Friends, I will do an introductory post later and spruce up my profile. First, I'd like a little support. Some insight. Others that might possibly remember a commercial that only myself and my best friend are SURE exists. No one else, older or younger can confirm, and I have not been able to find it on here.
For this toy (I think): http://www.toyscamp.com/viewproduct.asp?ProductID=IPITY5003&src=Froogle
The commercial had the construction guy from the front of the box in it, in puppet (muppet-esque) form. I think he was orange-complected and had quite a chin. He sang a jingle along the lines of:
"...put 'em together and what do you get? The Big Big Loader construction set! Big Big Loaderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."
Do any of you remember this commercial? Please tell me that I was not freaking out on fumes from my Shrinky Dinks!

Thank you for compiling an intelligent and original post...they seem to be few and far between these days!
As for the toy you mentioned, I never had one, but I'm sure I bugged the heck out of my parents to get one.

Hey, Nippy, thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it. :)
I am just...augh! This mysterious commercial thing is eating at my very soul.

I can confirm that without a doubt, this commercial did exist. I believe it aired around 1994 and possibly through 1995. I've recently seen it on one of the VHS tapes I was reviewing for piecing together cartoon schedules of the past. Unfortunately I currently don't have access to the tapes nor do I know which tape it's on, so I can't exactly upload it for you. Nevertheless, if I ever do come across it when I get the chance, I will be more than happy to upload it for you, though I can't promise if or when.
Hope this information helps.

THANK YOU! :D I would seriously sock a baby for that commercial. Not really...but...well...depends on the baby and how saucy I'm feeling.

Yeah, I remember that. When I was kid, I used to tape episodes of Batman & X-men and stuff. A lot of commercials ended up on those tapes too. That was one of them. I remember thinking that puppet kinda sucked at singing.

big big loader
put it together and what do you get?
big big loader construction set!
youtube videos under "big loader"
still available online, usually with thomas the tank engine theming, but no sign of the classic commercial

The thing about the Big Big Loader was that it wasn't just some shitty-ass Big Loader.
No no no! It was the Big BIG Loader. And I think that is what made all the difference.

Here's a video of it in action! (Sorry, not the commercial)
