- In this episode I am also debuting my NEW AVATAR CHECK IT OUT and SPECIAL GUEST my artist/partner Lucius Hargrave! linktr.ee/gentlemonsterart
It's been a long time coming, but I finally put together an episode on dragon commercials. Most of these are lost to time and found only through extensive digging, with even the most famous of them achieving vanishingly little recognition in the furry fandom. It's unfortunate, because some of these cuties are designed and animated just as lovingly as the more popular dragons you see time and again.
Dragons feature as prominently in advertising as they do in other media because humans are just fascinated with these guys. I've put together a list of ten hot-breath hotties (do people still understand sarcasm?), but you'll see much more than ten commercials here... be dragons
Please note, the 4th Listerine commercial featuring Clifford comes from the pages of TVWhirl, a site which presents a huge number of ads by year and includes priceless context: www.tvwhirl.co...

you had me at 10 dragons
I love how dragons are always drawn really fat
Except for the rapping one at the club.
Yeah, the pear-shaped dragons are always quite charming.
I'm pretty curious where the whole fat dragon design trope comes from.
@@ElizabethLazuli I was talking with some friends recently and this topic came up. Most believe the pear shaped dragon being popularized by the 1941 film The Reluctant Dragon produced by Walt Disney based off a short story of the same name written in 1898 which features a friendly, peaceful poetry loving dragon. While fat dragons are probably older then that there was a trends of making soft, friendly dragons in contrast to how they were traditionally depicted in the medieval period. So the Disney version really nailed down the kind of pear-shaped/friend-shape that we now often see in many dragon and dinosaur designs.
@@k9wolf07 apparently that movie was made during an animator's strike too which is really disneylike
That Green Dragon. I wish I had that kind of charm and confidence.
Did you know that Jim Henson also made a commercial with a dragon?
The La Choy Dragon, yep! I wanted to spotlight animated dragons for this video, but he's pretty great too.
@@FurryFoundFootage I see, some count puppetry as animation.
ayy, a lucius appearance! y'all are an absolute power couple i love it
the thumbnail on this made me wheeze audibly, seeing these two menacing characters doing the silly meme pose 😂
Being called a power couple makes my day hahaha
Weren't kidding about dragons I've not seen before, wow. I think I recognized two. This was a cute video. Clifford stole my heart. That was so adorable.
Your voices are so soothing! And I love your avatars, they’re adorable. I just discovered this channel and I’m already enjoying it.
The new avatars are great, hope to see Lucius pop up for colour commentary more often! Clifford IS everything
Love the continued Top 10 Commercials series, too. Would you say they take more or less research/prep than your vids on solo TV shows?
I would say more, but I cut myself off from going too deep. Some of these things lead to real rabbit holes, but the internet has become an active detriment to research in many ways. It's a bit of a wash, but they definitely feel easier to put together!
I love the new avatar(s), they're absolutely stunning! It's also so great to finally see Lucius in one of these! ^^
He's been in a supportive role but I'm slowly getting him to come out of his shell!
@@FurryFoundFootage nice! ^^
The new avatars look great Lucius! I really hope you guys do more duo videos together in the future 😄
England did have Greasers back in the Fifties and early Sixties. We called them Teddy Boys instead.
I learned something! Thank you!
-“We make a pretty pair”
-“well, one of us does”
But sorceress, you’re pretty too
So glad I found this channel, major coziness
As a car person, I'm very pleased to see the Listerine "Clifford" race cars featured in this video! The 1992 BMW car was also the driver's championship winner that year with Tim Harvey driving, netting BMW 2nd place in the manufacturer's championship. Due to the provenance of the car, that lovely pink Clifford will continue to be preserved along with the car for many, many years!
Woah that's the kind of information I wasn't able to track down. Thanks for sharing, yay Clifford car!
As someone who's never heard of Clifford, I'm shocked that a character from the 80s looks so feminine despite being male! That was brave of them back then!
Just goes to show you being pink with eyelashes doesn't automatically make a character a girl!
Lucius and Aurelina in one video? Win.
this video gave me an appreciation for dragons i think
HEY, I remember seeing this commercial YEARS ago! 17:54
ayo your avatars are AWESOMEEEEEEE
btw these adds are incredible too; I'll use some of them as samples for music~
omg! i totally reciprocate the "oh god i can't express this interest while people are watching with me" feeling!! it happened so often when i used to watch tv with my family, especially when my kinks occurred in cartoons frequently. 😵💫
on the topic of reptiles, i think y'all would enjoy looking into the flintstones commercials for a japanese credit union. they eventually evolved into original animations featuring cute scalie characters! the name escapes me but they're worth checking out u.u
Plus I love your dragon guest
Clifford is my favorite dragon ever. He's so adorable! Wish I was that princess
This is a great idea. Thanks for making this video.
