I did count the licks once when I was a kid, tallying as I went so I wouldn't lose count. I was going to write to the company to let them know, but I lost the paper with my count on it, and I couldn't remember the number. My tongue hurt for days, and it was all for nothing.
@@kane2742 I feel certain that these ads coming out in the 70’s when I was little were somehow foundational to my reflexively laughing wildly at FarSide comic strips by 5th grade. Thanks to said commercials, I intuitively just “got” Larson’s use of anthropomorphic animals as humor - though his were comedically muuoooch 🐄 than Tootsie Pop’s. I know, you’re thinking I was clearly intellectually suuuuper advanced when you read such a high IQ evidentiary comment like this, huh? Sorry for bragging…🍭 😏
I love how the premise of the commercial is to goad people into buying the lollipop so they can be the one who figures out how many licks it takes to get to the center of it.
Classic ad? Nice! A break from awful ads? Even better! Also, I can't look at this ad without thinking of the jokes made by the Nostalgia Critic, where he said the owl had a Terminator-like stare when opening his eyes, and the turtle was looking at the kid's junk.
I may never see this commercial the same again, perfect! A (genuine) Thank you Also, the turtle might not have been looking at the boy's junk. He could have just been lowering his head so that he could see over his reading glasses, old man style. (though he did neglect to lift the eyes to the boy's face in the process).
I grew up in this time. Not only is this Sin video great on it's own, it's the first time I'd ever seen the long version of this commercial. I didn't know it existed. It normally started with the turtle and went to the end.
I love that this commercial got sinned. This commercial came out (for my viewing) when I was a preteen. I am in my early 40s and still find myself saying, "Onnnne, Twoooo, Thrrrreeee! Thrrrrreeeee!" for random counting incidences.
I don't want to be weird about this, more accurately wanting to call the animation weird but why did they draw the kid with a perfectly round dumptruck?
When I was in elementary school a kid did his science fair project on this. It all boiled down to the amount varying depending on the size of a persons tongue. If they had a bigger(wider) tongue it takes fewer licks than someone with a smaller(narrower) tongue.
"Cleverer than me". works because you're using than as a preposition. "Cleverer than I am." also works because you're using it as a conjunction. It is grammatically acceptable to shorten the sentence by dropping the "am" at the end. So the cow was technically correct.
Excellent. But, the candy shell was harder on the Blow Pop than it was on the Tootsie Roll Pop, as it would disolve holes/slits would form that could cut my taste buds up. Otherwise, I liked either.
Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that all this time, I have been watching an edited version of this classic commercial? I never knew there was a Mr. Cow or a Mr. Fox or that Mr. Turtle had extra dialogue. Now I need to find this extended version! Also, not sinning the fact that the kid is literally walking through a forest naked? If Nostalgia Critic can point that out, why can't you have sinned it? That would bring the sin count up to an even number, which is good because I hate counting that ends up with an odd number, especially if that number ends with "1."
3:17 - FALSE. If you make it to your 32nd birthday, at some point in the previous chronological year, it will have been the number of days you've been alive.
I lived in the Bay Area, California when this commecial started airing in the early 90s (or re-airing). The entire commecial was shown. Anybody who never got to see the entire commercial (including the cow and the fox) missed out. I am sorry for you!
never seen the whole uncut version before. Completed it sounds like they wan ted to do a Peanuts Sketch but couldn't get the rights. Also interesting that this add will be cut to just turtle and owl then cut again to just owl. Also interesting how some adds just stay on air for decades while other adds get pulled off and never seen again.
Bellarmine University estimated it would take between 70-200 licks dependant on tongue moistness, tongue texture, tongue size, duration of lick, and sucker thickness. There's other studies that vary widely though, most likely due to the factors listed above.
1. How can the turtle bite?? It has no teeth 2. I never knew about the cow and the fox til today lol 3. I was waiting for a joke about him being nude lmao
I've always had so many questions about this commercial. Why is the kid naked, why are they in a psychedelic world (1970s not withstanding), did the kid die eating a tootsie pop and his eternal punishment is this endless cycle, do the animals produce the candy since this kid is the only human alive? So many unanswered questions!

Sure you did Kane, sure you did.
You probably should have let your tongue dry out, it might have hurt less. Excellent attempt, though.
@@HilaryPea From what I remember, I think it was more like a pulled muscle from the repeated licking motions.

We should start a class-action lawsuit.
We should, also, advertise it on both midday and late night television.

