The Hershey's Kisses ad will always hold a special place in my heart. My mom told me when i was very little (was born in '91 so it was still a still newish commercial) i was napping in her lap when suddenly the jingle began and i sat up to watch it. Then, once it was done, i went right back to bed. It's why i take the few seconds of my time to look up and watch when i see it... unless it's the version with the family ruining it.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Well that’s so wholesome I love it!

[@Raelynn-nl5rd]

I know it's officially the Christmas season the first time I see it on TV. And, yes, I agree, the one with the family RUINED a classic that, at least for me, defines the start of the season.

[@zebreacts9706]

6:25 Yes. I can't remember the details, but apparently thanks to a MASSIVELY successful marketing campaign, in Japan KFC became a traditional holiday food.

[@toonamidemon2519]

Basically in the 70s KFC in Japan marketed it's chicken as a Christmas meal because Japan has no turkeys. It was a huge hit, and KFC became a Christmas staple in Japan. To the degree of being sold out. I read about it a few years back. Also, go watch A Nightmare Before Christmas already. It's a classic. If you have Disney+ it's on there.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

That is brilliant marketing omg

[@umbrella3235]

How have you not heard of A Christmas Carol? It's THE Christmas movie/book/story.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I’ve seen the polar express

[@Thundarr100]

@@theduckgoesmoo That’s not the same thing. There are probably dozens of retellings of A Christmas Carol that it’s virtually impossible to get through the month of December without seeing SOME version of it on TV. There’s: Scrooge (aka Marley’s Ghost) (1901) A Christmas Carol (1908) A Christmas Carol (1910) Scrooge (1913) A Christmas Carol (1914) The Right To Be Happy (1916) Scrooge (1922) A Christmas Carol (1923) Scrooge (1928) Scrooge (1935) A Christmas Carol (1938) Leyenda de Navidad (1947) Scrooge (1951) Scrooge (1970) Scrooged (1988) The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) A Christmas Carol (2012) A Christmas Carol (2015) A Christmas Carol (2018) The Passion of Scrooge (2018) Spirited (2022) And those are just the theatrically released live action versions. There’s also the animated versions. Like: Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol (1962) A Christmas Carol (1982) Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983) A Christmas Carol (1994) A Christmas Carol (1997) An All Dogs Christmas Carol (1998) Christmas Carol: The Movie (2001) A Christmas Carol (2006) Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas Carol (2006) A Christmas Carol (2009) Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (2022) And THEN there’s the made for TV versions. Either entire movies made for television broadcast, or Christmas episodes of TV shows that were popular at the time retelling the story of A Christmas Carol with one of the main characters acting in the role of “Scrooge”. I won’t bother listing them all, as the list would go on for WAY too long. But I think you get the idea.

[@ismaelguardado1414]

​@@theduckgoesmoowhen referring to A Christmas Carol they're usually referring to a book by Charles Dickens

[@duduteixeira7736]

6:05 wait, you don't know about "A Christmas Carol"? You know with Scrooge and the ghosts of past, present and future? It's a christmas story classic that everyone knows about it ether the book or with movie adaptations of it.

He seems to be unfamiliar with a lot of pop culture, I’ve noticed.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Nope lol not a clue

[@MarioUnderground]

tbf, I only know it because others have talked about it so I don't find it that odd

[@MrParkerman6]

This guy was born under Iraq.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

@@MrParkerman6 IRAQ???? That’s a new theory!

[@joegiles7785]

During the Christmas truce, there was a German soldier who didn't approve - Adolf Hitler. Even before he became the Fuhrer he was a dislikable person. Merry Christmas (at little late)

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I remember he would just run letters to officers like he didn’t actually fight

[@BlazeWriter]

This is possibly my favorite countdown from NC, it’s both funny & heartwarming, just what I want out of a Christmas video.

[@koopliss]

It genuinely doesn't feel like christmas until i start hearing that hershey's kiss commercial in the background.

[@kylemorello4787]

And they don't get turned into a chocolate chip.

[@HeadBodyMasterPersonal]

At a certain point, you saying that you've never heard of something, never seen/played something, and/or didn't know something becomes redundant. I wonder how many times *just this year* you've said those things. I'd live to see someone make a count of that.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I’ve made probably close to 700 videos this year so it would be a lot

[@toyeen13folayan]

I know it's a running theme that you haven't seen a lot of things but somehow I still get genuinely shocked when you say stuff like "I haven't seen Nightmare Before Christmas." HOW?😂

[@popculturewatch8689]

I'm nearly 40 and haven't seen it. I don't even I know anyone that has. I know I haven't heard anyone personally talk about it. It's not that serious. It's not an important movie to a lot of people.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

I honestly need to do a live stream where people just ask if I’ve seen something and make a list

[@cookiedestroyer2801]

For a good time take a shot every time Kyle says he hasn't seen something.

[@BlazeWriter]

You’ll be dead

[@theduckgoesmoo]

You’d have a good time for like 30 minutes

[@silverscreen842]

Nostalgia Critic made a video about the History of the M&M characters. Great Video!

