Television Commercials: Cereal

Created by HarrisDaver in Entertainment Created 05-15-09 Updated: 05-15-09
Everyone likes cereal, it's quick and it's easy and it's cereal. Throughout its long history, cereal has been responsible for some of the most interesting mascots and cartoony commercials.

Here are some of them.

    Everybody knows that Trix are for kids. I've never been completely sure why that is- maybe the stale sweetness of the artificially colored balls is incapable of being enjoyed by anyone with a pallet- but so it is written, so it shall be.

    One commercial plotline involved the rabbit so desperate to obtain the cereal that he enters a bicycle race masquerading as a human being to get the prize: a bowl of Trix. He wins fair and square but because he is a rabbit, he was forbidden from winning the prize. That is unless he received more votes in a phone-in contest put out to the television viewers.

    Luckily, justice prevailed and he won the bowl. Unfortunately, he was never fully accepted by the community and is still desperate for a second.

    Having a cereal mascot be an old school Irish cop chasing an old school masked bandit with his masked bandit dog is a unique choice to sell cereal that tastes horrible and somewhat looks like cookies.

    Then they took out the cop and robber and just made the mascot the law abiding dog. And, unknown to me before my research for this list, they changed the dog to a wily looking wolf thing.

    Nothing much to add here except how disappointing it is that they replaced the original mascots with such a generic looking non-entity. Sure the original trio made no sense but it's not any more crazy than a wolf in a windbreaker.

    Cereal tie-ins to popular movies and shows aren't new. They always taste like shit and the pieces end up being reused for the next crappy tie-in cereal. Among the worst of these excesses was Urkel-Os, a cereal based on stalker pest Steve Urkel from Family Matters.

    Whether it's because of my crappy video finding skills or Youtube's fascist regime to remove copyrighted material from their site, I am unable to present to you the commercial I have in mind. However, if my description is any decent, you'll probably know what I am talking about.

    The commercial begins with one of the elves, bakers, imps- whatever they are- outside the box looking for his other two friends. He listens into the nearby cereal box where he hears the other two making loud sounds, as though they were having a lot of naughty fun inside the box.

    The box opens, and they weren't fucking, but making rice krispies treats, complete with the white gooey substance that holds it together.

    But, all things considered, they were probably fucking.

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch was originally the tale of three bakers: Wendell and two others who were unnamed. In the late 90s/early 2000s the commercials had a plotline where Wendell, the lead baker, was missing and his other two comrades had to find him. It was quite suspenseful. Eventually, the three are reunited.

    Then, when a new round of commercials began, the other two bakers were completely absent never to be mentioned again.
