Minute Maid Commercial - Popeye &Bluto

[sillygrl23]

lol, I have to admit looking back on it now its pretty funny to think about it.

[Ravengaurd6]

"homies over hoes" I guess -_-

[caseclass1224]

so spinige makes Popeye hate Bruno and minute maid makes him become friends with him.

.

[thisnameisuntaken]

LOL CRACK

[Soulforge00]

I love Olive's expression at the end: "Wait, you don't think...?"

[iria20]

Matching tattoos, riding tandem on a bicycle, 2 grown men pushing each other on swings? Both plainly uninterested in quite literally the ONLY woman of their acquaintance? I'm not even going to make the unfounded claim that they are gay. I'm just suggesting Bluto and Popeye enjoy semen........seamen.

[MsKrishtina]

Awesome! This is too funny!

[TheRegart]

lol Olive Oyl got rejected!

[barber747]

Now that was awkward.

[dmanlvgmail]

To sum it up in one simple sentence... "Bro's before Ho's"

[ferbfan1onmoshi]

TV Tropes brought me here :)

[Astronautical123]

minute maid has commercials?

[Armedus]

Foe Yay, Fo' Sho'

[TerryB01]

I KNEW these two were actually friends! Sure they fight a lot, but all friends do that at some point.

Seriously, there's something charming about seeing people that always fight getting along.

They're not gay (nothing wrong with that) they're just close. Why does every kind thing a guy does for another guy have to be thought of as gay these days?

[JadenVonBat]

@TerryB01 Amen.

[TerryB01]

@JadenVonBat Thanks:)

[IvanTheMouse]

Ahhhh! My childhood! My eyes! All my heart and memories, they're...all destroyed!

[Mavericker7]

@IvanTheMouse I think you are reading too much into this. lol.

[ACluelessKid]

I see friends.. Which confuses me because they're enemies, but that's the joke.

[mandrake01]

It's just my imagination or Olive said "What the-" when Popeye and Brutus past her?

[Sciencebro]

Olive's just like "OH GOD WHAT."

[SirRofflez]

So... Minute maid makes you gay?

[Soppe23]

@SirRofflez If so, I am impervious to it's dark and twisted powers!

[SlippyToad97]

C'MON, Everyone is more beauty than Olive!

[marioroxmysox]

I see this in a very different way. I don't find them homosexual in this Ad, but I wish Bluto gets a different girl, like in "Popeye and Son."

[frankftw]

Popeye and Bluto are even closer in the 1940s cartoon SHAPE AHOY (search for it on youtube)

[dark7element]

They probably could have gotten away without any accusations of homosexuality if the animators hadn't thrown in that end bit with Popeye and Bluto riding past Olive Oyl, especially that look she gives the camera at 0:29 .

[Jayday12345678910]

the navy

[Elisha2Kings]

IN YOUR FACE ANITA BRYANT!

[jzerony]

Anyone know who's doing the song in this commercial? I know it's not Harry Nilsson but whoever it is was certainly trying to sound like him!

[jzerony]

Actually, there are a quite a few Popeye cartoons from the 30s where Popeye and Bluto are great friends like this - so this really isn't that far fetched after all. In fact, there's one where they both leave Olive Oyl at the alter - heh heh heh!! I think the episode was "For Better Or Worser"

[guruguruponchan27]

Aw yeah . Minute maid just blew my mind.

[Exarian]

WHAT THE F- Somebody had their minute maid."

[409lego]

well that looked gay

[dechha1981]

OK, that's...

Yeah why the hell not.

[BigBlueBeast]

This was one of the stupidest commercials during that time! Popeye and Bluto have always been enemies. They have been fighting each other for years!

[AutumnDevi]

omigod SO MUCH HOYAY. If the creator of this had any idea what the internet was like, he never would have made this in the first place

[Lectronimo]

Take that, Anita Bryant!

[67nairb]

It's nice to see Popeye and Bluto getting along with each other, but this is carrying it too far.

[67nairb]

In 2004 there was a computer animated cartoon Christmas special about Popeye that was made for television. It was to celebrate Popeye's 75th birthday. Billy West was the voice of Popeye, Kathy Bates was the voice of the Sea Hag, but I don't know who the voices of Olive Oyl or Bluto were. Alan Melvin was still alive at this time and could've done the voice of Bluto just as he did for Hanna-Barbera in the 70s.

[Tozzywozzy01]

One of the most unexpected bro-mances in history XD

[Cresantstar]

seems olive oyl was ignored..... but she did always flirt with both so serves her right

[ESLinstructor1]

Popeye and Bluto were actually friends in a few of the classic Fleischer/Famous shorts. An example of this would be FIGHTIN' PALS, in which Popeye and Bluto have no grudge against each other, but just beat each other up for fun.

[67nairb]

@ESLinstructor1 Was that the episodes where Bluto goes on an expedition to Africa and gets lost and it's up to Popeye to find him?

[ESLinstructor1]

@67nairb That is the one!

[67nairb]

@ESLinstructor1 I thought so.

[67nairb]

I didn't know Popeye & Bluto were gay.

[wallblues]

@67nairb I DID!

[67nairb]

@wallblues Did what?

[wallblues]

@67nairb You said you didn't know Popeye and Bluto were gay, right?

[67nairb]

@wallbluesRight. This commercial certainly does suggest that Popeye and Bluto are homosexual. Maybe they're bisexual.

