I take it The Mickey Mouse Club - since it isn’t in this episode - got its very own video.

The ultimate tv promo looks and feels like it was directed by someone who has never meet a family before. As if it was made by an alien that had never seen a human family before lol

"Listen to us rip it off, Ringo!!!!!!" Keith, you said the quiet part out loud again.

16:25 , i'm los of laughing, it is like a cornet in the transition hahahahahaha lol

Or, there were multiple versions of this video. Why isn't that a probable explanation? Maybe they were testing the video to see if it affected people. IE. People I'm NY saw the subliminal version, and people in LA saw the normal version. That seems rational to me. Or maybe some guy is trying to create a conspiracy.

oh god somebody please animate santasaurus stepping on people as he sings

TANNER!!! (The MGM Lion in color who always seemed so angry and hungry when he roared. The other MGM Lions looked sedate by comparison.) The Zoom-in (close up) of the Mickey Mouse banner - you know, the one that the Mouseketeers promise to hold up high - at the end of every episode. Crescent Moons up close.

10:10 I was fully expecting the next ad to be a parody of David Byrne.

“Metropolis” is the only BluRay I own..😬👍

Hope your Christmas went very well. Your Archival Riffs help me pass the time. Your channel, especially SMT mainline are entertaining 🙂

Don Martin is the BEST!!!

I still have the receipt and the promo stickera that come on the screen when u get it. $200 pc richards jan 1st 2004

9:27 nice logo

Love Thursday Oddity Archive even if a short Bens junk, you did pretty well. Thank you again for all your hard work

Even rough, you play that guitar pretty good .

A sour D, cool rock band name.

I love the use of BBC technical difficulties. My favorite is from the BBC News, 2017 where they were doing the intro but it was glitched so bad to the point where they did go to Huw Edwards who wasn't aware he was on the air so they restarted it again then it got glitched again and this repeated for a good four minutes all the while I was LMAO.

I remember buying my first acoustic guitar. This is where you find out being left-handed is really a disadvantage in life, and no amount of mentions to the salesman of the names "Hendrix", "McCartney", "Iommi" or "Cobain" will convince them of the flaws of their inventory. No. Back in 1997 I had two to choose from. One of which was £1000. In 1997 money. I still have my budget £125 model. It's 2 feet away from me now. We've been through a lot together.

Hope you all had a great Christmas, have a great rest of your year and take care!

You have great talent, Ben. You made a bad guitar sound not bad at all. Granted, the strings were a little off, but the fault lies in the guitar, not you. Thanks for the brief version of Battle at Elderbush Gulch as a late Christmas gift.

Este-BEN? Boo hiss!!! The only thing I remember in the original infomercial for Esteban's guitar program was the announcer kept saying "The Gift of GEEE-tar!" every single time he said that word it was so cringe.

Warped neck, dead strings and high action? Perfect combination to replicate Nick Drake.

I just have a cheap Estrada from the 70s. Twas my moms. I love him though, no matter how beat uo he is. I named him Steve!

I haven't heard Ben say Boo-Boo so much since he talked about that Bubu tape from the Random Cassette Tapes episode.

Great to hear u play again,benny boy❤❤❤

Merry Christmas Ben - hope your dad is doing well 🤗

So. Your ears are not deceiving you. These had horrible bonding issues with the neck. Instead of being made out of a single piece of wood, or several pieces clamped and glued, it’s comprised of wafer thin layers of veneer basically that were glued together like a sandwich and then shaved into shape. Probably over time, and having the force of the strings is causing it to bow and spread open. Either way, same quality as a Sharper Image “My First Guitar” Learn how to Play kit. It would cost more money to fix this than to get something nice at a thrift store.

I’m always kinda sad when cheapie acoustics end up like that. Broke but not worth fixing. Not even much value as a supplier of parts.

thank you another interesting video great , is your box on holiday back in the new year 🙂

I'm sorry, Santasaurus is a concept that's so ridiculous, it just needs to be resurrected. Merry Christmas, Ben!

Damn that line dance one makes me want to do John De Hart's Shimmy Shimmy Slide from his movie Champagne And Bullets.

They live feels

So...Donald Trump and Elon Musk made this?

Battle of Elderbush Gulch is a great song. @12:12 The blurring confused me for a minute, until I realized your reflection must have been visible.

Merry Christmas, Ben! 🎄🎅❄️🎁☃️

The action is terrible and having dead strings does not help. It was good in its day probably, but those days are done. Nice and short. Merry Christmas Ben

I'm so sorry to hear this! You take care of your dad and shut down for as long as you need to. We'll all still be here, and continue to fight that good fight! We all love you!

Well I guess I'll just have to watch it then.

Did you ever reveal the dead sides to Dracula and Frankenstein on DiscoVision? My copy of Frankenstein has Side 3 of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as its dead side.

3:21 I see "Back to Bedlam". My mother loves that album.

I tried to Google Cletus Goblirsch. I was hoping there was a connection with either Mollie B or the recently deceased Jim Busta, but sadly, there wasn't one to be found.

I find the bookends you do with the commentary classy and reminds me of KTLA's Family Film Festival where Tom Hatten would talk about what was being shown. Speaking of the air force sign-off you did is probably my favorite ever broadcasted on American television. KTTV would occasionally use it as a sign-on as well.

My time to gloat: I have the CAV version of that Citizen Kane release, you missed out because it’s featured packed! I also have The Dream Is Alive but I haven’t watched it and I gotta dig it out of my storage unit.

Thanks!

RIP floors, hello angry lower neighbours lol. Betamax does have impressive quality recordings.

"Rural Minnesota Sobriety Test" actually had me laughing out loud.

The ITC Entertainment spinning logo at the end of Space 1999 freaked me out when I was a kid.

Do you remember the early 1800 phone commercials for hearing the voice of Elvis and Marylin Monroe ? They would say Elvis was still alive and you could hear him saying something about President Regan being shot. This was back in the 1980s ~very eerie

Make a third entry to the logo series. Complete the trilogy
