Classic Saturday Morning Commercials #5 (1969-72)

[LadyGreenEyes964]

SO many memories! Totally forgot about those kid dinners, too!

[JCarVids1]

i remember eating those kids meals, they were disgusting- and I wasn't a picky kid.

[yakk13]

I wish lucky charms would go back to the solid color marshmellow candies. they don't even make any sense now.

[MsCargento]

Omg. LIBBYLAND DINNERS=Your hippy parents are going out and Mom won't be cooking...it was referred to as "a TV dinner"....those were GREAT days!!!

[FCA1975]

0:30 I remember that commercial. Toys and their ads were FAR superior to what they have now. As far as toys that are not video game or computer based I mean.

[rileyroozy]

the kids that started to dance in the lucky charms part made me Rotfl

[dukes0916]

Libbylind Kid's Meals! THATS what they were called! I ate those when I was in pre-school... and I've been trying to think of the name of them for nearly 40 years! (thanks!) The irony is that I was a picky eater & I still LOVED them. Everyone else seems to think they were awful, hence them being taken OFF the market! I remember the 'magic' angle in the drink was that it left swirled patterns of food-colered crystals on the bottom of the cup!

[steven665]

@dukes0916  I loved libbyland meals and had them as a special treat once in a while. Those boxes were so much fun for a kid. I I agree they are an awful combo of unhealthy food choices but given the era, we barely had been exopsed to such choices prior. And i agree ...lunchables are worse.

[BubbleTea6341]

lol we have battery powered cars now!

[MrServoRetro]

1:30 That's another one of Bill Melendez's works, the way I see it.

[Constanze1980]

UAG this Libbyland stuff looks disgusting!

[Constanze1980]

UAG the Libbyland Dinner looks disgusting :-(

[scorand]

the libbyland lunch packs were way better than these lunchables

[JoseCarioca101]

wait a minute o_0 did frankin berry have nailpolish on !?

[drzeus99]

I had a couple of those SST cars when I was a kid, and it was one of the coolest toys a kid could have back then. Brings back great memories !

[monsterhighstar]

the libby land crap does look gross and r those french fries...... and mac and CHEESE?????

[ricebunnee]

I want superstocker, it changes from pink to blue!!! =D

[chazcov08]

I want a remote controlled SSP!

[madcapromanian]

Those poor deprived kids! Lucky charms only had 4 marshmellows back then!

Now therer's like 45 different ones in each box and no more of the actual pops.

[pbanta62]

@madcapromanian I can hardly wait for the Dragonfruit Dodecahedron and honeydew Higgs bosun (of course only one box ever will ever have even one of the latter). Frosted Lucky Charm, it's magically creation!

[happymlk]

Libbyland dinners!!!! I used to plead with my mother to get them. Totally influenced by the commercials & the kid friendly packaging. I'm sure if I tasted them now, they'd be uber-nasty. But...I got my parents to buy them. The drink was particularly awful!!

[Jeff98177]

I remember the Libbyland dinners, folding up the carton like it shows on the commercial. The pudding always tasted burnt and in one of them, they had root beer mix for the milk - yecch. We dumped that down the drain.

[jck9506]

I ate a box of FrankenBery in one day!

[kenfuscious]

@jck9506 And that is why you can't spell Frankenberry to this day.

[xXxcollectorxXx]

i was not alive to see this but that pirate picnic looks awesome XD

probaly taste like crap

[pardyhardly]

Why don't Frankenberry and Count Chocula just fuck and get it over with.

[jkeyes59]

@the racist Treblinka...you are a dummy!!!!

[Treblinka2012]

this is befor the jews started puting token niggers in every tv add and every movey ... this is B.T Befor token

[KlunkerRider]

Franken Berry, Count Chocula, Lucky Charms, "charged with vitamins" Oh yeah! and 5 lbs of suger per serving...and they wondered why we ran everywhere and couldnt still in class for a second. LOL

[bunloveszep]

Oh my gosh! Loved those Libbyland frozen meals! :)

[michaelpc64]

I wonder why Irish Americans never got upset about Lucky Charms...the leprachaun is actually a pretty negative stereotype to the Irish. Must be they have a sense of humor.