[blugubrious]

Part 1 ~ I think straight men expressing their affection for each other is great and needs to be encouraged WITHOUT the assumption of gayness. In this case, though, it isn't until the end when they ignore Olive Oyl, whom they have traditionally fought over, that the gay romantic implication becomes crystal clear.

[blugubrious]

Part 2 ~ Maybe they should advertise Crystal Light®, because coming out as gay often involves an "AHA! moment" when a person realizes their true sexual orientation with crystaline clarity, like a light being turned on, cutting through confusion and denial. I like to think this is what happened for our formerly feuding lovebirds above.

Make love with other men, not war! ;)

[FSinWCR]

I remember this being shown on the Daily Show once, and to quote Stephen Colbert:

Popeye and Bluto are not Pirate Smokers!

[blugubrious]

Yay for Gay Love! Studies have shown that macho, homophobic men feel sexual attraction to other men to some extent and it's their own same-sex feelings that they're so afraid of. Popeye & Bluto were really fighting their attraction to each other all these years. It took Minute Maid to help them see the light and be all that they can be. They'll never look at another Maid again! ;D

[BenGoldmanRulzzz]

@blugubrious Gay?What?Men can't be good friends without being callled gay?You assume they are gay?

[TedNewsom]

Ah- kuk kuk kuk-kuk kuk-kuk.

Whoa! Blow me down! Or better yet...

[KingLashiec]

Minute Maid is powerful enough to turn Popeye and Bluto into best friends.

[BenGoldmanRulzzz]

@KingLashiec Now if that could only work with me and my brother.

[IoEstasCedonta]

Someone cloned Wimpy!

[scorchx3000]

@IoEstasCedonta

No wonder their's a hamburger shortage!

[abrahamWCE]

our minds are so corrputed that we don´t understand the male friendship

[BenGoldmanRulzzz]

@abrahamWCE exactly

[kyokararoi]

needs more oranges.

[poopoolar]

This was done at a time when Popeye and Bluto were known by the world that they are sworn enemies, like a cold war...

[scorpio11778]

That was stupid. It made them look they are gay

[Melchersson]

Agree! Its almost a cartoon for adults!

[33Keith33]

I guess the boys have been at sea a little too long. First, they found Olive Oyl remotely attractive, now this.

[clinch44]

i think being at sea too long will make you think Olive Oyl is remotely attractive. they just been on land too long. lol

[67nairb]

@33Keith33 Personally, I never understood what Popeye and Bluto saw in Olive Oyl. Why were these boys fighting for the love of a skinny scarecrow like Olive? Now if they were fighting over Betty Boop I could understand it.

[scorchx3000]

@33Keith33

The sea can do funny things. On that note, it's B;uto's turn in the barrel tomorrow.

[Merocet]

Where I live, Minute Maid orange juice is both hard to find and annoyingly expensive, and to be honest I don't even like it all that much.

This ad makes me want to drink nothing else for the rest of my life. Good work, Minute Maid!

[JAF1970]

Their smiles as Olive fails to seduce them, and the look on her face, says it all.

[thickterranarmor]

Popeye and Bluto are not pirate smokers, damnit!

[VALENTINEproductions]

lol this is a great commercial.

[younglink3108]

wth!!!

two wimpys?!!

[PVTSolis]

Popeye and bluto are not pirate smokers.

[Thissiteisapain]

That was gay. lol

[Guinnesso]

This commercial made me gay.

Orange juice made me gayer.

[jerene2178]

lol......

[zzxzqwq]

Guinnesso oh yeah i remember you i fucked your wife with my thick rock hard 10 inch black cock. Yes she screamed all nmight long relief from a creep like you.

[THEDEKE1]

Hilarities abound as sailors do stuff together.

A hurrah for platonicism.

[XavierAXB]

Everyone keeps saying the gay overtones are what makes this commercial weird/funny. I say it's the simple fact that Popeye and Bluto are within ten feet of each other without trying to kill each other that makes this commercial hilarious.

[stack63us]

"It wouldn't have been quite as bad without the last scene where Popeye and Bluto ignore Olive Oyl."

This is what gives it away. Bluto and Popeye NEVER did that in the cartoons. In fact, the whole premise was the two of them fighting for Olive's love. Also, I'm a heterosexual man, and while I've had real good "buddies" in my life, NONE would ever have taken my focus off a girl I was in love with...And I certainly wouldn't have been caught dead riding a two-seat bicycle with another guy!

[Guinnesso]

What want to fuck you in the butt.

What're you doing this weekend?

[VALENTINEproductions]

This commercial is hilarious.

[Blackardis]

wasn't this commerical shelved because people thought they were trying to say popeye and bluto were gay?? Let me know.

[FireworksFactory]

Minute Maid makes you gay!

[Mysterioso20]

Thing is, this is actually quite a funny little advert. Of all the ads I've ever seen, this isn't too bad - it's sticks in your mind, and may even give rise to a little chuckle.

[Fawksian21]

It wouldn't have been quite as bad without the last scene where Popeye and Bluto ignore Olive Oyl.

[pookerville]

Are Popeye & Bluto having a relationship between each other? If so...

[superleviathan]

I actually love the Fleischer-eque art design on this. It beats the tar out of most other popyey commercials.

[madog20]

hmmmmmm
