  • I remember these and I also remember Onkel Otto the sausage looking guy that went through the telephone wires LOL

  • me gustaron mucho estos enanitos, que ingeniosos los que los crearon......

  • I'm studying German, but I'm a little rusty at it still. Are these guys actually saying anything, or just making gibberish noises?

  • south park old school xDDDD

  • Herrlich---- Das sind noch Erinnerungen und die alte Zeit....

  • Visiting my "Oma" in 1982 when I was eight, this is mostly what I remember from TV because I couldn't understand German!

  • Danke fuers Einstellen! Ricthig toll die Mainzelmaennchen nochmals zu sehen !

  • Super; soo süss die kleinen. Hab mich als kind vor der bettzeit immer auf mainzellmannchen gefreut.

  • Gibt es die in Deutschland eigentlich noch?? Die sind ja süß!

  • Gibt es die in Deutschland eigentlich noch?? Die sind ja so süß!

  • It's kinda like 4chan in TV.

  • Ach, ich liebe diese putzigen, tollpatschigen, erfindungsreichen Kerle und ihr kaum verständliches Gebrabbel...

  • I remember seeing these on TV when I lived in Germany for a year. I bought a small figurine of Mainzelmannchen in the airport giftshop when I returned home.

  • Les frontaliers français saluent cette vidéo, en souvenir de leur jeunesse d'il y au moins 20 ans...

  • Mir gefallen die alten Spots der Mainzelmännchen viel mehr als die neuen. Mag sein das sie der Zeit angepasst sind. Aber die Spots hatten halt was an sich. Es ist schade, daß man nicht mal eine Download von gewissen Spodgrößen vom ZDF bekommen kann.

    Die neuen sind mir zu klobig

  • Genau!

  • I remember this :D nice to see it again

  • Anton der Tolpatsch dm zechstem aaaal!

  • guddn aaaabend!! :-)

  • oh wie schööön! Da kommen Kindheitserinnerungen hoch. Vielen Dank fürs reinstellen. Bei diesen Mainzelmännchen macht's zugucken noch Spaß, anders als bei den jetzigen Leblos-Fratzen :(

  • srry i dont like em :S

  • Wow, I lived in Germany as a child. I haven't seen these guys for about 40 years!

    Wondeful memories.

    Thanks.

    Cheers.

  • Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen! Das sind noch die "richtigen" Mainzelmännchen, die ich als Kind so gern gesehen habe, das war für mich ein Grund, Werbung zu gucken!

  • Da hieß dat auch noch Reklame...

  • Thanks a lot!

  • mehr von den alten spots bitte.die neuen sind langweilig....

  • Hi, I lived in Germany in around 1987-1989. I remember some of these bumpers. I was wondering if you could help me identify another bumper. All I remember is a blue fish shaped character with a little antenna shape on the top of his head. Thanks!

  • Hmm...no idea about that one. Maybe someone else viewing this page will be able to help though! Cheers.

  • It might be Onkel Otto, the mascot of the Hessischer Rundfunk. Although he's grey, not blue, and he's a walrus or a seal or something like this :P

  • Thats it! Thats the one you found him! THank you SO much!!!

  • No problem, i'm always happy to help!

  • @siskavard Onkel Otto?

  • @siskavard its onkel otto of hr-3 (hessian local tv)

  • @siskavard Oh, I know this caracter. He's called "Uncle Otto" (in German: Onkel Otto). It was the caracter for the hessian television division of the"1st German television". If you type "Onkel Otto" into Youtube you can see some full comercial breaks and also short clips.

    thx

  • Hi again! I'd love to have a copy of this clip as they are the original Mainzelmaennchen like what I saw 35 years ago, but all those offered on eBay are more "modernised" and not as good, I think!

  • Hey, I'm going to put a downloadable version of this comp online. It won't be DVD quality, but should still be quite good. I'll send you a link once it's up. I've been getting a lot of requests for this!

  • Vielen Dank! Thank you very much, that's great. Best wishes.

  • Thank you!! These are among my FAVOURITE characters, but totally unknown in Britain. Why? Insular, anti-European attitudes here, unfortunately.

  • You're welcome. I've never seen them here in the US either, so I'm happy to spread the love. Cheers!

  • You're welcome! I was surprised not to find more of these videos on youtube — they're great!
