As a child back in the early 60's I really wanted one of these but never received it. For that era, this type of technology was very new as well as expensive. Now, some 50 years later, I have managed to get this 'vintage toy' (in mint condition) simply for nostalgia, and on comes the challenge of explaining to my grandkids why they cannot play with it, alongside explaining to my grown kids why I wanted it... LOL!
I was lucky enough to get Gaylord for Christmas when he came out! (I think it came from my Great Aunt & Uncle who had money & no kids.) I loved Gaylord SO MUCH! We had him for YEARS until he got ruined in a flood. Before that, my little sister & I used to love watching our cat & our REAL Basset Hound react to Gaylord! (The cat usually hissed; Dagmar the Basset would bark at Gaylord & stay at least 8 feet away from him!!!)
@@mmee7726 sounds cute! I got myself a robot cat at a thrift store to see if my cat might like it… it would vibrate when you made it purr and my cat just loved the vibrations. She’d pet herself on it. Lol
I have to feel like... even back then it was a silly name. even when gay means 'happy and carefree' it's still kind of a goofy thing to say and include in a name, especially with the somewhat incongruous 'lord' added.
I remember this ad. Wow that looks like a real fun toy....a dog that moves a foot every 15 minutes, and....I'll bet you that thing must have eaten batteries like there was no tomorrow.
i had a Gaylord ,i was 6 in 1962 and remember walking him down down the sidewalk i must have gotten him for my birthday because it was warm out( Michigan ) never knew what happen to Gaylord but my Mom had a habit of tossing away our stuff while we were at school.
@@MilesTailsProwerfan9 Lol i won't dispute that at all , I see all these babyboomers with toys that were saved in the attic and am jealous. they sell on ebay occasionally .
Sounds like your Gaylord could have possibly ran away or gotten hit by a car and your mom just didn't have the heart to tell you so she would throw away your other toys in an effort to gaslight you into thinking she did the same with Gaylord. That's my theory anyways. Poor Gaylord, he probably never saw it coming til it was too late or he could still be out there somewhere, lost and wandering around, slowly moving inch by steady inch desperately trying to survive and conserve battery life while trying to find his way back to you or looking for his dear bone of his own. I know a long time has passed but I would put up flyers and keep up on the search if I were you. I've heard people over the years have been finding Gaylords and putting them up on ebay to try and relocate them to a better home so maybe yours ended up on there, just waiting for you to someday discover his whereabouts. Or go the route none of us really wants to take in life and finally have a serious discussion with your mother about Gaylords true whereabouts. Tell her that you think you're finally old enough to handle the truth of what really happened to Gaylord the Dog. I understand it may still be too soon for you and the wounds fresh and that you may not actually be old enough to handle some of these harsh realities of life, but some closure on the matter could really turn your life around and you can finally begin the healing process. Lol.
Heres an exrpt of the Consumer Rpoerts review of Gaylord: "Back in 1963, one of our engineers walked Gaylord-the Zhu Zhu pet hamster of its day-on a wire leash connected to a machine that calculated the dog’s appetite for D-size batteries. The toy pooch, shown at right, gobbled up four Ds every 1 1/2 to 2 hours, which would have cost parents a lot more than Gaylord’s original $10 sticker price if he needed weekly feedings."
They may have reversed the tape, but I had one and he did walk backwards. Pull the leash once he walked forward. Pull it again he stopped. Pull it again he walked backwards. Oh god, that commercial was a blast from the past. Makes me feel my age. 50!!!
why didn't they just show it? I know people were gullible and probably ignorant to how film works, but when making commercial, why look deceitful when you don't have to?
Am restoring this toy. Let me tell you this toy was whey ahead of its time. I have restored many old toys, and I must say this is one of the hardest. It has a very big motor with a 4 wheel chain drive. Remember this was around in 1960.
My sister and I had Gaylord! My mom used to yell at us because she would walk into a room and Gaylord would stuck with his nose against a piece of furniture, feet moving and batteries wasting while we were off playing elsewhere in the house. I loved that doggie!
My mother recently passed away, and I was cleaning out her basement in her house. I found the Gaylord dog toy that I had when I was a little kid. I am going to take it home and put some batteries in it. I hope it still works.
My mother was furious with me.I had a friend whose family business was with the program,I gave it to him to take to their store.She always claimed I gave to him & practically called me a liar when I told her it was for Toys forTots.@@Juliaflo
I had one. I was terrified of it. A strange grinding noise came out when it walked and it scared me. Everyone else played with it but I couldn't stand it.
Ahhh, I had a Gaylord toy in '64....just found a pic of me and him! Brings back wonderful memories of my beloved mom and dad, those were the days my friends❤🐕😊
The term 'gay' was already being used as early as 1950 in newspaper clippings from police raids, so I'm going to suggest that it was already taking on that meaning by then, a view that the liner notes of a CD of ads, etc., done by Raymond Scott (who did the theme for this commercial) supports. 'gay' has had a connotation of unconventional sexuality since at least the 1600s, though it admittedly meant more like 'libertine' until the 1920s or so, when it started to shift.
That's veteran voice-over announcer and actor Mason Adams {who was most famous for appearing on "LOU GRANT" and his Smucker's commercials} as the announcer here...
on dog trainer now for real. LOL My favorite toy of all time as a kid. I begged my parents fo rone and got it for Christmas in 1962. I am a professional dog trainer now for real
Gaylord and Milky the milkin' cow have to be the greatest toys ever! "A bone of his own!"... Does this song remind anyone else of an old Disney cartoon?
When I was a toddler I had hobby horse(had wheels and could sit on it) I named it Gaylord after this commercial.....Not that there's anything wrong with that
accully, gaylord was a name (and still is, but no parent would name their kid gaylord now) It was a name for boys and men tho. Look it up in the dictionary, it is a real name.
I LOVE Gaylord he is literally SO ideal why would youw ant an anything else when Gaylord is here and he is not going anywhere he won't leave. help help. jelp. help. help. I LOOVE GAY lord. He is the dog !

