Cereal commercials from the 1960s and 70s

[lalala6751]

I remember most of that honeycomb commercial (the song, kids, etc.) but I don't remember big Matilda. lol

[JamesTheScot]

@MyRenaissance1 You sure about that? I thought Honey Smacks had the frog as the character.

[bingobongo445]

Now days big Matilda is about 500 LBS, and couldn't throw a basketball if her life depended on it.

[ultradasilva]

SUPER SUGAR?

[TehFunnehMann]

0:17 Oh big titties?

[JohannaGotTalent41]

I remeber sugar bear what happened to him??

[mainmedic]

@JohannaGotTalent41 He passed away due to complications from diabetes

[pbanta62]

(1:37) Wow, I grew up with these commercials and this is the first time I saw one with Tony the Tiger running around on all-fours! Thanks for posting that.

[AdamCartwrightILoveU]

Oh these were the days when the commercials were almost as entertaining as the program you were watching.

[kgrueschowjr2010]

Big Matilda should join the Cavaliers, they need all the help they can get!

[marilisa616]

I can still sing the Honeycomb commercial. And Don Messick did Boo Boo Bear on Yogi Bear also (thanks for reminding me that he did the RB sun, too),

[PunchinTheMunchkin]

2:05

[DanArk0403]

Is Big Matilda Mariette Hartley?

[Msgensie19]

@DanArk0403

No. She is my friend.

[superjtrdr]

I remember the days when children use to exercise.Fattening food was necessary just to keep the metabolism at normal levels.

[Bushmillspunk]

I'd climb Big Matilda like a jungle gym. XD

[dpeab11370]

hit pause at 2:30 and look at that kids teeth!! Last thing he needs is sugar coated cereal!! Has a mouth like a horse! LOL! Only in the 70's would they put a kid that ugly in a tv commercial. good times!

[BigBlueBeast]

Tony the Tiger rarely gets mad in a Frosted Flakes commercial.

[Edned4]

What? no Freakies? XD

[ValEGwangi]

@Edned4 Freakies RULED!!! If I had a time machine, I'd go back and buy cases of of it! I wish I'd saved my magnets.

[Wehrhafter]

super sugar gives you super diabetes

[Sheri451]

Doctors have proved that sugar does not makes children hyper. It's the caffeine. The raisin Bran voice sounded like Elroy Jetson. Was the girl in the Honey Comb commercial on The New Mickey Mouse Club? The one with the red scarf on her head? I can remember that Frosted Flakes commercial at the end.

[yardlet6]

@Sheri451 The sun was Don Messick who also did Muttley,Elroy and other Hanna Barbera characters.

[yardlet6]

@yardlet6 Oops my bad,it was Daws Butler but Messick did Muttley.

[screamwriter1]

Can't get enough of that low blood sugercrisp.

[TheZepmeister]

Oh God!! Don't mention sugar in the name of your product!! Oh I forgot, big daddy govt. already made them change the names. Whew!! We're all safe now. Isn't it strange how back when these ads were made most kids carried a normal weight? But now with all the forced regulations on food nutrition labeling over half of our children are obese?

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

Tony The Tiger's voice , Thurl Ravenscroft..he also sang back-up for Elvis Presley, and sang the themesong for "Starblazers" Anime. Died of prostate cancer about 5 years ago.

[StormsongK]

Matilda's a big girl, all right. ;) Way to get the dads watching the commercials.

[ronson232]

Only in the 70's would boasting that a kids' cereal is "coated with super sugar" somehow be considered a good thing...

[MayorCDoats]

@ronson232 and then to say it's "part of a balanced breakfast"!

[johnlp]

..also Tony the Tiger was voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft who sang "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch".

[johnlp]

That's Daws Butler ( Elroy Jetson's) voice on the Rasin Bran commercial.

[lukestatooinebuyers]

listen to what the winter man says at 0:19

[professor1966]

The Raisin Bran commercial looks like something I would have seen on "Captain Kangaroo"..

[BlueParatroopa]

Sugar Crisp makes you gay, apparently.

[fixedgearplanet]

what do you mean? did you eat alot of it?

[BlueParatroopa]

No, it was a joke about what happened to the winter guy.

[PaOsfan]

Oh gee, I remember most of these.

[drryles]

I remember most of these...Good memories

Best,

Dr. Ryles

[80sCommercialVault]

???

None of these are from the 80's.

[ToonORama]

Our error! Thanks for the correction.

[tannis85]

sugar crisps taste like ass argh!

[PSYCHEDELICDAISY]

The Raisin Bran Sun has the same voice as Elroy Jetson

[Mackadoeshez]

Good stuff!lol

[therearefreasamongus]

Great finds!