[JamesTKirkCobain]

If this came out today it would be banned because hotdogs are bad for kids and lawsuits would fly because some kids ate it.

[OldFooFan]

They still had those T racers when I was a kid in the 80s. I think I got one for xmas one year. That LibbyLand thing looks like vomit.

[katrus]

Was that the origin of Boo Berry?

[snowrocket]

@katrus He came a few years later and usually upstaged the other two at the end of the ad. Good tasting cereal. I still like it and I'm 45.

[devtrev]

I had SSP's - ther were incredible.

[auggdogrules]

ah those libby dinners were pretty bad especially the pudding or any dessert,i can taste them right now.they were as bad as fizzies.

[chardtomp]

The SST racers were really big in 1969.

[seansaccount101]

the cars are actually called SST's not ssp's

[ardvarkkkkk]

@seansaccount101 Wrong. Listen to the commercial. I had several of them and the clearly said SSP on the box.

[dapletd]

i have been watching a lot of commercials back in the 60/70ies and seeing them brought back a lot of memory's and it does not seem that long ago when life was fun and everyone was young well and happy..It is a reminder of how short are lives are.I had a lot of those fun toys without the electronic stuff.I really don't know what the kids have today but i cant see it being any more fun.

[Mkayla50]

Wow. Lucky Charms really have changed in 40 years. o.O (Also, the kids don't catch Lucky nowdays...*sigh*)

[dwb2dwb2]

Man, they need to bring back the SSP racers NOW! Anything to get the kids up off the coach with their heads in the video games!

[jeg97256]

that tray meal looks.......healthy

[alexeykh]

Dude, Lucky Charms had Stars of David?

[elc1960]

In a room full of baby boomers, just say "Always after my Lucky Charms", and I guarantee you that at least one person will follow it with "the frosted oat cereal with sweet surprises!" Amazing the crap that settles into the recesses of your brain.

[alexeykh]

@elc1960 "You're soaking in it."

[shelbb123]

AHHH< those crazy RANKIN-BASS Fellas!!! lol!

[shelbb123]

Hey Why is the mean Magician from FROSTY THE SNOW MAN pretending to be A LibbyLand bad guy???

[Prizm4]

0:12 yuck that meal looks gross haha

[namffocevets]

whoo hooo when tv dinners were actually tv dinners with a variety of items .unlike the tv dinners now that have nothing just 2 items very very small items

[KVKW]

What did the letters "SSP" stand for?

[shanelizard]

@KVKW "super-sonic power"

[SpinalRemainz]

those libbyland things looked like shit

[TheBlueyedblond]

I hate to admit it, but I remember those cereal commercials. Geez, I am getting old....

[SuicideOnMyMind]

the first one the villian dresses like capt crunch

[Sheri451]

Those hot dogs and chocolate pudding was nasty!. I used to like Frankenberry but not Count hockula, where was Booberry? Plus in Lucky Charms, where were blue diamonds and purple horseshoes?

[Prizm4]

@Sheri451 they weren't invented yet.

[ardvarkkkkk]

@Sheri451 My favorite was Quisp.

[amuslima99]

@ardvarkkkkk I liked Quake.

[amuslima99]

@ardvarkkkkk I liked Quake. Did you get the beanie?

[teetertotter68]

Crash em'? Smash em'?

Might as well say "Break em'! Incinerate em'!

[blondeballinbabe]

The macaroni and meatballs look nasty... :/

[MrDS67]

My Mother always bought those for Me,I feel old now! :)

[scorpietta]

When my folks went out on fri nights, the sitter would serve us Libby Land dinners. We used to love them, but in retrospect, they were disgusting.

[StormsongK]

Hope they've got enough starch in that TV dinner. Hot dog with a SIDE of spaghetti and meatballs?? Then fries and a brownie? Wow. Course, it's not any different now.

[CallMeGeek]

omg the jew star was in the lucky charms back then.

[tonywallacess45]

Sodium overload!!!

[Darkshine42]

Mean Jean plundered the Hot Dog! LMAO!

[pphunkwephunk]

@Darkshine42

ROFLMAO!!!!

[classicphile]

The franken berry and c ount chocula commerical is quite memorable. I was a big cereal eater at the time (memories: eating my favorite cereals in front of the living room tv on a saturday morning, watching cartoons). Though I much prefered franken berry. My sister prefered count chocula

[ricantarzan]

Any of you guys owned the Wilt Chamberlain Basketball Game? It came out in 1971-72 and it was similar to a sliding Hockey Game but it had basketball players and a hole in each free throw area with a plastic orange ball that you would bat around and once it fell into the hole, you would press a button to shoot the ball into the basket.

[dnwiles228]

now the Lucky Charms commercial goes way back. anyone noticed there were no blue diamonds and purple horseshoes?.....RETRO

[67nairb]

Has Lucy Charms added new mashmellowes sinxe the blue diamonds and purple horseshoes?

[crocetti1984]

They've added and replaced so many that I don't recognize any of the shapes anymore.

[67nairb]

Thet added the the diamonds I think the late 1970s and the purple hoseshoes in 1985.

[stomp919]

Back in grade school i launched a SSP off a ramp and hit this girl Susie in the side of the head..WHAM! She narked and SSPs were banned from school. The next day we treated the girls on the playground with some thrown rocks. Susie got it good that day!

[VirgilB01]

I remember those! I had the Detonator! And they were banned in my school also because some kids were racing them on the floor and the teacher would take them and you wouldn't get them back until school was over with a letter attached to them from the Principal to take home to your parents! They also had sparks come out the sides when you pulled the rip cords, remember!

[stomp919]

Virgil i had the Bonneville bike? And one that looked like a dragster. Man them things could fly. They were selling them again back in the 90s i shouldve bought a few. We grew up in a great era for toys. Heres some that i remember i had....Aurora monster models {bought a bunch on ebay i blew mine up with firecrackers}Green Ghost game,Voice of the mummy game, Hot wheels sizzlers cars n tracks, Johnny lightning cars n tracks, creepy crawlers,Fright factory,Strange change machine,Cap guns,water gun

[VirgilB01]

AURORA MONSTER MODELS!! You blew them up! Are you nuts!!? The last ones I seen on eBay sold for over $3,000. I believe and it was a Godzilla model in original packaging! If you have some of these items you should hold on to them. because some of these toys you can't find anywhere.

[stomp919]

Blacklight posters of monsters ghouls, Blacklights, Strobe lights, Slingshots, Pellet bb guns,Hockey games with the players attached to metal rods, electronic football,click clacks, slot car tracks n cars,glow globs, glow juice,trains,schwinn bicycle with the banana seat and monkey hanger handlebars,wheel-o, super balls,rebound game,crossfire game,wacky packages stickers,cox dune buggy.cox dragster,cox airplanes,rubber band airplanes,battling tops,battleship,stratego,i dug up two cars i had

[VirgilB01]

[ardvarkkkkk]

@VirgilB01 I still have one of the Cox propeller driven cars. It's the original metal one.

[stomp919]

with my metal detector. ones a hot wheels beatnick bandit the others a johnny lightning i almost threw it away it looked like a clump of junk at first. besides the two cars i dug up the only remaining toy from the early 70s is a empty tube of Vampire Blood i found by the side of our garage about 10 years ago. Man i was stoked lol

[1963TNT]

@stomp919 Man that is hilarious! I had an SSP back in grade school they were such a simple yet fun toy.You take the kids in grade school now and transport them back to 1969 and they would'nt know how to have fun without the help of some mindless video game.At least our toys took imagination.

[stomp919]

@1963TNT Man those days rocked. Hockey games with the sticks and metal players. Electronic football. Aurora monster models, mine were destroyed with firecrackers. Voice of the mummy game. Green Ghost game. Johnny Lightning cars and tracks. Hot wheels and sizzlers cars and tracks. I bought,on ebay, the Green Ghost Game,aurora monster models and JL and hot wheel cars. The only surviving things I have from when I was little is a empty tube of Vampire Blood and a JL Whistler car i dug up mtldetector

[1963TNT]

@stomp919 Man the hot wheels were really cool! I use to build alot of model airplanes and cars and I loved trading football cards with my friends during recess.I also had this bad ass GI Joe and some really sweet Tonka trucks.Remember lincoln logs? I had them and a really nice erector set.My sisters liked the board games so I played those too,Monopoly,Life,Mouse Trap,Operation and yes I'm ashamed to admit it but even Candyland! Loved the late 60s and 70s.!! :)

[micmac99]

@stomp919 OK let me guess. You and Susie are celebrating your 20th wedding anniversary this month.

