A paranoid man finally gets, out of all the things in the world, his most desired cereals. Produced by Calabash Animation, the creators of the Mastercard ad.
This commercial is almost 30 years old and seems more modern, creative and clever than much of the advertising being done now. The 90’s was such a unique time.
This was probably one of the closest to date of 1990s crossover collaboration before the 2010s crossovers. Trix was its own brand so was Got Milk a separate brand
@@jake78787 Or companies have been prioritizing quantity over quality, and writers have gotten less creative because of it. It's not like commercials in the 90s and 2000s were offensive or edgy (with a couple of exceptions). This commercial certainly wasn't offensive or edgy, so wanting to be more politically correct is not a valid excuse for a lack of creativity or poor writing. Also, feminism has existed long before you were probably born, and so have the "feminists with a PHD in English". It definitely existed in the 90s and was already affecting the media. It's got nothing to do with feminism. It doesn't matter what your political views are. If you have very little time to think of something good or are not good at thinking up of good ideas, your commercials are gonna be boring regardless.
I remember watching this commercial as a kid going, what the heck is going on. Till I realized the rabbit was finally going to get trix.I was shocked. I only clued in at the end it was a milk commercial when he pulled out his milk.
Another clue was how there was a piece of text at the bottom of the screen when he started pouring the cereal saying how it was a sponsorship between the milk association
They actually did let "Silly Rabbit" have the Trix ONE time... back in the 1970s. They let the kids in the real world vote on if he should have the Trix or not. And they said yes. ^v^
yes also two other times I know of seeing it in old commercials but still the rabbit has barely had it in years. He still wants to be able to eat it regularly.
Wait so he just left his opened carton of milk sitting on his table while he went to the store to buy cereal? How long was it sitting out? Didn't he notice it was empty when he took it out of the fridge?
@Angry Sheep Studios Got Milk ? - Rainbow ( 2008, UK ) Transcript: Zippy: ( humming a tune, then looks at us ) Hello ! It's Breakfast Time.

Zippy: OH NO !!! I'M GOING TO STARVE !!! ( falls off chair ) ( cuts to the got milk logo on a black background ) Got Milk Guy: Got Milk ?
And he was so close to getting what he wanted until there's no milk left, not sure if you think he should either just eat it dry since there are some people who eat dry cereal or just go back to the store for another carton of milk?
That's sadly true. But sometimes the CGI can look pretty obvious like in Tom and Jerry 2021 and Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. So if you want the 2D animation illusion it's better to just use 2D animation.
You know what, crazy as the Trix Rabbit was for the cereal he never got to taste for years, I'm surprised he didn't just eat it straight out of the box, just pour it all into his mouth, he is a cartoon rabbit after all. He can do that, right? 🐇
Funnily enough I discovered he's actually managed to successfully get it 2 times. Once in the 1960s even though it was just one bite and in a contest somewhere around the 90s asking kids if the rabbit should get the Trix for winning the race.
They need to do another one of these commercials. Except fooling people into thinking it's a Chips Ahoy! commercial. It's a giant jazz club where they play the classic 90s jazz song, everyone is eating cookies and having a good time until at the very end somebody says, "We're out of milk." Then, dead silence. Fade to black. Got milk?
I remember when this commercial came on tv and my brother was six and my mom started laughing at this and my brother got mad and said “that’s not funny mom”
This is one of, if not the greatest commercial of all time. I only found out yesterday that the zipper suit was done by none other than Stan Winston Studios.
I like how the Rabbit chose Harlan Williams to look normal. Like he knew he couldn't pull off conventional normal, but Harlan is just off enough without being weird or drawing too much attention to himself. That he could pull off.
@Gavin Curtis If That One Day Did Happen Maybe When Trix Turns 70 The Camera Will Literally Watching The Rabbit Take A Bite And When The Kids See That They Would Faint From A Major Mind Blow
For those wondering why he didn't just go back to pick up the milk, he probably spent the last of his money on the cereal and only realized when it was too late.
I got shorts recommended to me all the time about zipper man for about a month and I finally decided to watch it today, so this is why I am here today.
There was also a bowl out, so probably he just left both the bowl and the milk out while he was shopping to have everything ready for when he comes back. How long was the milk out? The same amount of time the rabbit was outside, probably
(Kids Bust Down Door) WE DID BECAUSE TRIX ARE FOR KIDS AND THAT'S FINAL!!!!!! Rabbit:Oh Well, May as Well Dissapear... Like The Milk (Fires Gun) (Fade To Black) Got Milk?
well a handful of old checkoff commercials were dark and uneasy back in the day, especially dairy. what is it about these cow jizz that makes weird no-name commercials? And don't get me started about "The power of cheese". I didn't see Mouse Hunt because of this weird campaign and Kingpin's ear-bleeding suave voice.