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Hmmm

[@silverscreen842]

@@theduckgoesmoo I know. A whole video on the history of their ad campaigns

[@dastemplar9681]

Number 1 is absolutely truly deserved and it still deserves more recognition. It’s a WWI story that everyone should know that shows what Christmas can really do to people. Think about it, Christmas alone caused a war to be put on pause. It is that powerful and meaningful to people. The Christmas Truce of 1914, should be considered widely as humanity’s finest Christmas, a holiday that influenced men from both sides, to at least for a day, choose humanity over war.

[@TnT_F0X]

One bad director in a Commercial for Coffee and BAM... few years later step siblings start getting stuck places... It's the Butterfly Effect in action!

[@johanstenfelt1206]

I am almost impressed by how many times I’ve heard you ask “what? what is that? Or I am confused”.

[@Stan_man]

The very first animation about showman is actually guite beautiful and sad story. If you ever get a chance to watch it, i highly recomend it. Its one of the specials that comes out of tv every christmas day. At least here in Finland.

[@Stan_man]

Also i notice that they made continuation for that commercial 3 years ago.

[@ninjagregshow9423]

How duck knows so little about....anything will never cease to astound me

[@theduckgoesmoo]

There’s always more to come

[@darknessunknown4384]

I was born in the early 80's, so this playlist brought back back a lot of fond memories of my childhood. And if you've never seen any version of A Christmas Carol, I highly recommend the 1984 version starring George C. Scott; it's the best version in my opinion.

[@matthewvulpe3302]

I actually do remember the Folgers commercial, the Honey Nut Cheerios commercial, and the Fruity Pebbles commercial (as well as the Hershey's Kisses, M&Ms, and Campbell's Soup commercials). And if you thought the incestuous undertones of the Folgers commercial were bad, just wait until you check out Critic's review of Stephen King's Sleepwalkers.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Uhh why??

[@matthewvulpe3302]

@@theduckgoesmoo Let's just say it dives into similar territory---but worse.

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Because someone is called a Christmas scrooge lol

[@jasondamrau9943]

God it's crazy how your complete lack of references actually has me cheering when you recognize something

[@sashatiernan5907]

Irn bru basically the Scottish version of orange side with caffeine added it was created because Scottish iron and steel workers were drinking to much alcohol on the job so the company created this drink combination that’s kind of like an energy drink

[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

I'd like to see you watch some of Extra History's stuff - they covered the Christmas Truce, the Sengoku Jidai period of Japan, their subsequent ill-fated invasion of Korea in their series about Admiral Yi "The Martial Lord of Loyalty", and my personal favorite, "The Seminal Tragedy", which is all about the tragic chain of events that led up to World War I. I *guarantee* that you'll tear up by the end of that particular four-episode series.

[@parkersmith8711]

I was thinking you should check out Overly Sarcastic Productions, classics/modern classics summarized

[@benjaminschroeder5465]

I second this, OSP is AMAZING

[@DaMainman2]

Irn Bru is Scotland's most popular fizzy drink, known for its nuclear-orange hue and a vaguely metallic taste (they used to claim it was "made from girders"). The drink is available worldwide, but the version sold within the UK is the 'authentic' recipe, with some ingredients that are literally _illegal_ in most other countries. This parody commercial, which features a bunch of famous Scottish landmarks, is tame by their standards; you'll find much weirder and wilder Irn Bru ads archived on KZbin.

[@WolfyKnight-pf8dc]

Its not exactly a Christmas commercial, but every winter they play a few ads for a local fur company. Im not sure when they were recorded originally, but it is definitely been around a while. I think maybe the 70s? (Dittrich Furs, if you wanna look it up)

[@theduckgoesmoo]

Wait people still buy fur?

[@BlahBlahWoofWoof12]

1:30 I got a Jurassic Park beanie & Friends socks & I hung out in your stream 4:52 What are you doing, Step-Duck? 14:36 I warned you about conforming to apple

[@Thundarr100]

I don’t know why you didn’t recognize the Flintstones commercial. Nostalgia Critic reviewed it in one of his earliest Commercial Specials. And I saw you reacting to it.

[@Lasherluke]

How many things have you not seen, it's like you've never seen any tv, films or anything.

[@michaelmunns]

You should watch his Blind The History of the M&M Characters video it’s pretty good

[@joshuaseagondollar2495]

I'm surprised someone hasn't made a certain kind of parody of that Folger's commercial yet

[@umbrella3235]

I’m sure they have

HOW HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF THE SNOWMAN!!!!

[@MrOctavian2012]

Id love to see your reaction to his history of the m&m characters, its weirdly informative

[@crcoghill]

you know, if you want a classic commercial Doug didn't talk about, i recommend this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHi8XodqjJJ1hcU the company John Lewis is a Department Store in the UK that is more well known for their Christmas Adverts they have been doing since 2007 and, personally, i think this is their best one. still gets me teary-eyed.

I only knew that M&Ms commercial and the Coca-Cola commercial with the trucks. But that's probably because most of these weren't shown in Germany. At least not that I know of.
