It's funny how when we were young commercials were the time you ran to get snacks or something else. Couldn't wait for them to end. Now we watch them for fun.
These were the days my lil brother and I would come home from school and were home alone until our parents got home. We never did our homework straight after school we would sit on the couch and watch all these cartoons and start our work when we knew my mom got off work so she’d come home and see us doing our work. But I remember all these cartoons and commercials. Good ol nostalgia
This would have been the Christmas I got my Genesis with Sonic 2. Ended up being one of my favorite systems ever along with the NES, SNES, PS1 and PS2.
I think adults of the 80s and 90s would say it was already corporate, but I agree. I can't be sure if it was more because we were kids, but Christmas felt more "everywhere" in the late 80s, early 90s and felt more special.
@@troy2000me I miss getting that “Christmas spirit” and being so in the moment because you don’t want it to end. All the memories with my brother and sister growing up are so special. Getting older it kind of loses that special feeling especially when you start getting older and it’s just another day
it's like an action figure, right. Many years later it becomes sought after, could be $50 in a collectors market. But then you find out about the gun, the gun the hero is supposed to be holding in the set. Nobody kept the gun, why would anyone. The gun goes for $1000 easy, in a buyer's market. That's what the show transitions are.
Very likely I watched this live back in the day. I almost forgot WKBD50 used to be a FOX station. It turned into a UPN affiliate just a couple of years after this.
There was nothing quite like Fox Kids, even the Disney Afternoon didn't have this same level of cartoonish wackiness. A lot of those shows are impossible to find anymore (I don't think Eke the Cat ever even got a VHS release), but I doubt that they could show up on Disney+ because a lot of them were produced by Warner Bros. Merry Christmas!
I completely agree. Iv'e never seen a physical release of Eke the Cat since DVD. They might have released an episode or two on vhs. I remember getting a Power Rangers VHS around this time and it came with a fold out for Fox Kids merch, I think Eke VHS episodes was on it. I could be wrong though.
DynamoJoe I hate to say this online, but I have Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Darkwing Duck, X-MEN, and Spiderman downloaded. I’m currently paying for Disney+ and Hulu, but these streaming platforms will probably never have all the great and niche cartoon series available. Heck, I even have Beavis and Butthead with the music videos on various VHS tapes that I need to transfer to my PC and those are hard to acquire legally.
Those Amazing Adventures cartoons didn't have FOX syndicated listings where I lived. Also, they aired on both Saturdays and Sundays. Speaking of which, I really liked syndicated cartoons that aired on Sunday. In fact, our WB affiliate played Kids WB on Sunday mornings in the first year. Even after they moved to Saturdays in 1996, WGN still played Kids WB cartoons on Sunday mornings, which I enjoyed, since it meant I could catch a repeat if I missed something on Saturday.
I remember when WGN as a cable channel back in the day and me being from Houston, would see shows that were on both WGN and in Houston, on KHTV (Now KIAH) channel 39. Both were Tribune stations at the time and both were WB affiliates. I remember in the early 1990s they had the "Nintendo Hour" of weekday shows, which were episodes of Super Mario World, Captian N', or Zelda followed by Video Power (the lather I STILL can't find info on to this day on who won that series). Because of that, I was able to watch cartoon shows on other places on Saturday (Fox's lineup was amazing then) and wait until Sunday to see Freakazoid and Earthworm Jim (a VERY funny 'superhero' cartoon block).
When I saw the promo for the movie an American Christmas Carol featuring Henry Winkler as Benedict Slade, I was really really shocked to learn the fact that the Fonz was in this movie. In a sense, he really didn’t look like himself in this classic movie. It is wonderful to have an American version of a classic story from Charles dickens.
As an adult, I realize that kids who don't like vegetables must have grown up with parents who can't cook for shyte. & that boomers who don't like gelatin must have grown up with parents who thought it was okay to put broccoli in lime Jello.
2:26- This Sprinkle Genie kind of looks like they wanted to do a cereal built around the Genie from Aladdin, but Disney wouldn't give them the rights, so they kind of tried to make a knock off.
21:08 gosh I remember that, was that ever *seriously* a thing?! who does that?! but I appreciate all the other ones, and I do remember the 'art' one after not seeing it in over 25 years! of course shout-out to all the usual suspects like the SNES and Genesis ads, and Power Rangers!
I miss going to the silverdome for the monster trucks,took my daughter to the very last monster jam at the dome,now I get to take my son to Ford field for it,it’s still a lot of fun but nowhere near how it used to be
Blast Processing actually did exist in some form on the system, but it was never implemented in the games. So, while it became a marketing slogan, it wasn't actually "made up" ua-cam.com/video/rvvL6S5Buiw/v-deo.html
Whether it existed as a theoretical graphical exploit in the system or not, advertising it as a feature that makes your games faster when no games actually used it is incredibly scummy.
