This commercial is so primitive. It's interesting to watch in the sense that commercials even today are more subtle. This commercial didnt even have music or anything else to draw attention, just a guy talking. The way he spoke was interesting too, it was all but begging you to buy it.
And instead of advertising that it has nutrients (like “part of this complete breakfast” or “contains essential vitamins and minerals”) it just says honey and sugar make it taste great.
This guy has the perfect clown voice. Calm, oddly dignified, and it makes him way less terrifying than he could be. EDIT: An additional point. I think one thing that helps is that it's VERY easy to know where the makeup on his mouth stops and where his real mouth begins. It doesn't look like he has a giant hellmaw of a face, he's just some bloke.
Sounds a lot like Mr. Hand from Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Ray Walston)... I wonder if it is him! He was born in 1914, this is from 1956. He'd be about 42 here. Listen to his voice when the tone drops at around 40 seconds in.
If krinkles was with you he would say what do you think? And you say: it is good! Krinkles:haha! I am proud to hear that But actually he does not exist anymore..m.
I agree clowns are just entertaining not scary when I see one I just need to remind myself under that face paint there's a real human being that probably feels some empathy
When I was a child, every time we went on a holiday, my parents would leave me and my sister at the hotel daycare while they go shopping/ meet friends. The daycare had a clown named Koko who entertained and played with us. Our parents always picked us up the latest, so koko would stay longer just so we won’t get lonely. Because of that, we can’t seem to find any clown scary. I’m glad to see so many others here who also find clowns to be charming.
0:24 “so krinkly, so delicious, so different!” somehow that’s just so cute to me, lol. maybe it’s because this was made before clowns got seen as mostly scary. he does look a little creepy, but he seems like he’s actually a nice clown.
Serotonin in a commercial! I'm 21 and absolutely love anything clowns, circus/carnival/amusement, and especially old-timey EVERYTHING! I feel like an outcast for liking clowns, candy corn, Thanksgiving, animatronics, anything modernity hates. Not sure if it's because I'm Autistic or what. Regardless, this commercial fills me with joy and charm! It lifts my spirit in such dreary days as these and makes me wanna escape to a happy carefree world of my interests every once in a while.... I'll shut up now, I'm sleepy....
No idea how but i could watch this add over and over and not get bored of it. the way he walks to the table to eat breakfast is so charming, kinda sad how clowns are seen as scary nowadays.
imagine at the end: Clown: any questions kids?! Little Boy: Do the Rice Krinkles float in milk? Clown:.....oh yeeeessss....they float....they floooooat....
+chewbaccasatan he did not say that at all, a clown would never crave blood...well except laughing jack,but that not the issue, he's not made to be evil.
+Jessica Collins Evil was made because of HIM. He is the heart and soul of all evil men produce on this god forsaken earth. He is the motive of moral crime. He is the reason murder, torture, rape and terrorism happens. He looks upon us from space with a smile possessing the minds of man when there is an advantage to kill and get away with no justice. He stalks society and waits to endure as much pain as possible on an individual. He stares boldly at the constructions men have built and curses a great flame to decimate it and its surroundings. He had one chance as man to do damage, now a lost demon that escaped his body and glares into our world from above. He stares with a long smile with the hysteric thoughts of one breath, that's all he needs to be a god of destruction. In the mean time, he telepathically possesses the common mans thoughts to do wrong. I see him when I dream of sugary coated crisp crinkles, and he responds with his future vengeance upon us.
This later became Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles, which had Fred Flintstone and his friend Barney as mascots. So, that means he's in the same canon as The Flintstones.
This is one of the most heartwarming and wholesome commercials I've ever seen. Krinkles seems like such a great clown with a happy personality and a heart of gold. I hope he's living a happy life wherever he's at now.
German Hockey It’s most likely because some individuals don’t find clowns very appealing or normal? Humans tend to think that different things are distasteful because they’re not as pleasant as what is perceived as ‘normal’. But I also agree, this guy is really adorable.
It’s because when humans try and connect with another entity they look for body language, movements and expressions. When we can’t see it the mind is confused and is scared. You then have a sense of fear because of unknown, if you can’t tell what their move is, if it’s going to be friendly or hostile you instinct will tell you not to trust it because it has deceiving expressions. You’re not really scared it’s just that your mind is confused and can’t tell either it’s friendly or not which, primal instincts tell to stay away since it could be a threat to you. So your not scared just confused.
Yeah well he had a line right afterhe "ate" it. We're there cereal on the spoon, he would spray cereal out of his mouth or have to sit there chewing it before the line.
Alright, I'm freaked out by clowns, but even I found this dude to be charming. Off-putting, due to the whole clown thing, but he just sounds so genuinely excited to sell this cereal.
I love clowns. I hope someday the "creepy clown" trend fades away and they can get back to being fun like this. I really enjoy the way he pronounces things
Now I love eating human souls, but I also eat people! So the best cereal for me is made out of 100% *genuine* children's teeth! It's so *crunchy* *I* *CAN'T* *STOP* *EATING* *IT*!
I'm not gonna lie, this is the friendliest commercial I have ever seen.
pretty much
The era wasn't so friendly though.

