This was clearly one of the most brilliant commercials from a bygone era. My darling grandmother loved this. She'd always be saying I won't my Maypo - heck, who didn't say this! The cereal was great! I'm 82 and remember this as well as the first one. I knew it word for word.
For years I have asked people if they remember Maypo from when they were kids. No one did from Montreal to Halifax. Now, to actually find the commercials on UA-cam! What wonderful memories. Thanks for making my day
John Hubley animated this ad for the quick hot cereal "Maypo." It was a terrifically successful ad campaign - so much so that when the ad agency asked for more Hubley was terribly conflicted: he had sold his son Mark as a character and would have to procure the tyke's voice for more ads as required by the agency. Welcome to Corporate America vs. the Creative Artist (btw, I insisted my mom buy Maypo because of the commercial - but when I got finally got it, it tasted like sh*t).
He has such a precious voice. So cute! I just had to look up these commercials after watching a clip from The Iron Giant that featured a maypo commercial.
I remember being indoctrinated by this commercial and demanded that my mom buy Maypo. Well, she finally did. Made it, gave it to me and I couldn't stand the taste of that crap! So I went back to eating my Alpha-Bits, Frosted Flakes and whatever else was loaded with sugar coating. That was back in about 1962 at age 5.
I remember the Maypo ads featuring the boy named Markie! I never had it myself, never having been fond of the maple flavor or, for that matter, hot cereal even on the coldest of days. Markie liked Maypo, and Mikey liked Life.
Funny part is that this catchphrase was inspiration for MTV's slogan in the 1980s, as well as what Sting sings in the Dire Straits song "Money for Nothing"
I used to do this to my sister Susan. She would be sleeping on the couch, taking a nap(and yes snoring and her bare feet sticking out of the blanket.) and say I wanted my Maypo. She would talk in her sleep about her boyfriend
Vernon Smith, 😂 Your comment made me laugh so hard, my eyes started watering! As a wee, tiny tot, I thought Markie had called his uncle an "Old Rat" too ! I started calling everything an "Old Rat!!" until my mother grabbed me & pulled me to her side & whispered in my ear that calling anything an "Old Rat" was terribly impolite! I never said it again... I was ashamed I had been impolite.😨😮😱 I thought I was being funny!😯😕😬😮😵😨😱
Vernon Smith, Now that I've thought about it, calling someone an "Old Rattlesnake" in my opinion is even more impolite! Lol!😄 At least a rat isn't a snake & a rat doesn't have venom to kill! Lol!😄 If someone were to call me one of the 2, I think I would prefer being called an "Old Rat!!" than an "Old Rattlesnake!!" Lol!😄 But, i have been very careful in my lifetime to give no one cause to call me anything derogatory. Glory to God alone! 🙌🙏🙌 (Do no harm; When you leave, leave a smile on their faces; Leave the place better than you found it; & Say what you do, do what you say, deliver on time or a little before, & always, always give a little bit more: These have been my life's mottos.)

Thanks for taking the tie to comment. All info is good knowledge. I truly appreciate your effort to share a comment. Thanks again Joe. So many hits on it...
Still my favorite hot cereal, but I can't find it in eastern Montana, moved here from Maine 16 months ago. Guess I'll have to order it online, just like marshmallow fluff ;-)

This has more plot, story, character, and humor than 90% of the shit produced my Disney and Marvel these days
That is so.

Akane1313 I was thinking the SAME thing ! Lol
@@terryhawkins8191 Yup.
What an adorable-sounding child. Wow, who's probably about 50 now!
Right.

Markt Maypo was quite a character.
born in 1954, I still eat Maypo when i can find it.
THIS is where Wake up you old Ralphie came from! I was thinking it was Dennis the Menace, but HIS was Mr Wilson! (I believe!) 😍
Wow, commercials were really long in the '50s.

Kids really do like Maypo, do they?
NOT THE HAMBURG!
I remember this commercial. What year was this?
Thank you, this brings back some great memories
I want my maypo
Didn't know there was another Maypo ad made. 😃
Kid pours boiling water and oatmeal in the guy's hat. Wild.
LOL! "Uncle Ralph? I'm fixing you ' bekrast ' in bed" LOLOL!!!
I remember seeing these ads,but I don't remember seeing Maypo sold anywhere in my local stores

0:04 sleeping
Born 1955. LOVED Maypo!
Maypo and Bosco mixed with milk, hmmmmmmmmmmmm .WHAT a breakfast back in the 60s.
I thought he said wake up you old rat! Lol

Artificial flavoring and vitamins and lots of sugar added. The kind of crap that they gave kids and probably still do.
Little boy sounds like Ike from South Park.

Too bad, an ad like this would somehow be considered "insensitive" or "inappropriate" these days...
Not the Homberg!
😆🤣😂
Not the Hamburg!
Here cos of Mad Men season 1 episode 10 where they mention this product
This one i remember😅
Maypo❤ memories ❤
Oh, THAT'S what he said?
smooth and delicious, that's why we love it so
@xoxmagoo55 Oh man where are you getting Virtual Reality ads? Mine still only come on TV and online :(
Still my favorite hot cereal, but I can't find it in eastern Montana, moved here from Maine 16 months ago. Guess I'll have to order it online, just like marshmallow fluff ;-)
wow, this is seriously random, but quite funny! :)
didn't he say 'uncle'? I think that's the uncle staying over
Freaky commercial.
how is that 'torn'? you get to make money and make your kid a star.
Uh-OH! What did Dad do to have to sleep on the sofa?
You didn't listen very well, it's his uncle.
@@pinkyackerman677 Thank you. I caught it that time with your help. I am hard of hearing and have trouble making some words out.
