And here's the video I'm reacting to: • 90's Commercials Vol. 97

You should do the 1960s. They had cigarette commercials, breakfast cereals bragged about how much sugar they had, great stuff.
At the American History Museum in Washington DC there is a whole section about cigarette ads where they talk about how this is the brand your doctor would recommend that you smoke. I couldn't believe it!
The cereal that's SHOT FROM GUNS!!!
Yes, and the toys have mostly been discontinued due to being safety hazards. 😆
@@themoviedealers Quaker puffed oats and puffed rice. I really believed that was how they made it.
Quazy Quisp!
Anyone else chuckle at the way he said Folger’s? Lol
Foljers!
I absolutely did, I was hoping he'd notice as the commercial progressed.
Or Uncle Booauck.
I was like if he listened for the jingle he'd have heard how to pronounce it.
I was too busy singing their jingle..."the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup!"
That art "school" actually ended operations in 2018. They had a long life, originally starting in 1914 though. I love commercial reactions (one of my favorite streamers actually does a weekly watch-along to 80s ads), so please give us more!
Channel Name?
Yes please do a comparison of American high school and British.
The difference between British and American high schools...in the movies and on television adult actors were frequently used to portray teenagers in the US. I don't know about Britain, but I suspect the comparisons would be somewhat meaningless.
@@tomsmith3941 As an American I can honestly say that the British school system is probably far superior.
Whiteowl ....It looks like a real bottom of the barrel production
Tom Smith they’re actually quite different and more difficult generally speaking. We don’t catch up in America until after our second year in university.
Yes, please! I moved from London to LA when I was fifteen and got to skip my GCSE’s AND do two and a half years of American high school. And it was in the 90s! Honestly it was like I’d died one day and woke up in ‘Clueless’ or Sweet Valley High!
When he said, "Certainly not a performing arts school," that was such a sick burn haha! Lawrence, good sir, you are highly witty indeed!
I never heard of Tatoo Teenagers whatever that was weird.
Tattooed teenage alien fighters from Beverly Hills was referenced in Dragon Ball abridged
I remember watching the pilot episode when i was...maybe 10...ish? As the trailer showed was a cheap power rangers nock-off with tattoo feti...I mean theme. Emphasis on the Cheap. the fight scenes and special effects were so bad they made Power Rangers Season 1 look like it was choreographed by John Woo.
I don't remember it either, but I was a teenager at the time so perhaps a little old for their target audience.
Somehow, I never heard of it either, despite the fact that it ran on NBC from 1994-1995. Oh, wait, _now_ I know why I missed it. I graduated from college in 1992, and stopped watching Saturday morning TV, because so much of it had been taken over by sports and reality shows (and Power Rangers knockoffs). Surprisingly, it got 40 episodes.
Damm I watched tv and and werid so fi fandom stuff. Though most class if Sifi or old who as in Dr who Star Wars movies and of the. Star tracks etc. Weren't werid stuff iam talking kids and teen tv shows on reg tv and cable. And I think I was busy still trying to catch any Saturday morning cartoons I could still on Fox or ABC and and what was upn and the cws first incarnation the WB network. Boy those were the days b4 I could see cable regularly grow up to get and afford it and get to see the cartoon network and Disney xd and Nick toons etc when ever I wanted and could just chill and turn the tv off most of the time. Man the 90s were a trip I was was also 16 at the time and had my first puppy love boyfriend etc. Cute and plantionic. Etc. In 1995 also had other stuff going on and totally missed that show thank the good Lord. Now if I can in burn lots of things I 've seen on the squidbillies on cartoon networks adult swim or that whole series I d be happy. Man Aqua teen hunger force or Aqua teen what ever. Is so much better and love Rick and Morty. Bob's burgers. And a old one from the late 90s on Primetime NBC the oblongs. Funny fact in my home town city in and in NM the whole state proper. We have and had a Bob's burgers and have for decades. Lol
Ok I watch a lot of tv and stuff. But during the covid 19 horrible Ness and quarantine. It was one of the only things that has kept me sane and stay far away from the news. That really scary werid and horror stuff for me
No thank you. I watch you tube viedo s about a farm sanctuary and a new resident 🦃 turkey named Cornholio and laugh and snicker and giggle remember about Beavis and Butt head and my teen age yrs and still friends. Laugh and rember good memories and times. Yep rather be werid like that than watch the news any day of the week yep.
