Skip It (1990)

never knew anyone that owed one,but I still find my self siging the jingle

that was fun. we had those at school.

I had a bright pink Skip-It....

my best friend had one. never was any good at it.

I use to have a skip it but it got scracthed on the bottom. when I was playing with it

i was not a coordinated child. I would always hit my ankles with the ball

Awesome toy but tore my damn ankles up!

Iwent through 3 of these!

Wow! talk about a blast from the past.. I remember the song lol skip it, skip it!

AWWW i miss my skip it, seriously i want one again are they still out? i'll buy it

Skip-It was the best! I had like three of them! My brother broke the ball off the first one. My sister snapped the stick in half, and I still have my third one somewhere.

I nearly broke my neck one time with this thing

Wont lie - I loved it and was damn good at it!!! Me and my friends would see who could get the most..

I had three of these... two of which broke and one was lost/stolen. I loved it so much though. So much that I tried to make one by filling a plastic bottle with rocks and tying a long shoe string onto it, which resulted in a painfully scraped knee.

I remember Skip-it, I still have it, a purple one, at first I had toubling skipping the skip-it, but I keep practing and I got it better.

skip-it RULED! HAHA

I was always amazed by the counter...

I had one of these and I was SO PISSED because I couldn't do it, and I had this friend named Stacy who was really good at it, and she would be like, "it's okay if you're not good at it, you know. Not that many people are as good as the kids in the commercial." Which was easy for her to say.

Oh my god, my cousin had one of these and I remember wanting one sooooo bad but my mom wouldn't get me one.

i could never do it
but i still played with it everyday
and that darn jingle is so catchy

i like to skip it.

I've probably seen this commercial more than any other (Toy) commercial, and I've always been more concerned about the play ground that they're at. some of those things don't even exist, anyway I'm thankful I was able to see this commercial once more

oh gosh, i still sing this jingle to drive people nuts. skip-it was the epitome of my childhood

This commercial would play on t.v all the time and I would never see anyone at school play with one of these things I guess because they didnt want to bring it. Actully I never knew one girl that owned one

Tell me about it. My twin sister ALWAYS hit her shin or ankle with that. LOL.

Loved that toy

It was fun for a while-
until it banged against your ankle. That was always such a bitch.

lol I remember this commercial

I had a "skip it" and I loved it because it was cool being able to tell how long I skipped with the counter!

The short version, I see. We actually had similar things to these in a gym class I was in many years ago. This must've been one of the first efforts to get kids into shape, thus foreshadowing the health fanaticism of modern culture.
