90's Commercials Vol. 13

These commercials aired on March 25th, 1994.
1. Classic Commercials Two Video Set (Is anybody sensing the irony here?)
2. Mentos (YES!)
3. TV Spot for "Jimmy Hollywood" (I've never even heard of this movie, and I have a pretty expansive knowledge of film)
4. Honda Motorcycle (One of the few motorcycle commercials I've seen)
5. Citibank
6. Mystery Science Theater 3000 College Tour (With Penn Jillette from Penn & Teller)
7. News Bites (I wasn't even aware "The New Kids On The Block" were still performing in '94)
8. Promo for "Candid Gamera"
9. Mazda MX-3 (My Dad had this car in "Jungle Green")
10. 99 Cent Whopper at Burger King

12. TV Spot for "Clifford"
13. Envision Contact Lenses
14. Coca Cola Bumper
15. Coca Cola (Looks like this was animated in Mario Paint)
16. Zima (I never knew deranged Nazi Scientists were that into Zima)
17. Nissan Sentra XE
18. AT&T
19. Extra Classic Bubble Gum (Who could forget the image of a girl crushed to death by a giant gum bubble?)
20. Land Rover Defender
21. Polaroid Captiva (With "comedian" Sinbad!)

I hope we all realize the extreme irony of watching a commercial for a collection of classic commercials while watching a collection of classic commercials. LMFAO.

[@katiedonovanAlt]

I was just about to mention that....lmao

[@timothysprengeler4071]

0:00--I don't own this particular set, but I have a 3-disc set called "1001 Classic Commercials," published by Mill Creek Entertainment. Most of the commercials are from the 1950's and 60's. They are fun to watch, but mostly from before my time. I wish they would have included more from the 70's and 80's because that is the period that I grew up in. Mercifully, KZbin has helped fill that void.

[@lydialoud]

Commercialception

[@Floydthefuckbag]

We have to go deeper

[@xRaineDropsx]

Watching an ad for a cassette of old commercials on a video of old commercials. That is some sweet irony.

[@blazerbennett1933]

xRaineDropsx Was thinking the same thing lol

[@UnendingPain]

My thoughts exactly....

[@skeletorrobo]

De ja video

[@decolletegypsy]

Totally dropped my drink when the commercial about commercials came on, I was stunned... So like, everyone's always been nostalgic about tv?

[@blind_t2]

decolletegypsy I guess this was the precursor to us watching classic commercials from our time.

[@LikaLaruku]

Mentos is one of my top 4 80s-90s product jingles of all time, followed by Juicy Fruit, Big Red, & Folgers.

[@whenhen]

That's so cool that the AT&T commercial actually came almost exactly true. We have netflix that can stream a movie right onto your tv, and online downloading of movies. Online classes where you communicate with the professor via webcam. Many people use skype or another video chatting service to talk with there family via webcam from hundreds of miles away.

[@kikyouthekillermiko]

How ironic were watching classic 90's commercials with a commercial about 50's commercials ^_^ i hope we can get that one day...on DVD or download lol

[@courtneybaskin8248]

god I miss these times wish their was a time machine

[@RyanB1987]

Sweet Jesus I miss the 90s

[@skystarless]

Zima seems like the alcoholic equivalent of Crystal Pepsi.

[@80sCommercialVault]

@spcmn77 The drug commercials you see with all of the "weird and insane warnings" aren't for over the counter stuff. Those are advertising prescription drugs. BTW...the only drugs allowed to be advertised on TV back then were over the counter and relatively harmless. The FDA began allowing DTC (Direct-to-consumer) prescription drug advertising in 1997.

[@alexkrycek9615]

Commercial video with commercials for commercials..awesome

[@samdiego1965]

I remember watching that commercial on tv from when I was a kid. It's kinda ironic watching it on KZbin now

[@disneyfan85]

I have several DVDs of old commercials, similar, but not identical, to the first commercial here.

[@80sCommercialVault]

@moomba445 HD televisions (And I assume, cameras) were first developed in Japan in the late 60's, though at that point the technology wasn't standardized and used a different ratio. Much of the consumer technology that we consider "modern" or "high-tech" has been around for decades, it just takes a very long time for a lot of this technology to be produced by manufacturers and adopted by the general public.