Like to stay informed yes. But not focus all on repeated bad and negative stuff all the time. Laughing is definitely better for everyone's mental health and healthy well being.
Thanks take care all have a good whatever time of day and all postive good things. Bye
I miss John Candy too!! We love him!! A special man!
ChristinaKav50 For real. This has inspired me to watch Canadian Bacon tonight
I watched Cool Runnings the other day. John Candy really had a lot of good movies!
DeathBeforeDecaf he really did. Also Planes strains and Automobiles
@Max Powers And of course, Spaceballs.
I love all his movies... but WHO IS HARRY CRUMB is so funny! Check that one out if you've not seen it yet ;-)
There really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really needs to be a video of you reacting to Schoolhouse Rocks episodes, especially ones like No More Kings and The Shot Heard 'Round the World
And how about one of the most forgotten Schoolhouse Rocks? The Great American Melting Pot.
Also can you react to british 90 commercials? As an American I am highly interested
That Swampbender they didn’t have commercials. Everyone (theoretically) paid a license fee to watch broadcast TV.
@@robnorris4770 That's only for BBC. All the other commercial channels are not funded by license fee.
I'd love to see that
H.M.D., their Christmas commercials are great!!
H.M. D., here’s a few I can remember from the 80s and 90s. I imagine a lot of Brits will remember these ones:

You said 'Die Hard' is the best Christmas film, I said, "Bingo!"
There have to be better 1990s commercials out there somewhere. These aren't very good examples.
he should look for toy adds instead those get really weird.
Not sure if it was 80s, 90s or both but does anyone remember the commercials for My Buddy & Kid Sister?
😁
@@tj_2701 yes. Creepy looking dolls.
@@tj_2701 The inspiration for Chucky.
Mine went in the trash the night I saw Child's Play.
There was this ad for Battle Tanks, a computer game, back in 1999 that had this talking teddy bear being blown up by a tank. Very weird.
Love the idea of the difference between British and American high schools.
uNiFoRmS
@@tompeled6193 Plenty of American school have uniforms tho. The only school I don't wear a uniform for is highschool, but there are tons of highschool with uniforms.
Private american high schools or prep schools
My brain hears the word add:
IT'S A PILLOW IT'S A PET IT'S A PILLOW PET
I saw that advert like this year or last year 🤣
@@janani1826 omg, those things still exist? 😂
I got a turtle one and I loved it
Those Folgers ads were actually groundbreaking "adverts" at the time, Lawrence. They used an entirely new approach to commercial advertising that saved the company. After being locked head-to-head with Maxwell emphasizing taste, they pulled ahead with these "brighter start to the day" ads.
The jingle definitely helps too. Can’t remember anything about Maxwell House but by golly the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup.
@@VidIan262009 The Maxwell House jingle had no lyrics, but it is definitely stuck in my head now.
I hate when they make children into actual humans.
Yeah. I think the 70's would be a much more entertaining reaction video.
Walmart employees with ties and big smiles.
I actually love watching 80's and 90's commercial, very nostalgic of me.
The Sears ad was an attempt to corner the market on female spending that was untapped up to that point, hence "The SOFTER side of Sears". It worked, btw. Also, Folgers is pronounced with a J sound. Foljerz
Yea Sears is thriving today.
@@robertgary3561 None of the big chains are thriving anymore as the market turned to online sales and brick and mortar businesses suffered accordingly, not just Sears. Macy's, JC Penny, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Kmart are all either dead or dying and Sars-Cov-2 didn't help. BUT AT THE TIME, the softer side of Sears camaign was a huge boon to the company.
@@TheOneTonHammer Do you remember Cordy telling Willow her outfit showed that she knew the softer side of Sears in one of the first Buffy eps?
I loved the TV show Silk Stalkings, predictable and cheesy as it was. I had a huge crush on actress Mitzi Kapture.
Alan Rickman was the best part of that awesome Xmas movie, Die Hard. What a treasure he was.
I really miss Alan Rickman. the man could have played anything but was best as a villain! That voice!!
megdrive was previously trademarked in North America, hence the name change to Genesis
"Baseball, hotdogs, Apple pie, and Chevrolet!" - A Comercial tune I always get stuck in my head 😂
Celtics haven't lost a game in months.
Well played...
I don't follow basketball, but I bet they have not won a game in months either, right?
"the coffee turns them orange" - literally L'ed OL at that, good one mate :)
I was in grad school during the 90s, so I rarely watched TV. However, I remember Sears from when I was VERY young and it was considered at that time to be a good place for shoes, school clothes--as well as hardware and appliances. It's rather disconcerting to see what it has become. Knight Rider was probably in syndication by the 90s, so that's why you saw the credits.
Ronald Malcolm .....Old Sears was great. You could outfit yourself and an entire home from there. Good stuff too.... I’m still using Kenmore cookware I purchased there 20 years ago. Performs like high-end cookware and still looks like new.
You're probably right about Knight Rider. It just barely missed the "magic number" for syndication (Knight Rider only had 90 episodes; the magic number is 100) but it was so popular that it got picked up for syndication anyway. There _was_ a "Team Knight Rider" in 1997-1998, but it tanked in the ratings so only ran for one season.
Yes. Die Hard IS a Christmas movie!
Yippy ki-yay!
So is Lethal Weapon lol
I've lived in Denver since '83. I remember the cattle call. I watched on DVR and admitted I enjoyed it.
No fair. That art school ad is from the 70s. They just happened to still play it in the 90s.
I could draw Tippy the Turtle as well as anybody, and I never got in. Pitty, that.
Now that would be a good vid. Longest running, unchanged, TV commercials.
@@ClockCutter the Hershey Kiss Christmas bells commercial is one of the longest running ads.
I sent for one of their art tests, and sent it in. They said I did very good, but I was too young.
Omg, I was wondering about that! 😂 I remember as a kid the animal characters on a matchbook. Another longrunning ad from the 70's was the one with the American Indian and pollution. Very moving. 😥
Who remembers John Candy's Camp Candy? I used to love that show.
I remember that one, and it was not bad, I would watch it during the summer months when all the other cartoons where in reruns I had already seen. speaking of remembering NBC cartoons, do you remember the 2 based on ALF, being ALF The Animated Series, and ALF Tales? I use to love those growing up.
@@CommodoreFan64 I remember it used to come on early in the morning. Around 6:00 or 7:00 in the morning.
I remember the john candy movie "Cool Runnings".
The last film he was in, Canadian Bacon, was written and directed by Michael Moore.
It's actually a pretty funny movie.
I totally forgot until you mentioned it! That cartoon was great!
My favorite John Candy movie is Who is Harry Crumb
John Candy, he was one of the greats.
This was a fun video! I'd love to watch your reactions to American commercials from the decade of my childhood: the 1970's.
These tv shows for USA were all filmed in San Diego.
Yep, and with a fairly low budget lol!
Great video. I really enjoyed your commentary and the commercials really brought back some nostalgic memories
LoL! So glad I found this channel! Your facial expressions combined with your dry humor have me in stitches.
Your reaction to the Folger's coffee commercial made me want one, too. So I went and fixed myself a cup -- not Folgers, but it's the COFFEE that counts, right?
There are lots of times I see ads for baking something from a mix or premade dough and go and bake the item from scratch.
It's too bad you missed the 1970s "Where's the beef?" commercial. That was iconic. And the 1960s had all sorts of war toy commercials. It was grand. Vietnam not so much.
The first "Where's the Beef" ad was in 1984.
@@JakeLovesSteak was just about to say this. Reagan quoted it in the 84 debate vs Mondale.
@@JakeLovesSteak Thanks. When you get my age it all seems to get blurry.
I think the big ads in the 70s were alka seltzer. Plop, plop, fizz fizz? I can't believe I ate the whole thing. My mother was telling me they were funny when I was discharged from the Army.....
@@rhiahlMT the giant advertisers from the 70s that weren't allowed to advertise in the 80s were all tobacco and alcohol. "Great taste! Less filling!" And "you've come a long way, baby!"
I remember silk stalkings. With Rob Estes and Mitzi Kapture. It debuted I day after my 12th birthday. Lol good thing my dad didn't ask what I was watching in my room at night.
The legal one probably didn't have voices at the time because it was considered really tacky to advertise legal practices but add voice it was extra tacky. There's a Better Call Saul episode where they bring it up.
I think there wasn't a voice over because At the end it said actions speak louder than words
Personal injury lawyers don't rise to that level of shame. Once the Supreme Court opened up the floodgates in the late 1970s, lawyer commercials were everywhere.
I didn't watch much 90s TV . I love the 70s. Cool music, cool cars, cool TV shows, cool commercials.
I like how you comment that the law firm couldn't hire an actor when their tagline just read "Actions speak louder than words"
like your voice soo much and this was just lil tidbits of your thoughts.
Your new space looks great. Can't wait for the next vlog.
I feel like I'm watching commercials on one of those stations that didn't run a real network. Those ads never ended, and neither do these.
USA was essentially the cable version of that back in the 90s. That’s why the end credits of Knight Rider showed up in that complication-they were showing 10-year old reruns.
Love your videos hun, thanks for being on during quarantine!
Squanto actually was kidnapped and taken to England as a slave. Interesting story . I remember watching the movie with my parents .
Where he learned how to speak English. When he made it back to the America's he was providentially there to help the Pilgrims communicate with the Iocal Indian tribes.
I could watch you react to any decade of commercial for hours, this was so entertaining and fun...and nostalgic holy cow.
Awww man. Squanto. I remember that movie. He's shipped off to England but escapes and some monks nurse him back to health and get him on a ship back to America. Man, I just got punched with nostalgia.
Now do 70's and 80's commercials... There are some great/bad ones
WHERES THE BEEF!
Bud-wise-errr
The Atari 5200 Joust commercial will be mandatory in such a compilation.
Coca Cola Teach the world to sing!
Love your videos thanks😊
Folgers is “mountain grown”
Isn’t all coffee grown on mountains?
yes, or supposedly.
It's toasted.
ua-cam.com/video/QKcneQ6N50Q/v-deo.html
No, but coffees grown at higher elevations tend to be of much better quality. I'll let you decide if Folgers is actually finding these better coffees... Mountain-grown here is just a marketing term. Probably akin to cage-free eggs or all-natural.
That commercial was on the USA network. They showed syndicated shows like Knight Rider (which originally was on NBC - a broadcast channel not cable - in the 80s on Friday nights at 9pm) on a regular basis usually daily Mon-Fri (the first run of shows were done on non-cable channels.) Weekends were for Movies and/or Sports.
I still miss John Candy he was brilliant.
Also try looking at 90's toy commercials
@Roof Korean 🤣
That was fun!
React to more commercials, please.
Thank you for sharing✌💛☺
This is amazing! I tip my hat to your creativity sir!
Art Instruction Schools closed in 2018. Charles Schulz (Peanuts) took the course and later became an instructor for them. Another instructor for them was Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Hi & Lois). I checked Wikipedia because my first thought was of the Charles Schulz connection. Some of their old print advertising is pictured in the Wikipedia entry.
You know Monday Night Raw is still on. I just had it on my tv for three hours. It’s the longest running episodic television show in history.
Dr. Who has been running longer than that.
@@alanlee1355 Apparently not, because they advertise it as the longest running episodic television show. Dr Who had a huge gap from 89-05. They only have 861 episodes. Raw has been on continuously since 1993 and has 1341 episodes.
I'd like to see television commercials from the '60s.
I watch your videos then watch more of your videos and the content is funny enough to go back and watch the episode o already watched and watch them again and repeat. Being from the midwest alot of your content hits home with me. Thx 4 ur hard work
This makes me so nostalgic.
The guy in the Folger's ad was William Miller, the running mate of Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential election.
One of the best 90s commercials was the Taco Bell commercial promoting the rerelease of 'Godzilla". In it , the Taco🔔 chihuahua cones into the scene saying "come lizard lizard lizard🦎" and Godzilla's shadow is seen. My mom thought Godzilla was cute.
The chihuahua has a box trap with a stick, and I think the commercial shows Godzilla's foot, and the dog says: "I think I need a bigger box."
John candy is a god damn treasure
He was so talented and such a kind sweet man.
Trains Planes and Automobiles was the best. One of my favorite movies.
I lost it when he said "like that other guy in Wham!". It was the delivery that got me. Sublime.
The 90s was the best! Thanks for the trip down memory lane
I love the amazement "LOOK" on your face as each commercial comes on! You are a hoot!
Oh...Squanto was made like in 1993 I think and it was filmed in Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia with a lot of British actors.
"Sir George's" mole on his face would change positions throughout the film. You should see it! I have it on DVD :)
OMG the mole!!! I can’t believe someone else noticed that!!! I saw it when I was about 14 and noticed that but I thought all these years that I had just concocted that in my mind! Wow!
YES!! Oh man this is gonna be a walk down memory lane for me and I’m excited to hear your take on our goofy ass adverts over here.
"Like the other guy in WHAM".......
You can't describe dropping off of the face of the Earth better than that.
