its more of a novelty or gag gift now more than anything. Especially when you have Alexa and other home automation devices that can do all this and more.
Yes I think the old lady is the most memorable part of the commercial, I also notice in both clapper commercials the TV had the Chia pet commercial on.
Glad I found this. I remember this commercial being constantly shown on tv when I was really young. I don't remember much, aside from the jingle and the old lady in bed at the end. Nice stroll down memory lane
That stock music in the background sounds like that which the CBC used for the 1987 Ontario election (they posted this to their archives Facebook page in 2018). Been trying to find a longer version of that piece.
Thanks dude this is Great for doing a Bit or so related to this thing ;). I wonder how the thing worked or knew which room or range things like that hehe :).
There is a conspiracy theory that says that this is named in mockery of a classified CIA interrogation technique by James Clapper where he claps on and off in an unpredictable manner causing stress. Clap on. Clap off. The clapper.
Just realized in the 80s if your parents decided to have sex it probably looked like a rave was going in your parents room if they left it with a lamp plugged in
Right kid rock since 1989 of teddy rukspin I will all ways love my clapp on clapp off jobs for Americans who stand for the Flag of 1776 and kneels to Jesus Christ because in God almighty I do trust the eggs over easy at breakfast always no matter what forever uss kid rock that boat on all coast lines
So is BluTooth and those stupid PlayStation controllers that turn on your system. In fact I plug the playstation 4 into a clapper so that when the kids use the controllers on Laptop emulator games, it doesn't keep turning on the PlayStation unit. All this super tech stuff. I would rather have an on switch like in the past. All this tech is way more inconvenient. The clapper is the thing that isn't a hassle, unless of course you can't stand to hear clapping. :)
The old lady just makes this commercial so memorable lol
Is the old bag still living?ive fallen and my clapper won't go on.
Lol

0:14 That kid was too cool to clap.
It doesn't have to be called "The Snapper".
They never mentioned above the function of snapping before...
@@bradyanderson6311 Wait 1989 Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Makes me realize I never clapped or snapped inside my house
I think it's funny how they show a Chia Pet commercial on the TV!
From the same company.

These things have been around for more than 30 years, but I’ve yet to ever see anyone in the real world actually use one.

My brother got one at a garage sale back in the early 90s, we plugged the Xmas tree into it and it popped. That was my only experience with it. Lol
My best friend had one, this was around 2002/2003😂
I remember thinking these people were lazy lol
@@nbaoldgirldid it work??? Actually?? 🤨😆🧐
I really love that old lady at the end :)
Those old people are still getting their freak on. Don't break your pacemaker!
Not all old people have a pacemaker. Dumbass 😂
Kat von Y Pretty sure it was a joke.
Yes I think the old lady is the most memorable part of the commercial, I also notice in both clapper commercials the TV had the Chia pet commercial on.
Wow ....Lol 😂 memories
My siblings and I always laughed after the old lady at the end .. classic!!!!!
Glad I found this. I remember this commercial being constantly shown on tv when I was really young. I don't remember much, aside from the jingle and the old lady in bed at the end. Nice stroll down memory lane
This is a certified hood classic.
Plugged a Clapper into another Clapper once. My house has been gone ever since.
Too much clapping 👏
love how the tree lights light up before the second clap
I noticed that too! 😂

This was hysterical back then, my cousin and I laughed and laughed when that ad came on, he had to have one for Christmas that year.. lol

I love the old lady in bed clapping
cat number 5 Alan Jackson fan / Conway twitty fan the old lady's clap is a sound effect
Imagine just watching a show and then applause starts happening in the show and then the tv turns off 🤣🤣
0:19 Ol Granny ready to get freaky 😂
And then they'll be constantly flicking on and off as they keep on clapping 😂
I so miss Zellers and Eaton's...
love these funny weird commercials. lmao.
Saw one of these (same design as the one shown in this commercial) at the Salvation Army thrift store a few years ago.
The 90s version of Alexa
I got one today at staples
look at the tv close it has the chia pet thing
*CLAP ON CLAP OFF, THE CLAPPER!*
I just noticed The Clapper only accepts 2 prong plugs. It's not going to work for my TV! :-P
The old lady at the end! Plus I always notice the chia pet commercial playing on the tv
That stock music in the background sounds like that which the CBC used for the 1987 Ontario election (they posted this to their archives Facebook page in 2018). Been trying to find a longer version of that piece.
Clap On Clap Off The Clapper!
Oh shoot, my light keeps going on and off during this commercial.

0:09 chia pet is on the tv
From the same company.

The Chia Pet expanded universe 🤩
the best light changer ever made.
Thanks dude this is Great for doing a Bit or so related to this thing ;). I wonder how the thing worked or knew which room or range things like that hehe :).
Kids nowadays ALeXA TUrN THe LiGhT ON
RIP Joseph Pedott
Far superior to Alexa in every way
The clapper a Chicago commercial
Oh well, I haven't used this in a long time so I wasn't sure.
i remember her clapping 3 times at the end... mandela effect... >.>
I wonder if you could make a clapper "death trap". Like a clapper set to a trap door or something
I remember yelling at it to turn on and off.
Did it work?
I remember screaming in the room and the light going on and off repeatedly
@@TheLCPI did that work?
Sure did
@@TheLCPI that'll nickname it The Screamer.
clap on
clap off
The original Alexa.
There is a conspiracy theory that says that this is named in mockery of a classified CIA interrogation technique by James Clapper where he claps on and off in an unpredictable manner causing stress. Clap on. Clap off. The clapper.
Who else is here because of Wayne's World?
omg this is amazing!!! where can i get one
*The clapper walked, so alexa could run....*
Morgan Freeman brought me here 😂
0:18 Yooo, grampa was gonna get iiitt.
They should have invented one for the toilet. Crap on, crap off the crapper lol
Imagine attaching The Crapper to a bidet.

Ironic I watched this by asking Alexa to play the clap on clap off commercial
👏🏾👏🏾😂
HELP MEEEE XDDD-
Ad is from 1985, Not '89.
This ad played on TV for many years not just 1985.
0:00
What is the granny reaching for at the very end?
0:13 Why is the TV showing a Chia Pet ad? Is this meant to be promoting a product by the same company?
Probably due to the fact that they hold the patents to both products. And you also can’t show regular TV shows because that’s copyrighted.
😂😂😂😂😂
Wayne's World
We need to get one of those
Who's we??
that is totally true, i would't use it
Why do i remember her angrily leaning over in bed and aggressively clapping her hands together?...i know it was different than this
Now we know what else contributed in a major way to Americans' obesity.
doesn't work with LED lights.
yes it does, use the 300 watt plug, not the 600watt
@@stickybandit2346 I'll check if mine has a 300 watt plug, but how would that help?
I'm surprised that this AI product is this retro.
0:48
Alexa has made the clapper obsolete
This thing is only for lazy people
So the elderly are lazy also with their bodies not being able to function the way they use to?
Nukekiller30 ikr
That kid with the stereo was definitely not elderly. The damn stereo was right within his reach! If that’s not lazy, I don’t know what is.
So is BluTooth and those stupid PlayStation controllers that turn on your system. In fact I plug the playstation 4 into a clapper so that when the kids use the controllers on Laptop emulator games, it doesn't keep turning on the PlayStation unit. All this super tech stuff. I would rather have an on switch like in the past. All this tech is way more inconvenient. The clapper is the thing that isn't a hassle, unless of course you can't stand to hear clapping. :)
It's funny this is one of a few commercials that still air till this day.
Oh cool