[@Creepingdeathx81]

gotta love you tube we have generous people who put vintage commercials on here without having to pay for it like those vintage commercials for sale at 0:57

[@mst3kanita]

Boy did that Envision commercial air about 3 million times on every channel during 1994.

[@swampertdude]

that first commercial is so fucking meta

[@sonikku1011]

I remember the Mentos commercials and the jingle! xD And I was 4 when this commercial came out.

[@readordiefanatic]

awesome! I thought I was the only one that noticed that, I WANT MY MAYPO!!!!

[@melrose53]

Oh Mystery Science theater..you were the best show on TV...how I miss you....

[@timothysprengeler4071]

Comet (a science-fiction oriented channel available for free as a digital subchannel in many areas) has rerun MST3K on and off. I'm not sure if it's currently on their schedule, but it was airing on Sunday nights not too long ago.

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

0:01 Thank goodness commercials Millennials (and Gen X and Z) are nostalgic for came out during when video recorders were common. I can’t imagine how many commercials from the late 1940s to about the mid 1970s that are now lost. At least folks like Ira Gallen and Obsolete Video saved many of them from fate.

[@Darkhall23]

That first commercial is next level,never mind you have to watch ads on youtube before you watch commercials. Fuck I think I just lost my damn mind lolol

[@ohguy1991]

I remeber that Mentos commercial like it was yesterday!!

[@80sCommercialVault]

Your eyes may not be "breathing" but they still need oxygen. The retina in particular.

[@theganon64]

YES. Yes, I am sensing the irony in that first commercial...

[@TabshiMagical]

I have those 50's and 60's Commercials! I love that video :D

[@Fr4ncM]

Yes! OMG I ROFL with the first one!... thanks man for bringing these for free, finally I can recognize the internet is something new which actually makes our lives easier and more entertaining.

[@michaelb.9975]

The irony this starts on is awesome

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

Now we can watch commercials that are just as old as they were then, now, for free on KZbin.

[@Fr4ncM]

Two tapes of "classic commercials"!... Who would want to watch that? ... Oh look, Vol *223* is out!

[@pomh10]

first commercial; classic commercials, that's what this is now, lol

[@whiteshark2046]

a video about old commercial, that has a commercial for old vieos. you just blew my mind

[@weresic]

90's; "Buying entertainment." 00's; "What is this buy music?"

[@texasguy0421]

Jimmy Hollywood opend on my b-day lol I turned 11 that day.

[@blackdragon6]

The girl's address on her drivers license at 4:14 is just a office space lol. There's nothing residential in that area lol

[@lejesstanner]

Never had one of the VHS compilations, but my dad had a bunch of CD-ROMs that had 50s ads compilations. Now I put on 80s and 90s ads when I want background noise. Apple doesn't fall far I guess.

[@MagnaderAlpha]

I remember having a crush on that girl from the Extra Bubblegum CM!!

[@brokensoul8390]

Wish we knew who the actress is, she's gorgeous

[@timothysprengeler4071]

8:36--Do they still make Extra bubble gum? Extra is my favorite brand of chewing gum, but I usually buy the minty flavors. I know it also comes in several fruity flavors.

[@williamherbert]

Pretty sure that woman tucking her baby in from a phone booth in the AT&T commercial (#18) is Jenna Elfman.

[@Frankensnizzle]

Infamous Mentos song XD Also,you always have to have a,Mentos WTF moment.

[@jbs2763]

dude, the new kids are on tour this summer

[@80sCommercialVault]

@moomba445 The 16:9 widescreen ratio was adopted as the standard for HDTV in 1983.

[@aaa8181]

Nissan is really excited about "an airbag" and the cassette player

[@IcarusPrisonerKobold]

I have ALL 4 EBG commercials in my favs!

[@Sismiques]

@80sCommercialVault "Classic Commercials Video Cassette", haha, perfect!

[@80sCommercialVault]

Watch "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". That should catch you up.

[@Cromartie]

Holy nostalgia Batman-the oldschool AT&T logo. :-)

[@80sCommercialVault]

@kikyouthekillermiko Most of the ads shown there are staples of public domain compilations...I'd suspect you might be able to find several of them on archive.org.

