Cap'n Crunch's very 1st Commercial

This is the very 1st Cap'n Crunch commercial, by Jay Ward Studios. The people who brought us such great classics as Rocky and Bullwinkle, Hoppity Hooper and (the original) George of the Jungle. Of course, they also brought us all of the Quisp and Quake commercials (also for Quaker). It seems that while Quisp and Quake were battling it out over cereal supremacy, the Cap'n showed up and kicked both their asses (and the orange flavored Quangaroos, Quake's replacement) by a wide margin.
From their inception through the 1970's, ALL of the Cap'n Crunch commercials (and all of the Jay Ward made commercials) were like mini-cartoon shows. After the 70's ended, the commercials became lame crap like most of the other kids commercials of the 80's, and have never returned to their previous glory.

After Butler's death, they tried to find a replacement voice for the character; but the actor's delivery was off... he sounded a bit too goofy for my liking.

The voice of Cap'n Crunch was done by voice-actor Daws Butler; who, because of his contracts with Hanna-Barbera (portraying Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, etc.) and Walter Lantz (Smedley the dog in the Chilly Willy cartoons), never got any voice credit in any of Jay Ward's TV shows.

The guy who plays the captain sounds like he's on something

[SixTailights]

That's Yogi Bears' voice!

0:49 These green alien guys look like the Moon Men from Rocky and Bullwinkle, but also resemble Quisp from the old Quisp and Quake commercials.

@handinside Yes they did. The Cap'n stops in to the store and introduces the cereal.

One of the munchers looked like Wilma Flintstone.

When my wife goes on a business trip, instead of having an affair, I just sneak out to the grocery store and buy a box of Cap'n Crunch, making sure to finish it and hide the empty box deep in the trash before she gets home.

Capt. Crunch was great for breakfast and also as a topping for vanilla ice cream, with a drizzle of butterscotch.
