A new fragrance by Oddity Archive
Available at Caldor and other forgotten retailers
Available at Caldor, K-Mart, Sears, Ames and Alexander's
Absolution, the new song by Gary Numan.
@@kitsunegiblaze8022Only available at Ames and Zayre’s.
VCR repair. Now that's a great field of work. Heard 2 guys in Milwaukee make a killing off their VCR Repair business.
Yep. Mike and Jay were ICS graduates...
And they're lightning fast too!
I'll call them tomorrow. My VCR is busted, and I've got a Night Court tape that I'd really like to watch.
@@dc9662 It might be cheaper to buy the entire series of Night Court on Blu-Ray...LOL...Just ask Mr. Plinkett...
I recognized that reference and I clapped!
Aussie here:
1) Franco Cozzo only advertised in Melbourne... (and played ad-nauseam), but ended up being known nationwide after comedy TV shows (e.g. "Hey Hey Its Saturday", a national, now very dated, institution), used the soundbyte continually (as a cheap Italian racial stereotype). Melbourne has a strong Italian community. To this day, many people will still pronounce the suburb "Footscray" as "FOOT-AS-GRAY" in a dodgy racist Italian accent, because of this ad.
2) I'd never heard to Toytown before, even though I'm a geek for weird stuff on Australian TV. Apparently it was located somewhere North of Adelaide (Capital of South Australia, Australia's most boring capital city). I don't know anyone from Adelaide I can confirm the notability of this ad with. Everyone who I've met from Adelaide has a boring Rod/Todd Flanders sort of vibe. They're the sort of people who still think that digital watches are a pretty neat idea. Almost no COVID there... because nobody visits Adelaide, because it's so boring. If I ever end up in Adelaide, it's probably because I messed my life up pretty badly. E.g. I'm trying to get off heroin.
3) Like the UK, We also had an Australian version of the "Chicken Tonight" ads. They were also overplayed here.
I'm from Adelaide. I can confirm that the Toytown ad was played a LOT during the mid-late '80s, especially during C'Mon Kids (the most unfortunately named kids show of all time).
That said, we've had several other overplayed commercials over the years. If Ben ever decided to make an Archive dedicated to pitchmen, they'd be a great fit for such an episode.
The RackaRacka twins are from Adelaide iirc and they make some of the craziest content evrr
5:28 I interviewed actor Michael Vale once, and he said that his agent had told him that the role of "Fred the Baker" had already been cast, but to go to the audition anyway in case they needed Vale as an extra. The other guy never showed, and Vale got the part. "Making the donuts put three kids through college," he told me.
Another fine episode Ben and thanks for the nod towards us Brits.
The singer in the R.White's ad is Elvis Costello's dad and Elvis himself sung on backing vocals.
Before Amazon came out with the Echo and yelling at Alexa…..there was THE CLAPPER!
At least The Clapper didn't eavesdrop on all your conversations for the purposes of data mining, so that's something.
"At ICS more than 10 million men and women have prepared for new careers without setting foot in a classroom..."
"And yet they still build a school anyway."
I've seen so many of these remote learning schools commercial back in the day it never dawned on me how obnoxious it was that they showed a physical school. Got a good chuckle at this part.
Oh boy, there were several overplayed commercials that I had to endure back in the day, including:
The Sears Air Conditioning commercial
The Muzzy commercial
The Shirley Temple boxset commercial
The Zoobooks commercial
All those are classics... along that time period it reminds me of the late night "Cool Rock" and "Ultimate Lovesongs Collection" CD commercials.
I remember the muzzy commercials the animated shorts are brilliant but yeah the commercials are definitely overplayed
I also remember zoo books as well
Don't forget the SunSetter ad
"LIONEL COIN BANK! LIONEL COIN BANK! SAVE YOUR MONEY! SAVE YOUR MONEY!" They say if you sit in silence you can still hear that in the back of your mind to this very day.
@@squirrelguy2195 As a railfan, I apologize for any lasting damage the Lionel Coin Bank ad has caused
Randy Savage has been and will always be a treasure.
Great Stuff.
Dang right, watched a lot of wrestling growing up(still do), so Slim Jims, and Mello Yello were my jams as a kid. 👍
KUPPA-KAWFEE
INTHE-BIGTIME!
