Ha! Ofcourse I remember the Frito Bandito! I remember as a child noticing that we'd not seen or heard of the Frito Bandito for some time, and my mother explaining to me that the Mexican community, up in arms over the perceived slight, had forced Frito Lay to "retire" the colorful character from their advertisements. Thus, the Bandito became one of the first victims of "political correctness".

The bastards !

As I was watching that youtube video, I was reminded of some of the old speedy consales (sp?) cartoon. And it would always display all the other mexican mice as lazy and drunk.

Speedy Gonzales wasn't before my time, but Frito Bandito definitely was. I've never heard of him in my life.

That's right you heard me. Sing along and follow the bouncing frito.

LOL, I knew this voice sounded familiar. It's freakin' Bugs Bunny.

I did some digging and found that Frito Bandito's voice actor was Melvin Blanc who was also the voice actor for (you guessed it) Bugs Bunny, Speedy Gonzales, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, and Barney Rubble.

Great find! Thanks for posting and sharing. I had no idea that the Frito Bandito's voice was Mel Blanc's.

It wasn't a hard search. You can HEAR the Speedy Gonzales in Bandito's voice.

LOL from the first "Aye, yii, yii, yiiii," I could just see Bugs strolling along, and singing some song, ol' Bugs was always singing something.

But yea, you could just about hear a little bit of Bugs, daffy and all the other voices he did over the years come through in the Frito Bandito.