33:10 cars are my speciality, so I'll try to expand on what's been provided here:
first of - british touring car championship, britain is in europe yes, but that's two different events, don't get it twisted, now for the cars, first one's a Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, raced from late 1987 (one of the first adopters of the Sierra Cosworth) to 1990 under the Listerine-Texaco Racing team, best results in 1990 placing 6th in class and 11th overall, and the other car is a BMW 318iS (E36) with M Team Shell Racing, placing second in the manufacturer's championship in 1992
I like how the Green Dragon covered a famous 1979 song!
The bready brek adds are pretty cool
huh what a nice list hope we get to see more collabs in the future
this episode was made for me
Okay... There is only one way to describe your dashing host. Fly. The waistcoat and robe are chef's kiss perfect for a class dude. Adding the lounging fez makes me miss my own lounging fez. It fell off a luggage cart at a furry convention and walked away with the help of some sticky fingers, I'm guessing. Anyway, rotund gentlemonsters always look best when classed up with the right attire. He reminds me of the bear from Tom Poes, appropriately known outside of Europe via the dub of "The Dragon Who Wasn't (Or Was He?)" A great anthro movie based on a great anthro comic, with a dragon.
Love your new avatars and look forward to more new videos.
When you're right, you're right!
Lucius aka Sharpt00th (FurAffinity) - Still I loved how Lucius draw weight gain sequence to Dragon King from skinny to moutain of fat.
Awesome avatars and like them 😁👍
Did not know you and Sharpt00th were a villian team, we're getting so much lore here!
This is just what I needed! Thanks for all the stuff you make. Its major drawing inspiration
YEAHHHH! DRAGONS! 🐉
I greet you
Cute vid, love your new model! (And the soyjack thumbnail)
I really love the new Avatar
when i think of commercial dragons, my muppet-obsessed mind always goes to Delbert the La Choy Dragon! he was initially built as a live-hand puppet but became a full-body puppet (that Frank Oz notably HATED performing)... he even had a little inflatable toy~!
also, i'd LOVE to see a top 10 pigs in commercials! love these awesome round-ups~
Yeah the La Choy dragon is cute! I usually lean more into animated characters but there are a lot of neat puppets out there.
Love the new avatar and great collab with Lucius on this one!
Thanks!
Woah, you're too kind! Thank you!
Oh damn we are entering the realm of plumbing .
If ever you do anything with birds or avians in generall , try to include the WC-Ente ( it's german , means WC-Duck )
LOVE the new animated avatars!
Muy bueno, thanks for the videos favoring for the dragons here saying as a glamorous dragon myself. These videos are very nice and intresting and they really are quite the treasure, you ladies did very well here gracias, and they're pretty cute too, davvero molto carino e adorabile. Ciao.
As a car person myself, i approve of these Clifford Listerine themed Ford Sierra Cosworth race cars, love them❤
Oh god would LOVE to join you in a video sometime with my avatar. Stay awesome.
Awesome looking new avatars! Another great compilation👍 Love watching these, thanks for sharing with us.
there may be others out there in lost media
Definitely, but many of these took so much digging and are so little known they may as well have been lost, so I wanted to highlight them!
Lmao guys you'd love Italian theme park mascots
14:35 You express being uncomfortable with a Dark Sorceress dakimakura but in your OC lore video, Rolland the Bullossus is carrying one around..! Minions must be the exception, huh?!
I don't know where he got that but he won't let go of it!!!
There was one dragon that was used for a debt relief ad in the 1980's or 1990's but I can't find it any where now. I have a early dragon in a print advertisement feldspar soap 1934. Ladies Home Journal The ad called it a wash dragon. no name given for it. Came with a coupon for a soap shaver or something like that for 5 cents. Also ever here of the "Golden Dragon" It's thed one used for the International Date line during WWII and WWII
Woah, this thing is crazy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_the_Golden_Dragon
In 2003, there was a Drayton Manor advert featuring a dragon (no name given); where a few knights try to catch the dragon flying through the air by using a catapult and a net.
The chief knight lets his teammates know of the dragon's presence. One gulped and another screamed while the lid slid shut on his helmet.
"Take aim," the chief said. But then the trebuchet starts rolling down the path.
"OH, NO!" one of the knights screamed, as the net flew through the air and right onto him, trapping him at that point. The catapult finally rolls into a pool of water at the bottom of the path, where the other knight, who was on the trebuchet, was also submerged into the water. He slaps the water in frustration as the dragon lands on the wall at his own will.
The dragon then turns to the camera and asks the audience, "Will they ever learn?" before firing across the camera. The advert ends at the Medieval English background and with the spoken words: "If you want to catch a dragon, visit Excalibur at Drayton Manor."
I do love me a fellow trap door fan.
Him Upstairs is waiting for his dinner hurry up!
@@FurryFoundFootageAwww, but all of me weevils have fallen in me slodge!
NEW! FOR 2024/25! THE NEW AND IMPROVED AURELINA!!
Wait is that Jon Pertwee at 11:45?
Could you do a video about dinosaurs
I like your new look it so good
Too bad we can’t see any more adventures of Clifford the Hot Pink Dragon.
Clifford the Listerine Dragon and the Princess is the best couple ever
Also, that's me when I was watching the Totally Spies episode, Passion Patties, as a high schooler. 16:33 XD
