Early Animated Smokey Bear Commercial

[GN0MEz]

lol

[SouthParkBear]

That kid has the same voice as Rocky the Flying Squirrel

[EarTipper]

@ 15 & 21 seconds, the forest sounds alot like the city; shady places, wildlife...

[KaeruthePaladin]

I don't understand the need for smokey, I mean what kind of a dumbass has a problem with starting forest fires on a regular basis by way of careless mistake?

You have some problems if there's a significantly increased risk of a forest fire everytime you go camping. What did people do for fun in the 40s? Throw their half emtpy gas cans in the woods after some good 'ol timey drunken fart lightin' and moltov chunkin contests?

[SouthParkBear]

@KaeruthePaladin

People just figured that their campfire would go out on its own, and so they'd just leave it burning. .

[robbibubnj]

The kid's voice is none other than Bill Mumy (from Lost In Space Wil Robinson fame). Cool guy, great actor.

[dolphinluv2413]

Is that Paul Frees narrating?

[mcrbillytalent]

ted williams is older than i thought :L

[automaticoweb]

Anybody know what the music in this clip is?

Thanks!

[ThatOneVideoGame]

is this how furries got started?

[RaVaGeClan]

if i saw the giant bear that wears a hat and jeans and sounds like buba, i think id rather jump in the fire.

[jbchampion82]

We need him in NSW and Vic, not just NY and CT....

[thesailormercury1]

is this the  1st psa of smokey the bear

[dogman15]

That kid sounds like Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown's first actor was Peter Robbins, so maybe that's him? Jackson Weaver did Smokey's voice, but who was the announcer?

[67nairb]

@dogman15 The late Paul Frees.

[dogman15]

@67nairb: Ah, yes. Ludwig von Drake's voice.

[67nairb]

@dogman15 As well Boris Badenov, Burgermeister Meisterburger, Eon the Terrible, Santa Claus in a number of Rankin-Bass holiday specials, Squiddly Diddly, and the ghost host for the Haunted Mansion Ride at Walt Disney World.

I just saw this ad at The Paley Center for Media the other day (formerly The Museum of TV and Radio). They have a lot of classic PSAs, they never get old! :)

[Bobaklives]

Smokey don't need a shirt!

[kingmanted]

Some computer nerd needs to get some video editor and make a picture of smokey and a caption that reads "smokey's gonna kick yo ass"

[nicholascool12]

This scared me like hell when i was a kid when i was 5 i had nightmares he was gonna rape my parents and eat me

[xbearcanrockx]

@nicholascool12 WTF.. your parents must have put E in your milk when you were a baby...

How is this supposed to be scary? it's supposed to teach kids safety...

bears don't eat people, especially not cartoon bears. they only attack in self defense.

[GiratinaOriginAwakes]

@xbearcanrockx When i was a kid i burned down a tree... Now i see smokey in my nightmares... I say...

SMOKEY THE BEAR IS GONNA FUCKING KILL ME!!

[xbearcanrockx]

@GiratinaOriginAwakes Why did you burn down the poor, defenseless tree? That was a pretty rude thing to do.. What did the tree do to deserve that kind of treatment? You didn't like the tree or were you just trying to get some attention... <_<

[GiratinaOriginAwakes]

@xbearcanrockx The tree is evil i tell you!

[xbearcanrockx]

@GiratinaOriginAwakes that's interesting... never heard of that before.. How is the tree evil?

[Link07250]

This is more funny than most of the new Nick shows, for example Fanboy and Chum Chum.

[LADYSEASTAR]

Keep up the great work, Smokey!

[stevostevie]

I came.

[cornflakes002]

Pause at 0:16 and it allmost looks like fallout 3 from x box :)

[billboncasey]

1952

[weiner66]

just remember, if you own a penis and get burned up in a forest fire, your penis will look like it was forgotten on the grill ill ill ill ill ill ill

[gilcritch]

Haha i love these old commercials

[redrosestoo]

Nice 60's era PSA for Smokey! Not too keen about the obvious clear cut timberland though!

Does anyone else recognize the narrator as Paul Frees, the voice of Santa Claus from Frosty the Snowman?"

[Jakeman3]

@redrosestoo Oh yes. That's Paul (RIP). His voice is also all over Disneyland.

[tdickensheets]

Is black and white TV commercial. 1950's or 1960'.
