The more insane thing is the DVD one was being advertised during Adult Swim, particularly during Toonami, even over a decade later. But yeah, seeing these, I have the animal crackers song stuck in my head, now, because of that, specifically that one section.

I've seen some of the Shirley Temple movies, and when those bits come up, it's like "Hey, it's that bit from the commercials!"

No Hoveround commercial? Wtf





HOOOOVER ROUND (HOVER ROUND... hover round... hover round)

NOW I AM FREE TO SEE THE WORLD!

I hate how that is stuck in my head, forever. It's like the HEAD ON. APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE FOREHEAD commercial.

EDIT:

Yeah, I haven't seen some the movies in ages, but yeah, that always stuck out in me when one of those sections came up in them.

A very UK/Ireland centric one here, but every single ad break on Fox Kids or Cartoon Network twenty years ago




What a kid watching Digimon and X-Men would want with a building society I don't know.

Oh good, another lots and lots of trains thread, soon this site will stop being about games and will transition to an old commercial website

No mention of this?


It was directed by Micheal Bay.

Maybe I just appreciate real art. ;)

one of the best things the internet did was reassure me that I wasn't the only one who saw that Sears A/C ad enough times as a kid in the 90s to be able to recite it word for word

If you're an 80's kid your entire existence is advertisements, and since they refuse to let the 80s die, that trend continues.

I'm 90s so I feel the residual of that.
Every generation wants to pretend they don't have their own version of this and won't fall for being pandered to.
