Captain Tito Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 If breakfast cereal characters could collect unemployment there would be quite a long line, as many of the longtime animated Mateys of, say, the 1960s thru 1980s have had to walk the plank. Most notoriously are all the co-stars of Captain Crunch!! Now I like the guy, and the cereal, but its sad that the Crunchberry Beast, and that dog that used to be on his Peanut Butter Cereal, all got the heave ho!! Seems to me I remember another Captain Crunch co-star of some years back that was a mean Pirate. My memories were jarred even more when I walked into a collectors shop and saw a bobble head of the very Pirate. He was animated (well duh) wearing Pirate garb (double duh) and had an evil face kind of like Gargamel from the Smurfs. Thing is, he was in a container where I couldn't get at him. I don't remember what his name was!! Does anybody remember this Captain Crunch Pirate, and what his name was??? <span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'>Have Parrot Bay, will travel. WILL SHARE TOO!!!</span>

Capt Grey Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Aye! I remeber that scalliwag! That were back in the days when cereal charcters became cartoon characters with their own series; there was Captain Cruch, Sugar Bear, um.....that's all I remember. But I'm sure there were more. I may be old but me memory still works. (And if ye wants t'really sift through yer memories, there was me favorite cartoon - Johnny Quest! If ye be in Southern California, there be a convention in Del Mar this upcoming weekend and one o'me mates is going t'show the ORIGINAL first show of that series on FILM!) Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

silverhearted maggie Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I remember Jean LaFoote!!! You can also buy him as a Bendy-toy. I saw one at Junkman's Daughter in Atlanta a while back. Archie McFee also has a ton of pirate-y goodness. I have the shower curtains. I want the pirate rubber ducks, too. S.H. Maggie Long Live the crew of the CrimsonPermanent Assurance!

Mr_Scabbs Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 I used to think that Cap'n Crunch was a pirate. I was hurt when I found out that he was only just a cartoon version of the Quaker Oats man. Oooh! Look kids...a sailing Quaker! Now, that Jean LaFoote is a REAL pirate! I'd join forces with him any day. Together we'd take over Cap'n Crunch's ship, plunder all of the free plastic toys you find in his cereal boxes, pillage all of the crunch berry fields... Hell, maybe we'd even torture the Cap'n by scraping the roof of his mouth with Peanut Butter Crunch? LaFoote and I just might do it...if we have the time. "I like nachos. Mermaid nachos."

Captain Barbossa Posted June 8, 2004 Posted June 8, 2004 Tis way too funny, also brought back many a memory. Here's to the good ol' Cap'n Crunch!
LadyBarbossa Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Oooooh, dear... Aye... does show how old we are. I remember it... just ever so slightly. Along with watching "Smurfs" in the morning with "Ewoks" & everything else during the 80's. I think there were a couple Smurf episodes that had a couple pirates in them. Worse! Here we go mates! Was at Burger King the other days.. took my nephew & niece... they got Scooby Doo 2 toys - instead of Shrek 2, not sure why - & there was a Scooby ghost hunt that had a card one had to find the monsters in the card that were from various episodes. One of the "monsters" was ol' Redbeard the Pirate! If anyone remembers THAT episode! I think there were more than 1 pirate episode in the Scooby series though. & yes, watching the old Johnny Quest.. I think they had a pirate episode. WORSE! I was forced to watch "Dragontales" with my niece that same day... & low & behold... was the characters going on a treasure hunt! ::le sigh:: Oooooh, the old cartoons! Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
Dream Wench Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Nostalgia be a high....I remember tha original Capt Crook from Mac Donalds....they changed him..tho..I hate when they change things from bearable ta worse...they even tried ta bring back FIZZIES..but it failed. Ovaltine ain't tha same...an' 5 cent candy now be 50 cent..an filled with artificiality ! I remember Stretch Armstrong dolls. Arr ! Hang 'em from tha yardarm fer takin away our childhood. An No Three Musketeers bar for 'em. Dream Wench <-------feelin old...
