    The cow is voiced by Frank Nelson, best known for his appearances on The Jack Benny Program where he said "Yeeessss?"
    The fox is voiced by Paul Frees, aka Boris Badenov from the Rocky & Bullwinkle Show, imitating Peter Lorre.
    The turtle is Ralph James, best known as the voice of Orson from Mork & Mindy.
    The owl is voiced by Paul Winchell, of course, the voice of Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh.
    The narrator at the end is Herschel Bernardi, a Yiddish theater actor, who, for a time, was Tevye in Fiddler on Broadway.

Alright I didn't know his name at first but when I searched up Frank Nelson and got clips of him saying Yeeesss? I knew exactly who he was.

      I definitely recognized Paul Frees as Mr. Fox; he used the same Peter Lorre-esque voice that he used for Morocco Mole!
      And Paul Winchell was very recognizable; I could hear a bit of Dick Dastardly/Gargamel in Mr. Owl's voice.

    A group of engineering students from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252 licks each to the center.

    There was a cow and a fox?!
    I knew there was a turtle (this commercial aired all-the-freakin-time back in the 90s), but...wow.

    OMG, THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS PIECE FROM MY CHILDHOOD IN ITS ENTIRETY. I DO NOT why they had to leave out the cow (voiced by Frank Nelson, one of comedian Jack Bunny's sidekicks with his catchphrase "Yesssss!!!!") and the fox (unless somebody had thought not to encourage kids to wearing glasses 24/7, it'll give them severe long-term eye problems). But in either case, still a fun-filled nostalgic trip down memory lane, thanks for the upload 😊👍

    I never knew there was a longer ad. I'd only seen the abridged commercial that had Mr. Turtle and Mr. Owl, with a few of the lines cut out, and a different reaction shot from the kid after Mr. Owl bit the Tootsie Pop. It's been one of my favourite commercials since I was a kid.

    I've never seen this original long version with the cow and fox. Now I realize the more common version is edited down from a minute for more frequent plays on TV.
    Does anyone know the other voice actors?
    Boy: ?
    Cow: ?
    Fox: Paul Frees (Boris Badinov, Gertie Growl, Ghost Host of Haunted Mansion)
    Turtle: ?
    Owl: Paul Winchel

    okay i'm only here because ive never heard "how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?" ive always heard "how many licks does it take to get the center of a tootsie pop?" and apparently that's how A LOT of people remember it- like whAT THE FU CK

    • @classicpinball9873
      @classicpinball9873 6 лет назад +19

      most people remember it like that because the original phrasing doesn't make sense - of course the center of a tootsie pop is the tootsie pop center why is it necessary to say that? Some people just remember it as the center of a tootsie pop since it makes more sense in their head so thats the memory that sticks

    I didn't know that there was more to this commercial than the boy and the owl until just recently. I just thought the scene with the boy and the owl was the whole commercial and that's it because that's all they showed on TV for as long as I can remember, but after seeing all od this, I like it even more.

  • @JFS3
    @JFS3 3 года назад +6

    Remember seeing this when it first aired. Been a long time since I've seen the original uncut version, as the thirty second edit starting with Mr. Turtle became the standard version after awhile (thirty second ad slots being cheaper).

    "How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center...?"
    Anywhere between 170 and 640 licks, depending on a wide variety of factors.
