90's Commercials Vol. 504

[@mattypenta]

That Casper Pepsi commercial was one of my favorites back in the day. Most of the jokes went over my head at the time, but I remember watching a lot of Kids in the Hall on Comedy Central. I think it was the main thing I tuned in for. "I'm crushing your head" will never leave my brain. I never liked Tommy Lee Jones playing Two-Face as a discount version of Joker even when I was a kid, but I love Batman Forever. Still my favorite Batman movie nearly 30 years later.

7:42 - I remember Casper being quite heavily promoted around this time with this commercial and Pizza Hut doing tie ins that played consistently that summer. While the movie didn’t do as well as hoped, it still struck a chord with kids who did see it.

I am currently going through your entire catalog I'm on playlist two of the '80s I just wanted to thank you for all this incredible content, I found a couple other channels that are fun but you have just immense amount of content and I really enjoy the comment section. Thank you so much for all this hard work!

Good to know that Ming Dynasty is still around in Santa Barbara; I might check that place out when I get a chance to visit Santa Barbara someday. I've had the Batman mug from the McDonald's Batman Forever Gotham Glassware Collection. Not sure if I still have it today though, but it was my go-to mug to drink at the time.

10:30 Oh boy... But I remember how the OJ trial was the only thing people wanted to talk about back then. It was everywhere and you couldn't get away from it. You're absolutely right about the whole trial being a circus. 13:43 Personally, my favorite "klassic" is Smooth move, Ex-Lax.

I remember those Batman Forever glasses. My friend and I went out to pick one up on our way to see the movie Congo. Being fond of the Congo novel at the time, the movie was a huge disappointment, but the glasses were awesome. I had the Riddler one. Wish I knew what happened to it.

Cascade- I love the disgusted look on the kid’s face at 1:38 when he picks up the dirty plate while on the phone. Promo For “The Kids In The Hall”- I remember finding this show on DVD and watched it a lot. Pretty decent Sketch Comedy series, I would say.

The 1990s was obessed with iced tea like the 2020s are obessed with iced coffee.

[@charlieretro]

Ruby Red Squirt I thought Id never see again!

[@charliejoson9145]

Ah yes, the mushroom cut (but don't think we called it that in my country). My childhood crush was chubby in a cute way and he had that mushroom haircut 🤭🤭🤭 all of the boy band members had that haircut, yes? And before Wikpedia, we also had a CD of Microsoft Encarta '95 and '98 as well as an interactive Madeline educational CD game and a playable CD game version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? The only downside to using CD-ROMs is that they get stuck inside the "CD player" of the beige CPU and I have to manually restart the CPU

Taco 🌮 Supreme Doritos need to come back!! ASAP

[@WWJD85]

I remember eating those. They tasted sorta like a combo of nacho cheese and ranch Doritos with a spicy kick.

[@WWJD85]

Pre South Park Comedy Central seems like an awesome channel to watch. I would've enjoyed Watching Dr. Katz. I didn't get Comedy Central in my area until the 2000s. Got Encarta 95 for Christmas with my new computer that year.

[@skwerlz4us]

I loved Dr Katz but only saw the first 2 seasons when it aired. I was 17 in 1995 & had never been to a therapist before so I probably didn't fully appreciate it. As an adult the show might be even better to watch.

[@janedoe3043]

Look how big those Doritos bags were!

[@ammiebaker2911]

I want the band who made the Heath sensations song to give me an album. Or wonder if they made other jingles. Lololol

[@MichaelAlderton]

Had everyone of those Batman glasses saw the movie that year with my Mom and sister ah 1995 a great year and time to be alive

[@mikeyexplainseverything5482]

Those glasses kept your drinks cold as hell.

[@janedoe3043]

I can say i was 100% watching this broadcast.

[@80sCommercialVault]

Just an FYI this was not the original broadcast of this MST3K episode but a midday repeat on a weekday 4:57.

[@janedoe3043]

I still have my Riddler glass.

[@trevour]

7:12 Nike's ad using Ride's "Chrome Waves." Andy Bell must've made a decent chunk of change between this and VW using Hurricane #1's "Step Into My World" in one of the '98 New Beetle spots.

[@DanZero77]

Third attempt at a comment on this video probably because I had a website linked. Ming Dynasty closed on September 1, 2019. The owners retired. Google Maps has it marked as closed and various articles covered it, it was a real institution in Santa Barbara! I miss Taco Supreme Doritos so much! In the late 90s my Monday night ritual was having them watching RAW on USA! Wrestling was better back then!

[@80sCommercialVault]

I honestly don't know why they weren't showing up. I saw at least one of them and edited my video description to remove my comment about the restaurant still being open, which was based on their website still being active. FYI I have the comments set for approval on all of my new videos due to spam/bot/troll attacks I've had in the past but your account is marked as an "approved user". :)

Mr. Rooter? I thought it was Roto Rooter.

Batman Forever: Bad movie but awesome soundtrack!

[@janedoe3043]

It was a campy film and fun. Bad but good.

[@feverspell]

U2's song "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" is one of the absolute best. Shame it doesn't get more love.

[@simo3261]

does anyone recognize the voice of the Comedy Central announcer? sounds familiar

[@80sCommercialVault]

Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller was their announcer back then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_Jillette

[@Jeff-gj7ko]

Squirt's not bad but the flavor leaves your mouth too soon.

[@ComikBookG]

@80sCommercialVault is there a particular reason you won't upload past 1996?

[@80sCommercialVault]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-to-consumer_advertising#Partial_deregulation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulations_on_children%27s_television_programming_in_the_United_States#Children's_Television_Act TV changed drastically after this. I have no interest in providing commercials from after these changes in regulation. My channel, my choice.

@@80sCommercialVault I appreciate the response! I love your channel.