He's like wat is dis thing
he’s probably like “THIS TASTE LIKE FLIPPING POO”
Reminds me of Lucy on "Lucy does a TV Commercial" haha
True
Hes KRINKLING.
Came expecting a scary and creepy clown guy but i was surprised to see a wholesome normal clown guy.
His voice is so wonderful I could listen to him talk for hours
Sounds a lot like Mr. Hand from Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Ray Walston)... I wonder if it is him! He was born in 1914, this is from 1956. He'd be about 42 here. Listen to his voice when the tone drops at around 40 seconds in.

Pretty good ear. At 0:45 the way he shakes his head seems like Ray and yes his voice definitely sounds like Ray Walston.

Same here

He has a good heart and a friendly smile!

Trust me, I do that a lot and it's so much better without the milk.
Key Burri xD
O my gahd
In my country we eat cereal with water sometimes
I love cereal with no milk...
Honestly, this is even adorable on some ways. You even can see the actor is giving his best effort. He gave his heart and soul on this.
This is wholesome, I’d eat a bowl of sugar rice krinkles with this man.
If krinkles was with you he would say what do you think? And you say: it is good! Krinkles:haha! I am proud to hear that

I grin like an idiot at the beginning when he says, “Breakfast!”. He’s fun to watch

I met a wonderful clown at a birthday party once as a kid. Her name was Twinkie. Always smiled and everyone had a great time.
People think this is scary but how he's so nice
Squiggly the Candycorn yeah
agreed i like clowns everyone is scared of them
+krilinc_ _swoopy maybe because of Pennywise, Joker and Sweet Tooth people are now scared of clowns.
D0MINIC He is very adorable! Why people get scared with that clown?
Not to mention ICP and the scare we had this Halloween in the US.
I can understand why people are afraid of clowns but this guy and ronald look genuinely fun loving to me
I found it absolutely hilarious when he emerged from the paper and was jogging like an absolute goober.
I also liked his voice, he sounded like a supportive character from The Wizard of Oz 1939.
Have you ever seen the first Ronald McDonald commercial?

I don't get why clowns are always associated with serial murderers. Sure Gacey killed people. But I personally loved clowns when I was a kid.
German Hockey It’s most likely because some individuals don’t find clowns very appealing or normal? Humans tend to think that different things are distasteful because they’re not as pleasant as what is perceived as ‘normal’. But I also agree, this guy is really adorable.
It’s because when humans try and connect with another entity they look for body language, movements and expressions. When we can’t see it the mind is confused and is scared. You then have a sense of fear because of unknown, if you can’t tell what their move is, if it’s going to be friendly or hostile you instinct will tell you not to trust it because it has deceiving expressions. You’re not really scared it’s just that your mind is confused and can’t tell either it’s friendly or not which, primal instincts tell to stay away since it could be a threat to you. So your not scared just confused.
I think clowns got a bad rap when the purge movies came around, people with painted faces and clown masks killing each other for 12 hours till down...
The Gacey association is there because he entertained children's parties dressed as "Pogo The Clown".
Please put these handcuffs on. I want to see if you can get free.
A lot of people were very terrified of this clown. Maybe cuz of some clown phobia, but I genuinely love watching this commercial.
It’s called coulrophobia
