  • I think I did a spit take the first time I saw this spot (Good thing I just happened to be recording Yogi Bear that day...) Some great animation of Ed Roth's monster characters!

    I was the copywriter who dreamed this spot up. To my knowledge it's the only time that Rat Fink ever spoke, so I got to give him the voice. It was a great experience working with Ed Roth. I still have notes from Ed during the animation process commenting on the progress, "fatten him up" as well as the original animation frames. My only copy exists on a decaying 3/4" video so I was excited to find this (at my 27 year olds request.)

      YOU did this? Thats awesome. I remember being a young child and singing this song was one of the little in-jokes my friends and I had through that whole year, practically. And we also sang the hamburger helper lasagna commercial, with the italian hand-puppet, from the same era.

    When a rat fink is done in he still makes a face and still is unwilling. That means he is on to you even though he is not around. It is like depositing money in the bank and the bank goes out of business one hour later. Your money is there still but the place of business is no longer functioning. Why does it seem like the same story but with a different scenario -- all the time?

    I did'nt see the ad , but I heard about it....The Rat Fink toys weren't available for long. I heard that only Toys 'R' Us was carrying them , but , they had none when I went there. I did find 'em , later. But , did they really think kids of 12 and under were going to care? God love 'em if they did. Roth said he hated them , they did'nt look like classic hot rods , and he hated the "Lipstick " look on Rat Fink. But , just the fact that there WAS a series of Rat Fink toys ( and , later, "Blink and you'll miss 'em" reissues of the models , too.) gave me cause to hope.
