I remember when this commercial first aired, it aired during a made for TV movie. and my parents recorded this commercial , along with the movie. we were so fascinated by this commercial, that we kept rewinding it over and over again.
Yo, when this California raisins commercials first aired on television, oh seriously they had me rolling. They were great commercials and every time they came out with a new one, I just had to watch them. Here we are 2021 and I wish they still were doing them yet. I think they should have done a New Year's Eve California race and commercial or something like that, Just for Old Time sakes.
I'm 72 now & still have at least one...use to have just about all of them. LOL 🤣 Just introduced my one little guy to my 3 yr old great-granddaughter 😅 She Loves Him Dancing ‼️
I was 9 years old when this came out in ‘86 and idk why it creeped me out. We used to throw stuff at the big wood console tv when it came on. And it came on ALL THE TIME. like more than PAUL OF THE DIAMOND CENTER in the 90s and MISS CLEO psychic commericals
I remember seeing these commercials as a little girl. I use to have a California raisin doll at the age of 7, but I wouldn't dare go back to the memories of it because it reminds me of certain bad moments that I had at home as a child.
Marlana Edwards I was born in 1981 myself & saw these commercial, but I would go back to them because they kind of remind me of certain bad moments that I had at home as a child.
OMG! When i was a kid i remember having a little action figure of one of these guys. IT scared the shit out of me. I remember being terrified to go to sleep because i thought it was going to kill me or something.
Thumbs up if one time (several several years ago) as a young adult you saw these guys dancing on your bed after you and your future husband drank several bottles of cough syrup.
Been some lame copies of this made over the last 20 yrs. But this is definitly the "ORIGINAL" i remember it well also, and loved it when it first aired:):):):) Thanx for posting.
They tried to advertise in the movie Back to the Future, trying to rip off Reece's Pieces advertising in ET, but the director opted out because a bowl of raisins on camera just looked like a bowl of dirt.

This was the commercial that started it all. After this, the California Raisins became a household name. I was obsessed with them during their prime.
I have about 25 original pvc figures and three pins still in their original packagin. And a California Raisins bank! ha
I shouldn't have seen something today to bring me here lol 💰⛏️😂

Let me guess through VHS, best times then lol.
It was so creative and innovating. Yep, we were fascinated. Every time we'd hear the 1st two beats, we'd run to the TV to watch. Lol
SOME AWESOME MEMORIES 🥰💥❣️
@@hawkseye8133 Absolutely 💯 🥰💥❣️

The world needs these raisins now more than ever
This is one of my earliest memories. Born in '84.
This had to be one of the most popular commercials of the 80's easily!
Who else here because of Solid JJ😂
Yup
i remember these commercials and i was only 3 years old at the time. 80's commercials always remind me of such great times.
I was 14 in 1986

Whoever did their marketing was an absolute genius.
Imagine making kids like raisins and even collect figurines. I can’t stand raisins to this day…
I remember having the figurines as a kid.
So did I.
I think they were from Hardee's??🤔🤔
I still have 5 of them in a box somewhere🙂. So glad I decided to keep them.

He IS the long lost member of the california raisins
"Sounds great doesn't it?" Sure does Mr Announcer man, sure does.
He actually says "Sounds _grape,_ doesn't it?"

@@BaseballPlayer0 You're not wrong
lol i saw the california raisins featured in some ice capades in connecticut in like '87 or '88 when i was a kid
I actually read Anthony Robbins Power Principle and really wanted to see the ad xD
And yet the only raisins at the movie theater are Raisinets.
Thumbs up if one time (several several years ago) as a young adult you saw these guys dancing on your bed after you and your future husband drank several bottles of cough syrup.