I heard that Stephen got fired from being a Dell spokesperson for spoking weed. Dell said they couldn't have any of their employees doing Gateway drugs.
13:30 I saw those commercials a million times as a kid, and I never noticed that the Chia and Clapper boxes look exactly the same. Turns out the same company invented both of them! Kinda mind-boggling that a company found success off of those two products
I think I suggested the Shirley Temple DVD collection commercial. "animal crackers in my soup!!".
It used to play ad nauseam on cartoon Network back in the day
Don't forget the Gerber Grow-Up Plan ad that played ad nauseum on the kids networks
@@brianhebert6152 that and the Chocolate Factory one
Thanks for featuring one of my favorite commercials--the "Mama Mia, that's-a some spicy meatball!" Alka-Seltzer commercial. For awhile in the 60s and 70s, Alka-Seltzer made great commercials, including the Prison Mess Hall Riot, Try It You'll Like It, and I Can't Believe I Ate the Whole Thing. Of course, my all-time favorite commercial ever is the Nesbitt's Orange Soda psychedelic commercial from the early 70s. Have you seen it, Ben? It's on UA-cam. Try it, you'll like it! All right, let's break for lunch.
As a Brit, I can confirm R Whites is the sort of lemonade you get in the pub. In the UK, lemonade is a sickly sweet synthetic carbonated water with a vaguely lemon flavour. Usually you don't buy branded because it's all bottled from the same pump, but RW is something you get when you go out to create the illusion you're not drinking syrupy goo.
Bodyform is another one that was definitely not a troll. The ones that drilled into my brain were the ones that were played over and over on TV-am in 1990, which were much too obscure for this kind of video.
as a person that has a deep appreciation of commercials from the past, thanks for this! always fun to re-visit these commecials
I remember David Spade's commentary on the Encyclopedia Britannica kid: "Now, this kid needs a serious beating..." LOL!
Those old Menards ads really bring me back to when I was a kid before all their ads seemed to include the 11% off everything, and that Empire Ad, glad at least one other person remembers the Vampire Carpets.
The Menards jingle is so infuriating. It's worse for me-I've worked for the company for 15 years and hear it at least 5x every day!
Another fine commercial collection! The first time I saw an Empire ad it was for a Halloween sale and he was - a vampire!
The only love we get in the Archive is from the Valentine's VHS Vault we get every year!
Great episode. I remember so many of these and really wish I didn’t. The Dell from 2001 was surmising. I too would have thought it was from before 2000. Of course now we say, “I’m sorry, you got a Dell.”
Or "Dude, you're in for hell!". Either phrase works good.
On the remotely low chance that nobody said it, that R. White's advert featured the vocal talents of Ross McManus and his son Declan. Dec later adopted the name Elvis Costello.
I was wondering if that's why he quoted "No Action"? Otherwise that is a one-in-a-billion coincidence.
I feel like there was a backstory as to why two kids, and Kool-Aid Man, were chasing bank robbers that was left on the cutting room floor somewhere.
Ben, I love you, but you cannot do a Colombian accent without somehow detouring into Russia...and France.
Great episode, Ben!
What can I say? Sergei gets around.
As someone with Colombian heritage, you're...not wrong lol
Ben's mental airplane flew all over Europe and half of South America with that attempt, and I scream laughed like I haven't in weeks!
19:44 - These were sung by Stevie Vann Lange, who was once married to Robert "Mutt" Lange. Later ads would feature the more restrained vocal of Clare Torry - she who sang *The Great Gig in the Sky.*
His wife before he married Shania Twain?
@@brianhebert6152 Correct.
To me Smarties means little chalky fruit flavored discs. The other Smarties are more along the lines of M&Ms.
I brought some back from Canada and my husband described them as "M&Ms, but less so!" 😂
We call those "Rockets" here in Canada.
Smarties pre-date M&M's, and Mars copied Smarties when they made M&M's. I prefer Smarties to plain M&M, but Peanut M&M's blow them both out of the water. There's no need to eat Smarties if you have access to Peanut M&M's.
@@FlopsyHamster Mars did bring out M&Ms in the UK long before they actually introduced the M&Ms themselves, except they were all brown, a bit larger than Smarties (and M&Ms) and called Minstrels, a name that I guess wouldn't have flown in America for historical reasons that didn't really apply in the UK.
You can still get both in the UK, M&Ms and Minstrels.
