If Nabisco and Kraft bring back Big Fig, Harvey Fierstein would be perfect for the role!

I had totally forgotten about this commercial till I stumbled upn this by accident..Cute,silly and original is they way they made tv commercials back in those days

[tredwest]

Thank you so much for posting this! I loved that silly song when I was a kid.

Hadn't thought about it in decades.

Cheers!

[odinvonzero]

This song haunted me for so long, I almost wondered if I made it up. Was he a Fruit of the Loom reject, or a failed live-action version of Time For Timer?

[dayofami]

everybody here PLEASE participate with me on this. I have NO life, my life has taken a vacation when I was a small child and it has never returned :( I look at this abandonment and see the glass half full tho. So I come here on youtube, this time searching "fig newtons.. cuz i just ate some:) delicious, and I write, usually pointless comments, but no_ this time I write a comment of meaning, a comment of significance. Im going thru tons of vids on youtube raising the question "Pacino or Cosby?"

[dayofami]

Who's going to die first? Place your bets. Bill Cosby or Al Pacino.. I mean, come on they're old as hell.

[MrJiveturkey88]

@dayofami it doesn,t matter who dies first cause death has no age limit old,young, anybody can die at anytime if God see that's it's your time so i pray that we all come to a understanding of this that the next day is never promise to anyone of us but always keep God first in everything you do stay bless my friend

[bellshock]

Hahhah!! I wanna be a "BiG Fig" for Halloween! XD

[Julian9ehp]

@bellshock My schoolmate was a Big Fig Newton. Of course, she had a stay-at-home mother who had time to sew her costume.

[AddictiveFidolizer]

Yup, the original...

Good times...

good times...

[KittyKazooTV]

How much are you getting paid Mr. Big Fig??

[jacquesjunk]

I never would've thought that anyone else in the world would remember this, nevermind have this and post it. That's incredible. For some reason, this commercial used to make me laugh so hard when I was a kid. Thank you.

[fred30680]

Ever get one of those tunes stuck in your head and can not remember the whole thing. I remembered the ooee gooey rich and chewy part. After a month or so that is it. Now if I could just learn the dance.lol.

[IanKabraRox]

I will now hum this for hours :]

[marioTmaggot]

I rememberthis commercial. The guy in the commercial used to do a lot of cartoon voices in the 70's and 80's

[17ForeverAlways]

my uncle sings this song . .

[143AC]

I was lucky enough to meet Mr.Harder(AKA "Big Fig")in NYC years ago.

A sweet and kindly gentleman and he's wonderful in this tv plug for Nabisco's

"Fig Newton"cookies. I'm sorry to hear that he left us..(Crying)Goodbye Jim.

[jigglar]

Great commercial. That was probably around 1973 or 1974. The vocals and piano in that music kinda reminds me of Captain & Tennille tunes.

[roost24]

I am eating fig newtons and decided to type it into Youtube. The internet rules

[mower]

[24klc67]

They sure don't make commercials like this anymore. This one is a CLASSIC.

[DonnR88]

My 3 year old son loves this commercial. He even does the "tricky part". A classic commercial.

[buzzlewie]

A great classic, "Hit it Hal."

[snowrocket]

I remember this commercial like it was yesterday! A truely catchy instant classic.

[24klc67]

So do I, snowrocket. Once I saw this commercial, I told my mom to get me some Fig Newtons when she went to the grocery store. It's a classic.

[snowrocket]

And then when you tasted it, you thought, "is it good? Darn tootin'!".
