I remember seeing these commercials when I was a kid talk about nostalgia. A great man who gave us plenty of amazingly memorable characters throughout our childhood and adulthood. RIP Gilbert Gottfried you will be missed.
Someone make a kickstarter for Gilbert Gottfried smoke detectors that just angrily cough and yell *ITS DISGUSTING* instead of beeping. I need that right now.
Worse if you have multiple detectors, the chirp isn't long enough to pinpoint and you end up going thru the whole damn house trying to figure out which one it is.
I heard about Gilbert Gottfried through Cyberchase, as he voiced Digit. That really made Digit iconic. He did a wonderful job, and he'll truly be missed.
I saw this commercial more times than I can even count during Saturday morning and weekday afternoon cartoons. I guess I can thank the algorithm for another piece of nostalgia. Rip Gilbert Gottfried
I don’t know what’s more horrifying: being taken back to the 90s when a fire safety jingle is catchy, or that a puppet with Gilbert Gottfried’s likeness is significantly distorted while emitting a soul piercing sound.
As creepy and batshit weird this is. I’m pretty sure most will be coming back to this now that Gilbert Gottfried has recently passed away. RIP. Your unique voice may have been really grating to most but even you were able to create something hilarious even in a bad movie.
the other way around for me....for years i had this image in my head but couldnt put a finger on what show it was... honestly i thought it was Pee-Wee Herman....totally forgot about this and the old Smokey The Bear commercials
I know him (not personally) from voicing this character call, "Digit" from my childhood show, Cyberchase. Hearing his voice made me think of that Robot Bird. Rest In Peace Double G. 🙏
I loved this fire safety video as a kid. The smoke detector voiced by Gilbert always made me go "ooo here he comes!" I will miss you Gilbert. We will all miss you.
Saw this all the time as a kid, had it on VHS, and upon watching it again, realized we needed to change the batteries in our smoke detectors. Thank you, Gilbert Gottfried and others from 1996.
I'm glad this project is getting some recognition it deserve. I'm sure many of us saw this as a VHS tape back in the 90s and early 2000s in elementary school. Rest in peace Gilbert Gottfried
oh shit how come nobody told me he died i thought he was still alive since i just watched his performance as God on Smiling Friends i deadass thought this comment was a “haha rip but he’s not actually dead” joke and i actually laughed before looking it up, tragic shit
Rest in piece, Gil. Lion King was my first exposure to you as a kid and man you delivered a great intro to you work…you will be missed by us all. Rest well, old friend. ❤️
Gilbert gottfried wasn’t in Lion King. You’re probably mistaking Iago from Aladdin, which he did play, for Zazu from Lion king which was played by Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean
My dad is a firefighter who brought this video into my classes when I was young. Between kindergarten to like, 4th grade, I don't remember. Sad to see him go.
I remember this PSA from when I was a kid. Gilbert Gottfried was terrific as Seymour Smoke Detector. He was also memorable as the voice of Iago in Aladdin. R.I.P Gilbert...you will forever be remembered. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Some weeks ago, I watched this for the first time with my family and laughed my head off... Few days later, one of my favorite voice actors passes away.😞
"I make this noise to warn you: *ungodly scream"* That should be a video response anytime someone on a message board posts something nasty to warn other commenters from hitting play.
Well that "ungodly scream" was the real sound smoke alarms made in the 70's and early 80's used ! There is a chance of coming across a video of a real one sounding like that if you search for "old smoke alarm" or "vintage smoke alarm". Or for an even worse sound, "old Firex smoke alarm"
@@imaginox9 What model/make of the old/vintage smoke detector is Seymour Smoke Detector based on? I enjoyed seeing seeing this commercial when I was a kid especially the noise, but I’m still scared of the fire alarm in real life probably because of my autism.
@@videoguy100 Judging by its shape and the vents I'd say some old BRK smoke alarm from the 70's. As for the sound, Seymour Smoke sounds like basically like any smoke alarm from the 70's/early 80's with the old high pitched horn, a good example is the First Alert SA76RS. There was also a (very) low pitched horn on old hardwired smoke alarms (a good example being the old Firex one, forgot the model)
I watched this in grade school and got nightmares from it, finding it years later that gilbert gottfried voiced it leaves me at peace finally. RIP gilbert gottfried
These ads went on for years and years, there were other versions than this. I remember seeing it on NBC at least once every Saturday for about a decade and remember the full song too...."Be Cool About Fire Safety, if you don't wanna get burned, Be Cool About Fire Safety, you gotta lot to learn!"
HOLY SHIT! Talk about a repressed memory. I remember having nightmares about a smoke alarm with a clown face as a kid, and I'm only now realizing that it most likely stemmed from this commercial. (Also RIP Gilbert Gottfried)
I remember seeing this when i was in preschool....Later that night I hid under my covers from my smoke detector
It scared u

