ideal toys

[SCLARK2112]

if you wont buy us well bite you in the leg

[andyjay729]

Jeez, when did Kermit join the Mob?

[loriloristuff]

I love this because it has that rare Muppet, Snerf. :-)

[peternoer]

Snarf is what Jim based his "Purple necked black bearded Blatch" muppet pattern fhat was featured in a holiday 1968 Women's Day Magazine. He designed 5 kid-hand sized character patterns for that issue. a cute puppet script was included.

[peternoer]

@peternoer Jerry Juhl was the writer of the script...

[sonapullen]

I like when the ideal toys go crazy on Rowlf.

[pyrogyra72]

"...And if you don't buy us, we'll break both your arms." Guess I'd better go on eBay right now.

[128djxcel]

the lil spider's name is snark or snarf?? is it even a spider??  lol

[Pikachu4352]

@128djxcel It'a a Snerf

[edmon6]

lol "get away from me" at the end

[imaniluva6]

HOWDY

[DuhhMuffin]

Hahahaahaha xD

[Tareltonlives]

Mini Kermits: they'll kill you

[muppetlover16]

@Tareltonlives These two mini-Kermits inspired the Bad Idea Bears

[cheeto37]

I want it!

[cheeto37]

I'm just saying this cause I'm a muppet fan but this is a cool commercial

[Tulkastaldo]

A puppet trying to sell his fellow puppets. I wish commercials were still as bizarre as this.

[hoopersghost]

This is the same Rowlf who does comedy in the Muppet Theater and counts lights on Sesame Street? Whew...Jim Henson must have been a real Jekyll and Hyde!

[Superstarseven]

@hoopersghost When did Rowlf appear on Sesame Street?

[hoopersghost]

@Superstarseven: Only once--in a Season 1 film (also made by Jim Henson); search for "Sesame Street baker #9" and it should turn up here on YouTube, At 0:52 on that clip, Rowlf counts the nine lights I alluded to in my last comment.

[SleepyShippo]

OMG! LOL That was funny and disturbing all at once! Loved it!

[boobiekinz]

violence....makes me wants toys.....primal instincts engaged....transwarping to 1966......

[crodgers100]

Wonder if they're on ebay, those are probably collectable.

[teenangel93]

Rowlf <333

[WaggonerCartoons3]

Best, Commercial, EVER.

[Dunes]

LOL! Man that was freakin'funny! JH rules!

[RabbitDance]

I want one of the spiders!!!

[collgoff]

This video is really crazy!

[MarioZone69]

I still wonder why they didn't sell Snerf.

[Triad3Force]

Muppets are hardcore, man! So if you don't buy them AND you don't watch their show- they bust a cap in yo ass!

[bitchingood]

HAHAHAAAAA

[tkemert20]

"So buy us-at once-a bundle of charms-and if you don't buy us,we'll break both your arms!"

Damn Muppets Were Cool Back Then....

[slipperywhenwet5]

if u keep adverting ur channel(and this goes for everyone doing it) ppl actually want to watch ur vids less

[FlyingDuckMan360]

If I Buy You, Kermit, You Have to Promise Not to Bite My Leg Or Break My Arms.

[NiceGreenGirl]

I Agree,AGREE!

[casaverde100]

In the book Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell tells us that all of the Muppets started out in edgy tv commercials, including Big Bird! Who would of thunk it?

[zymaymyn]

So Kermit the pre-frog was being sold too huh? I bet they're worth a fortune now on eBay.

[raposofan]

"I-am-a-Kermit"

"A" Kermit

Please God help, I've hemorrhaged inside laughing at how Jim did that...

[Pooleman96]

"So buy us-at once-a bundle of charms-and if you don't buy us,we'll break both your arms!"

Holy smokes! And from the mouth of the original Kermit,too! If Elmo had this kind of snark,his Tickle-Me doll would be in this as well.

[Humbledingify]

@Pooleman96 " You'll have fun with us, there isn't a doubt, and if you don't buy us we'll scratch your eyes out!"

[Pooleman96]

@Humbledingify Good one, although they'd probably say POKE your eyes out rather than scratch but that's just me.

[Wh3nYour3Strang3]

@Pooleman96 Kermit always did have a violent streak. Do a search for "Wilkins Coffee"

[Pooleman96]

@Wh3nYour3Strang3 Actually, that WASN'T Kermit in the Wilkins Coffee ads. It was Wilkins in those commercials, whose regular target was named Won'tkins.

[Wh3nYour3Strang3]

@Pooleman96 Oh. I wasn't aware of their names. Wilkins does seem to be a Kermit prototype, though.

[Pooleman96]

@Wh3nYour3Strang3 Actually, "prototype" Kermit first appeared on "Sam & Friends".

[TheMattwolf]

I don't remember the stretchy-necked dude.

[peternoer]

there was a puppet pattern for somthing like him in '68 called the "purple-necked Black-bearded Blatch.

[Basssinger86]

I know these commericals are supposed to be cute, and they are. But I would think that kids would be scared by Kermit.

[Akira625]

The Snerfs here are more spidery than the ones seen on the Muppet Show.

[superleviathan]

Shades of Wilkins Coffee here, what with the Kermit puppet's threats.

I wish the people who write for the Muppets nowadays (and try to make them edgy)would watch this and discover what Muppet edge REALLY is.

[peternoer]

i think that Edge died when Jim H. Died.

[BlueParatroopa]

Bring back the Snerfs!

[teenangel93]

I WANT ONE!! <3

[NemoSchitt]

Fuck Rowlf!

[TheMattwolf]

Doggie style, I suppose.

Why be so hard on him? He's already got a hand up his ass all the way to his eyeballs!

[dorourke105]

Oh buy us oh buy us we are quite the best,for if you don't buy us we'll shoot you in the chest they should've said that.

[stitch1993]

I want one of those little slurf puppets or whatever they were called.

[b3d]

Pretty good stuff!

[caa1000]

Was this a TV ad or a demo for a toy fair or something?

[MptLvr]

I think that this was from a Muppet event from this past weekend in Huntington, NY. I was there and it appeared just like this.

[LaDracul]

Do you have a clip of a Goldie Hawn special where she kisses Kermit, then turns into a muppet, and when she kisses Jim Nabors he turns into a snerf, and when he kisses Ruth Buzzi, she turns into a snerf?

(A mouthful, but sounds cute. :) )

[Spongebob1000]

I have seen the Ideal Toys logo on The Magilla Gorilla Show Original Opening on this website.

[culpit]

I like those Kermit puppets and the way they threatened us to buy them.

[jonnytbird]

Nice to see that you're bringing back all these classic old muppet commercials.

[peysine]

awesom!

[Debsangel]

Hilarious!

[dadogster]

Oh Buy Us, Oh Buy Us, Oh buy us we beg, for if you don't buy us well break both of your legs. Great bit.

[disneynut06]

Bet you'll never hear anything that threatening or violent coming out of Kermit's mouth today. :D

[Evelsbro]

And it's too bad, too. I recently did a show with a Witch in it and one of the mothers said: "Well...the witch was a little...scary...". It's a WITCH, it's SUPPOSED to be scary!

[wojtaljr]

best commercial ever

[TsWade2]

Hahaha so cute. Rowlf is so cute.
