The Chopper

Any self-respecting child of the 80's will remember this. The dude is clearly some follower of The Fonz or an escapee from a sad cartoon version of "Grease 2" who sings about the importance of exercising your teeth. Yes. Teeth. "Exercise your choppers with some GOOD HARD FOOD!"

From healthy psa's to viagra commercials. The big tv networks have lost their way.

I never thought I would miss seeing this.

I remember this it was part of the ABC cartoon lineup as a lil boy.

This little short was what actually taught me the different types of teeth, and how they worked: every time I hear about incisors or molars, my mind refers right back to this song.

Oh butch

OH MY GOSH!!! I love this commercial, and glad I finally found it. :D

[TheCaptainSlappy]

I FORGOT this one! AWESOME! Tell me that ain't Ford Fairlane doing that (Andrew Dice Clay).

This commercial had some longevity, as I ended up seeing it in a series of Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show episodes recorded at some point in early 1992.

@acholl980 Didn't know about this being a DePatie-Freleng production.

@TheChachster Except it then said to eat fruit... who's natural sugars destroy the teeth instead...

[MrHotrodjones]

The fat woman trying to do push ups at the begining! lol!

[Ratmaster100]

a grease ripoff!

[lenarends]

Yeah, the health benefits of this one are pretty obscure! :D

I'm guessing this was a way to "dumb down" the subject of eating fiber, for better digestive health?