[@hahasimp]

as zomeone who never had a Zima, how did it taste like?

[@bizwest21]

like zhit

[@apachette07]

I own that classic commercial set on dvd! I bought it a couple of years ago at Best Buy. I think I paid $9 for it lol.

[@brettshears]

Yes my eyes have been lacking oxygen, they need to breath more :P

[@thepeff]

First commercial... breaking the fourth wall?

[@blind_t2]

thepeff before i even knew what the 4th wall was!

[@readordiefanatic]

that AT&T commercial is really interesting

[@startiller3111]

"Ahh...a nice cool refreshing Zima" ROFL.

[@b1rocky]

zima tastes like Zhit!!!

[@MeInTX]

@80sCommercialVault A terrible, terrible idea...I'll let my doctor tell me what he thinks I should be taking, not the other way around, thank you very much. Though I have liked some of the ads. I look forward to seeing the Prestiq depressed wind-up doll in a volume of "'00's Commercials" in about 20 years.

[@orcrush1]

with the shortest Wikipedia page ever!

[@badgersrule01]

Who is that guy in the Zima spot at 7:11? I know him from something but cant quite place it.

[@PowerGlove79]

Zima, Beer mixed with 7-up YUMMMMMMMMMMMY! (that was sarcasm in case you didn't know lol)

[@punkyrubberducky4]

SHITS YEAH!

[@wcclark]

Is that Scott Bakula doing the Zima commercials?

[@MeInTX]

I actually saw "Jimmy Hollywood" at a (nearly empty) theater. From the ads, I thought it looked pretty good. It wasn't. Not at all. I don't remember much about it, but don't think there's any need to revisit it. I rarely drank in high school (I was 17 in '94), but even if I did more often, those God-awful Zima ads would have ensured that I would have stuck to beer. I might have drank one in college, though.

[@PhoenixRS93]

Zima was discontinued in 2008. Had a long run :)

[@RyanB1987]

Holy shit! AT&T predicted things that came true! NetFlix and the iPhone!!!!!

[@Sismiques]

@brian461oia Card payphones though, are way more common in Europe than USA.

[@LewisMarien]

0:47 "wicked."

[@SpeigeleisenII]

Zima tastes like Zuffering.

[@IcarusPrisonerKobold]

That was back then!

[@MylesMoore]

7:07 ITS CORPORAL CLINGER!!!!

[@stormyskyz4251]

Back when Comedy Central was funny.

[@Eraserheaddf]

5:00- Dinosaur World ! = )

[@tanquantwal]

Just called that classic commercials it's a national servicing agency now.

[@RoyalHustler09]

They're the only rockband with a bedtime. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Harsh.

[@brokensoul8390]

8:37-9:07 I love those commercials. You wouldn't happen to have ALL of them, would you?

[@Inediblehulk]

Those Zima ads are a bit confusing. We're not going to tell you what it's made of or what it's like, just that it's new and a man in a white suit says you should ingest it till intoxicated. That may work for pill commercials, but is probably a good reason why I've never seen anybody order a Zima.

[@classz123]

@whiteshark2046 So metaphysical lol!

[@Canadianabanana]

Haha the 50s commercial ad was ironic eh?

[@specterkev]

What the hell Happened to sinbad.. he liked disappered off the face of the earth.

[@JonathanLeon]

What's going on in that garage?

[@cutecutedemons]

Jenna Elfman 8:30

[@027220]

5:00 - :32 I'll pass.

[@CobraStyleDevil]

Obviously for cost reasons

[@BleachFan9891]

ALL HAIL MST3K!!!!!!!!!

[@RepublicanMartian]

Damn, Zima. Even now in my 30s its still lame lol

[@Britishdude1]

@spcmn77 ahaha i was thinking the same thing

[@courtneybaskin615]

memerioes

[@weareclouds]

I took a drink out of my mom's Zima bottle when I was 8. Stupid idea. That shit was naZty!

[@gamzee3651]

#1 such irony

[@BrianKelly1979]

Zima...tastes like Zhit!

[@MCKing441]

haha commercial irony

[@mantiskungfu728]

lol at at&t
