90's Commercials Vol. 424

[@bleeneo101]

Man I remember all these commercials, I was 12 about to be 13 and I was glued to the TV playing Sega Genesis at the time. I also remember the passing of River Phoenix and was so sad. Definitely a Halloween I'll never forget. But those were the best years of my life. I loved the 90s.

1-800-Collect- The way the college boy says, "Mommy, I miss you." in this commercial is so charming, it puts a smile on my face every time. Married With Children Will Not Be Seen Tonight- The way the Bundy family reacts in this announcement of their show not being seen that night (yelling, "BOO!") is priceless. That sure would speak for the people who were disappointed that they didn't get to see that show that night.

[@yusakug]

Addams Family Values is so underrated, and it’s a shame the cast wasn’t allowed to continue, due to the sequel not doing as well as the first, and the eventual tragic passing of Raul Julia. Would love to have gotten one more film with that cast.

[@WilfredCthulu]

I just saw it once over 10 years ago but I still think of Wednesday calling out the genocide against native Americans and rising up. What a boss lol.

[@YoursTrulyMrsMoores]

It was my favorite movie as a kid. And yeah, really would have liked to see them all in another movie. I remember there being some made-for-TV Addams Family movie that wasn't nearly as good

[@WilfredCthulu]

Yes. The attitude era of being a kid.

[@ralpheichenlaub7004]

Man, this takes me back to 8th grade. I taped the Simpsons Scarathon. God I love these

[@yusakug]

5:57 - This is actually a cool callback to an early idea from the series. The original plan was to have it be revealed that Homer was Krusty. Not only were they played by the same actor, but they shared the same design. The plan was to do an episode where Bart would find out his dad was his TV hero. The plan was dropped eventually, because no fans realized that Krusty was literally Homer in clown makeup.

[@BlakeGildaphish76]

Aww, man! The Sinbad Show! i haven't seen that since it was on the air. i think i was in 3rd grade. My dad and i used to watch that every week.

[@44excalibur]

Ah, the first season of The X-Files. I miss those days.

[@yusakug]

Sonic Mania Day was the follow up to the previous year’s Sonic 2’s Day (Tuesday, November 23), which was the first highly publicized release date for a video game, like a movie. This would lead to other successful launches, like Mortal Kombat’s Mortal Monday (September 13,1993).

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

Magnificent collection we have today! I always looked forward to the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors, they used to be just the greatest.

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Ah yes, the David Boreanaz episode of Married with Children, just over three years before he began working on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 12 years before he began working on FOX's Bones.

[@christiancordero7978]

Recording comes from the NYC area. Man this brought back so many memories.

[@DanZero77]

I watched these commercials as well as 2 hours of the Simpsons right here on WNYW New York! I already told my Halloween '93 story back on Vol 292 (Rained all day, went out trick or treating anyway!) I also remember the election for NJ governor and how close it was!

[@jarrellmason9080]

Great set. Pizza Hut should bring back Bigfoot as a one time promotion.

[@pumapunkudevelopment3376]

Ahhhh remembering the times before humanity evolved. Little did we know or could ever imagine how abrupt of an era change it would be. UNTIL THE INTERNET ARRIVED.

[@44excalibur]

This was the day that River Phoenix died, and all of Generation X lost something special that night.

[@80sCommercialVault]

He had died in the early morning hours of the 31st, was out partying the night of the 30th.

[@44excalibur]

@@80sCommercialVault I know. Everyone heard about it on the news later in the day, so that Halloween night felt like we'd lost something.

7:06 I don't think I've ever been to a school that served juice for lunch. Breakfast, sure...but not lunch. All of them did have at least one "this is JUNIOR HIGH!" kid, though.

[@darktetsuya]

Y'know I forgot about 'Sonic Mania Day'?! of course the one I remember was Sonic 2sday the year before.

[@DodgyDaveGTX]

it's not just the fact that it's 90's content that makes it so unfamiliar. Even present-day US adverts are pretty alien from a UK perspective

[@martinacold9255]

Salma Hayek was on that Sinbad show ☺️🌺

[@WWJD85]

I take the Simpson's over living. Single

[@TTrigg]

Sega Sonic Mania Day-new Sonic game looks good The Sinbad Show-liked that episode,nice cameo by Ron O'Neal in character as"Superfly" The Adventures Of Brisco County Jr.-hopefully Bruce can revisit this show someday Martin-the first of the two part "Martin Goes Hollywood" episode No Living Single tonight 😡 Beverly Hills 90210-plot twist..her husband was hiding in another room Melrose Place-there was something in the water at that complex Ghost Mom- not part of a cinematic universe featuring Cosby's Ghost Dad character No Married With Children..? "Daddy,beat him up." Roy Rogers Reuben Sandwich-say that twenty times fast The X Files-first season was the best one Robocop 3-dont blame Peter Weller for not returning Fox News Update -r.i.p River Phoenix

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Brisco County Jr. was my introduction to Bruce Campbell before his work on Xena and Hercules (I have only seen Army of Darkness of the Evil Dead films, and that was years later). He's definitely one of the best! I hope they could do a follow-up movie before he gets much older.

[@CONNECTELECTRIC]

*THANK YOU!*

[@DodgyDaveGTX]

I still can't believe Brandon fell for a married woman! What you playing at Brandon!?

[@FlyingDuckMan360]

I take it you’ve seen the Angry Video Game Nerd’s review of the Dennis the Menace SNES game as well?

[@80sCommercialVault]

Yes, but I find that Mike and James video to be far funnier.

[@gooniesgirl1979]

River Phoenix died early in the morning on this date. I was actually coming back from Chicago from my own grandfather’s funeral. I was 14.

[@80sCommercialVault]

His death is mentioned in the news promo towards the end of the video.
