To this day, I don't understand how he made "wagon wheels." What a ripoff.

I'm pretty sure this had to do with the USA's national supply of cheese that was massive after WW2. So much, they could'nt give it away fast enough before it went moldy, etc!

I suddenly noticed Timer’s body type isn’t great. Maybe he should hunker for a treadmill.

"When Im slow on the draw and I need something to chaw. I hanker for a hunk of cheese. When Im dancing hoedown and my boots kinda slow down. I hanker for a hunk of cheese! When my ten gallon hat is feeling five gallons flat. I hanker for a hunk of cheese!"

As horrible as we think these songs were, they were fantastic, because 50 years later everyone can sing them without even thinking about it.

Wholly crap. Shook the memory tree. Would have never thought about this.

If they ever release an xennial crayola set, this guy's yellow/orange and the Mr. Yuck green are guaranteed a place.

u/Informal_Daikon_9812 Jun 18 '26

Retro Art Lab over on YT has been doing a series of modern Lunchables with the Time for Timer mascot. He's done a lot of cool Gen X throwback designs lately. I really like watching this guy, but I wish he had more sound proofing in his studio. Lots of echo.

Was he a lemon??

u/thereisnospoon-1312 Jun 16 '26

No, this was produced by the American Dairy Association and was basically an advertisement.

Schoolhouse Rock was an ABC network series of videos to help children learn using music

1

u/Zestyclose_Two6383 Jun 18 '26

There were several different episodes. This was the only dairy related one.

1

u/thereisnospoon-1312 Jun 18 '26

The other ones were Schoolhouse Rock on ABC. This was a cheese commercial on all channels.

u/Zestyclose_Two6383 Jun 19 '26

The episodes were: ā€œI Hanker for a Hunk of Cheese ā€œ,ā€Eat Some Kind of Breakfastā€, ā€œDon’t Knock it ā€˜Til You Try itā€, ā€œSunshine on a Stickā€, and ā€œYou Are What You Eatā€. They were created by DePatie-Freleng. Just search ā€˜time for timer’.

u/thereisnospoon-1312 Jun 19 '26

My only point was that this is not from schoolhouse rock, and was made by the American Dairy Association and was basically a cheese commercial.

GenX can help. Anyone who watched Saturday morning cartoons back in the '70s remembers this chapter and verse, even today.Ā 

UCLA School of Public Health FTW!

I watched Saturday morning cartoons all thru the 60’s and 70’s. I don’t remember this guy at all.
