    Bubo the Owl from Clash of the Titans vs Mr. Owl from Tootsie Pops

    Vote here for Mr. Owl

    In the original television ad, a questioning boy (voiced by Buddy Foster) proposes the question to a cow (voiced by Frank Nelson), a fox (voiced by Paul Frees), a turtle (voiced by Ralph James) and an owl (voiced by Paul Winchell). Each one of the first three animals tells the kid to ask someone else, explaining that they would bite a Tootsie Pop every time they lick one. Eventually, he asks the owl, appearing wise, who offers to investigate. He starts licking the orange Tootsie Pop, but bites into it after only three licks. The child walks away, saying to himself, “If there’s anything I can’t stand, it’s a smart owl.” The commercial ends the same way, with various flavored Tootsie Pops unwrapped and being “licked away” until being crunched in the center with Herschel Bernardi asking, “How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie pop? The world may never know.”

      Wow, nothing about Bubo? My man got the eye from the witches, saved Perseus, and helped him defeat the Kraken. He’s a hero. Mr. Owl just ate some candy.

        Bubo’s entry is farther down the comments. He currently only has one upvote so if you would like to support him send some love his way.

        Can you believe how little screen time they gave Bubo in the remake?! The single biggest mistake they made, and by the gods, they made a few