"I'm surprised this turtle doesn't die in the middle of this question" LMAO
I have a theory that the Mr. Owl is the father of the Duolingo Owl.
This is what I thought Commercial Sins was going to be, sinning classic commercials. This on great and funny, and I hope we get more like these 👍👍
I grew up in this time. Not only is this Sin video great on it's own, it's the first time I'd ever seen the long version of this commercial. I didn't know it existed. It normally started with the turtle and went to the end.
I remember seeing the full version a few times before they cut it way back.
I haven't ever seen the long version. I remember TVland played the short version.
Ha!
TVLand
and
Nick-At-Night
I like the way Mr. Owl says two!
I had no idea this commercial had anymore than the owl portion. I was shocked when I saw the cow.
I remember the turtle, but not the cow or the fox!
I love that this commercial got sinned. This commercial came out (for my viewing) when I was a preteen. I am in my early 40s and still find myself saying, "Onnnne, Twoooo, Thrrrreeee! Thrrrrreeeee!" for random counting incidences.
Great commercial that still get played on air sometimes!
Not nearly often enough for me!
Eww.
These old 70's commercials feel dirty.
Like with dirt.
And cigarette stains.
Everything was sickly.
I don't want to be weird about this, more accurately wanting to call the animation weird
but why did they draw the kid with a perfectly round dumptruck?
3:38 I’m shocked that he didn’t mention that the kid looked like he wasn’t wearing clothes! 😳
Oh snap! Someone else noticed this, too! lol
@@jimb.7523 We don't see any hint of his willy, so maybe he just has a big dumpy. And his clothes are the exact same color as his skin...
This mere child has more pressing concerns about them,
than your antiquated conceptions of modesty.
✌🤪
I’ve never seen the fox and cow part of this commercial before.
it's a longer version that is rarely seen
I didn’t realize there was more to the commercial outside the boy’s interaction with the owl
Amazing lol. Today I learned that there was a long version of the commercial.
Sin on the stereotype of the educated owl.
Are we just going to ignore the turtle with TOES?
That kid is the voice of Charlie Brown
Only a maniac counts eat lick tell that to Mat Pat from food theory.
I mean, he's got one or two screws loose. At least.
If you want to know how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop...
Well, MatPat from Food Theory has the answer.
BRUH
Hey I was just about to comment that.....its a really interesting video
Mr. Fox is the cleverer person because he knows that "He's cleverer than I" is accurate.
Yes, because the "am" at the end of the sentence is implied. I agreed with this when I heard that sin.
Maybe that's why they were one sin short at the very end.
@@Daviticus042 Good possibility!
It's "clevererer"
@@HilaryPea Used an "I" because ya can't end a sentence with an "am" nor a "me".
When I was in elementary school a kid did his science fair project on this. It all boiled down to the amount varying depending on the size of a persons tongue. If they had a bigger(wider) tongue it takes fewer licks than someone with a smaller(narrower) tongue.
I feel as though amount and enzyme chemistry of saliva would be a variable as well... but maybe that's getting to a middle school level of it
"Cleverer than me". works because you're using than as a preposition. "Cleverer than I am." also works because you're using it as a conjunction. It is grammatically acceptable to shorten the sentence by dropping the "am" at the end.
So the cow was technically correct.
...the best kind of correct!
Lol For me, it took 2,456. I did it back in 2014. Real story. Jaw hurt so bad, I thought I had lockjaw.
We now know how many licks it takes:364 at the most. Now we need to know how many licks to get to the center of a "blowpop"🍭
Excellent. But, the candy shell was harder on the Blow Pop than it was on the Tootsie Roll Pop, as it would disolve holes/slits would form that could cut my taste buds up. Otherwise, I liked either.
Lol, I swear I never remembered that cow or fox :)
Much cleverer than I is actually correct 😂
Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that all this time, I have been watching an edited version of this classic commercial? I never knew there was a Mr. Cow or a Mr. Fox or that Mr. Turtle had extra dialogue. Now I need to find this extended version!
Also, not sinning the fact that the kid is literally walking through a forest naked? If Nostalgia Critic can point that out, why can't you have sinned it? That would bring the sin count up to an even number, which is good because I hate counting that ends up with an odd number, especially if that number ends with "1."
Any other 90s kids remember the insane killer robot version of this commercial?
Hahaaaa. Loved this ad. Even i tried it and got tired of counting the licks and said to hell with it all
I'm really liking the new format for Commercial Sins!
Food theory!
You forgot one:
Kids. *D I N G*
The sinning ends at 11402, yet at the final tally, it said 11401. Yeah, you might want to check that...
By definition, the Cow had to be female.
3:17 - FALSE. If you make it to your 32nd birthday, at some point in the previous chronological year, it will have been the number of days you've been alive.
Mr Owl ate my metal worm.

Yeah, I only remembered the commercial with the owl, so I was confused for a bit, lol
A vintage fucking commercial, an excellent one, and they're sinning it!
Wait, this commercial is from 1970?
Bellarmine University estimated it would take between 70-200 licks dependant on tongue moistness, tongue texture, tongue size, duration of lick, and sucker thickness. There's other studies that vary widely though, most likely due to the factors listed above.
I've been a lot of places, seen a lot of faces
Wasn't there a song by the same name by a certain female rapper with multicolored hair????
Oh right. That was another type of treat😆😆
No mention of a _cow_ having a _male_ voice...?
(Or that the kid's voice is Charlie Brown...?)
1. How can the turtle bite?? It has no teeth
2. I never knew about the cow and the fox til today lol
3. I was waiting for a joke about him being nude lmao
I've always had so many questions about this commercial.

So many unanswered questions!
I ended up having 1180 licks or something before I got to the tootsie roll center.
On a single side of a tootsie pop, it took me 418 individual licks to penetrate the sucker and get to the tootsie pop center
Everything Wrong With Burger King commercials
3:40 Could be wrong but it sounds like he’s saying “smart Alec.”
It takes 100 to taste tootsie roll. That's my answer.
I counted licks when I was a kid and I got to 227 on feeling chocolate.
I've only seen the owl part of this commercial. Oh, and I tried counting the licks. I got 385.
The Final Sin Count was: 11,402
NOT: 11,401
I sin this channel for messing their sin counting at the last second.
*BING*
1 SIN
A true classic
😂🤣😂🤣
I did count how many licks it took it was like 379 I’m pretty sure it was
My questions is "why is that kid walking around the forest naked?"
Whoop whoop Michigan
What disturbs me the most is that the cow is MALE and still preforms all cow duties.
IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE BOY GOT CAKE?!
Also, is this kid walking around with no clothes on? I feel that's a sin for a multitude of reasons.
The kid for got his underwear
Another sin how could the turtle bite without teeth?
853
It's than I, you uncouth American
321
3:40 wouldn't Mr. Cow count as a woman?
Why it's no Cartoon sin 🤔❓
Y would he ask a woman. He needed to know a fact. Not how the tootsie pop is feeling today.
Obv a joke btw
Interesting. Whenever they play this commercial (they still do sometimes) I only see the part with the owl.
