One of a series of Bubbis chewing gum commercials, all in the same visual style of Magic Marker drawings on paper: “Bubbis and the Bees”, “Jungle Bubbis” and “Chocolate Bubbis”. The main character always uses the bubble gum to get out of a tricky situation.

Heard in the film: “Nyt uusi Bubbis-purkkamaku! Suklaa-Bubbis! Valtava pallo! Suklaapurkka, Bubbis!”

Still from Chocolate Bubbis, a surfer rides a blue wave holding a huge orange bubble lettered BUBBIS twice Still from Chocolate Bubbis, the surfer falls into white spray with the orange bubble behind him Still from Chocolate Bubbis, a close-up of the character’s eyes, nose and tongue with drops of sweat Still from Chocolate Bubbis, the surfer floats face up in the sea with a huge grin and his feet in front Still from Chocolate Bubbis, the character waves and holds up a brown pack lettered BUBBIS SUKLAA BUBBIS PURUKUMI
