This is the continuation of my collection of Circuit City Commercials

[@danielrendon9149]

man i miss working at circuit city its the best place i ever worked ..loved every moment .. great benefits and really cared and took care of their employees.

[@thystaff742]

I worked there, and I was done dirty.

[@jeanaquin]

5:18 Well, those new stores didn’t last very long. 😬

[@cman41886]

LOL JUAN CONDE (Richmond news host) which is appropriate considering they were a richmond chain

R.I.P CIRCUIT CITY 1949-2009

[@KillSocialism]

Yep, I remember Circut City would actually give you the paid difference on a item if another store was selling the exact item for cheaper within 30 days of purchase. I got back 5 bucks cause they had that policy. Then when ever I had any problems with the electronic stuff I didn't have to worry about having receipts. Recently I got some high dollar earbuds that went bad on me from walmart and I got a warranty but couldn't find my receipt. Walmart told me they couldn't do anything without the receipt. I won't buy anymore expensive electronics from walmart.

R.I.P CIRCUIT CITY 1949-2009

[@saxman112]

+anandguruji83 They're actually coming back now!

[@X1GenKaneShiroX]

saxman112 How?

[@gli7utubeo]

So much for the "lifetime guarantee" from firedog (at 6:41). I guess it was Circuit City's lifetime they were talking about.

[@pasadenacatpink]

Nice closing sequence. Circuit City was 60 years old when it was out of business. SO SAD. :,(

[@ambazack]

6:39 'lifetime guarantee' You mean one year guarantee right?

[@mr.goodboi2780]

Watching these was really fun if only to see the culture change from last video in the mid 80s where it is very soft and family friendly to the snarky, in your face funniness of everything in the 00s. It's crazy how much advertising has changed in 40 years, and how many cultural institutions such as Circuit City we've lost along the way.

[@kgoundan]

DIVX was an early indicator of the demise of Circuit City. Netflix obviously killed it.

[@sonicfan23]

I miss Circuit City :(

[@nickleization]

circuit city is making a comeback hooray!

[@coffeeandsugar20]

Amazing to see how much DVD players have come down from $349.99 to $39.99...

[@Burritosuupreme]

Computers & Cars all the way down to throw it in the trash.

[@danieltaz6555]

I still have a PlayStation 3 fat i bought at circuit city on black friday 2008 after i had to camp out all day on thanksgiving to get the deal

[@pandaroc1]

i worked so hard to make this company great i had so many friends and great customers that were loyal to CC so when all the changes started i left. but ill never forget what i learned working at cc.

[@hoss73ford]

ahh the '90s, still good memories. If only management hadn't got rid of the good employees a few years before they went belly up, they might have had a chance. The later ones had no idea what they were selling. So sad.

[@firarisaatler1]

Mark Muffs yea so like this is like a printer and a phone put together

[@dotxyn]

wow, what a difference in advertising from 1999 to 2000

[@TORRESTANIA]

Circuit city was headquartered in Richmond va

[@RagedContinuum]

Where is that circuit city christmas new-age FALALALALA commercial? It was amazing in HD, using red color animated wipes

[@Tbolt1000TForLife]

the ones from 99' and before were way better then 00' and up!

[@stryderzer0]

That quality change from 1998 to 99 tho

[@danielsantana540]

I do remember. that based on that 2002 circuit city commercial that Circuit city stores purchases on their computer if the consumer loses receipt

[@TMBtD]

The last batch of commercials, they really went off breaking the bank with the production and all the offers.. That only accelerated the demise. They were great ads, yet a little awkward when I saw them in 2008, you could tell something was up. They were no longer as riled up to get you into the store like the 90s ads.

[@Miguelramirez-ow7ot]

damn son, only tree hundred and fiddy dollars for a dvd player thats also compatible with DivX? what a fuckin bargain

[@Miguelramirez-ow7ot]

+Jeb Voorhees what the fuck are you talking about?

[@Disneyfan95]

@RGaffney43 i remember it!!!!who was that kid????

[@dialjake851]

The DivX guy is Juan C. from WRIC TV-8

[@hatchetryda219]

that commercial about 3 different prices is talking about sears lol

[@estew6764]

I don’t remember Divix??

[@ericerto8250]

Nice job on putting this video together

[@2000mightymegatron]

Well it's official I'm starting to feel pretty damn old now.

[@Paulbuslon]

Is that Jonathan Mangum?

[@jonathancreveling8699]

Seriously, a Ned's Glass Repair guy blasts his speakers so loudly with his windows open that all the store windows break out!

[@sublime2craig]

Dude I remeber when Dvd's came out, and I thought to myself who the fuck is going to buy this shit!!!! Its so expensive and my tape collection will never die!!!!! Fuck I was wrong but I still have about 25 Beta Tapes (with the beta player) and about 150 VHS that I will not get rid of!!!!!!

[@JasnoGT]

Blonde "that flosses" is hot! I forgot about her! haha

[@RGaffney43]

Has anyone heard of a commercial from 2005-2006-ish with a kid playing video game? I know the kid in the commercial.

[@BoogsterSU2]

If Circuit City started in 1949, then what is the oldest CC commercial they have? Do they have commercials before 1987 to the very beginning?

[@MCO18]

I still have my walking TV from Circuit City

[@devinwilliams400]

PLEASE BRING CIRCUIT CITY BACK!!!!

