CHOCULA FTW

[captainduaeaeaugh]

I still have a box of yummy mummy in my pantry. SCREW THE REST

[marshalljimduncan]

Ive always perferred boo-berry myself

[patrick9648]

The food police made them cut the sugar in the cereal, then they stopped advertising the cereal on the cartoons. Then the FCC made the stations broadcast "educational" programming on Saturday morning which is why Saturday morning cartoons suck, or not on the air anymore at all.  Thank you busy bodies for taking off my cartoons, ruining my childhood memories and destroying our own childrens saturday mornings. boooo!

[crystalpigzmoo]

i'm having count chocula right now!!

[wendyspwnsu]

@crystalpigzmoo im eating some boo berry right now! lol! i love boo berry :3

[Nicholas5832]

LMFAO!!!! Oh lord

[24KBUS]

@sygo7g

You got that right! This is very funny compared to what is on TV now.

[7389]

I remember these commericals. My brother and I used to argue which cereal was better when we were little. LOL

[Fireproofretz]

hm never had Frakenberry in Canada. Chocula tho.mmmm

[Kumkani]

@Fireproofretz we did have it in Canada, it was one of my favourites. I know we had it in Ontario in the mid to late 70s for sure.

[A4moondoggy]

the only thing good about the seventies was the music

[A4moondoggy]

this sygo7g guy is only 33, he sounds like some old fogey but he's not that much older than me and he's talking like he was a kid in the 60's.

[DJonX7]

@sygo7g I agree... lmao and i am a kid of today :\

[raptorinator]

Count Chocula was the shit.

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

Anybody remember the other "Monster" cereal from General Mills? "Fruit Brute" was awesome!

[Mantonization]

It's funny that back then you could basically say 'Yeah, this shit is nothing but sugar' and get away with it. Really says something.

[19ccj65]

Thank you for posting this!

[2red2z]

red wuz here

[imlaughing2death]

Anyone else notice Frankenberry's voice sounds like Boris Karloff (His real voice, not the one he used in Bride of Frankenstein), and Count Chocula's is similar to Bela Lugosi's?

[joeyvader]

@imlaughing2death  and BooBerry was Peter Lorre...

[superfuzz1219]

ill go for chocula cuz i dont want my poop to turn pink or red

[GeneralCane]

Lol @ editing of the cartoon hands.

[elc1960]

They have athletes on the front of Wheaties boxes - they should have stoners with hacky sacks on the front of Count Chocula boxes.

[smellypoti]

i just saw these at pathmark yesterday... for Halloween i guess

[DoctorExplosion]

Man, Count Chocula was wasted on that cereal.

Kids don't need an awesome cartoon vampire to trick them into eating chocolate.

Put the guy on a box of bran flakes. That'll get kids to eat healthy.

[kaboompoop]

Frankenberry's head looks a bit suspect....like a male body part....

[klr181979]

i think frankenberry tatstes different, i got a box around last halloween & dont remember it like that. it was fourecent too. never change whats good.

[sapphiregem1981]

Yup!!

[VictorLepanto]

Wow! "super sweet breakfast cereal." I can't believe they ever sold junk to kids this way. Not that they don't still sell candy as breakfast food, they are just embarrassed about it these days. I have to wonder why diabetes rates aren't in the upper 90% levels.

[MisakiX2]

@VictorLepanto I have to wonder why hippies like you exist, all ya do is moan and groan about peoples' eating habits. It's not you life so fuck yourself and have a nice day!

[VictorLepanto]

@MisakiX2: Go ahead & eat all the marshmellows for breakfast that you want. Just don't encourage my children to do likewise.

[MisakiX2]

@VictorLepanto I have to wonder why hippies like you exist, all ya do is moan and groan about peoples' eating habits. It's not your life so fuck yourself and have a nice day!

[jflameout]

sygo7g i agree...as kids we had it so good!

[aaroncarterfan78]

reminds me of every saturday morning where i used to eat it

[deadling13]

hey Frankenberry head looks like a ass. never noticed that as a kid?

[NiagaraFalls4424]

Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles Rocked too.

