rat Fink speaks? Holy cow.

[StarFoxAutobot]

He's actually a pretty singer at the end. Almost sounds like Ed Roth.

[Imagemaster23]

theres only one thing I can really say about this commercial: FAWFUL

[sugarpolyp]

Do you think you could host the original video on a media fire site or something? The animation on this is amazing, and i would love to have a higher quality version to study. This is seriously wicked.

[LexisaurusRex]

[wsbtam]

These were some of the coolest toys ever! I still got ALL of em, and they work every bit as well as when they were new!!

RIP Big Daddy Roth..yer missed!!

[bbccaprice89]

i remember these toys as a small child. this is how i was introduced to the fink, so in a way it was kind of the beginning of the end! ive been a bonified retard gearhead ever since! RIP BIG DADDY!

[manlyflash]

This is honestly the scariest toy to have ever been invented. Please inform me if it is not.

[torokthetroll]

[theotherther1]

Moody Rudy is freakier than both of those. Go look him up.

Awesome commercial. Where were these toys when I was growing up? God damnit.

[ctdsnark]

Mainstream America may never embrace ol' R.F.,but there'll always be a place for him!

[punkazzgearhead]
