90's Commercials Vol. 311

[@Sick_Boy_Rick74]

I remember watching these commercials with my older kids... I had kids born in 91, 93, 96, 98, and 01! Now I’m a grandpa. Time flies you all. Enjoy it while you can. Next thing you know you’re an old bastard watching old commercials...

[@tenchimuyio]

Love watching these, feel 10 years old again... Sigh good times

[@yusakug]

Great to see the Super Mario Kart commercial again. Recently picked up a used copy, and am really enjoying playing it again.

[@MrJayRoc78]

I was 14 years old when these aired. Thanks for taking me back

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

I was 16. Fox Kids was a huge part of my High School experience (coming home from school and watching Batman and Animaniacs).

[@cheatsheet3325]

I'd forgotten about Mr. Cool Whip.

[@TerrickTerran]

Poor Jubilee can't even get pictured at the end of the X-Men credits.

[@S3NTINEL2001]

Thanks for blessing us with this new video.

[@lizzieoldroyd2651]

You know how Disney has Disney +. We need something like that for 80s, 90's and early 2000's. Shows, cartoons and movies. I'd subscribe!!!! 😊

[@blackphoenix77]

YES. I would watch the hell outta that.

[@briankinney3140]

And with the commercials like when Halloween and Christmas and specials

[@Lurker1979]

I owned a Creepy Crawlers Workshop. I think I still have couple of the molds somewhere in a box.

[@charliemartin-k7m]

I still own mine and I still have the box to it.

[@YaowBucketHEAD]

I still remember the weird smell of cooked rubber. I had a giant pickle jar full of the crawlers since I had no idea what else to do with them after I made them.

[@Senseman]

10:23 It wouldn't be an early 90's kids' commercial block without the Amazin' Fruit bears.

[@Dragonrider1227]

Did it ever bug anyone else as a kid that the X-Men end credits never reached Jubilee?

[@rabiroden]

I had a singular issue of that Fox Kids magazine that my aunt had gotten off of somebody in like 1996, and I kinda loved it. Had Carmen Sandiego on the cover. Always wished I had more. I remember it had a Beetleborgs comic made from stills from the show. And it had an ad for Nights into Dreams for Sega Saturn. I think local affiliates could customize it with their own pages too?

[@blackphoenix77]

This doesn't feel like it was thirty years ago (!) at all: watching these commercials makes me feel like I'm still a freshman in high school. P.S. I miss Ronald McDonald. Thanks a lot, Morgan Spurlock

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

In January of '93, I was a sophomore in high school. And no, I was NOT too old for cartoons. I loved the Fox Kids era.

[@DanZero77]

We've seen Larry Cedar a lot over the years and there he was again on the McDonalds ad. MAJOR CRUNCH EFFECT I'm invincible!

[@darktetsuya]

ugh, sorry you have to deal with more youtube drama... because I love what you're doing here and greatly appreciate the trip down memory lane with these videos! also was I the only one annoyed they never got around to jubilee's profile on the x-men credits? or was that just me? :P

[@darkellthepiercer]

There is a video that shows Jubilee's part...look it up.

[@darktetsuya]

@@darkellthepiercer oh no I believe it exists and they had a profile animation ready to go, I guess it was just a case of mild OCD everyone else got to show off their profile howcome it always cuts off before they even get to her?

[@TTrigg]

Froot Loops-Toucan Sam and the Rapping Rhino cut an album after doing this commercial X-Men end credits-wouldve been interesting if the show itself were done in CG using those models Class Of 96-90210 The College Years Jell-O Jigglers-Bill once said his favorite drink was Jello Shots... Auto and Cherokee-their song "Taste" was featured in the Alicia Silverstone film"The Crush" as well as "Stay Tuned" w/ John Ritter

[@hrtvfan2870]

Noticed the same problem with a recent upload. Apparently, setting the upload to "made for kids" also disables the comments section.

[@80sCommercialVault]

For the record...I'm not the one who set Vol. 310 as "made for kids"...youtube did. Once they make that determination I have absolutely no way to appeal it.

[@80sCommercialVault]

...and now the comments for Vol. 310 are turned back on. So false alarm? Kind of?

[@mgspada]

I was OBSESSED with the Dinosaurs series and had all the toys. I was also the perfect age for Happy Meals and ate them regularly. I have no clue how I missed out on those toys! Unless I didn’t and my brain is just decaying even more rapidly than anticipated.

[@mniscmoney]

I believe I picked up Toon Shredder at PlayCo toys way back when along with a few other TMNT figures that day. I remember it was shortly after the third movie came out because I also picked up a Movie 3 Raph figure. Though I've since sold most of my TMNT figures with only a few remaining, such as the wacky action Raph and Mike (I don't think that's their exact names, but they performed some unique actions so that's what I'm going with) since they were my first figures, so sentimental value there.

[@LadyVoldo]

That Toon Shredder is so expensive now.

[@therealseanw.stewart2071]

Thank you for making my day yet again. I love FOX K*** commercial breaks!

[@blackdragon6]

That ending theme of X-Men is hella underrated.

[@frankbutch323]

You are a good man thank you

[@DASWEDE420]

What Gameboy Game is being played in the fishing boat at 9:22 ????

