The honey nut cheerios Bee is kinda generic and obvious. Captain Crunch reminds me of a creepy pedophile. I don't know what that vampire guy is, nor do I want to know. The leprechaun dude is pretty cool, but I hate his shoes. The rice crispy trio is rather annoying, plus they probably used some harmful chemical to make the cereal go pop. Cocoa puff bird looks a bit like a stoner, and I don't think anyone knows who the bear is. If I were to pick, it would be between the Trix Rabbit, Tony the Tiger, and the Fruit Loops Toucan, and my choice ultimately goes to Tony, who has the coolest voice. ("They're grrrrreat!)

I know of two of these.
Why isn't England blessed with such cartoon creations?
Why is the Coco Pops monkey the biggest in the names of cereal, except women who want to be skinny and those crazy crunchy nut things.

The pimp'n Sugar Bear got them all beat man.
In the nineties, he was cooler than Billy Dee Williams in a Colt45 commercial with Barry White playing in the background pimpalicious.:yes:

Tony represents the only one of those cereals that is even remotely palatable.....so clearly, it has to be him.

Oh come now, whos gunna screw with Snap, Crackle and Pop? They are like three little Joe Pescis running around screaming "Do I amuse you?!? Am I a Fucking Clown!?!" You dont mess with Snap, Crackle or Pop. End of story. Sugar Bear is like a groovy 70s hippy who would have some broken kneecaps before he could even begin to mutter whatever cute catchphrase his golden brown lips had been trained to utter by some corporate lackey...and Tony the tiger? Come on...hairy back and wee little balls. Steroid city. Plus notice they didnt name a sound of a body part breaking after Tony.

Oh yeah, it's been a while since I had that Sugar Crisp cereal...ok I'll pick the Sugar Crisp...now I'm in the mood for cereal.
Now here's my beef with these guys -
Buzz is generic, and he's an insect, and I find it difficult to want to eat cereal that is sold to me by insects. Just me I guess.
Cap'n Crunch needs to be in jail. As Timothy said, pedo alert there. Why would a 60+ year old man dressed like a sea admiral try to sell cereal to little kids? Always gave me the creeps. Plus his voice is more annoying than usual for cereal sellsman.
Chocula is the one I voted for, simply because he is the least politically correct of the bunch. He's technically a monster - and where as his counterparts Boo and Frank were made up to be kiddy and fun, there was always an aura of "Yes, I'm going to haunt you in your nightmares - this whole fun and game commercial thing is just a disguise that I'm putting on for the cash I need to come to your house". I find that remarkable.
Lucky is a sad attention seeker. If he really didn't want kids to find his lucky charms, he would burrow underground or make himself invisible or something. Come on, he's a Leprechaun!
Snap Crackle and Pop always irritated me and reminded me of an elven boy band who sucked so bad at singing that they had to start doing cereal commercials to make a living. Really sad bunch.
Sonny needs to be taped up in a chair and forced to watch all of his commercials on high speed with his eyes pryed open by toothpicks. Plus, he's an obvious speed addict, and thus shouldn't be selling cereal to kids.
Sugar Bear came in at a close second. He is by far the best character of the whole bunch, but he lacks the amusement factor that Chocula has. This guy is just a chilled out soul brotha who you want to hang with - he's not at all a cereal sellsman.
The Trix Rabbit is the representation of The Man versus The People. Trix keeps on getting his cereal, and the kids keep on taking it away. This guy is a frigid reminder of the many bad sides of capitalism.
Tony's catch phrase always irritated me, and his nakedness always felt awkward (though not entirely risque). Sort of reminded me of a naked John Goodman dressed up in a tiger suit trying to sell stuff; it just didn't work for me.
Toucan was okay before he got his annoying newphews in with him. He never really seemed to work out a permanent catchphrase or have a pattern to his commercials; they all seemed jumbled and sort of on-the-fly.
HOWEVER, the best cereal sellsman would obviously be Billy Mays, if he sold cereal, with Vince Shlomi (prostitute beater or not; nice avatar by the way, Bud) being a close second, again presuming he started selling cereal.

Meh, I know a few few of these corporate tools. I like the odd bowl of Rice Crispies with some sugar on. So it has to be SCP.
I'm more of a bagel, toast and muffin/pastry man myself.
Wait, now I'm hungry.

I am a tiger man myself (Love Siberian and White Tigers most) so Tony gets my vote.

This is possibly the most difficult question of my life. Who wins my vote, Tony or the Rice Krispy trio?!?
I think I will go for the Rice Krispy trio because in a fight I think they could cause some serious pain. Yeah, Tony IS a tiger, which in a fight would be fearsome, but he does not remind me of the Leprocorn, or an aquantince of mine called Findlay (who is very short) as the Rice Krispy trio do, so they earn my vote.
Trickey question, I took some serious thaught there! :D

totally agree. If Billy Mays sold turds Im sure he'd still find a way to make me buy it....speaking of such
I personally believe Billy set Vince up to get rid of any competition.
and i chose Tony the Tiger
GO TONY THE TIGER! :drool:
