Golliwogs were just innocent stuffed toys. All the claims of racism came since the world went mad with politically correctness.

I remember this advert, it was from around 1983 I think? Funny, trippy and very weird, lol he actually sticks the knife in his eye at 0:16.

Thanks for uploading this one, made me smile

Golly's are the most awesome thing which happened to Robertson's, they are not racist at all. Although paddington bear is good I would like them to bring golly back!

[Dodger0107]

It's a golly wog or a fuzzy wozzy

how could ya get upset over that, unless ya look like a fuckin gollywog.

[outlawformetal614]

well im black and ive never seen a golliwog until now

i dont think it was meant to be racist,its not even doing anything its just like...eating.

i can see how today this could make people mad though

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

It doesn't even look like a golliwog. I don't get the big deal.

@lillblomst84 shutup you cock, i never looked at a bottle of marmalade and oh look an "African american slave " oh how nice, i just saw a golliwog and thats all

when i was little and Floella Benjamin was on Playschool i didn't see a black woman, i just saw a woman

when i saw these adverts i didn't see a black man at all, i just saw a golliwog.

in the same way when i watched Rupert i knew bears don't really wear checked trousers and matching scarf

[MrMoss2001]

I've got a Golliwog my mum made me in the late 80's when I was about 5 loved it to bits and it's a shame that the pc brigade have to spoil what in essence is a child's toy

Additionally, you should actually read and learn about Golliwogs. Try looking up Golliwog on the internet, and read about the background.

[lilleblomst84]

The reason that people think Golliwogs are racist, is because they look like a african american 'slave' stereotype. We are more educated now to know that it isn't good to stereotype a group of people (passive racism), therefore Golliwogs are outdated.
