Alabama power created and holds the trademark for Louie the Lightning Bug and introduced him in 1983. Soon he was syndicated across the US, Canada and the Caribbean. These are masterpieces of our childhood memories.
When I first saw these commercials, I thought that he sounded just like Jack "Conjunction Junction" "I'm Just a Bill" Sheldon from Schoolhouse Rock! And I looked it up, and that's exactly who it was!
@@bradleycotton3237 The singer behind "Ladybug Picnic" is Jim Kweskin. And the singer behind "The Alligator King" is deceased San Francisco jazz musician Turk Murphy.
See Louie The Lightning Bug was developed by some big US hydro company. And of course provided it to Every local and regional hydro company. Manitoba Hydro played these till at least 2004 in Winnipeg. But on the Manitoba Hydro website they still feature him super heavily
I love the very very appropriate sudden shift in tone in the third one. Catchy slogans like "Gotta play it safe around power lines" quickly give way to "Switchgear: Everyone should fear it. Don't play here. LEAVE. PLAY SOMEWHERE ELSE. PLAY IN THE STREET. THIS IS NOT A PLACE OF HONOR. NO GREAT DEEDS ARE COMMEMORATED HERE. THERE IS NOTHING VALUED HERE.

R.I.P. Jack Sheldon, the guy who played Louie.
We need him back and public service announcements like this
I’m worried there gonna make him in 3D.
@@mediocrebreakfast8024 CGI you mean? well wasn't he also voiced by the late Jack Sheldon
Yes, he was. I surely do miss him. These weren't just ads, these were experiences that give you that strong feeling.
I agree.
Guys I have some terrible news! There's a new Louie...I know I know, and he's horrible

As a local Alabamian, I always saw these commercials between shows on PBS Kids
That's exactly why I love the 80s, especially 1983.
The local power company still played these ads when I was in high school. Not anymore 💔
Cause the actor of Louie died. They can’t find him a new one
@@-Tebrolete- They could rerun the old PSAs
RIP Jack

Watch when your high......trust me.

I think that “light” is the humidity
did that socket and lightbulb have some form of sex?
hey where's the one with the signs this is not all of them
🎶 You gotta obey what signs say 🎶 That is my favorite too.

Which kid plays around electrical transformers?

Dead ones.
When I was growing up in my apartment complex they would make really cool clubhouses to hide behind. They were essentially big metal boxes
