I'd say try making an article for this stuff - having all the posts seperate on here is just kind of jarring. (Also, the main wiki seems to still be more active than the forums)
Problem is, I don’t know how to make an article on the LMW.

Around 2006 or so, I remember seeing a promo on Cartoon Network, and it was (I think) a marathon of Billy and Mandy/Courage or something, and in that promo we see Dracula (as a puppet) talking about the marathon, and there are also walkaround versions of Courage and Grim dancing (or something). That’s all I could remember about that promo. BTW, does anyone know what I’m talking about?

Here’s my article for anyone who has these cereal commercials on their VHS recordings. I will update this once if any cereal commercials are found/lost cereal ads that I’ll add in the future.
1. Trix - Hypnosis - (Part 2; 1994) [Basically, the second part of a 2-Part ad where the rabbit (and 2 kids) goes to see a hypnotist named Dr. Hypnosis, as he tries to hypnotize the rabbit so that he won’t have Trix. All I know is that in the comments section of the 1st part, (which can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sng12C7MKm8&feature=share ) one user claims that in part 2, the rabbit was only pretending to be hypnotized.
2. . Trix - Brighter Colors (Part 2, 1985) - I remember seeing it on YouTube, but I can’t find it anymore. All I know is that in the second part, the rabbit finally gets a pair of shades, and says that “he’s not such a silly rabbit anymore”, (which gives away his disguise) as the bowl is taken down by a trapdoor, a kid tells him “Silly rabbit! New Trix with brighter colors are for kids!”. Afterwards, the announcer tells the viewers that they can get their own pair of shades in marked boxes of Trix. (Part 1 of this ad can be viewed here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsOGz3nnWIw&feature=share )
3. Hollyrock Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles (2000) - Not much is known, but I did remember seeing a second of it on a YouTube video of a GameBoy Color commercial, (the “America the Beautiful” one, and the video started off with Fred saying “-NEY!”, as “BAR” was cut off. Barney then runs off from Fred, as the commercial for the GBC begins) and in the Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles ad “Remix”. (Also on YouTube) I think at the end, Barney is (once again) getting chased by Fred, until he (Fred) gets stuck in cement, causing him to yell “BARNEY!” before Barney ran off with Fred’s bowl of Pebbles/a Pebbles cereal box.
4. HoneyComb - Who Took the HoneyComb? (1998) - I remember seeing it on Adland (back when it was called Commercial Archive), and it was basically the “Mansion” ad from 1997, but at the end, the kids and Craver find out that the HoneyComb cereal is gone. Afterwards, a skeleton (I think) then tells the viewers to find out who took the HoneyComb on marked boxes of HoneyComb cereal. (That’s all I could remember)
5. Froot Loops Jungleberry Swirls - Toucan Monster (1999) - I remember first seeing this on Adland, then on YouTube, but now, I can’t find it. It started out with a howling noise, along with a moon resembling the Jungleberry Swirl loop from Froot Loops, and it turns out to be a ripple from a blue monster, and it then says “Swirls!”, then growls, then says “Fruit!” (or is it “Froot!”?), scares a panicked truck driver, who has giant fruit in his truck, and then the monster again says “Swirls!”, and snarls as an announcer on TV talks about Froot Loops Jungleberry Swirls, then a worker behind the counter screams when he sees the monster, as it heads for the Froot Loops while saying “New Swirls!”, eats the cereal, and is later revealed to be a Toucan Monster, Who howls once more before transforming back into Toucan Sam, who then says “Oops.”, and laughs. It then later turns out to be a stockboy’s dream, as his boss wakes him up by asking him if he’s done with the cereal yet. The stockboy then says that “he’s working on it”. Later, the slogan “The Fruit Taste You Dream About” appears on a trippy Jungleberry Swirls background. (That’s all I could remember from that ad)
6. Trix - Dog (1990’s) - I remember seeing a brief clip of that ad on a YouTube video of a Showbiz Pizza commercial, and it was basically about the rabbit disguising himself as a dog so he can have some Trix, and yeah.
7. Cocoa Pebbles - Remix (2001) - Basically the 2001 “Remix” ad, but with clips from some Cocoa Pebbles ads.
8. Cookie Crisp - Slingshot (2005, American Version) - I know I already did a thread on it, but I wanted to add it just in case.
If anyone has these commercials, please upload them to YouTube. Thanks.