🤣
I mean wouldn't you if you had that name?
@@thee2724 a happy lord? Grow up
BACK UP, GAYLORD!
M Fitzburger A T T A B O Y
Back it the fuck up
I know this is unintentional, but I can't be the only one laughing at the concept of someone named Gaylord kept on a leash.
there's a name in Russian that sounds similar to sir gay, that would be Sergei...
@@vladimirirkhinsounds funnier for a spanish speaker honestly
Not the only one. LOL
coming with a bone of his own.
I’m still waiting for straightlord
Wouldn't the opposite be StraightLady?

did it actually go backwards? Because it looks like they just reversed the footage.
Gaylord doesn't look kinda crazy. He looks like he damn well knows what he's doing.
*gaylord comes with a BONE of his own*
Masker the disaster oh no
You just had to drag it down into the gutter didn't you?
69 likes. Nice.
The word 'Gaylord' makes me giggle
I have to feel like... even back then it was a silly name. even when gay means 'happy and carefree' it's still kind of a goofy thing to say and include in a name, especially with the somewhat incongruous 'lord' added.
...Happy lord... pfft..
Kairu Hakubi so when we say gay pride were saying carefree or happy pride?!
Lol
@@KairuHakubi You have to remember, it was almost 60 years ago. I had one myself, and loved him. Can't recall what happened to him.

man when i read that i was really hoping that when i looked at your channel that i would see vids of you restoring old toys lmao
I- I don't think they knew. That makes it even better. All hail Gaylord.

at 0:11 they cut the film. He probably fell over trying to get out of that tube
"gaylord comes with a bone of his own"
+Coolnventions ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
😂😂😂😂😂😂
We'll I guess this was appropriate back then as a name
*well
Cuz Gay meant happy
My mother recently passed away, and I was cleaning out her basement in her house. I found the Gaylord dog toy that I had when I was a little kid. I am going to take it home and put some batteries in it. I hope it still works.
Did it work?
who names their dog "Gaylord"
those were different times
No one
Hyun
@@colliedog2255 those who lived in a time where ppl weren't so sensitive would not care I mean remember some kids were named this too
@@EdibleFuture Probably more the case that the word didn't have the same connotations it does now. "Gay" used to mean "happy" and "jolly".
I got a Gaylord for Christmas right after it was first marketed in 1962.After outgrowing it,I donated it to Toys for Tots.
How philanthroipic of you.
My mother was furious with me.I had a friend whose family business was with the program,I gave it to him to take to their store.She always claimed I gave to him & practically called me a liar when I told her it was for Toys forTots.@@Juliaflo
I still have mine. I got him for Christmas. I'm 69 years old now. He's up in the top of the closet.
I had one. I was terrified of it. A strange grinding noise came out when it walked and it scared me. Everyone else played with it but I couldn't stand it.
I was afraid of it too. My big brother Randy took it over and I stayed clear of him and gaylord
I HATE THE AD IN ALL

Kevin Murphy's Christmas Present :)
"You do like to walkity-walkity-walk. I think that is indisputable."
Thank you for being the other person who came here for that amazing gift
My new goal in life is to find one of these and own it
"Gaylord! When you pull his leash he'll walkity walkity walk with you!"
"Arf arf!"
He comes with a bone(r) of his own!