@@riskgabe9976HELP! HEEEELPP!
This man has such an iconic voice that it's absolutely legendary, RIP Gilbert Gottfried. Thank you for making us laugh during these stupid times.
For the longest time I thought the smoke detector was from some kind of weird childhood dream. Good to know it’s from an actual video lol
RIP Gilbert Gottfried. This specific bit will never fail at making me crack up.

Why and how
@@davinalee9551 Goddammit, because he finds it funny. There, I answered both of your questions.
Seymour, the house is on fire!
No mother, it's just the northern lights
They'd need to get a new smoke detector. One that wouldn't just dismiss the house fire as the northern lights.
Well Seymour your a odd man...but you do steam a good ham.
Aurora Borealis! This time of year, in your kitchen?!

Or if someone burns their dinner in the kitchen, it yells, "YOU FOOL!!!"
dsn Knwefbdfa I'd make a smoke detector that screams, "STOP BURNING THAT S*I*"
Everyone is so focused on Gilbert that they aren’t noticing Lindsay Lohan is also in this lol
Yes! I was looking for this comment
Oh yeah! That *is* Lindsey. Before she ruined herself...
Cool im not the only one that noticed
Oh, wow.
@@Hero_of_Legend Hollywood played a big role in that. Nothing destroys a person quite the same as child stardom can.
I remember seeing this back elementary school lol. I love gilbert so much rip
he was a great voice actor for voicing this, it brings back so much memories thank you gilbert may God rest your soul in peace in heaven. 😔🙏❤
And Seymore always waits until SPECIFICALLY the middle of the night to tell you his battery is low.
Worse if you have multiple detectors, the chirp isn't long enough to pinpoint and you end up going thru the whole damn house trying to figure out which one it is.
I remember once my smoke alarm in my room went off and after that I was paranoid in my sleep, worried if it will make the noise in any moment
very short beeps.
Not just that, he waits till the nights are hotter than hot in a lot of good ways

I don’t know what’s more horrifying: being taken back to the 90s when a fire safety jingle is catchy, or that a puppet with Gilbert Gottfried’s likeness is significantly distorted while emitting a soul piercing sound.
That's how he always sounds.
Neither it's how young Lindsay Lohan is in this
You also do realize that this puppet still exists in this world, and I imagine it is somewhere in Gilbert's house as of today.
That jingle took me back omg
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣☠👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
As creepy and batshit weird this is. I’m pretty sure most will be coming back to this now that Gilbert Gottfried has recently passed away.
RIP. Your unique voice may have been really grating to most but even you were able to create something hilarious even in a bad movie.
I came back to this video because he passed.
Rip Gilbert Gottfried no one can replace him.
He's up there with Bob Saget and Betty white and Norm mcdonald. Rip to all 4 of them.
#GuiltyAsCharged 🙋🏻♂️
No matter what cartoon I think of I would automatically assume Gilbert Gottfried voiced _at least_ one of the characters.
This should be required viewing for all “urban” folk.
For the love of all that is holy, change your batteries.
For real tho i don't think we changed the batteries in our smoke detector until i was like 12
Rest in piece, Gottfried. Your voice was unlike any other I've ever heard in all the best ways.
The best (and creepiest) smoke detector in the business.
Thanks for risking your lungs to teach us to be cool about fire safety, Gilbert. R.I.P.
hi future people
You will be missed...
The puppeteer died?
@@davinalee9551 the voice actor died, idk if he was the puppeteer also
R.I.P.
Fun Fact: When angered or annoyed, Gilbert’s scream sounds like a fire alarm.
How is that a "FUN" fact?! 😲😲😲
@NVMVNV Iago
He's trying to warn us about smoke
I remember watching this in Kindergarten.
Oh man the memories of Gilbert Gottfried will forever be in me, RIP Legend.
RIP Gilbert. You were the best fire alarm the world has ever known. 🙏
I love that even as a puppet, Gilbert Gottfried’s eyes are still squinted lol. But yes, I remember this ad. It freaked me out as a kid and still does.
@Ryan Ward ... Because Gilbert Gottfried also voiced that bird in the Disney animated movie you Muppet
Yeah this deep slits around it gives me a tripophobia feeling.
It's gottfried, not Godfrey.
"It's freaked me out as a kid and still does." 🤣🤣
He also voiced Digit in Cyberchase.
It's weird that I remember "Be cool about fire safety" but not the horrifying smoke detector.
Yeah- no for real. He showed up and I only then remembered like a repression.
It looks like IT the clown
the other way around for me....for years i had this image in my head but couldnt put a finger on what show it was... honestly i thought it was Pee-Wee Herman....totally forgot about this and the old Smokey The Bear commercials
I think there was a shorter version without him
How could you not remember that thing?!

