I bought a Toblerone today and sang this in my head as I wandered around the store. I remember this as a small child of 4 or 5 in around '74/'75. Not heard it since, but remembered it word for word and remember the animation of them chasing a Toblerone with a net like it was yesterday. I just had to find it. Many thanks for the nostalgic trip back to my childhood days.
Thank you for uploading this. I have not seen this advert for 48 years. I notice it's marked as 1978, i can't remember if this particular ad for Toblerone was still being shown on British television in 1978, but I definitely first saw it on British television in 1974. I agree, with the comments here - pure golden memories.
I am transported always to simpler, and innocent times recalling /remembering these commercials, especially if you were growing up as a young child in the 1970s. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. (👍). The animation /drawings, reminds of Crystal tips, and alistair??.
I found myself singing this song like 2 minutes ago whilst working and thought i have to You Tube it and here it is, I remember it word for word its great to to see the ad again it brought back old memories and made me smile :)
A plaintive, yearning melancholia, sounding lovingly sentimental, even though composed and sung in a contemporary, casual, late '70's sound, combining a pleading yearning for a lost, missed yesterday, with the relief of finding our love still alive, waiting for us, in our today.
Like others remember the tune and some of the lyrics (but not the animation though): "Toblerone, out on its own, triangular chocolate, that's Toblerone" and at the end, "Give me Toblerone". Plus whenever I hear about the cricketer Toby Roland-Jones, I immediately call him "Toblerone Jones" and sing some of the song!
It’s Sat 8 Jan 2022 and I’ve been singing along to this theme tune 🎶 in my head, every day, since I bought a Christmas 🎄 Tolberone multipack (in Dec 21). When I reach for it, when I eat it, when I see it, before I go to bed, when I’m wake up 😅 So I thought I’d find the ad from childhood, sing along and hopefully I can get some sleep 😴 But, I think I’ve made it worse so … no sleep for me until 2023 🙃
Why don't ads have beautiful music like this anymore as kids back in the 70s we would sing all the tunes to ads they were like little pop tunes today all I hear is rubbish noise from ads ....sad
I'm 60 and haven't had any Tobblers for a few years, so I've just bought a big 360g bar (today...10 Nov 23) and had a moment of reminiscence, a zippidy-dibbit of nostalgia and searched TH-cam for this commercial...and here it is! I remembered the chords from 45 years ago! Amazing how an old ad can stick in memory, (Like Cadbury's Fudge...do you remember it? With two lads playing conkers? lol) of course, you'll never forget Toblerone, always a treat, beautiful Swiss choccy that's never been altered since its launch in 1908...as far as I know. It still tastes the same as it did all those years ago. 🎵Thats Toblerone! 🎶
I build radio control model aircraft, and have a couple of huge Toblerone boxes filled with cement and with rope attached, to hold the wheels when starting...of course, "Chocks away"
Toblerone, Out on it's own, Triangular chocolate, That's Toblerone, Made with triangular almonds, From triangular trees, And triangular honey, From triangular bees, And oh! Mr Confectioner please, Give me Toblerone.
I loved this advert when I was a small child and would sing and dance to it (probably drove my parents mad) but on rewatching many years later I recognise the illustrations of the people they look very familiar. Like a well known cartoonist or illustrator of the time, possibly Allan Ahlberg who did the children's books. Anyone have any idea?
Thank you! I saw this version on a 70s ad compilation and was like ‘I thought this was a 90s ad’ I thought I was going mad as I wasn’t even born in 1978 so couldn’t possibly remember it. What was scary about 1997 Mr Confectioner btw?
Storytime: So im 11, and i was playing triominoes with my gran and grandpa, and while we were playimg, my grandpa suddenly started singing this word for word, i was so confused. It was so out if context that it was hilarious
Love this so much, brings back lovely memories, when life was better.
How very true.

@toxic_badass Exactly the SAME scenario, with me, 9 months later! Literally! Lol...
@@NickyM_0lol that's good to hear, thanks for the comment 😀
Just happened to me too!
Here for the same reason and wondering why I also remember the words!

I've been looking for this for years
Searched for this many many times over the years, but never saw it. Thank you.
My God all those years ago! 1978 I was 6 years old my mother had a year left to live nearly .
Arh, sorry to hear that. God bless her.
What a advert ? Best ever.takes me back to when all.was OK with the world 🌎

Well put!
Reminds me of childhood
Haha! A blast from the past. Remember this from the early 70s.
Nice song.
I was looking for this for ages.
WOW . I love it. I haven't heard this since around 1980
Rastafari 👍🏿

This was the only commercial for TOBLERONE at the time The very first I was only ten years old when I saw it growing up in England such fun memories.
Like others remember the tune and some of the lyrics (but not the animation though): "Toblerone, out on its own, triangular chocolate, that's Toblerone" and at the end, "Give me Toblerone".

Have you noticed that you can't get dark Toblerone these days?
Classic! Who was the wanker who gave it thumbs down then??
Couldn't have put it better myself!
👍🏾
@@whyyoulidl 👍🏾
A superb advert. Must be someone who's bought a giant one at an airport, hasn't got any money left and has been airsick
TRIANGULAR BEES 😁 how cute
this seems earlier than 78 though. more early 70s... maybe they were still showing it
Theme Written by Harry Vanda and George Young of "The Easybeats'.
You're joking!😁
Do you know who sang it?
I build radio control model aircraft, and have a couple of huge Toblerone boxes filled with cement and with rope attached, to hold the wheels when starting...of course, "Chocks away"
So inspired by Yellow Submarine ❤
Thats the one i remember
Ahhh good memories
I remember in the mid-90s hearing a singer performing this in the style of Frank Sinatra on a commercial radio advert for Toblerone.
Love it. Definitely think this is early 70s, maybe not as late as '78.
Back in the days when there was just the one Toblerone - not the several today (although the White Toblerone is YUM).
Toblerone,
Out on it's own,
Triangular chocolate,
That's Toblerone,
Made with triangular almonds,
From triangular trees,
And triangular honey,
From triangular bees,
And oh! Mr Confectioner please,
Give me Toblerone.
Eating it now and singing!😂😂
Cute little song! - :)

Makes me think of Schoolhouse Rock
Looks like Ed McLachlan to me.
@@applemask Yes I think you are probably right
Better times 😕
tune
Oh this is nice and the confectioner is not scary like the one in the 1997 one.

Wonderful advert. I can still sing it now. Wasn't it a bit earlier than 1978 - although they could have still been playing it by then?
Awww lovely tune
Who sang it ?
I googled it; prob not allowed to post the link tho 😔
@@whyyoulidl this was a single by the guys from the easybeats
Shown on RTE advert breaks in Ireland and worldwide in 1978.
Loved this advert back in the 70s. It would be great to see this without it being ruined by having a union jack stuck on it.
Why does a union flag ruin it?
Pity the toblerones are so dear !
Storytime:
So im 11, and i was playing triominoes with my gran and grandpa, and while we were playimg, my grandpa suddenly started singing this word for word, i was so confused. It was so out if context that it was hilarious
If you love this, you'll love Auto Shenanigans! Go check 'em out!
Who sang it..?
Isn't Toblerone made in Switzerland?
Ive been looking for this for years(sad, I know)😊. I'm sure its older than '78 because that type of animation would have looked a bit dated by then.
Definitely from the early 70s
Ok, hear me out. It's chocolate
but triangular
Good advert Good chocolate especially fruit and nut
When chocolate was chocolate instead of today's chemical concoctions
