It's Saint Patrick's Day yet again, and just as I did last year, I felt I should dedicate today's post to everyone's favorite Zetoxian, the Great Gazoo! This year, I'm sharing two commercials from Cartoon Network in the early 2000s featuring Gazoo, beginning with one from the year 2000 promoting a block entitled "My Favorite Fred". Gazoo gives us the lowdown on what the block is, and it even ends with a plug for the Viva Rock Vegas film, which saw the live-action debut of the Great Gazoo. Thankfully, they spare us from seeing any clips of that particular version of the character.
The second ad aired in 2003 as part of Cartoon Network's "NBA All-Star Slam", which saw various NBA players sit down and chat with their favorite cartoon characters. In this particular promo, Latrell Sprewell talks with Gazoo, who, despite Gazoo's insistence, is not his favorite character. For more of these clips and Sprewell's actual favorite, check out this post from 2023. I'm also not entirely sure who voices Gazoo in these ads. I believe it's Jeff Bergman, but it may be somebody different.
