90's Commercials Vol. 460

[@yusakug]

16:59 - Ah, the “big pizza” war of the 90s. Back when the chains were trying to fill our bellies and our arteries with more pizza than we could handle. It was a fun time indeed.

[@popculturewatch8689]

I love me some blockbuster commercials. Im happy with the way things are but hitting blockbuster fridays after school was one of my favorite parts of my childhood.

[@DDOG756]

I loved SNICK as a kid. I miss those days.

[@cwing1028]

I remember the McDonald’s commercials with cosmo, also those loose/wide jeans, I had those haha. I miss those times

[@yusakug]

7:41 - Only when you’re a kid could having someone walk up to you who looks like this and want to shake its hand make sense.

[@TheRealPentiumMMX]

I haven't heard that Creepy Crawlers jingle in forever

[@justbenelson]

That's the one Creepy Crawlers jingle that stick with me, so much so that I sometimes sing it to myself.

[@yusakug]

This was the time period when Game Boy was really starting to reach its potential with games like Zelda and Super Mario Land 2, both of which were beyond what had been attempted on the handheld.

[@justbenelson]

Late 1980s and 1990s marketing was so weird, promoting Link's Awakening and Masters of the Universe toys with hip hop music - so unfitting.

[@80sCommercialVault]

@@justbenelson Apparently there was some sort of memo from Nintendo that all Zelda commercials must feature rap music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q57LfJaiZr9oaKs

Burger King- Seeing this ad in a few of the past few volumes, I’ve never realized how cheaply produced those animal trading cards looked. Creepy Crawlers- I owned this toy when I was a kid. It was fun making the insects, but from what I remember, you could easily burn yourself when baking the crawler mold in the oven in the kit. Corn Pops- In his desire for Corn Pops, I almost expected that kid to jump overboard from the boat into the water and swim to the shore to get it.

[@shenloken2]

Those BK Save the Animal cards were cheap af but we didn’t really know better. I mean we were just one year away from the internet starting to be available to the public! It wouldn’t take long till better quality images of animals would be available online than those cheap cards!

[@fearthebeardmomma2102]

I remember this block! This was right before we started back to school in Arizona. I would have been going into 7th grade that year.

[@jason4275]

I remember almost all of these commercials.

[@oldhoss44]

I Was 23, And Remember These Well.

[@DanZero77]

The recycling PSA and the car commercial after that - concentrated 90s!!!!! That's gonna be hard to top in future volumes!

[@wesleyrussell8386]

1:06 "my name is ZELDA and I'm here to say, I WANNA SAVE HYRULE in a major way"....

[@WWJD85]

7:30 salute your shorts was the show guts replaced that following monday at 530. looked it up in an old tv guide.

[@pkmnan00bis]

Salute Your Shorts was Nick's highest rated show when it was canceled. So why was it canceled? It was a budget show. To save even Viacom wanted production moved from California to the then-new Nick Studios in Florida. The cast refused to move, so Viacom canceled to save budget to produce some show called Beavis and Butt-head.

[@pkmnan00bis]

That Zelda commercial was certainly an early 90s commercial ...

[@blackmesacake5361]

The best time of my life!

[@Maqz22]

Just got all the way through this and realized that this was airing on my 5th birthday. I very well could have watched this almost 30 years ago.

[@MSP10julia]

Do You Have It? Nickelodeon GUTS and the upcoming show, Legends of The Hidden Temple are very overhyped for the 90s kids who grew up watching Nickelodeon, especially with the physical and brawny challenges the contestants have to face. 😃

[@darktetsuya]

yeah I feel you on not being a superfan of GUTS... back then I was never particularly good at sports or athletics I spent all my time on videogames, so all this high activity stuff didn't interest me that much.

[@_am.ber_]

I loved our creepy crawler machine

[@niico76]

I saw the movie “That Night” on HBO. It’s a good indie movie.

[@yusakug]

Do those living baseball cards scream if you put them in the wheels of your bike?

[@shenloken2]

They really were pushing those Yikes pencils back then as if the type of pencil you used defined how “cool” you were! To most kids it was just like any another pencil that you were probably doing your math homework or writing your book report with. Yeah…”cool.” :v

[@profile2047]

They didn’t work anywhere near as well as a standard pencil. I still feel an annoyance trying to use them for any extended period of time.

[@borntoclimb7116]

15:48 this globe brings memories

[@rowd149]

The Zelda ad doesn't feel so ill-conceived when you remember the Japanese LTTP dance party commercial. You could even say this was the brand at the time.

[@richardloganpowelliii4850]

30 years!

[@TTrigg]

Nickelodeon Guts-kind of a precursor to American Ninja Warrior(Junior version)? Hey Dude-one of the earliest roles for Christine Taylor(a.k.a Mrs Ben Stiller) Bullwinkle's Moose-o-Rama-hopefully the newest B & R revival ,with Jay Ward's daughter Tiffany producing,is still going to happen Recycle PSA-"..is a NYC Department Of Sanitation production,in association with Nickelodeon." That Night-,Dushku's character learned a very valuable lesson Right Here Right Now-missed opportunity to use Jesus Jones's song for these

[@profile2047]

I think guts came from American Gladiators.

[@oneslikeme]

@@profile2047 I think this is accurate. And American Ninja Warrior evolved from Sasuke, the original Ninja Warrior in Japan. Not sure if that evolved from something else. But, I'm sure that people who watched Guts helped grow the popularity of Ninja Warrior when it aired on G4, and then later American Ninja Warrior.

[@WWJD85]

@80scommericalvault it nice to know that i'm not the only one who wasn't a fan of guts.
