I actually saw this on on some show on VH1 eight years ago. They were also talking about some crank call one of the Beastie Boys made to Cookie Puss creator Carvel.

    I remember this!!! You have to see Patton Oswalt the comedians jokes about those commercials.They are great.Those commercials used to freak me out a lil to be honest.

      Haha wow, i've seen this before.

      And yes, once the Beastie Boys got into the whole hip-hop scene (they started as a punk rock group back in 1979) they wrote a song called "Cooky Puss".

      It was on "Before They Were Rock Stars" on VH1, that's probably what you're referring to.

        I remember those ads, although I remember the ads with the raspy-voiced Carvel guy voiceover better ("We have Tom the Tuuw-key fuh Thanksgiving . . .").

          I slowed the audio down a little bit, and it turns out whoever did the voice of Cookie Puss was a woman with a Long Island accent.

              This shit is nightmarish... for some reason it gives me the creeps.

              There had to be some nefarious planning behind this marketing campaign. Its just too bizarre... I mean "Cookie Puss"? I couldn't come up with a stranger, more insinuating name if I tried.

                Cookie Puss was one of the creepiest food products ever, besides THE BIG FIG NEWTON. I do not like Cookie Puss, the freaky mf.

                  Yup, that's Tom Carvel doing the voiceover, all right.

                    Why is he called Cookie Puss when he looks nothing like a cat?

                      Notice how in a few of them, he thanks the viewers for watching the commercials. Now THAT is something which never happens anymore. Its crazy, but I bet if a company did that in a commercial, it'd get a good response.

                      Also, check out this one:

                      He he cracks a laugh in this one, like he's almost overcome with the dumb bullshit he's trying to sell. "And how about 'Cuppie the 'Tard'..." or whatever it is. I thought it was kind of funny.

                        ha! classic "Can I speak to Cooky Puss?"

                        Don't forget their other cake Fudgie the Whale. Also they had another jingle which went something like

                        We make fresh ice cream everyday at Carvel
                        America's freshest ice cream everyday at Carvel
                        Carvel... ice cream... Carvel... ice cream (repeat)

                            Sometimes old commercials and advertisements both on tv and on paper give me the creeps, I don't know why.

                              because they ARE creepy. I mean, COME ON, that Cookie Puss was a freaky, creepy thing. You are not alone.

                                Thanks, that's good to know. The only person in my house that can actually say they remember that is my mom and probably my big bro.

                                  Ok wait a minute, I don't know if this is all a strange coincidence or if this is what prompted the creation of this thread, but I saw this stuff last night:

                                  Coincidence #1: This week is Fudgie's 30th birthday and there's a new commercial airing about it.

                                  Coincidence #2: I heard on the news that Tom Carvel's niece wants his body exhumed for an autopsy because she thinks he was murdered.

                                  What the...?! :eek: lol