Wow...lies! He didn't back up. They just reversed the commercial. D:
Yep. 🤦♀️
Mag Magnet does it matter
Oooh I see it now
0:20 *
Ah yes the first form of A Money bait.
Fun Fact: There's an ice-cream in my freezer that I found today...
Name: 'Gaytime'.
i searched for him so long and finally i found him ty mr.
I remember this commercial when i was around 6
I had that toy in 63,never forget the name.
The kids in the ad are all grown up now, and somewhere, someone was raised by any one of them.
At 0:22 you can see they reversed the clip...
"Gaylord even comes with a bone"
I mean, he is gaylord after all...
my ass woulda stayed in the primordial soup if i knew there was gonna be days like these
About a year or two ago they kept playing this song on the radio, weird stumbling upon it here!
love this! Having a flashback!
THAT SONG IS STUCK IN MY HEAD NOW
I had one of these dogs when I was a kid.
>Tfw usually old names get cool again as new children are born
>Tfw Gaylord too
He come's with a bone of his own. Oh god
He is beautiful!! Just like a basset should be!
I Agree

My dad had one of these when he was a kid!
"Gaylord comes with a bone of his own"
When you pull his "leash" he'll walkity walkity walk with you.

@AvitalzCartoonz wow I didn't see that till you mentioned it. the boy even rekissed his nose.
GAAAAAYYYYYYYOOOOOOORRRRRDDDDD!!!!!
He's a WONDERFUL toy!
its such a catchy tune =]
Name aside, I'm just astounded they had toys this advanced back then.
what an unfortunate name. still, it's a pretty cute toy
Unfortunate? I'm naming my next dog Gaylord because it's awesome if you think about it. Gay Lord.
But he looks so cute whenever he’s his original colour
So THIS is the ad he's been bangin on about for the last week.
Back up Gaylord!
When I was a toddler I had hobby horse(had wheels and could sit on it) I named it Gaylord after this commercial.....Not that there's anything wrong with that
I WANT ONE!
RBTV incoming ;)
shiit that kid whistles better then me
Thanks to speakerD for revealing this horrific contraption to me and all of chat.
Gaylord the toy Dog one of the best toy i had as a kid for christmas i miss it made good toys back then a real good toy
I had one of these. Wow!
There needs to be a RiffTrax for this commercial.
I heard that, probably at the same time as you. Poor guy, he didn't even have 75p! This is so cool!
appropriate name for the toy.
At 0:49 "Gaylord comes with a bone of his own." Oooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
Little did they mention just how loud this toy was.
0:10 THIS DOG MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD THE WAY HE WALK!
Haha, watch when he 'walks back' they just reversed the tape
Too cute!
This is stuck in my head
THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!
my christmas list is complete
What a good find by Scott Mills lol legend
I wish they would put the year on these ads.
after 0:15 I thought it was say "walk and fucking walk with you", every time until the subtitles at the end. O.o.
buenisimo... pero le puedo subir la RAM????
accully, gaylord was a name (and still is, but no parent would name their kid gaylord now) It was a name for boys and men tho. Look it up in the dictionary, it is a real name.
I saw one at the thrift store and now i reallt regret not getting him :(
Would anybody know where to get one of these? Other then eBay of course. My dad had this as a little kid and I would like to get it for him as a gift.
my thoughts exactly
Yeah, I saw that!
GAYLORD!!
why is he not coming?
Rifftrax brought me here
I LOVE Gaylord he is literally SO ideal why would youw ant an anything else when Gaylord is here and he is not going anywhere he won't leave. help help. jelp. help. help. I LOOVE GAY lord. He is the dog !
I had one, too. 52 here!
Anyone ever read the book "The Kid in the Red Jacket" by Barbara Park? The protagonist, Howard Jeeter, has a baby brother named Gaylord. 😀
accully, gaylord was a name (and still is, but no parent would name their kid gaylord now) It was a name for boys and men tho.
