Crazy how we used to hate commercials now we love looking at 30 mins full of them.
For me its because I'm looking at history and how far mankind has come in such little time. Maybe it's the reason most watch old commercials. Its nostalgic as well.
Nostalgia is such a wholesome feeling.
90's SciFi channel truly was awesome, thanks for getting us through hump day once again Dave. 👍
We ate so many of those damn Snackwell's snacks as kids... my mom thought they were "healthy". lol
Late 90s SciFi channel. I miss that. Another great set of commercials. This was my childhood right here. Thanks!
7:14 Use a latex condom? Hey, there's people out there with latex allergies! LOL
16:07 There's that Sears ad that everyone knows about.
that old Sears AC ad is iconic. i remember it very well. seems to embody the 1990s. can't explain why, it just does. plus that commercial features prominently in music critic's Rob Sheffield's memoir LOVE IS A MIXTAPE, a great source of late 1990s pop culture.
The late 90’s good times,bad times,crazy times I am grateful I had them 🙏💯📼📺🧈
I agree. We were fortunate to grow up in this decade. Kids today this generation don't even have a clue of what we experienced growing up in the 90s. This was the pre social media era. TV music everything was great during this time period
13:41 the classic "You're watching the Sci-Fi Channel" bumper that aired throughout the 90's. Arguably the best era of the Sci-Fi channel.
Wow, these classic Sci Fi channel bumpers are so great. Forgot about them!!!
The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup! ☕😝😝😝
The golden age of psychics and collect calls I miss it all!
Don't forget those "late night" date commercial "Are you lonely, call me" LOL
The 900 hundred numbers
The 97 Dodge Viper….arguably the most badass looking car ever made
OMG..The world wide weird... I forgot all about that... Hit me right in the nostalgia!!
Snackwells were my fav as a kid and the commercials, "Hey, Cookie Man!" were hilarious
28:02 The Star Wars "Special Edition" trilogy was released in theaters in January, February and March of 1997 (each film released a different month). It was a treat for those of us who grew up watching the films over and over on VHS tapes in the 80's and early 90's (or who remember seeing the films in theaters in the late 70's/early 80's). The release of these films re-ignited an interest in Star Wars in this time period (building up to the "Prequel" mania of 1999 and 2002), and are a part of why I break off the "late 90's/early 2000's" into it's own mini-time capsule period (separate from the 90's and 2000's).
Maybe it's because I was a young adult in this era, but the late 90's was special. It was the "End of History" time period, where we thought we had achieved world peace with the collapse of the USSR, and with it being the start of Clinton's 2nd term in office (his re-election kind of served as an affirmation of "War is over", there wasn't a need for a Reagan type figure to "stand up" to the USSR, because the USSR was gone. Instead, we could enjoy a President who could play the saxophone on the Arsenio Hall show).
This was also the era of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" on the Sci-Fi Channel (it was on Comedy Central for the early 90's, but the "Sci-FI Channel" version of the show premiered in February 1997). January 1997 is when "King of the Hill" started broadcasting on Fox, and that show proved to be such a commentary on this era of American life (the Simpsons arguably started getting stale in 1997). This was also the era of the "cool and hip horror films", starting with "Scream" in December 1996. It was just a special time period.
The Y2K era an aesthetics were very much their own vibe distinct from the early 90's and post 9/11 era, so you definitely have a point. It was a very positive feeling time with a lot of emphasis on technology and futurism.
I love the 90's! Can't wait for more videos!!
Thanks for bringing back memories!! Great channel!!
Those snickers commercials have never lied lol if ur ever hungry and can't stop to eat anything more substantial that shit will save u
It's the original meal bar.
Encarta on msn just gave me a huge flashback!
Great episode Dave !
I always appreciate a 90’s throwback !
Stay retro Dave!
🎥🎞😎
31 minutes?! Oh yea this is some of that good stuff. Love the long 90s commercials compilation. Appreciate you for these as always Dave. Need to finish up the others you dropped
That sounds like Chris Parnell in the first ad. And MST3K! Keep circulating the tapes!
21:18 I remember being blown away by that Dodge commercial as a kid
You just never disappoints, dave. Thanks!
damn! that was a banger set! THE FORCE WILL BE WITH YOU - ALWAYS! love the late '90s tech ads. some i remember, some i don't. i do recall an actress that did A LOT of commercials in the '90s. don't know her name but she's the single mom with the kid in the home security ad. i miss the old SCI FI Channel. so much good & weird stuff. IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE II? with the lovely Elizabeth Pena? SOLD! & MTK 3000 is my jam! used to watch that show on weekends with my then girlfriend now wife. this is a great set, Dave! gracias!
Real talk, can I still get the Pocket Socket???!?
So great! Thanks for this!
One thing that's really fascinating about watching retro stuff is that you can rarely ever place the time period it came from. Like I might watch a show and think "Hmmm I must have watched that around 1994 or 1995", but when you look at the date, its more around 1998 or 1999.
And certain things feel misplaced in the time scheme of your life. Like I see a LOT of radio shack commercials for cell phones. It took me a minute to confirm it, but I didn't get a cell phone till like 2001/2002 as a sophomore/junior in high school. Just made me wonder how long cell phones were a thing among kids.
Love watching these while I’m taking a shit.
c'mon, man!
I remember a ton of these…this was around the time I started smoking weed, so I did a lot of sitting around watching tv all night
I worked at a Radio Shack as a teen in the late 90's
Nice getting me though the rest of the week with a nice upload
Wow, I remembered my dad getting annoyed about those Star Wars VHS commercials but I never realized why. The VHS wasn't the first home release, the original trilogy came out on LaserDisc in like 89. Remember when you could just tell lies in an ad and nobody could fact check it?