@@GeoNeilUK Poundland had knockoffs for a bit, there's an Ashens video where he showed off bags of Choccers and Nutters
Thank you for Big Red!! That jingle is top tier.
There aren't any out here, but you're telling me Menard's has never changed their jingle? The only reason I knew they existed was because it was the sponsor for the founder's kid throughout his NASCAR career. They now just sponsor the ARCA Series, and, occasional one-off races for Ryan Blaney.
No "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?!"
Since I grew up in Chicago during the 60's I remembered all these commercials, and just wanted to add rest in peace Ron Popeal, the inventor and creator of all those Ronco items...
I don't chew gum and I hate cinnamon-flavored candy, but I will remember that damn Big Red jingle until the day I die.
"Waaaaaahhh Bodyform!" is indeed a classic. Pretty remarkable that they made a piece of pop culture out of a feminine hygiene product.
I definitely remember those Dell commercials, but if I remember right, I think the “Dude you’re getting a Dell!” guy got in trouble with the law, resulting in the commercials being pulled from the air. That would be why they suddenly disappeared.
I thought a Bluth joke was coming during the Chicken Tonight ad lol
Love the "I'm drinking tonight" though!
I know it's post 2001 but "head on apply directly to the forehead head on apply directly to the forehead head on apply directly to the forehead head on apply directly to the forehead"
Another overplayed advert from the UK was Yellow Pages "Fly Fishing by J. R. Hartley" but I have a feeling that you didn't include it because it was way too charming to actually riff on.
Remember when the Dell dude got arrested in 2003 for weed everyone was all like “Dude you’re Gettin A Cell!”
I thought the encyclopedia kid was from Dell. But that guy, you could tell he'd be on weed. Or something.
This is definitely one of the better episodes of Oddity Archive, but I do feel like there's still room for commercials played during Saturday morning cartoons. You could practically tell time well into the '90s on ABC with the two Tootsie Roll commercials played back to back, for instance.
The commercial-based Archive episodes are some of my favourites.
I reckon that an episode about the greatest pitchmen would be great (Franco Cozzo fits that category).
it's worse today with everyone overplaying Insurance, and Medicare commercials
And don't forget the medication commercials!
them too
Well America is a sick country.
It could be worse... it could be online sports betting ads being overplayed, with the ridiculously quiet and fast-spoken "gambleresponsibly" disclaimer at the end, as it that disclaimer makes the ad any less scummy.
Loved the "Vampire Carpet" reference!
High-five, fellow Svengoolie fan!
aww... if you went into the 2000s abit more I'd recommend the original Education Connection commercial. That song in general is a frickin' earworm.
I keep wondering if Education Connection ads were terrible and amateurish on purpose.
Don't forget about the Free Credit Report ads.
I remember always asking my family to get a Chia Pet when I was a kid. I was easily swayed by advertisements (although there wasn't much else to do in west South Dakota as a kid without a super wealthy family that could afford to go to the Black Hills every weekend or up to Rapid, or even make that 5-6 hour drive for a weekend in Denver, so I watched a lot of TV with my family).
Ah yes, Menards. Never been there, but being a Hoosier, they play their adverts for...... what seems like forever.
Head on
It goes directly on the forehead.
Fred from Dunkin Donuts also played Sam Breakstone of Breakstone's Cottage Cheese. Then he got an exclusive contract for DD so Breakstone hired a look-similar to play Mr. Breakstone.
22:21 Brett Butler once joked that "Obsession is stalking around a married man's house at midnight, with a machete in one hand and a bottle of Vick's VapoRub in the other."
"She inflamed my senses" "I took some Zyrtec" 😂
7:09- Today, it's 5 sticks for *50 cents.*
It makes me happy you still use the box and roll the intro in the beginning.
That Bugle Boy commercial was the inspiration behind a (kinda funny) Genesis music video
Ah, "I Can't Dance". It seems the first half was spoofing the Bugle Boy ad.
fun fact: Famous Barr was a St. Louis based chain that was bought out by Macy's
I would have said that 1999 Walmart ad “Rollin rollin rollin keep those prices rollin”
Also after the cutoff date from 2003: “Riblets, riblets, riblets, Applebee’s has Riblets, all that you can eat now RIIIIBLETS”
Or “They’re Crumbelieveible!” From 2006
And the 2003 “do you know the way to use eBay”
Taco Bell Grilled Steak Taco - 2001 “I’m just a man and a guy and a dude and I’m hungrrrrry!”
And the other Walmart ad, set to Catch a Falling Star.
There was also another eBay one set to the tune of My Way.
@@skystarless I also remember the That’s On eBay (That’s Amore) ad from the same time
That fucking walmart ad has lived rent-free in a corner of my brain for literal decades. I cannot get rid of it. I need an exorcist.
@@SarafinaSummers I know when somebody says “Walmart commercial” my head immediately goes to this 25 year old Ad. I guess being at an age where you’re young and impressionable and commercial jingles really have the effect on a person’s mind. I imagine kids who are 9 years old today in 25 years will be singing “Oh Oh Oh OZEMPIC!” to themselves for the rest of their lives.
22:55 - "Mom...do you douche?"
"Well, if I didn't, there'd be a bunch of pelicans following us right now, wouldn't there?"
0:35 "Here comes Kool-aid! Here comes Kool-aid!" got me good! 😆
Every brit of a certain age watching this probably just started singing the bodyform song
I went to Ray's Transamerican School of Broadcasting back in 1977. Learned to cue up records and read off of cards and had an astounding broadcasting career....yeah, I sucked on air but still was in it till 1992. 30 grand for that degree back in '77. Or certificate, document, whatever it was.
One two three four five senses working over time.
17:33 Adelaide represent!
(I still hear that jingle as "Toys are f**ked at Toy Town" ... I had a messed up childhood)
This ad is so Australian that the singer has almost the exact same accent as Jeff of The Wiggles!
Limmy (of Limmy's Show) did an amazing remix of the Turkish Delight advert music. Definitely worth listening to.
Oh boy, this caused me to go down the rabbit hole of UK adverts and I of course ended up with Shake 'n' Vac....
The Liberty Mutual ads are the worst these days. Good god!
Especially now that they're using kids. No no no no and hell to the nawo. Leave the mini me's out of your corporate shilling.
22:07 The word mustard comes from the wine must, what was initially used before changing to vinegar
Former Australian here, can testify the Franco Cozzo commercials were iconic on Melbourne TV in the 80s.
23:20 - _Massengill. We got it all wrapped up._
I struggled to get past the Toytown ad......like......what the hell....
Welcome to my childhood.
Is the advert you only ever "heard a snippet of" the Bodyform jingle infamously waking up Mr Bean from his attempt at falling asleep by watching a game of chess on the telly, perchance? 😄
Yup. And, had I been thinking about it, I would've guessed it was just a little gag made up for the episode.
I think we actually got a full glimpse of Ben's face at the beginning of this box segment! What do ya know he actually has a bottom jaw!
I loved the one for Massengil girl: Mom do you douche? Mom: Oh Hell no, I just use you Dads' garden hose!
🤣😂😃
my aunt actually bought a lounge set from franco cozzo's brunswick branch. used to ride a tram past it everyday on the way to and from school. it's actually still operating up to this day.
roof seal and lube mobile were another two that were overplayed on daytime tv here in melbourne
That's firteen firteen firty two!
OK everyone. Time for the Grey Poupon Challenge!
More commercials! Thanks Benny boy.
God, so many of these I do remember man...Though my wife chimed up on the Empire commercial - SHE remembers that one (I don't lol. I don't think they had anything in my area). And the ads with Sally, god, why didn't I think of that! The list of careers are semi-memorized in our subconscious, I swear.
When you had put out the call for ads, I was one of the ones who could only think of non-English stuff at the time, but I assure you, my brain had some OMG moments upon seeing all of these ads (freaking Big Red jingle!!)
I'd swear that one of the careers that Sally listed in early versions of this ad was "Technology".....just...Technology. Does anybody else remember that version or am I dreaming?
If anyone knows how to overplay a commercial, it's your cable feed. Since I've had cable, my service provider has been harassing me with Parillo's Tours of Italy, a stupid Tovala oven that's only good for heating up its own brand of mail order frozen dinners, and adopting a teenager who makes me feel like a freaking senior citizen because it assumes I don't know what a "tag" is.
