Remember the House Hippo?

By at 17:08:39 on Sep 16, 2007 in commercials, Nostalgia

I’ve been watching old commercials all afternoon on YouTube. Send me more! I demand that someone finds me Thomas Cavanagh doing Labatt Blue Light (“If I wanted water, I’d ask for water!”), because I can’t seem to track it down.

I wish I hadn’t been such a nerd, and edited all the commercials out of my VHS tapes of the X-Files most of the time. Or that I hadn’t thrown the tapes away when the show came out on DVD.

    (Correction… I’ve been looking at old Canadian commercials, because that’s where I lived at the time.)

    (Somebody also needs to find me a picture of that fucking green puppet we used in French class. I can’t properly spell the name, so boo, hiss, boo.)

    I have no idea what that puppet looks like, and it seems I never will. My google-fu is lacking.

    Not even searching in French yielded any results, just loads of PDF files with lesson plans. Although I did find out you can order your very own dimoitou for a whopping $52.95, but I’m not sure if that’s US or CDN.

    I don’t know if the local Wal-Mart has a pets section, but I’m sure they’re available at PetSmart.

    Hm.

    $52.95 is too much for relatively low quality nostalgia from 3rd grade French class.

    Um. Grade three French class, that is.

    Dimoitou looks like… well, a fuzzy green hand puppet. Maybe with a beret, at times. ‘Cause he’s French.