In 2002, Nestlé introduced Cookie Crisp in the UK with an ad for the cereal featuring their mascot Chip the Wolf trying to steal a box of Cookie Crisp via slingshot. In 2005, General Mills in the US introduced Chip the Wolf (who replaced Chip the Dog, a mascot used since 1997, after when General Mills got the rights for the cereal) with this ad, but they changed it. Notable differences are:
- The box itself (duh!)
- Chip’s voice (duh!)
- Cropped to 4:3 (duh!)
- American announcer (quadruple duh!)
I used to remember seeing it a few times on Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network (mostly Nick) as a kid, and now, I can’t find it on the internet, as all searches lead to the UK version. Hopefully, somebody will find it on one of their tapes.

So, when I was young, I remember playing this CD-ROM about tying shoes, and it had a story about this blue and orange snake (who is the “greatest show on earth”) who is looking for any volunteers, and then this girl volunteers, and she ties up the snake like a shoe’s laces. There was also this thing where it teached you how to tie your shoes featuring the blue and orange snake, and yeah. It also contained shoes with blue and orange laces, and a certificate that you could print out for tying your shoes. Does anyone know what i’m talking about, ‘cause I remember seeing it at Chesak School when I was young.

Le Petit Package was a 1999 short film shot in black and white, and created by Matt Stone while he was working alongside with Trey Parker on Comedy Central's TV show, South Park.
---PLOT [FROM AIN'T IT COOL NEWS' WEBSITE; BTW, P***S IS CENSORED DUE TO IT BEING INAPPROPRIATE]---
A car drives up to a park. Matt Stone gets out. He takes a package out of the car. It is a gun. He puts the gun on the ground. He takes off his coat, his shirt, his pants. He is naked. He puts the gun to his head. The French music builds. And suddenly, his p***s to dance to the music. Up and down and up and down. He is happy. It dances left and right and up and down. He smiles. And he dances long with his p***s. A bicyclist drives by, seemingly not noticing. Then, a cop who smiles and waves. Then three unicyclists. Around and around the p***s goes. Then, a guy in a sweater comes by. He drops his pants and his p***s dances too. They both dance and their p*****s dance. Then, a third guy. And a fourth guy. Then, a clown. And a mime. And a black guy. Then a cute girl comes out with a trophy and gives it to the black guy. Then the girl gets on a swing behind the naked, dancing men and swings. Fade to black. The end.
The only existence of this short was a clip used in an early Braniff Airlines logo that can be seen on the unaired pilot of South Park (Ironically, the Braniff logo is from 1996) and it's currently unknown if Matt Stone still has the short film, or not.

History: In 1989, Energizer introduced the Energizer Bunny as their mascot in a commercial for their batteries. The commercial started off with a spoof of the Duracell Bunny ad, as it featured other toy bunnies powering down because of the dead batteries, but only one toy bunny lasts longer than them. Just then, the Energizer Bunny shows up, as the announcer says that Energizer was "never invited to their playoffs", and that "no battery lasts longer than Energizer". Later on, the bunny would be featured in commercials for fake (or real) products that don't exist, like "Sitagin", "Chug-a-Cherry", etc. Afterwards, around 1993, rival company Supervolt tried to get the Energizer Bunny's battery, with famous characters such as King Kong, Wile E. Coyote, and Darth Vader, but they would fail at it, because they would sometimes use Supervolt batteries instead of Energizer's. (For King Kong, Ann shuts the window on Kong's foot, thus making him fall, and for the Wicked Witch, the smoke from her broom triggers a fire sprinkler system, thus making her melt.) Then around 1998, the bunny was updated with a new Advanced Formula Energizer battery, which made him go really fast.
This was only a part of the history of the Energizer Bunny, but let's focus on some commercials I'm looking for:
---ENERGIZER COMMERCIALS I'M LOOKING FOR---
Hostess Twinkies - The ad starts with 2 children telling their mother that they got straight A's again at school, and the mother says that it's "Twinkies Time". Then when she describes the Hostess Twinkies to the viewers, the Energizer Bunny interrupts by marching through the ad, and passing by a box of Hostess Twinkies at the end of the ad.
Purina Cat Chow - The ad starts of with a woman and her cat doing the "chow chow chow", in celebration of Purina Cat Chow, but the Energizer Bunny interrupts the ad by marching through it, which makes the woman and her cat confused by this.
Diet Pepsi (w/ Michael J. Fox) - I think that ad exists, and there's also information on Wikipedia about the Energizer Bunny crossing over with real products/icons, including Michael J. Fox for Diet Pepsi.
If anyone has one of these ads, please talk to me in the comments below.