Columbus: "I'm going to sail west to find the new world!"
Nay-Sayers: " Don't do it! You'll end up like the other guy in WHAM!"
Sorry, the greatest Christmas Movie of all time is "A Christmas Story". "You'll shoot your eye out!"
No Bad Santa is!!
I absolutely love "A Christmas Story". We have a full sized leg lamp and a mini-dachshund named Ralphie Parker. Best Christmas movie ever!
It was ok.
Home alone and gremlins are both better
a christmas story is wildly overrated.
Very funny, I can appreciate this sort of humor. Overall brought back a lot of memories of childhood in the 90s.
Wow serious memories there. Def do a ‘70’s ‘80’s commercial vid sometime!
Die Hard is definitely a Christmas film.
Those tattooed teenagers are a combo of Captain planet and power rangers. Such a great walk down memory lane. The 1990's when Olive Garden food tasted good and didn't break the bank.
I've got to say, this is more enjoyable than the top # lists. You should make another one of these that goes for an hour.
Everyone still misses John Candy. If you don't miss John Candy, you don't know who he is.
Yessss totally do more and other decades!
Not sure if it was 80s, 90s or both but does anyone remember the commercials for My Buddy & Kid Sister?
😁
Yep I do! I think I did end up getting a my kid sister... either that or I got a knock off lol
I still remember crystal clearly where I was and what I was doing when I heard John Candy died... I was 13.
Hi there! Hey when you're doing another one of those comparing U.S. to Britain videos and to compare customer service. I had an extraordinarily bad experience at the Manchester airport which almost caused me to miss my plane. A cousin even told me that there is an Enterprise car rental ad that says they have "American Customer Service"
Interesting! I’d love to hear his thoughts on this too
It is a beautiful Saturday morning in July, 2020. I am watching a UA-cam video of a Brit watching 25 year-old American TV commercials.
I need to reevaluate my life.
If I can’t find something that I can stream on UA-cam or Netflix, This is my entertainment.
I'd like to see you watch American commercials from the 80s!
I have a friend who was in Die Hard, and he says that ABSOLUTELY it's a Christmas movie.
The 1990s- start of the bonkers Jack in the Box commercials, pure advertisement brilliance. My favorite:
Scene: Jack sitting with a high school peer group. Jack acts as a positive counselor.
Teenage girl asks innocently, “Jack... how do you know if you’re a lesbian?”
Jack: Uhh... (turns to his left) Do you have a question? (Teen boy shrugs, Jack turns to his right) Do _you_ have a question?! (The other kid shakes his head no) I know... let’s talk about burgers! (Voice over for the meal special) And that’s what I’m talking about!
Innocent girl: “Thanks. (Pure smile) That helps!”
Do more of these please!!
Silk Stalkings was actually a pretty good show. I used to watch it when I was in High School / College.
How could you not click on that wondered British face. 10/10 thumbnail xD
Those are new to me too because I stop watching television by the late 80's
I'd love to see reactions from commercials from every decade.
I would LOVE to see your reaction to 50s & 60s commercials, especially the toys and such that were aimed at kids.
When the John Candy commercial came up I literally made the exact same noise as him at the exact same time
My favorite law firm ad was for the law firm "Biddle, Diddle and Boff." Best Christmas moves: Die Hard and Scrooged.
That was awesome. Please react to some mid to late 80s commercials. Those would represent my elementary school years.
Haha the unforgettable music from the art school commercial 🎶 Actually, my husband and I spent a whole evening recently watching commercials from the 80s and 90s on UA-cam...
Art Instruction Schools is sadly--WAS in downtown Minneapolis, Lawrence. I wouldn't bother ringing them now.
my memories... "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles onions, on a sesame seed bug." Insidious mind control. :P
The Aaron Burr "Got Milk" one is one of the best, you need to look that one up.
The best Christmas film is Muppet's Christmas Carol, you can't change my mind.
Wow! Look at the the price of gas back then! 4:43 I wanna go back to the 90s lol
Honestly? I didn't think this would be good. ..but it was hysterical!!!!!
I fucking loved VR Troopers. “We are VR Troopers extreme (yeah) virtual reality”
Have to agree with you on The Santa Clause. I have a ton of nostalgia for it--it came out when I was 5 and became my favorite Christmas movie as a kid. But when I watch it as an adult, it just doesn't hold up anymore. I still like it (probably mostly because of how much I liked it as a kid), but it just isn't what I thought it was.