@@LovelyYT it was a series of generic cheese commercials they were similar to got milk at the end of each one a similar voice over by the late roscoe Lee Browne would say behold/ahh the power of cheese look some up on RUclips
Well, at least the Trix rabbit finally got a chance to get his hands on the Trix cereal after the constant "Trix are for kids" saying towards him for many years...
Stop pouring milk into cereal! Milk is for drinking NOT making your cereal soggy! Trix Rabbit has won! He didn't need the darn milk to eat the Trix cereal he was after all this time!
this is my first time being this as a toddler I was always asking myself, why are they not for rabbits I was feeling bad for the rabbit and when I saw this I felt way worse for him. may he find his trix someday
0:50 - 0:58 Trix Rabbit saying, "Trix are for rabbits! Ha ha ha ha ha!" When Trix Rabbit attempts to pour the milk over Trix cereal until he realizes that he's all out of milk, I said, "Guess again!"😈
I wish Family Guy would do a spoof of this. I mean, they finally let Charlie Brown kick the football... and Lucy got her just desserts.... I want to see the Trix Rabbit finally stick it to society!

Still the most brilliant cross-marketing commercial ever made. Absolute genius...
True, never seen a better commercial for zippers and rabbits.
Did you see the Pillsbury dough boy one?
I like how the rabbit is clearly going insane at this point. Especially the demented laugh as he grabs the milk.
Can't you blame him hes been trying to get a bowl of trix for decades by then
We should have seen him trash the room after that.
But is he insane enough to eat the cereal dry?
as for barney's pebbles
harland williams
The Rabbit's voice actor earned a medal for that mortified squeak at the end.
that is the sound of ultimate suffering
You're here because you just saw a behind the scenes short of the zipper man in this commercial
Yes
Yup 🤐
Yes, and I swear I thought it was part of a horror movie, just like you did.
The bastards got me
Yes
The Rabbit was so close! His days of tracking down Trix could've finally been over! He could've been able to eat freely forever!
Jeffrey Meredith That is until he didn't have milk
@@knottyorchid1212 or until the box was empty
There were a couple of commercials where he did eat Trix
Nothing is stopping him from putting the costume back on then going to get milk
@@HBoywasdocile he can even go buy milk without the disguise
nothin says milk is for kids only
I have always felt sorry for the Trix rabbit, the kids were always assholes to him. All he wanted to do was to eat some cereal
+cannibal151 he brought it on himself for stealing Easter from Jesus.
+Luke Dearey I don't recall that ever happening

imagine barney pebble
@@MaherandIbrahimsAvengers That text was inserted by various regional dairy boards, some of which paired it with the “got milk?” graphic instead.
This is just too tragic ... That rabbit will never get a brake
That's the point. Trix are for kids, and that's final!

Yep. Reminds me of Nostalgia Critic's comment "because we're all a bunch of f***in' sadists." XD
+Eddie Miller it's just a fucking rabbit.
Have to admire how much work they put into the practical effects for one commercial!
One of the many reasons why Stan Winston Studios are second to none.
Wait so he just left his opened carton of milk sitting on his table while he went to the store to buy cereal? How long was it sitting out? Didn't he notice it was empty when he took it out of the fridge?
People are thinking waaaay too much for a commercial like this. :)
That is a point. But he is living in an apartment. Maybe he’s Roommates with Sunny and he took it to sate his Coco Puffs Addiction?
Asking the real questions.
Thanks Cinema Sins
I can see him in a frenzy of "this is gonna be it", doing everything fast, not noticing how light it was.
Hey guys. Guess what I did?
You gave the rabbit a happy ending!!! Great work!
@@flickstergaming Yep. I’m making more by the way.