I love Digit he’s so cute

Rest in Peace, Gilbert Gottfried. Your voice was truly iconic and your comedy was legendary.
The Voice Iago from Aladdin 1992
Im sorry what? When the fuck did he die?
April 12 2022 Ventricular Tachycardia known as cardiac arrest.
Funny how he tells them about the burning toast, considering Gilbert Gottfried also voiced a toaster for Pop-Tarts commercials at one point.
Well toasters aren't ment to burn things intentionally,that's just the owner being neglectful of their surroundings
So he was the toaster, the smoke alarm, and they were insured through Aflac. Nice little racket, Gilbert.
He's also the voice of the Aflac duck, Iago, and Kraang Sub-Prime. And he played Fred Fuchs in an episode of AVGN.
Playing all sides, that piece of shit
And he was in a frosted Cheerios commercial but how can you burn that?
Watched this as a tribute to Gilbert Gottfried. Bless him dearly!
Rest in piece Gilbert Godfrey. This man was so funny and brilliant, he always kept up with modern humor and just seemed sweet.
*peace
I found the source of my unhealthy fear of fire alarm sounds...
Jamm Lighting me too
Holy shit, you guys too?!
Jamm Lighting the memes of this cured my childhood fear of fire alarms which come from this...
Me too! Jesus fuck, i'm gonna have nightmares all over again
Smoke alarm sounds traumatize me, not the system fire alarms at public places like school, but the residential alarms.
In 1996, Gilbert Gottfried was literally the only person qualified to voice a smoke detector.
Rest In Peace sir ❤️🙏🏽.
@@ricksanchez5971 cayman I s not deas

He also voiced the toaster in vintage Pop Tarts commercials
This guy was born to play any type of voice R.I.P Gilbert Gottfried I hope your using your talented voice in heaven.

This just unlocked a memory buried *DEEP* in my mind
I remember being in kindergarten and being forced to watch these
Same, definitely remember seeing this commercial before, but I haven't thought about it for at least 20 years
I thought this was a fever dream, the good old days when things were weird
Same. ... right
I'd completely forgotten about this until now.
Saw this all the time as a kid, had it on VHS, and upon watching it again, realized we needed to change the batteries in our smoke detectors. Thank you, Gilbert Gottfried and others from 1996.
I had this on VHS too. I got it from an insurance place
Gilbert saved you from burning to death in agony.
Lol, I remember they had the VHS back in elementary school
You guys had a 1-minute ad on VHS?
@@Gerard-oo8os Hell yeah. It was a collection of fire safety PSAs, and this was featured. It was the Fire Safety VHS haha.

Rip Gilbert Gottfried :( Darnit, now my two favorite Aladdin actors have been laid to rest
The 90s really loved making terrifying commercial mascots
Yea they did😂😂
not as terryfying as the new generations commercials now and cartoons.
And PSA’s

No one could voice parrots or smoke detectors like you did.
