10 Greatest US Christmas Commercials Of All Time

6. Fruity Pebbles Christmas Commercial

It's Christmas in Bedrock and and Barney is up to his old tricks trying to steal Fred's Fruity Pebbles cereal. As is the case with claymation, an animated cartoon (well-made of course) always impresses me more than if the advertisers had gone the standard live-action route. Plus, you just can't go wrong with the Flintstones. The commercial has a great Christmas feel going on with the rhyming and carolers, and who doesn't love the happy ending where Fred finally decides to share the bounty with his friend? Well I for one certainly didn't. Fruity Pebbles are a sacred institution in my house. If I was Fred and saw Barney trying to steal my Pebbles on Christmas eve (especially while impersonating Santa, which is basically sacrilege) I would have given him a very personal and painful introduction to my nutcracker. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ascGaupawO0

Raymond Woods is too busy watching movies to give you a decent bio. If he wasn't too busy watching movies and reading books about movies and listening to podcasts about movies, this is what he'd tell you. "I know more about film than you. Accept this as a fact and we might be able to talk."
