Post sponsored a cartoon called Linus the Lionhearted which was basically a showcase for their cereal mascots, and So-Hi was apparently created for that show. He even got his own coloring book adventure! Unfortunately for him, the FCC ruled that children's programming had to be somewhat better than just corporate icons telling kids to buy garbage food. Programmers immediately sought new ways to get around the rule of course, but in the meantime Linus the Lionhearted was promptly canned. A quick trip around the breakfast cereal forums (yeah, that's a thing) will find plenty of elderly bigots and middle-aged edgelord-wannabes either claiming that So-Hi isn't stereotypical at all, or straight-up reveling in his stereotype. I even came across one buffoon screaming "How is So-Hi racist but 'Kung Fu Panda' isn't?" (shakes head) Some people are stupid beyond all hope.

Breakfast!
Not gonna lie, I love the first commercial most of all, RIP Krinkles 🤡
I feel nostalgia even though its the first time seeing some of these commercials.
_How exactly did we go from creepy clown to stereotypical chinese-man?_

Me watching the clown commercials: This can't possibly get any worse!
So Hi: Herro!
Me: Oh for fuck's sake!!!
Exactly just how does one "Krinkle on down to the store"?
It's just an expression like stroll down or waltz on
Crunchy bones you must have

I think this is where Stephen King got Pennywise from.
The asian sterotype was funny not gonna lie
They had free car inside?
i want this.
"Its soooo good i *K R I N K L E* every time i eat it!"
07:24 "I wonder what it's like to smile and be happy"
explosion
*So Hi* was even creepier than *Krinkles*
For me, I can’t tell which is worse.
I like Krinkles and So-Hi, they’re friendly and innocent to me.
But why?🤨🤨🤨🤨

0:03. Here i am wheeze!!🤡🤡
I miss these old cereal boxes 🥣
love how they went from scary friendly clown to an asian dude
This is a cute commercial but someone made a horrifying version of it.
Oh my teeth are aching just tasting those rice krinkles! I want to eat some!!!
But closest I can get to rice cereal is Rice Krispies *I NEED SOME!!!*
Back then clowns did their job very well and not make us scary not like now so many horror clown film and it was the most mistake ever!!!
One other fact to So-Hi...his name suggests a euphemism to getting addicted...whether it's sugar...or cocaine! XD
I like post cocoa pebbles no good with the cereal sugar rice krinkles
Clown: hey Kid
Kid: what
Clown: pie face
*throwing pies at face intestifies*
0:09 - 0:12 dude became nikacado avacado for a second
I think my dad has one of those toy mustangs
Creepy wicked clowns from ICP.
“Krinkling” was a 1960s term for when you didn’t wipe your ass and went grocery shopping.
Who are still here in 2020
Cereal killer… get it?
2:08-7:00 that's raisit
Wild man1314
**RAISIT**
Well, it’s better than a creepy clown
Sugar Rice-st
R i c e i s t
Ever since I posted this comment people began making fun of how I spelled Racist as raisit but I should have said riceist
and now in type 1
no...honey no...this isn't how you sell cereal...
Does anyone still have those So-Hi toys?
Is the kid at 2:20 "David Collins" from Dark Shadows? (Wow! I'm really showing my age...)
But the first 1 krinkles isnt even scary :
Oh god it’s racist. What made them go from friendly clown to just… that😭
Did he just eat cereal without milk 😪
When was this cereal discontinued?
1969. It was so that fruity pebbles wouldn't have any competition.
@@philiproe1661 So Fruity Pebbles was basically a Krinkles rebrand?
@@WinkDaMan07
In a way yes.
United States, 1956
the first 1 i mean the cereal looks like beans in this footage just look at this 0:28
The 3rd is fi-
Creepy version:
ua-cam.com/video/9Xm9F7JJ3r0/v-deo.html
1:26 ... 😐
y este cereal cual de los actuales viene siendo? para mi es como el corn pops
That's just creepy
So my choices are nightmare fuel clown or icon of cultural insensitivity? And his name is So Hi? Well, someone sure had to have been...
What's with finding scary about most clowns? 🤡 I love clowns.🍦 If the ones are horror related, I even thought they look cool 😈
That got racist quickly
First one is original
Get him off he scare
I'm concerned
the woman in the 3rd commercial looks familiar. was she in the sound of music?
Ronald McDonald is creepy too
I DISAGREE!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
The clown is disturbing the eyes are disturbing
father nexbot 0:17 - 0:18
This is disturbing