[stomp919]

@micmac99 Hardly. Whenever I encounter any of the girls from grade school I either get a dirty look or they throw their noses in the air lmao!

[dale1065]

SSP racers were my favorite childhood toy.

Count Chocula was great, but Franken Berry tasted like cheap floury puffs sprayed with a berry flavor. Yuck. Lucky Charms is still an all-time favorite.

[barmtrail]

ssp toys were awesome. they hurt like hell when you got your skin caught in the power wheel....lol i feel sorry for the kids today, they sit on their computers and drink soda and get fat. do you think a kid today can climb a tree today?

[tricianfred]

These commercials bring back fond memories of childhood....

[j3tsKi94]

hahah i love these commercials! :D

[katelyn7645]

libbyland diner hotdog mac and cheese and other delicos things ncluding MILK MAGIC its magically disusting

[cuteycindyhoney]

Why does Libby the Kid talk with his teeth tightly clenched together? Is the food that bad? Is he about to toss his mac and cheese?

(^_^)

[m1kenas]

yeah!!!got your kids hooked on sugar...on count chocula and farting berries...no wonder we have a diabetes epidemic

[jpratt01]

Libby meals. Barf disguised as some sort of appetizing food.

Yum Yum!

[SuperDisser]

1:47 Star of David

[jb68025]

i liked boo berry.

[visor109]

That Libbyland TV dinner looks gross!

[aangels92]

do they still sell that?

[logitechnc]

@visor109 But did it taste good?

[devtrev]

@visor109 They definately were! Even Ethiopia rejected those things.

[pbandjotterlover]

@visor109 it was better and healthier than kids cuisien.

[StefanoFan27]

wow.

[magentadance]

lol omg thats old!

[JohannaGotTalent41]

I remeber those stt cars my brother had them

[testchimp23]

Did you notice the star in lucky charms used to be a star of david?

[Mkayla50]

Man...did Lucky get plastic surgery or something?

[Trell7369]

Do they still make frankenberry

[MrMudbucket]

or booberry

[saxysai]

yes, and they still make Boo Berry too, they're just much harder to find than Count Chocula. You can still usually get them around Halloween. :)

[Korea4Me]

Those Libbyland kids meals tasted awful and I don't have very fond memories of the Frankenberry cereal either.

[fonna]

I had SSP Racers.

I wasn't a Barbie doll kind of kid....;)

[Morneion]

they took the cereals but NOT the Leprechaun??

[Dennisandavril]

lucky charm look diffrent in the 21st centuries

[woodaddy3]

I loved the SST racer cars !

[LessonNumber1]

minty is afraid of kimono's cereal (frankenberry and count chocula)

[erererer2]

i remember an article that said kids thout they were pooping blood because of the red dye of the frankenberries anyone else know about that

[LessonNumber1]

you can't have that annymore

[LessonNumber1]

anyone don't know about that

[mistofoles]

Didn't something similar to that happen in that movie "CUJO"??

[vaguy78]

At least the lucky charms leprechaun got some cereal as opposed to the poor trix bunny.

[xMaBrosx]

Lucky always gets cereal. The rabbit rarely gets any.

[Bluedragon094]

i remember once, and only once the rabbit got some cereal and when he went home to his apartment, he was out of milk and the "Got Milk?" message appeared right afterward. I was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! HE WAS SOOO CLOSE!" Lol.

[PBButterDough]

If you watch Classic Saturday Morning Commercials #4 (from same uploader as this one), he got one bite.

[xoxfallenxstarxox]

Count Chocula FTW!