@@80sCommercialVault True, but I was never a fan of the NA Genesis ads anyway, especially when they got more gross and freaky. On the flipside, I love how the UK and Japan marketed the MegaDrive, without the need to be competitive.
It's was Sega's marketing way of saying that the Sega Genesis had a faster processor than Super Nintendo. It was catchier than saying it had a 7.6 MHz processor and SNES only 3.58 MHz.
siendo la única bilingüe aquí, confieso que me gusta ver y escuchar comerciales americanos de esa época, me trae bonitos recuerdos de mi niñez, y de cierta forma bien rara, me relajan jajaja. As it looks i´m the only bilingual here, i confess that i like watching and listening to old 90´s american commercials, it brings me nice memories about my childhood, and in certain weird way it relaxes me hahaha.
You had to mail in a proof of purchase from the Super Set, which was around $150 at the time. I believe this was done so they could sell out their existing stock of the Super Set with Super Mario World. Eventually the pack in game contained Super Mario All Stars + World on a single cart.
X-Men-rumor is the creators are trying to revive this show for Disney + Totally For Kids-John Walsh kind of seemed oddly out of place in the few of these i saw Mcdonalds-why didnt Ronald contact the National Runaway Switchboard.. King Arthur & The KOJ-wouldnt mind seeing this done in live-action Taz-Mania-i actually preferred the SNES version of the game adaptation over the Sega Genisis one Cinnaburst-looks like a sitcom that could after Parker Lewis Can't Lose
I am really surprised that my hometown of Detroit Michigan had a soccer team known as the rockers. I’m just curious on one thing, was it a professional soccer team or something else?
I get kind of tired of answering questions like these but here goes...Some are transfers of VHS tapes that people send to me, but most are DVD recordings/digital files collected through various sources, through both online and physical trades. That's it. The source recording for this is actually *not* in very high quality...it was recorded to DVD at like 320x240 resolution and cleaned up by me with some noise reduction and a gaussian blur to hide some of the compression artifacts.
Yeah, Sunday morning seemed to be the dumping ground for older shows/current ones that were unpopular. I think the only exception to this was Nickelodeon.
I don't want to be a downer but these time are gone forever. Parental groups destroyed Sat morning cartoons because it was promoting toys to kids. I don't see the harm because making up your own adventures and stories promoted creativity. I feel I would not be able to create art if I was born in this age. Instead children are now addicted to cell phones that do not allow room for imagination at all. That's why everything from 80's and 90's get rebooted to death now days. That's why toy store are dead now. That's why we are all watching old commercials now....
@@mida8261 this is wrong. There are societies on earth who havent changed in centuries, and dont want to. Drastic changes and major shifts in society within short timeframes arent inevitable; our society just thinks they are, and therefore accepts constant major change as the status quo. You combine that with a bunch of boogieman about how we need to make more "progress" toward change or whatever other cause celeb the media politicians have stirred people into a frenzy over, and people start to get the impression that constant change is just a natural progression toward "improving"...even though we can clearly see that all these societal changed have not "improved" things at all.
I’m not saying the girl in these doesn’t look like her, but she was around 10-11 years old when these aired and the girl here looks way younger than that to me. I really think it’s another kid, not her.
I thought she looked familiar! Was trying to think where I've seen her before. Pretty sure it's Elisabeth Moss. She started her acting career in the early 90s. If you compare this girl to photos of Elisabeth' s early roles, you definitely tell.
Last time I was my grandma's house (last person in the family that still has cable), not really. Still an orgy of colors, but definitely less "ADHD." I still have yet to know a kid that watches cable TV. If anything, my nephews/nieces and friend's kids look at us weird because we're not fast forwarding commercials or putting an adblock on live TV when we watch football. Live TV seems to become as much of a fossil as 8-tracks were to me when I was a kid.
When you hear Darkwing Duck telling you not to miss the X-Men. Wasn't Dog City the series that inspired the Food Fight movie? My mom hated Animaniacs in a way similar to how modern parents hate Peppa Pig.

Christmas 1993 when I got the Super Nintendo.
So many memories
I get almost choked up every time I hear that FOX Peter Pan theme! I love this era. I remember it like It was yesterday!

I would give N64 a HONORABLE due to killer instinct 2 and Golden Eye alone...
I got a Sega with Eternal champions
Yes I like how they saved the best for last and put the infamous Flintstones Christmas commercial!! I immediately started singing it.
Despite being a kid at the time, Christmas just felt more genuine and holiday oriented, before it became more corporate involved.
Yep
I was born in 92 and holidays were way more themed
Commercials, shows, movies, mals were all in holiday spirit
I was an 89 kid but growing up in the 90’s was so special looking back. I miss this decade the most

I remember that as a kid, I liked Peter Pan & The Pirates way better than the Disney movie. I hope they stream it! Merry Xmas!
