Yabba-dabba-fruitylicious-doo

Is it just me, or does anyone else experience frighteningly detailed flashbacks to this Fruity Pebbles holiday commercial from the ’80s?

Fred (singing to a tune reminiscent of “Deck the Halls”)
     Season’s greetings in our souls,
     Yummy Fruity Pebbles in our bowls.
     Uh-oh, here comes you-know-who.

Santa (entering via chimney, taking bowl of Pebbles from Fred)
     Yabba-dabba-fruitylicious-doo!

Barney (dressed as Santa, also entering via chimney)
     Ho-ho-ho! I’m hu-hu-hungry!
     Santa! My Pebbles!

Fred (violently angry)
     Your Pebbles?!?

Santa (jolly, all-knowing)
     ’Tis the season to be sharing, Fred.

Fred (sharing his Fruity Pebbles with Barney)
     Happy holidays, pal.

Barney (lovingly)
     Aww…Fred.

Nothing helps to make the season bright like two prehistoric cavemen setting aside their differences to celebrate the (future?) birth of Christ and sell a few boxes of tooth-rotting cereal. Anyway, thanks to the magic of the Interweb, I was able to track down the commercial in Windows Media format at X-Entertainment. Enjoy!

    I’ve been aware of your weird, semi-phonographic memory for some time, but I too remembered most of that one. My wife and I were most impressed by your ability to recite Slick Rick’s “Ladi Dadi” in its entirety after not hearing the song in probably 15 to 20 years.