[NiagaraFalls4424]

fruity pebbles

[NiagaraFalls4424]

and boo berry the summer of 1974

[mookeychase0907]

@NiagaraFalls4424 You hit it right on the head wit dat one,Boo Berry was the Blue joint.

[NiagaraFalls4424]

i loved them both

[NiagaraFalls4424]

ahh brings back memories of the summer of 1972

[Dalmation09]

where's boo berry?

[pancakewafflebacon]

I have count choculitus

[bellcapn]

MY KIDS LOVE THIS CRAP!!! I DID TOO WHEN I WAS A KID IN THE 80's!!! It goes to show what is good cuz its been around for along time!!

[Hounsfield]

remember when frankenberrry first came out and they used that food dye that didn't break down and you shit bright pink? that was awesome

[FatAintGroovy]

LOL @ Hounsfield

[thepen10]

Oooohhhh I LOVE Frankenberry cereal!! Count Chocula is not bad either. Wish they had it up here in Canada. Whenever we went on vacation to the US, that was the only time I would be able to get any!! God I miss the good ol' days!!!

[Shawnster65]

Oh WOW, this takes me back, really TAKES me back. I was a little tyke in that time, and now at 45, I still love this commercial as much as I did then.

I can still taste the strawberry marshmallows (and the chocolatey marshmallows) and wish I still had my Frankenberry T-Shirt.

Canada didn't have Frankenberry?

To quote Bob and Doug McKenzie, "what kind of hosers are they, eh"? ;-)

"Frankenberry!" "Count Chocula"! Rock on!

[thepen10]

No Canada never got Frankenberry!! We did get Count Chocula later on, like the late 80's or early 90's. It didn't last long though. I do have the box somewhere!! YEAH Frankenberry and Count Chocula ROCK!!! And so does Boo Berry, too!!

[Shawnster65]

Cool, brother!

I was just joking about the Bob and Doug McKenzie thing and the "eh" thing. :-)

But moreover, it does me good to see that our Monster Cereals have reached far and wide and brainwashed the minds and taste buds of the world, hehe ;-)

World domination thru sugar-laden cereals, an idea whose time has come....

[lovelyjessie79]

For some reason it was hard as hell finding

Boo Berry!!!

[64supermarioreturns]

I made my friends old school, I mentioned so much stuff about old days and stuff like that they started to get into it XD

Oldschool one, newschool zero

[TriangleWithRainbow]

Frankenberry is a gangster

[jordanfortuner]

not that old school i like cassets and cds but i dont like i pods

[jordanfortuner]

yeah well most other kids arent like me i was just born into an old school family so i dont like new crap that other kids like like i pods and video games i like to play bass, work out, and ride my 3 wheeler most other kids dont like to do that stuff but your right about most kids

[jordanfortuner]

hey im 12 and completely old school 3 wheelers over 4 wheelers new cartoons suck and i love frankenberry

[cojoiscrazy]

i perfer boo berry thank you very much.

[erick103]

AHAH the count and frankenberry are both pansies!

HAHA afraid of a tiny cat!

amazing! 5 stars!

[sifurich]

I think these commercials are better than the ones we have now. These cereal companies should learn from these commercials.

[panteraboosh]

yah i no the boxes now are just to bright and colorful. i no that sounds stupid but the dull ones from the 70s were better

[OlaDaylax]

A-freakin-Men!

[zzzombie888]

Greatest sugar cereals ever!!!

[YodaBannon]

OH YEAH!!!!

[ralphieboogerbottoms]

Not since Boris Karloff has anyone played the Frankenstein monster so well. Why hasn't Hollywood produced a Monster Cereal movie?

[ContrastY]

as kids we loved this cereal, the boxes and the toys in the boxes.

[BlakJack79]

XDXD We all did, th sweet memories of youtube!!! Man I <3 Boo-berry!!! XDXDXDXD

[neddx]

Now I wanna get my nails painted like strawberries like Frankenberry

[acidtones1]

These commercials didn't get entertaining until the 1980's. But it's cool to see old memories like this.
