Kingdom of the Commercials - Nostalgia Critic

I read a fic in which a neo-Nazi villain was being beaten by a hero and the villain asked why he would beat him for another race and the hero responded "B****, I would beat you for Klondike Bar." I burst out laughing and that ad is Old.

10:30 Honestly, I'm with Nostalgia Critic when it comes to unobtainium. Calling the plot device of Avatar by its trope name is honestly kinda hilarious. As he put it, it's like if the item in the brief case in Pulp Fiction was legitimately called the MacGuffin.

Was it higher or lower than a couple cups? I feel like that much caffeine in a small can could be hazardous for your health or at least your heart rate. One cup of coffee is 3 times the amount of caffeine we should consume a day. I drink 3 energy drinks a day to stay awake since I'm forced to run on 4 hours of sleep and I can feel it hurting my kidneys and heart after a year. Mostly my kidneys.

Fun fact: Unobtanium is an actual term (albeit not for any specific material). the definition for unobtanium is "a highly desirable material that is hypothetical, scientifically impossible, extremely rare, costly, or fictional, or has some of these properties in combination". Basically, "Unobtanium" is just used as a catchall term for material that's exceedingly rare, or costly to obtain.

I only remember watching one episode of BraveStarr, when I was a little kid; it during a big move from California to the Midwest. We were staying the night at a hotel (if I remember right, it was actually in Texas) and I watched an episode of it with my little brother while we were there; I think it was the first episode, in fact. That was the only time I ever saw the cartoon, but at some point after that my parents got us a plastic mug with the characters on it; so the cartoon never left my memory.

Kingdom Of The Commercials is currently the 14th and most recent of the commercial specials from Nostalgia Critic including his Top 12 Christmas special from 2016. I was laughing the hardest over NC’s comment when he said “it’s like the movie Dune if it was written by Ted Cruz!” referring to the BraveStarr commercial. The Dillinger from the Resident Evil remake that fires . 22 magnum rounds was merely intended for use of suicide by any of the Umbrella staff. Personally i never played any of the Resident Evil games since R3 Nemesis back in September of 1999. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at how atrocious the original Nintendo Legend Of Zelda commercials were from the mid-late 80’s i believe they originally aired back in 1986 if i recall correctly. Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me Princess! 👸🏼👑💣🛡🗡 Honestly i don’t think Doug made up for that lack of his trademark “COMMERCIALS!” scream which is exactly why i looked it up and it was in the ad/commercial break from his review of the movie Mrs. Doubtfire that it took place! I still don’t know how to feel about those Sprite Image is nothing, obey your thirst commercials from the late 90’s-early 00’s. The Jurassic Park toy announcer’s scream is priceless because compared to the screaming from SpongeBob SquarePants they match and sync up almost perfectly. Lmfao 😂🤣 It’s fair to say that Canada 🍁 🇨🇦 has the most F’d up PSA’s that we’ve ever seen! Thanks again Nate, Kate, and Nick for reacting to another one of Nostalgia Critic’s most hilarious and entertaining videos of this year in 2023! Until next time, have yourself a Natetastic day!

Hillside Farms Brown Sugar Ham: the Jamaican in that commercial had a chill vibe to him and was pleasant. ? : Can't remember the exact commercial but it probably had to do with insurance as they kept having messed up things happening to the couple such as a pet chihuahua being taken by a bird or being kidnapped by clowns. ? : another one I can't remember but it had puppets in it.
