Not the Wuzzles?

I know exactly what you're talking about. I even remeber most of the song on the comercial. " A Furfel's a double have you heard of a Fird? A Fird is a fish, who is also a bird. Have you met a Dicken who's twice the fun? When your dog is a chicken. Hey that's butterfrog on a turtle. No that turtles a bear, his name is Beartle." I don't remeber the rest of the song but there's also elefunky (elephant and monkey). At the very end of the commercial a real dog says Furfel. The only reason I remeber this is because we had it on a recorded superman cartoon tape. My friends and I would rewind it and laugh our butts off at the rediculous commercial. What a great memory.

We need more people on the Internet to comment about this. Furfel's were the Gobots of Wuzzles (Gobots to Transformers). It seemed every time some genius in the 80s came out with a ridiculously popular toy some knock-off company tried to cash in on it by making a cheaper version. Wuzzles had a cartoon with a lion / unicorn as the main character and Furfels had... an elephant / monkey. It was destined for failure from day 1. I also owned a videocassette that had the commercial. The videocassette was, get this, a Warner Brothers anti-Nazi propaganda skit. Apparently these things were very popular in the 40s. Daffy Duck parachutes into Nazi controlled territory and constantly berates the commander in charge. At one point he actually dresses like Hitler to trick him and the commander sees him and stops, with a hand raised in the air, and yells "HEIL HITLER!" Ah, things were so much simpler then. EDIT: I recently discovered the videocassette goes for about $200 on Ebay. :-(

I had the commercial on tape, too!! We'd watch it over and over and over...and I can't find the VHS tape anymore! Not that I have a VCR, but still!! I want to see it again!!! Can't find it anywhere.

OMG me and my brithers had these as kids I always thought they were just cheap generic stuffed amimals I had Bertle, my older btother had butterfrog and my younger brother had Elefunky. We loved them.

Yes, these were called Wuzzles. My daughter had the "Shamel" (half sheep/half camel) and my son had the "Burtle" (half bear/half turtle). They were incredibly sute stuffed toys :)

i had the burtle toy up untill i turned 12, i loved that little freak lol

We need to have a clip of the commercial

@Patrick: I think the commercial ended "...each one is a 2 - 2 feature creatures with hearts just like you!" There's another line in there somewhere, but I can't remember. We had a tape of it on a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Would love to see that commercial again!

To becky, Those are not Wuzzles. They are Firfeels.That is the spelling I got off a sewing pattern for one of them.