[LessonNumber1]

u stink

[zenarcade64]

I remember them all. Hopefully the kids didn't eat a steady diet of Libbyland dinners and Count Chocula or they'd be dead by now

[leslielove]

jan 3 1972

[SasatheShy]

Luv the Lucky Charms add. It reminds me of just how many marshmellow desings have been added, like the hot air balloon,the shooting star, and the newest time glass. haha

[leslielove]

the year i was born

[trevinboy]

wow me too, what month? Me July 20, 1972.

[erererer2]

iveheard a bout that ink thing thats why i never ate it but i loved it

[MsTexas73]

I Still LURVE Frankenberry cereal! It's hard to find nowadays though...usually can only get it around Halloween

[ra70s]

yeah, I recently found some frankenberry, booberry and count chocula @ shaw's. I was surprised to see them there. I bought all 3. the cereal color is darker and GM added more color variety marshmallows.

[jose65536]

Wow! Those cars were nice! If they were to be announced now I'd enjoy them. I have a control car but it's bigger.

[fightycat354]

why was frankenberry watch at count Chocula sleeping the i thing that was gay

[Jeff98177]

I read something funny about Franken Berry - the food coloring they used back then wasn't digested, as a result, kids thought they were bleeding when they went to the bathroom. I hope I haven't ruined your dinners. lol

[acidtones1]

Eww! That Libyland food looks gross! Now way I would have eaten that shit as a kid!

[musicom67]

Libbyland musta been alot of fat kids. Agreed what a nasty assortment of 'food'.

But who can't forget the sound of those Kenner SSP racers if you weren't 5 in 1972.....a-wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee! Every kid with the easy mom had the "Detonator".

[acidtones1]

I wasn't born until 1979 but I would have enjoyed those cars. I had some car and motorcycle toys that were similar.

[librakingXTC]

Libbyland had NO fat kids, ya' know why?

'casuse we didn't sit in front of a computer or play a video game all day! We played OUTSIDE all day long, until the street lights came on(that's when you knew to go home)Rode bikes, climbed trees, went swimming, played stick ball, built forts, you name it. Life was so much simpler & straight forward in those days. I kinda feel sorry for kids these days.

[musicom67]

I'm 41, and I lament with you, and also occupied my time as a kid doing the same, but I secretly am still jealous of 'kids these days' just HAVING the Internet for a resource. Somehow all those visits to the local library have ended.

[ra70s]

I agree.

[neato6789]

well you don't have to brag about it.

[MrFlashBazbo]

@librakingXTC

Preach on brother! Preach on!!

[whammer0411]

@librakingXTC "And that's the way it was and WE LIKED IT!"...sucks to get old...

[ra70s]

I have an original starsky and hutch car with a t-stick.

[hobossuck]

on 00:19 yllib the kid is scary

[hobossuck]

libby*

[kyyzurri]

I had every one of those SST racers!

[russ5150]

me too

[Poopookachew1]

Lucky Charms: Now with Star of David shapes...

[warlaker]

I still remember when they added the all-important 5th one--blue diamonds. The hype was as if they hid a REAL diamond as the special bonus gift.

[Morbiddragonelf]

Wow. I can't go back that far. I remember when they added purple horse shoes, and then like years later there were red balloons.

[mrmoore1970]

LOL! I thought I was the only one that remembers that!

[frankothemountain]

Yeah, whats up with that? Isn't this supposed to be an Irish serial?

[KC1967]

geesh! didn't know those cereals were around for THAT long!

[MyThrillKillKult]

SSPs were sweeet i still got like 4 or 5 from 69 to 73, they all still work too and we beat the #$%^ outts these toys as kids

[pookerville]

Back in the 1970s, Saturday mornings were a gold mine for kids commercials. Since then, the whole scene has exploded into something like a mishmash!

[ishredu]

wow back before they made lucky look like a freak have you seen the new art on these cereals? f'n aweful

[ishredu]

still have my sst after 40 years!

[Dietpepsivanilla]

Lucky was always getting good ideas, but somehow effin' up and the kids would get his Lucky Charms.

[maltedfalcon]

It's the thrill of racing that really counts, for me and my SSP>
