Subject: Chow Daddy Character
out of the entire internet, i can only find one reference to "Chow Daddy" - of 80's Saturday morning fame. where in the world can i get a chow daddy t shirt like the one he wears in the commercial, or any merchandise of any kind relating to chow daddy. just the rareness if it would make for a choice novelty item! any help would be appreciated!!!!!!
Subject: Re: Chow Daddy Character
Yeah, you’re right. The only reference to this guy leads back here.
I remember him well though. A guy with a lion looking mane and face painted accordingly, extolling the virtues of school lunch… pizza, burgers, and fries. It was probably mid-80s, and I can recall wondering why a Public Service announcement would feel the need to tell any kid that that needed more pizza, burgers and fries.
Sorry for being of little help. You know, now that I think of it, Chow Daddy could have just been local to the Boston area which would limit his potential for nationwide popularity.

quite possible.. I vaguely remember him myself..
the Boston area commercial from the 80s I want most, is of course "I can walk like a penguin"

Chow Daddy was a PSA created by the Ad Club of Greater Boston. I have an old VHS tape from 1992 when the spot was aired. Definitely a classic.

Hey Chuck, sorry, I don't have that one! That is another memorable commercial though. Someone's gotta have it.

You are in luck! I too have pulled my hair out for quite some time concerning the evasive "Chowdday" character. A fellow board poster sent me this. Go to this link.

Beautiful! Just what I was looking for. Thanks. The commercial was just as silly as I remember it. Unfortunately the video clip on the site is only the second half of the commercial. Does anyone know the words to the first half, aside from what I posted above already?

Just an FYI that the Chow Daddy site has moved to http://home.comcast.net/~aclopezjr/chowdaddy.htm