[@hammerfall3]

just loved the calm song from the last 2 minutes of video..

[@krisalyx]

at least you didn't include those depressing "going out of business" comericials (gezzzz)

[@wolfgang1097]

I think that instead of advertising going out of business sales in TV commercials, if anyone wants to know what's going on so far during the liquidation, there should be somewhat frequent updates on the news.

[@GDelva2003]

I remember the one with the plug

[@sears_mechaniker_tyler]

i wish i was alive to go there, it seems like a awesome store Yeah i wish i could go there but i was born 2008

[@thystaff742]

The coolest part of circuit city was the stereo sound room. They had a room set up with car stereos and speakers for you to sample.

[@sears_mechaniker_tyler]

@@thystaff742 Seems like a dream

[@RhinoStompin]

When Circuit City pulled that sweet ass plug (flying at the end of the commercial, which then becomes the store front) from it's ads... I pulled the plug on shopping at Circuit City!

[@RGaffney43]

@TheNascarfan14 I don't know the kid very well, so I don't want to give out his name. But I do know him! He was talking about being in it, and I wanted to find the commercial.

[@myncesackcloth8893]

Very Tim Hunkin after 6 minutes when the machines started to come to life and have legs in a sort of "Secret Life Of Machines" (Tim Hunkin's tv show) sort of way. I bet Hunkin would approve of this.

[@theappleman258]

lmao the remote shit a battery at 6:32 XD

[@DawnPatroler]

I had a divix player long ago, i didn't even know what the fuck a divix was! but it played dvds as well.

[@JetstreamGW]

That friggin' nu School promotion... What the HELL were we thinking?

[@DancingPickle82]

I floss too...

[@SP84Fanatic]

In the "Ned's Glass" commercial, "Ned" looks like Drew Carey and the Circuit City employee looks like Tyrese Gibson.

[@heyitsablackguy9553]

7:06, the funniest one.

[@joygaller9741]

Circuit City is Closed and Rebuilding to Best Buy

[@jerseydevil1995]

first time i've seen someone say the word Jadakiss on TV and not got shot

[@bratzboi]

i heard that their coming back! under new management.

[@firehawkns]

lol @1:15, I had the same amount of Gold "expert" stickers when I left the company.

[@TheMichael408]

@mrbrown2195 My computer was an e machine and only good through 99-2000,then it got old

[@francotico1]

Wrangler, Pick Me Up, Mixed Signals must be the stupidest commercial of all-time. I mean since when TV's, Cameras have legs?

[@albear972]

Was the drive to 65 what killed CC?

[@General_Belu]

Don’t y’all know that Circuit City still exist?

[@firarisaatler1]

Wow, the quality of the commercials fell down after 2000.

[@Jetsgo]

2:54 love the jingle

[@PedroKid2000]

36 months guarantee. Didn't even last that long.

[@Mikey129]

6:38 I wonder if they still stand behind their "lifetime guarantee" on Firedog services?

[@Adonis1884]

11.99 well prices haven't change that much except were fucking almost 10 years after.. and the music just got worse..

[@Appleboy78165]

"5 DIVX movies after rebate." Oh boy! I'm so excited!

[@x_xcdjx_x4622]

wow

[@mjtheman23]

3:22 I have a feeling that's how they went out of buisness...

[@OldsmobileSilhouetteLover]

That take it home commercial is so racist. Can we take circuit city home?

[@Alexs23743]

1:05: ...You smell that? That's the shark that Circuit City jumped. DivX died, and for the next decade, they lied. D: 2:35: JONATHAN MANGUM. :D 3:25: So, Circuit City still had that "plus 10% of the difference" offer (worded differently) in 2002. I wonder if they ever dropped that. "Nu School" -Holy cringe, Batman! What's "built-in wireless G"?

[@jxxyyy1112]

Ayo 😂? 2:11

[@stormgirl09]

is it sad that i still seem people using those old late 90s beige computers as late as like 2006....I live in the midwest so i have no experience with Hurricane Katrina or hurricanes at all for that matter but i remember seeing aftermath videos of Katrina and in the rubble i kept seeing computers from like 1998....i was like were these people stuck in the 90s?? I thought the south being behind tech wise was only a stereotype not for real.....O.O

[@Lightningillustrated]

I Blame walmart and best buy

[@TheKrazyk2010]

Curcuit city did it to themselves

[@akilahheberer437]

0:00-0:59 These are my favorites since I like computers!

[@albear972]

DIVX crap! CC lost a bunch of money with this stupid scheme.

[@huehnerfuss]

What was that any way?

[@worldofai-games1036]

DIVX was Circuit City's way to create trial versions of movie DVDs. The disc is similar to DVD but would shut down after 48 hours of play. The 48 hours reflects the typical timeframe for a rental DVD, which was the market Circuit City was trying to compete in. After 48 hours of play, you get the option to extend the disc for a few more days or convert it to an unlimited DIVX for an additional fee. The technology was widely unpopular for its special high priced players.

[@thystaff742]

@World of AI - Games Not trial version of a DVD, but a DVD rental. I told a manager it would flop, and he argued with me over it. I didn't need to say a word to him when we were throwing all the divix dvds into a bin to be shipped to a warehouse.

[@johnnytrombosion9987]

It's great how come CC doesn't have racist & steriotypical commercials....
