90's Commercials Vol. 503

[@mattypenta]

The MST3K theme in the bumpers is an instant nostalgia button. Never fails. That ITT Tech commercial felt inescapable in the 90s. TV and movies in the 90s is why I've always like russell terriers. It seemed like if a TV show or movie needed a friendly dog, it was going to be a terrier (usually jack russell) or golden lab.

1995 with the Comedy Central commercials? This was the time period when the main specialty networks like Comedy Central, Sci-Fi and Cartoon Network were worth watching.

[@WilfredCthulu]

You have got to be kidding me with the Sheik commercial lol. I would 100% think it's an over the top parody made recently if I saw it anywhere else. Love it. Lots of amazing commercials this volume. Insert obligatory "for me it was Tuesday" joke here.

5:42 - This line was thrown in literally to be used in McDonald’s commercials.

2. Coca Cola- I remember seeing the Sun drink a bottle of Coca Cola in commercials like this one and always wondered if the Sun can drink liquids like that, wouldn’t it evaporate immediately inside of him, due to the temperature being well over 1,000 degrees inside of him? Guitar Today VHS- Learning to play guitar just by watching a VHS seems like a neat idea, but I’m not sure how effective it would be if you get stuck learning a technique and there’s nobody you can ask for help. Fruitopia- Watching the kaleidoscope style designs in this commercial makes it one of the most artistic commercials I’ve ever seen.

[@doesnothinspecial6680]

I was in my early teens. In 95. Minus the local commercials.I remember every one of those commercials. Fan of MST3K as well.

[@darbow898]

Seeing commercials from three weeks before I was born is... an experience.

[@hrtvfan2870]

ITT Tech got a lot of mileage out of their commercials during this period (many of which went back to the late 1980s and would be shown into the 2000s).

[@RetroEli82]

Yeah man, can't go wrong with MST3K, Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist and Fruitopia. Great video

[@yusakug]

12:33 - I guess mom dropped a few shrooms before going shopping…

[@DanZero77]

I was late on the MST3K fan train as I didn't get Comedy Central or Sci Fi on cable until they were in season 8-9 of the series so I got a lot of catching up to do, I haven't even seen #616 yet! I do enjoy other season 6 episodes such as The Sword & The Dragon, Red Zone Cuba and San Francisco International!

[@80sCommercialVault]

"The Sword and the Dragon" is good and reminiscent of the other Russo/Finnish fantasy films they showed in the Joel era such as "The Day The Earth Froze" (aka "Sampo") and "The Magic Voyage of Sinbad" (aka "Sadko"). The bad movies I'm thinking of are ones like "The Skydivers", "The Starfighters" and the aforementioned "The Beast of Yucca Flats".

[@sammicopor]

These commercials are a trip.

[@goodtarjones]

I don’t think there is a piece of music I have heard more times than the MST3K bumper music

[@darktetsuya]

man I heard stories about behind the scenes on Street Fighter... pretty sure there's been videos on here about how all that went down. but yeah Julia's performance definitely made that movie worth it as a so-bad-its-good film!

[@shenloken2]

01:21 This dude ranting against condoms for the oddest of reasons!! Especially in the era where sex was on everyone’s mind. There’s a reason we also call the 90’s The Naughties.

[@Emilya-A]

I've seen that commercial before, a man with intense uncontrolled anger screams raging outbursts about Sheik condoms. I wonder why they made that a commercial.

[@skwerlz4us]

Last time I saw that was in the 90s when I was a teenager. I remember thinking "Is this what adults think we're like?" As if we're gonna identify with condom rage because we're rebellious? I didn't realize how weird & over the top it was until seeing it today.

[@MelissaHash]

1995 I was 12 and dang it! #BringBackFruitopia!

[@tonelemoan]

Of all the life-changing moments that one remembers from formative years the whole Opal Fruits/ Starburst renaming fiasco is one of those that will haunt me until my dying day. They contain no solar effluent but do indeed taste like fruit! Don't even get me STARTED on the whole Marathon/ Snickers debacle. Things were never the same after that. Literally, the newsagent would frown at me say, "Do you mean Starburst young boy with a sweet tooth and money burning a hole in his pocket?"

[@pkmnan00bis]

" Can I persuade you to take a sandwich, sir? " " I'm a billionaire, Alfred. " " I heard Ms. Lane packed a bento for Superman. " " ... bring me a double decker with Bat-chips. "

[@TTrigg]

Sheik Condoms-he might be the last person expected to have been given one Mimi's International Cafe -this seemed like a nice place..if it had still been around Guy Fieri wouldve probably featured it on Diners Drive-Ins & Dives Santa Ynez Indian Casino-wonder who won that"sassy"red Toyota Street Fighter-"Quick,change the channel!!!" Wouldve loved seeing Dhalsim and Blanka take part in the fight scenes..this film would also serve as the basis for the USA Network animated series,which had a Mission Impossible-feel to it AMC Saturday Classics-before they became the"Walking Dead"Network

[@ellibre5831]

Still dont know why AMC never became what it was supposed to be. I remember a year wear we got the Three Stooges marathon for weeks but then it was canned and never felt like AMC ever again, it was just a channel with The Walking Dead episode Reruns and it sucked

[@chadkobylenski4193]

Starburst ad: Where's Ben Stein when you need him?

[@bryans138]

I don't think Batman ate McDonalds 😂

[@yusakug]

12:49 - I can’t tell if these interviewers are depressed or want to kill these applicants, because they kind of look like both.

[@marymunkelwitz3917]

Racket Girls is definitely one of the worst movies shown on MST3k. There’s “so bad it’s good” and there’s “not even MST3k can save this, bad.” The latter category applies here for sure. It’s one of the few that I couldn’t even get through.

[@DarlaKajca]

Funny you mention beast of yucca flats I love that episode but I have a really high tolerance for bad movies so I understand not liking it

[@terryleemangrumii8566]

American Movie Classics- Please, PLEASE, PLEASE, AMC, create a free-to-air digital channel that is nothing but what the AMC cable channel used to be....nothing but classic movies! Speaking of which: You too, TNT, make an over-the-air broadcast network that is NOTHING like today's TNT cable network, but EXACTLY LIKE TNT in the cable network's first ten years!

[@brianbuchmeier]

Weird seeing the early M&Ms characters before they got their iconic voices and looks. Also, was the guy at 3:21 supposed to be funny? I honestly can't tell if he was trying to tell jokes or just rambling.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Yes, he was supposed to be funny. Here you can watch the same comedian Tom Rhodes in a video from 2009 also talking about space and being completely unfunny: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_NoqOjgMqneqs
