I found it, the whole commercial, unedited!

OK backstory: I have OCD hoarding disorder so I have literally EVERY SINGLE RECORDING on vhs that I ever made, still in my house, since I was literally THREE YEARS OLD...

On an ancient DVD/VHS rip, I found a low quality but completely unedited version of the Chuckles the Clown 1800 commercial! It was played during a commercial during an episode of USA Cartoon Express, which I also have unedited, as well as a second, unrelated 1800 number involving a different live-action clown!

I mentioned in the wiki post for Chuckles the Clown that I was literally CERTAIN that I had it because of my hoarding disorder and because my late Grandmother, rest her soul, used to save everything I asked her to. "Nanny" was her nickname in case you're wondering. She saved EVERY VIDEO that I ever recorded, so did my mom when I was a kid and when I saw this All Things Lost video on YT his description immediately sparked a memory. So I looked and looked through videos I re-recorded onto DVDs and I found it in about an hour and a half!

I have no idea as to how to upload it but I have found it and if anyone has any knowledge of how to take a grainy low-quality DVD re-recording and put it on YouTube then I can put it on my page today, and it matches the description to the letter! What next?!

that’s great! are you able to record it with a phone/camera? if you can’t rip it, or can’t right now, you should probably do that

I also suggest posting the video on the Internet Archive once you get a clean rip of it

Wow this is awesome, can’t wait to see it! Can you please upload both Clown commercials? I wonder if you have any other lost media considering you kept all your recordings. Hopefully we can find the Easter Bunny version as well.

This year seems to be a great year for finding commercial lost media. First the demon lady and Subway ad, and now this

Jesus Lord I just re-watched my video, and WOW the sound is terrible, but I intend to do a much better recording job, both on YT and whenever I figure out how to do the Internet Archive video. HOWEVER despite my piss poor skills and having to record it on a phone that was old when Christ walked the Earth, you can clearly see (and possibly hear?) the entire unedited commercial. I will make a better recording later tonight with better sound, and a recording of the other clown 1-900 number!

(sidenote: if you check out my YT page, also called ThatGamingAsshole, plz forgive my other videos comprised of rambling political diatribes, I'm a jaded ex-Liberal, Black guy)

Anywho. Should I upload it on the forums or on the wiki page itself?

I’d say upload it to both this thread and update the wiki page with the video and the info about you finding it. Have you looked into possibly ripping the DVD?

Uhhh...I'm not sure about ripping the DVD. I don't want to screw it up, but I will be making a much better copy.

Interesting to see the lyrics were almost correct. We now know the company behind the ad: “Phone Medium. Inc.”. Do you know the date of the airing? You might be able to tell by other shows on it, etc.

By looking at the premiere date of some other shows on the video, it was likely sometime in November of 1987, because it was on the same tape as a Teddy Ruxpin episode from that same date.