I Unfortunately also had experiences with overplayed commercials
Some of the worst ones I saw were those clip art animated knee brace commercials lemu emu and Doug (which didn’t irritate me more so left me with the I don’t get it response) I even remember when infomercials like aqua dots were spammed on kids networks like Nickelodeon Cartoon Network and toon Disney
Also resse’s puffs resse’s puffs (not bad by all means but it’s so overplayed)
Oh yeah I also remember those minion esque happy meal box commercials those things are irritating in my opinion
@@jamesborlan2850 I never understood those knee brace "animated" commercials. I understand that they run during daytime television, usually when retired seniors are watching, and they're always made on the cheap anyway due to the services they're offering. What I don't get is who is the animation for? It seems patronizing for the intended demographic, especially since the commercials don't really need a mascot or skits to convey their message. It's like a televised radio ad and doesn't need to be. Meanwhile, the constantly overplayed Human ads at least know how to blend the animated characters into the ad without coming off desperate for attention. They aren't great and often the animation is slight head turns and smiling the exact same way, but they don't look like a Powerpoint presentation.
As for currently, I can't stand the Old Navy "You Ain't Seen Nothing Like This Before" TikTok inspired dancing family ad. Dude, I've SEEN that before. Like 5 times during a show at least, every day.
@@mightyfilm I also Remember those general car insurance commercials with the cgi general
As well as those stupid text random thing to random number to get some stupid gif or something (that’s basically the cellphone equivalent of the nft)
To get old school:
“One Eight Hundred Ninety Four JENNY”
“Salad Shooter helps you every day!”
“Good Taste echoes from the Canyon canyon canyon Corbett Canyon canyon canyon”
“HOooOVER NOBODY DOES IT LIKE YOOOOOU” (I thought the lady was singing Nobody Doesn’t Like You)
“Mentos- The Freshmaker!”
2000s examples I can think of:
"The snack that smiles back - Goldfish!"
"Get connected! For free! With Education Connection!"
I would like to see a salute to the public service announcement's episode.
There’ve been two PSA episodes already.
@@OddityArchive Why has there's never been an episode on close circuit entertainment?
As in surveillance footage?
@@OddityArchive Yes. Because before Pay-Per-View, CCTV showed sporting events that weren't shown on television, and the only way you can see them is if you're at the event where it was located, the movie theater, or watching still photos of it during the news.
How did I know Franco Cozzo would be in there? So many Sydney Road furniture retailers get featured here. Both branches are still in business, and Franco is still alive. His son was busted for importing cocaine
4:24 Oof. I remember this being so catchy that kids used to randomly flap their arms and people knew what they were referencing. Also did you ever see the AFHV parody "Iguana Tonight"?
5:28 This reminds me of when Dunkin' Donuts had a cereal. Yes, the same actor "made the donuts".
6:06 This whole series of commercials just came across to me as programming. But then I was more of a Cheerios or Rice Chex kid.
6:47 I think it's safe to say ALL of Wrigley's gum commercials were earworms. It's a piece of America!
7:54 I'd like to personally thank you for not choosing Plop Plop Fizz Fizz.
9:45 Even Beavis and Butt-head made a reference to this one.
12:35 Well, at least the present-day incarnations got the harmony better. But they're still annoying.
21:41 Oh yeah, we all remember this one... but the one I remember more is two pompous old geezers pulling up to one another and trading jars of Grey Poupon. "Is that a weenie you're putting my Grey Poupon on?" "It's not a weenie! It is a 'frankfurter'! ... And is that baloney you're putting MY Grey Poupon on?!" "It is not 'baloney', it is 'Bologna'!" ... "Weenie." "Baloney."
22:54 ... I have no words.
25:06 The version I remember was apparently the sequel. "I think I made that abundantly clear!"
Knowing that things might actually get worse than Liberty Liberty Liberty when I thought they couldn't possibly get any worse than those "You Can Say No" PSAs is a scary thought indeed.
I have deliberately placed soft things within easy reach to chunk at my tv when annoying commercials come on.
I always wondered how many crank calls was sent to that hotline lol
Oh yes the uk ads were genuine and i remember them growing up in London. Try searching for umbongo, milky way, shake n vac and yellow pages 1980s ads from the uk as well.
Old commercials from the 70’s always look kinda dark..I know vintage video fades and all but commercials like that Alka-Seltzer Italian one gives me creepy, slightly nightmarish vibes
Fun episode, Ben. I kept hoping I'd see one of my channel's clips featured but you had a couple that I've been looking for. Caught the "Donavan" joke in the Encyclopedia spot....nice.
