Green Army Man Chants were commercial bumpers that aired on ABC's Saturday morning line-up in 1996. There were a variety of different versions however the two most common versions are listed below.
Green Army Man Chant #1
- "We'll be back after this break. Don't touch that dial for goodness' sake!"
- —The Green Army Men's first chant
Combat Carl and eight Green Army Men march along saying their chant before the commercial break comes on.
Green Army Man Chant #2
- "Don't get mad, don't hold the grudge. We'll be back, so don't you budge!"
- —The Green Army Men's second chant
In this one, Combat Carl is not in it, the setting is different from the first, they say a different chant, and Dolly appears. Eight Green Army Men march along saying their new chant before the commercial break comes on. While saying the chant, Dolly waves at them, causing the first one to stop, and making all the others fall down like dominoes. Dolly looks at them with a bewildered look.
Other chants include:
"Here we go, back to the show! That's the fact so now you know!" "We'll be back with much more fun! Now don't you change that channel, son!" "Hidey-hidey-hidey-ho! Break is over! Here's the show!" "We'll march in a small platoon! Let's march back to the cartoon!" "Break time's here we have to say. Listen up, don't go away!" "Now we are back for some more. Bigtime action is in store!" "Don't touch your set! Don't turn that dial! We'll be back in just a while!" "You stay with this way cool station! Now back to our animation!" "We are green from head to toe! Now we go back to the show!" "I don't know, but I have heard, we'll be back after this word!" "Don't you panic! Don't you flake! We'll be back after this break!" "Commercial's over don't you know? Now it's time to watch the show!" "Now we're gonna have a break! Message time we're gonna take!" "Now we go back to the fun! Message time is over and done!"
Trivia
- In all of the shorts is a ball that says ABC, possibly in place of Andy's ball. This is because they were originally bumpers for ABC's Saturday morning line-up in 1996.
- None of the shorts made it onto the Toy Story: 10th Anniversary Edition DVD. Only two made it onto the 2010 Blu-Ray.