Got milk is now milk life.
Can I just say I love his face when he realizes there's no milk
He forgot to buy milk
He got to excited but now he was so close.
What an absolutely brilliant commercial.
The Trix Rabbit's best disguise yet!
And he was so close to getting what he wanted until there's no milk left, not sure if you think he should either just eat it dry since there are some people who eat dry cereal or just go back to the store for another carton of milk?
@Angry Sheep Studios Because no live action remakes beat the animated originals.
The amount of effort put into making the prosthetic zipper man suit for it to show up for just a couple seconds is insane!
Do you like male disguise unzipping too?
That's Stan Winston Studios for you.
@@JurassicKMgod bless them
Meh, i'd eat it without the milk anyway.
Yeah, just eat it dry.
@@TheInkPitOx that's what I do! Let's unite those who eat cereal without milk!
@TheBrodsterBoy why did you say URA?
Me too, bro. Who says it needs to be soggy? I like it crunchy!
Better put some water on that damn shit!
I grew up watching Trix commercials. And in my opinion this was THE BEST commercial of my generation!
still the very BEST "Got Milk?" commercial
Right up there with the guy stuck in hell one and the one where the guy confesses everything to his wife.
My Top 3.
Beautiful mix of live-action and animation.
It's a crying shame that techniques such as this are being replaced by CGI.
This DID use CGI, dumbass.
CGi can be uses beautifully to create the illusion of 2d animation. Such as in Arcsystemsworks guilty gear and DragonBall Fighterz
That's sadly true. But sometimes the CGI can look pretty obvious like in Tom and Jerry 2021 and Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers. So if you want the 2D animation illusion it's better to just use 2D animation.
That tradition is almost dead
He can't have trix, but he's still on the box. WTF
it's an elaborate advertising campaign dating back a long way back.
It just doesn't make sense!
it's specifically to taunt him
I still consider this THE cruelest commercial I've ever seen
Why couldn't they just give him some cereal??
GASPS
(Nice)
They did. He just ran out of milk.
I love this Ad. I’ve watched it So many Times and have actually brought it up in A Marketing Class I’m taking as an Example Of Amazing Advertising
Anyone else here because they got recommended the zipper man short and had no idea wtf that meant?
This’d be a pretty good super bowl commercial
Seeing the *got milk?* at the end had me explode into laughter.
Girls: "I can't believe he didn't cry at the titanic"
"Do men even have feelings?"
Boys:
LOL
Not gonna lie a part of me died inside seeing how close he was.
He could always eat it dry.
@@Mac14329 True but there's nothing like eating cereal with milk
@@goldenvulture6818 Not "nothing".
I’m so blessed to be able to grow up with these commercials when it was fresh and just came out. Can’t replace that magical experience.
Harlan Williams is such an underrated comedic actor ❤
His podcast is probably my favorite of the dozen or so comedic pods I listen to
This is a great commercial. I think they should bring it back on air. For no reason because I like this commercial.
Trix is the embodiment of entitled parent victims
*_you don't need that cereal anyways, you're too old for it_*
Yeah, sad *noms another spoonful of Trix*

It's funny the cashier mocked him for buying trix
And then he pays for it with a GOLD coin like a BOSS
Put your disguise back on and go get some more milk
"you know you can eat cereal without milk"
It turns out, the guy getting unzipped was practical effects!

Trix Rabbit: It's mine.... it's all mine....

I think him being out of milk saved him from food poisoning. Who knows how long he had that sitting out of the fridge lmao.

This must be actor Harland Williams, before voicing into cartoon characters.
It's really a shame they didn't get the actual voice actor for the rabbit to do the commercial. (but harland is awesome)
so weird to think the zipper man was practically done at the end instead of sticking with the earlier cgi.
Most terrifying cereal commercial I've ever seen. Just seems dark and uneasy. Plus isn't he the guy from Half Baked?
