MoreTime for Timer

.

This was another Time for Timer. Not as awesome as the other one... less clever, and the voice guy is forcing the whole Texan accent, which kinda kills it. Kind of cheesy, if you'll forgive the pun.




The Time for Timer PSAs were actually a "spinoff" of The Incredible, Indelible Magical Physical Mystery Trip, produced in 1973 as an ABC after school special. I remember seeing this damn cartoon (yes, when it originally aired - I'm THAT old), and it may have sucked for all i know but I thought it was an awesome adventure!

This one's a little better:



The voice is that of Len Maxwell, who did voices for the Batfink cartoons back in the 60s and, more recently, Celebrity Death Match! This one's great too, but the quality is a little crappy:



Timer was created by none other than DePatie Freling, the nuts who did the Pink Panther series. The similarities are very noticable at times.

Oh! So that's the guy they made fun of one time in Family Guy! Thanks for enlightening me with these videos.

By the way, that kid got what he deserved. Who the heck says "make me a banana"? Was the cheese guy just supposed to make a banana appear out of nowhere like some Indian holy man? Now he's condemned to dance the Peanut Butter Jelly song for the rest of his life.