In the late 90s the original trilogy was "updated" visually
3:54 Microsoft makes the internet "Easy"
28:02 The original Trilogy Returns!
I Remember Wrigley's Doublemint Gum And The Commercial
Yoooo, psychics at the Franklin Mills Mall @ 8:25. I cut school in 6th grade to go to the grand opening of that mall. Willard Scott gave me his autograph on the back of a MAC receipt and then I lost it. I remember this commercial.
Wow I never heard of “Wild Palms” , would like to see it
I would love to find the commercial of my husband. Del taco. I believe it was a summer heat wave make a Summer splash. I think it had to do with Pepsi. I used to kiss the TV and tell him I would marry him. It wasn't until we were deep into our courtship he expressed he was in a commercial del taco. I said no way, you're riding behind a Blue dune buggy, blonde hair shaved on one side long on the other. You come around the corner you're on skis and they fake out like you make a summer wave and splash people. He's like oh my God how did you know? I explained to him, my mother had recorded Ghostbusters for me. It was during the summer. And your commercial was on that. For years I used to kiss your face and tell you I would marry you.. haha 😆🤣 and here we are. 22 years later...
I have looked and I have looked and I have looked I can't find it... 😶🌫️
Pardon he was riding not writing. Talk text..
That Sears commercial... Does anyone know how long it ran for? I'd look it up, but I said I'd call now...
That is some wild stuff. Thanks for another awesome video, man!
Thanks to you, Jesse!
@@DavesArchives Gladly!
@@DavesArchives you too Dave.
How anyone could watch the Psychics commercials and think they were legit is a different type of sucker. The "I'll never get AIDS" commercial is a hard left turn I didn't see coming!
@12:00 That wrench is in my toolbox right this minute. At the bottom where it belongs. Worst tool I own lol.
If you use drugs, don't share needles. Love how they don't say to NOT use drugs and instead just do them safely!
i think that PSA was being realistic. can't stop people from doing drugs. but you can urge them to use clean needles & avoid a deadly disease.
@@poetrich good point! Or should I say clean point!
what is it about shit like this that brings people comfort
MST 3000! Woohoo! Around Easter! 😁
Half hours of Late 90s commercials.
Good 🤣🌍🚭😴✅🛑🥺😣😳😲🙂🚫💵💰😂😊.
Damn that first swing at a digital Jabba looked like such a poop log.
Lol
@@DavesArchives nice 👍🙂🚫💵💰😂🤣🌍🚭😴✅🛑🥺😣😳😲😊 Dave .
Why does it seem like society has reached a dead End street,the commercials,the poor Malls,etc
I love these commercials but did anyone call the psychic hot line? 🤨
With every ad, you're just rolling the dice on if it's going to turn out to be an AIDS ad or not. You're enjoying the nostalgia and psychics and cellphones, and then it just comes out of nowhere.
Yikes @ that AIDS psa..
SciFi Channel..nowadays theres hardly ANY scifi on that network
How I remember those dodge commercials,those rules need to change back today
They're essentially the closest things we have for casual time machines giving us glimpses of the past...commercials taking us back to simpler pre-woke times, when the world was normal'ish compared to today. People knew their gender pronoun and there wasn't any overt agendas or messages being pushed. It was mostly boring, but better than the insanity of today's world.
I have so many questions for SnackWells
27:41 Oh wow, there was already talk of sequels back then (not just the prequels). And the idea that the robots would be the only link between the 3 time periods (of the sequels, prequels and "main" Star Wars) was....somewhat abandoned. The prequels came to focus on an origin story for Darth Vader. Instead of 3 different stories, the 9 main films ended up being a story about the Skywalker lineage (and yes, the Sequels messed a lot of stuff up). I do recall Star Wars hype was starting to build back up in early 1997 (thanks to the release of the "Special Edition" films in theaters)!
RETRO COMMERCIALS 494TH VOLUME 6 MORE FROM MY 500TH VOLUME
RETRO COMMERCIALS 494TH VOLUME 6 MORE FROM MY 500TH VOLUME
Yes.
When Microsoft made you call a 1-800 number for internet service 😆
What's that song at the beginning?
Weird, no pharmaceutical commercials ...how do I know I'm depressed???
Mudhoney at 4:20
dodge voice guy does history chan
I wonder if you call these numbers in the commercials, what will you hear on the other end.
Radioshack sold phones? I don't remember that, but I'll bet they were the bad kind of cheap.
7:09 - 7:20 Whoa, that ad took a super abrupt turn I did not see coming, holy shit.
That exact Sears AC ad used to come on all the goddamn time, I got so sick of it.
One thing about The Sci Fi Channel that hasn't changed is that their "original movies" are some trash the vast majority of the time.
Something I've definitely come to learn about the Star Wars "fandom" is that the original trilogy is completely infallible to them, and they'll something to complain about with *anything* that came after.
I actually bought my first two cell phones at Radio Shack, both excellent (for the time) Samsung phones on the (then) reliable Sprint PCS network. I had a SCH-1000 for a couple of years, which was just a very reliable brick of a phone with excellent call clarity (when that was a thing.) Then I got a SCH-3500, a very early "intent phone" with a text-only web browser. I remember feeling like I was totally in the future, taking out my sleek flip phone and getting walking directions standing on Lafayette street in Chinatown, NY, back in like, 2000.
My mom was overweight during the late 90’s and if she drank slim fast she would’ve lost weight that gained from her two pregnancies
The rise of the internet world
