Commercials that aired just before Y2K! 😃😃😃
...but the year 2000 is still the 20th century (the 100 and last year), before the real start of the new millennium in 2001. Plenty of further reading such as Wikipedia or the US Naval Observatory
@@AluminumOxide Y2K stands for Year 2000, so Dave got it right. Now if this video was written as the 21st Century, then you would have been right.
I met my wife in 99 I was 16 ...3 kids later we are married and still together
Even commercials back then were better.
Y2K is when I was brought into the world. Doesn’t feel like 20 years
Me watching tv :”fucking commercials Jesus get on with it”
Me on UA-cam: “oh my god commercial compilation!”
Back when commercials were good well most.
i know lol i love watching old commercials
right
Paying for UA-cam premium to sit and watch commercials lol
Lol I know right as a kid I hated commercials and I was a kid back in 2000 now I'm watching UA-cam to watch all these commercials I didn't pay attention to..... nostalgia
The 90s were my golden years where living carefree was the only option.
Or, you were younger and the economy was good.
Life doesn’t change that much, people change.
I heard someone put it really well, though I'm paraphrasing here: the gen xers didn't were always told that they never knew how good they had it, but 20/20 hindsight, what they needed to know was that it was never going to be that good ever again.
You are correct.
90s were the last great decade
@@dstinnettmusic he said it was MY golden years; not THE golden years. It has nothing to do with the economy or money. When you’re in your teens and early 20s life hits different. You feel like you have nothing but time and you’re not worrying about who you will lose or how things will be in 10 years. It’s cliche but it’s true. Cling to that happiness bc it goes by way too fast
Never wanted to watch commercials when I was 9. Here I am at 30.
There were some commercials I wanted to watch even at that young age.
literally me right now 😩🥺. I could cry just watching these old commercials I hated so much as kid.
Me too? Never thought I'd watch these at 45 let alone watching now at 66...
You.
Me toooooo
Something I onced loathed and avoided is now something I wish I can return to.
That hit hard.
A little too philosophical for me but I understand
Hmmmm.
It's cause we Netflix and streamed for so long, we forgot or didn't know that the show and commercials we the whole package. Now we know.
So stoned i keep thinking im waiting for a show to come back on 😂
Im not stoned but thought the same thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Damn yall so stoned you thought these 20 year old commercials were new? Tf?
Close to winning the internet
Yessssssss
who else is class of 99? Man how did time go by so fast? The early 2000's doesn't seem that long ago.. Man how time flies by.
It only gets faster...
Class of 99 right here. I'm old.
Close but class of 2000
HS class of 99 🙋🏻♂️
My old ass bro is class of 99! I have sweet spot for class of 99 cuz of that reason hope u old ass people doing good.
So few prescription drug and lawyer commercials! What a time to be alive!
Claritin was prescription-only at the time, but I get your point.
Not true - they were pushing Prozac pretty strong in the mid to late 90s
Or progressive insurance. They made sure I'll never use them by shoving all those adds in my face. Fuck Flo.
There were exponentially more lawyer ads back then haha this pack just fluked out, and contained 0.
There were 1400 lawyers with "the hammer" as a nickname ALONE back then haha
Car insurance commercials & Medicare commercials are the worst
I haven't seen these commercials in over 20 years but why does it feel like just yesterday that these were on?! Crazy how time passes by in the blink of an eye.
@Brèagha when I pause and think about how much has come, gone and changed, it does make me sad and long for yesterday.
Especially those Men's Warehouse ones, I feel like those are still on.
I wholeheartedly agree breagea and Bruce Lee - and nothing can be done about it!
Yes.
It's weird how 20 years ago we couldn't wait for these commercials to end, here we are in 2021 watching whole 15 minute montages dedicated to nothing but the commercials
Just shows how bad things have gotten
@@rovhalt6650 well I agree things have gotten pretty bad, and getting worse everyday but I don't think old commercial appreciation is indicative of that, ppl are all just drawn to them now for the nostalgia aspect/feeling of it
Good.
Our awareness of creativity is low
yall are brainwashed
1999-2000 were last couple years when I was happy and still hopeful about life. Now everything sucks and it’s hard to deal with the fact nothing will ever be the same.
I know just how you feel I used to think the times sucked back then the music and pop culture in general but now I realize you don't know what you have until it's gone if I could go back in time I would be the father to my past self to ensure a better future and a better pass
Oh man I'm not the only one! I feel the exact same
Speak for yourself, my life is awesome lol
@@MidnightFireHuntress i think he was
LOL BUDD YOURE THE REASON THE REST OF THE WORLD LAUGHS AT AMERICA !!!!’ THINGS GO A LITTLE BAD AND YOU START CRYING
God I miss these days.... Maybe it was bc I was young and in college, so I'm looking through rose colored lenses but idk, people just seemed more pleasant back then. Everyone wasn't in such a hurry, and the internet was still a tool rather than a way of life.
