"Look, I am a professional happy puppet thing." ......I can't even begin to tell you how many times my boyfriend has said that to get me to play with the elephant trunk loin cloth he bought to use on Valentines day...............If you're reading this Adam, AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
@mkl62@krazykarl0920 that footage was definitely from the 1999 parade because pets.com was one of the most notable failures of the dot com bubble. (it was founded in feb '99, closed nov '00). i don't know why you keep mentioning 1990.
@phoneoperator I typed in the 1990 parade and this came up. Go figure. But I did see the entire 1999 Macy's Parade. I live in South Carolina and the Silver Bluff High Band marched in the parade that year. In 1994, they marched in the Philadelphia Thanksgiving Parade.
Oh wow, I had no idea he was in the Thanksgiving Parade! How appropriate for today! These make me laugh every every every time..."Come on...I see the delivery for the Parakeet"..."I'll give you threee dolllaaars"
I think I love you! I am so excited someone has these up. I loved these commercials so much that I bought the talking puppet when I found it at Toys 'R' Us or somewhere like that. I still have it. And, no, I wouldn't part with for anything less than an obscene amount of money, so forget it.
My favorite was always the Christmas ad, but happy puppet thing and I'm here to play with the tabby cat rank right up there!
man i remember these commercials. can you believe that was already 10 year ago! kinda sad, after the company went belly up the puppet got into those stupid Barnun commercials which makes no sense because its an insurance company and has nothing to do with pets
4. then paste this to 4 other video's, if you do this your crush will kiss you on the nearest friday! But if you read this and did not paste this, then you will have very bad luck
"... purely in an advisory role..." I remember these ads from when I visited the US for Thanksgiving in 2000. Had a great time and wish I'd bought the puppet!
These are great commercials. They make me wish the company was still in business; even though I don't own a pet I might have ordered something from them just because the ads are so much fun and to get one of those cool-looking shipping boxes.
damn, i just watched those commercials for the first time, and i LOVE them! they are hilarious :) i can only imagine the whole buzz around this socket dog and pets dot com, cause it didn't leak to Poland back then ;) too bad.
Yes, these ads are absolutely symbolic of the year 1999 in America. Pets dot comm was the poster company for the dot comm revolution (before it turned into a "bubble") and the ads were played everywhere constantly. Seeing them again is like traveling back to the happy times at the end of the 20th century, before the bubble burst, before the 2000 election, before 9/11, before the Iraq war, before the world went mad.
I was thinking the same thing, except all that Y2K stuff everyone talked about. Funny how these bubbles always burst before an election. What will the world be like in 2016? Its anyone's guess.
TIL that Michael Ian Black was the voice and hand behind the Pets.com dog.
