90's Commercials Vol. 159

[@Asist0ne]

That Intel commercial though. That was cutting edge speed!

[@LikaLaruku]

Does anyone feel like commercials from 2010 on up are patronizing, insulting your intelligence, & ruining classic songs? There's just something more carefree & chill about retromercials. (okay, 80s commercials were twice as patronizing, but there's still something about them that's less uptight & more relaxed).

I was just watching Striking Distance the other day and The Good Son on cable.

[@ItsTheRealJefe]

Always interesting to watch these, in my mid 30s, and realizing just how much of a telecommunications war was occurring then. Long distance, collect calls, calling cards. Weird to see it these days.

[@MrCrucifier]

Can we take a minute to thank this person for all the work put into gathering and uploading these. I get a huge nostalgia kick from these, thanks so much.

[@mndydltn1980]

musicland, striking distance, loved the 90's. :)

[@LikaLaruku]

I had no idea Law & Order was on in he 90s. Just started watching it a few years ago.

[@80sCommercialVault]

+Jill Sandwich The show started in 1990

[@LikaLaruku]

80sCommercialVault Damn, when I was just a kid.

Chicago sure had some bizarre local ads. The only thing I remember about The Good Son was the Nostalgia Critic's laryngitis-impaired review that featured around 100 cards of text because he couldn't talk.

[@blind_t2]

what I like about local commercials. you never know what's gonna come of them. I really loved the local commercials from the 80's and 90's, as they had some catchy or cheesy jingle within the commercial. New Orleans, Dallas, and Biloxi had some good ones.

[@TheRealGaucelm]

"Bruce Willis is Tom Hardy". :D

[@jasonbertalotto4296]

Striking Distance is an explosive film!

[@EcellenteJill]

That Reeses commercial was so fucking funny.

[@TheITinFIT]

Now someone has to make a fake trailer of Striking Distance starring Tom Hardy xD

[@Autumn_Able]

5:26 also Tony Jay at the end of the car commercial

[@TTrigg]

when was Phil Donahue's final show..? lol that trailer for The Good Son using music from Aliens(this was one of several that did so)

[@Silvergun_Raven]

This is sorta off-topic, but unless my memory is leaving me, it seems that I never saw any video game commercials on NBC throughout the 90's. Can anyone confirm this? I always seen them on FOX, Nickelodeon, MTV, and I want to say maybe ABC (don't remember). Also, am I the only one who feels completely relaxed when watching early to mid 90's commercials? It's really hard to explain, but I guess it kinda feels like you're inside your house, during the Summer, and it's raining outside and you just want to sit back and watch the rain fall. Probably weird to say that, but that's the simplest explanation as to why these commercials make me feel relaxed. Haha

[@Zerscape]

+Matthew J. Boone No, you're not weird. I feel the same way too. I also like to watch retro commercials because I never got the chance to do so when I was younger, and it's interesting seeing what the culture was really like during these times through commercials. :)

[@stevenqbosell]

Very true how these old ads are relaxing. Your analogy is perfect

[@jwgreek8606]

Wow Jim Lampley with a shaved head

[@YodaPagoda]

I wonder if the $1 Quarter Pounder with Cheese deal was a response to Burger King's 99¢ Whopper? As far as I'm concerned, BK ruled the 90s for fast food. Springer in this commercial was way tamer than the late 90s version. A year after this commercial aired, I was actually working at Taco Bell. The 59¢, 79¢ and 99¢ menu was a pretty big deal, but it wouldn't last more than a couple years after this aired. I didn't start watching Law & Order for another 7 years, but what a show it was! I think it was on too late, or my brother wanted to watch something else. Oh, the Long-Distance-Collect-Call Wars..."It's free for you, and cheap for them!" was a later tagline of one of those commercials. I'm glad they finally gave up this somewhat fraudulent advertising, but cell phones pretty much eliminated the idea of long distance charges, didn't they?

[@mamaneedsagrande]

Ohhhhhh inflation...

[@yusakug]

For Love or Money is one of the more generic and forgettable romantic comedies ever made. It was obviously trying to be a sweet, 1930s kind of romantic comedy, but it really just kind of falls flat in every way. The only interesting thing about it is that the guitar Michael J. Fox used in Back to the Future makes an appearance in one scene.