[@kenisu3000]

Super Mario Land. The Mushroom power-up and Pause sound effects are unmistakable, and you can even hear the music from the first level underneath them.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

Trying to pin down the date for this broadcast. It's Fox Kids on a Saturday morning in January 1993, but when? I believe it's from Saturday, January 23rd, 1993. Here's our clues: At 11:15, they're promoting an "all new episode" of Batman featuring the Penguin. So that would be the Batman episode "The Mechanic", which actually premiered on Sunday night - on 1/24/93 - not Monday - this was the brief period where Batman aired in primetime on Sunday nights, and the announcer was probably expecting to premiere on Monday like normal...but that's the only "new" Batman episode featuring the Penguin from January of 1993. Next clue: at 5:16, we have a promo for "Class of '96" a show which aired from January to May of 1993, and it doesn't say it's the "premiere" just an all new episode. I think it was the 2nd episode (January 26th, 1993). So I think this is a broadcast of Fox Kids on Saturday, January 23rd, 1993.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

Another fun fact: President Clinton was inaugurated just 3 days prior, on January 20th, 1993.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Why don't you just read the full video description??? Exact recording dates are provided at #1 and #16.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

@@80sCommercialVault I.....now see that. And now hang my head in shame. Sorry, I enjoy the sleuthing when it comes to old VHS tapes, but should've realized you'd already done the work.

[@JosephASobora]

Excellent block, sad about that last video and what you're going through with these stupid law KZbin is doing! I blame FTC and KZbin CEO, Susan Wojcicki for this mess!

[@fakename7423]

I feel like it’s just the parents faults. Anything you do online is tracked. If my kids data was tracked for the purpose of marketing, I wouldn’t really have a problem

[@80sCommercialVault]

Regardless of your personal preference on data collection, COPPA is a federal law on the books that prohibits companies like Google from acquiring data from children and using it to directly advertise to them without parental consent. KZbin was flaunting their violation of COPPA to several large companies like Hasbro and the FTC got wind of it. It's basically entirely their fault, and they appear to be unwilling to offer an age gate or a "mixed-audience" option because it would limit overall viewership/data mining and hurt their bottom line.

[@rockstarTraveler]

@@80sCommercialVault Since I have no idea how this works behind the scenes - does this new KZbin rule affect the types of videos you can upload? Or does it just affect whether or not the comments are "open" vs closed? Just curious. I would hate to see it stop you from uploading certain videos since you are one of few that puts up good quality commercials on a regular basis.

[@80sCommercialVault]

@@rockstarTraveler It doesn't actually affect what type of videos I can upload, but on a video like this where the original intended audience was obviously kid-oriented and features toy commercials, it is more likely to be flagged as "for kids" by the algorithm they use and lose the comment sections (regardless of the fact that the content in it is nearly 30 years old). I'm not sure whether this algorithm actually looks at the content in the video to determine that, if it looks for things in the video description or a combination of the two. Since the first video affected by this was manually reverted back to being "not for kids" after two days, it may not be as big of an issue as I thought. But it's still something to consider when I am deciding what sort of content I'm going to post here.

[@blackphoenix77]

@@80sCommercialVault How does removing the comments section protect kids again? 🤔

[@blackdragon6]

Cherokee is actually a good guitarist too. She was playing a AC/DC cover in a GAP ad. She also made some great solo songs. I personally think that she was hella underrated and slept on.

[@Panzer83]

I never thought KZbin would stoop even lower when the "K" word is censored when used. Don't get me wrong I love this channel, but KZbin these days is absolute garbage.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Just to be clear, KZbin is not censoring anything. I am. I think the use of that word in the description of the last video might have caused it to be flagged as "for kids" by whatever algorithm they use...which automatically removes the comment sections. If self-censorship is what I have to do to keep the comment sections on these videos, I guess that's what I'll have to do.

[@Panzer83]

@@80sCommercialVault Fair enough.

[@andrejg4136]

KZbin is too big to be managed by humans anymore. I wish that human nature wasnt what it was and you could break the site up into logical sub-sites, but that's just me.

[@80sCommercialVault]

​@@andrejg4136 If KZbin offered a "mixed-audience" option for creators to categorize their video that would entirely remove the interest-based advertising that COPPA prohibits but keep stuff like comment sections...none of this would be an issue.

[@andrejg4136]

@@80sCommercialVault that's actually kinda what I'm getting at. There are logical solutions, but someone in that labyrinthine mess of a company has to both see and implement it l.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

I'm somewhat of a newcomer to your channel. I notice that you post in your "about" section that you don't post any commercials from after 1996. I wonder why that is? Is it because Fox Kids started to go downhill in 1997? (For instance, Batman went to Kids WB in 1997). Is it because 1996 is widely regarded as the last year "Millennials" were born? (Gen Z started in 1997, supposedly). Was it the rise of cable? Was the 2nd term of Bill Clinton as President where America started to go downhill?!? (I'm exaggerating, but was just curious).

[@80sCommercialVault]

IMO commercials started to go downhill fast in 1997. That was the year ads for prescription drugs started to air on TV. I'm just not interested in posting commercials made after that point.

[@Theonetruewonderfly]

@@80sCommercialVault That's fine. I enjoy all 80's 90's and 00's commercials...and a few late 70's era commercials. But not really anything before or after. Most of the commercials on my KZbin channel are from the 1997 to 2004 period (with a focus on Cartoon Network and Kids WB, because that's what I was into) and it is a different era from the Fox Kids early 90's years.

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

80sCommercialVault You know what? You’re sort of right. Thanks to the FCC letting prescription drug ads on TV I now have to sit through “O-O-O-OZEMPIC!” every other commercial break. 🙄