Just in case Donavan Freberg happens onto this video.
19:10 The Canadian commercial is definitely not trolling you. That jingle defined so many kids' childhoods. My American husband has no clue what I'm referencing. :)
Absolutely, and the jingle wad used for 25 years. I would have suggested the "Patrick just bought life insurance" ad for the CanCon component of the video, save it for next time.
Worst thing about the Kool aid ganster ad is that the set is a brick garage because seems it is supposed to match the location of the St Valentines day massacre. Someone did too much homework.
Chia Pets really started to jump the shark when they started making ones out of movie and tv characters. e.g. Star Wars
The one that was really baffling was Chia Elmer Fudd.
I remember seeing those commercials and wondering, "Are chia seeds edible?" Turns out they are.... but they don't taste like anything.
@@KasumiKenshirou There was a Chia Head, I thought it looked like Clinton.
I've got a Chia Obama that I've never opened. I wonder how much it would go for to a collector.
The SNL Obsession ads were awesome.
While it used to be main stream (and yeah I realize they brought it back recently) I still like the old Alka-seltzers plop-plop fizz-fizz commercial, the old Tourister ad with the ape beating the briefcase and the old Noid ads from Domino's. I don't know if you plan on doing a part 2 but if you do might I suggest an old series called Television's greatest commercials which was from the '80s and had a ton of then at the time current and pre-80's ads. Also I know Goodtimes (or it might have been another VHS crap house) released an International Greatest Commercials tape that is worth checking out.
Anyone remember the same commercial being played twice during the same break, that was weird.
During the Bodyform ad I just kept waiting for them to tell me to "just let my Soul Glo"
We had the Chicken Tonight ads here in Australia, albeit with Australian dubbed voices.
The Late Show parody ("Dickhead Tonight") is pure kino.
@@TheKnobCalledTone. lol
@@BeAGoodDoga "Mum, can we have Dickhead Tonight tomorrow?"
@@TheKnobCalledTone. 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh those sally Struthers commercials were sad and funny .
Glad to see our suggestions went to good use.
11:25 the son of Ray Szamada was actually my childhood dentist.
I mean, Ray had titanium teeth, per the Svengoolie parody
When I lived in the UK, we went to the theater to watch Wayne's World and the Grey Poupon gag came on. We were cracking up and it was literally only a few Americans who got the joke because obviously that ad only ran in the US. It was a fantastic memory.
W saw Hamlet later on and it took us like 15 minutes to get used to the very dense accent, and the Americans missed a few jokes.
-Mom can we have Tom Cruise?
-We have Tom Cruise at home
Tom Cruise at home: 28:57
17:31 - Looks like Humphrey B. Bear was on the front of the Toytown building.
"You like SEGMENTS? Snap into an earthworm!!" - on a loop in my head since then
Great video as always
I actually know a few overplayed commercials (well some were overplayed for their time) throughout the years
Those knee brace commercials with clip art animation the cgi general car insurance (which family guy poked fun at) miss Cleo (which I’ve learned thanks to the 1900 episode on this show) lemu emu and Doug that slushy cup informercial fushigi (the magic gravity ball) resse’s puff resse’s puffs peanut butter chocolate flavor etc
*Fushigi
Which in Japanese means 'mystery' but there's clearly none.
@@Mrshoujo thanks
Dang that Franco Cozzo furniture looks super fancy
You were borderline sergei on the colombian coffee one
"Simple!"
"Ton"
Bravo sir, bravo.
Continue: Turkish Delight started of in the theaters across the Uk during the 60’s that many people regarded this one more iconic and had an 15 year airtime on Uk tv during the 80’s and the 90’s and also in 2007 the jingle is iconic and composed by Jeff Wayne sadly not related to John Wayne that’s Jeff composed mainly for stage performances for war of the worlds and for television shows like TV-AM plus many commercials for fry’s Turkish delight and narration by late Antony Valentine the tune itself is inspired by movies like Arabia Knights along other Middle East movies.and I am an hardcore fan of the commercial and the chocolate bar .
I'm all for more commercial anti-nostalgia. Something that always disturbed me was YTers waxing a little too nostalgic about having ad-makers' messages drilled into their skulls.
