  • 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...

      @@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.

    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!

    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.

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.

    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."