You're right, no phone zombies
I'm probably a decade younger than you so the 90s were my childhood years, but I also feel this way. I think people were more connected and in touch with each other and it was a lot easier to make friends. Now when you go out, everyone is either staring down at their phones or straight ahead and in a rush somewhere. Society has become a very cold dark place and it's so depressing.
I’m older than all of you. Every decade gets worse. The USA has been in decline in reality since the late 1970s.
Didn’t like it when you were living through it but looking back it doesn’t seem as bad.
I was in my early 30’s, you’re
ALL correct...... Late 80’s
the Internet broke the world ✌🏽
No back then everyone was talking about how they missed the 80’s and talking about how the 90’s sucked
The irony in the nods to The Matrix was strong while watching UA-cam ads just to watch ads on UA-cam. Matrix got us bad bruh.
"I wish these ads would hurry up so I can watch these ads!" Matrix within a Matrix 🤯
Huh.
The good old days when they actually advertise the product they offer instead of some social message
So true. And notice there is a lot of diversity in those ads but they're not rubbing it in anyone's face. I grew up as a black kid in the 90s and I think it's safe to say I was reminded of being black a lot less and treated like an individual a lot more than most kids of the current generation. I was a liberal back then (watching Politically Incorrect on ABC at midnight and voting for Ralph Nader) but now, although my views haven't changed, I'm basically considered right-wing by everybody now. We have truly evolved backwards.
I’m tired of seeing colors in my commercials.
Good take. I also remember Fox made a bunch of "black" shows and we all enjoyed it...now we can't have black shows and white shows ...it HAS to be a mixed bag and it feels forced and now nobody is happy!
@@IamReallySanta it feels so forced
Yes.
I prefer the 70’s and 80’s commercials and often consider 1999 too recent but then I realize it’s 22 years ago and someone born then is old enough to drink now. Man I feel old!
@UA-cam Is A Punk Same. I'm a grandfather and got carded for buying a ticket to see the new Mortal Kombat. Edited to add: I'm only 40..
Wow.
We had no idea how well that Y2K Prepper ad with the toilet paper would age 21 years later...
Your devotion to this endeavor reminds me of a w. Faulkner quote: the past is never dead; it's not even past." Your fans remember this like it was yesterday. Be safe, thanks!
All that’s missing is a Miss Cleo commercial.
Call Me NOW! 🤣😂
Always hated those phonies, but particularly that one
That woman.
Yahoo was the bomb back then!!!
Ahem, don’t you mean yahooooooooooo?
Still my home page lol
So was hot mail
@@morganophelia5963 I was not talking about just email services, but the website, and everything surrounding It like Yahoo search, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Chat, Yahoo Answers, etc.. MSN did not hold a candle to how big Yahoo was back then even with MSN having it's own dial-up ISP, and messenger far as the traffic of users went. Even Lycos was bigger for a brief time far as traffic to the website, and chat services went(I would know I worked for Lycos as a chat SOS mod for about 2 years before they shut down).
@@CommodoreFan64 I know. I was just sayin... It just seemed like everyone had a hotmail email address back then too
If you compare these to commercials from 1993 and 2003, this feels a lot more like 2003. I feel like 1998 to 2004 were very similar all around. Early 90s and late 90s are very different from each other, but I guess that goes for every decade.
You are correct, 1998 to 2004 are similar. I divide up the years into 5 year "eras", but I do it more like this: 1998 to 2002 is it's own era, 1993 to 1997 are "the 90s", 2003 to 2007 are " the 2000s", 1988 to 1992 is it's own era. Because a commercial from 1999 (the hair styles, narration, camera work, etc) will look like a commercial from 2002, but not like a commercial from 1992. Or something like that.
@@Theonetruewonderfly which era do you consider we’re currently in right now?
@@omb3d80 The border decade years of 2018 to 2022, which is turning out to be a pretty crappy time period. I'm hoping the 2020's (from 2023 to 2027) are better.
@@Theonetruewonderfly funny I think we’re in somewhat of a cultural renaissance; the early 2010s were apolitical times of mostly middlebrow artistry. 2016 was a cultural inflection point we’re still riding off of imo
@@omb3d80 the era of coronavirus started in 2020 till this shit dissapears.
It feels so different now because the year 2000 entered full simulation. The old world ended and a new programme booted up.
Please....2000 was a Dream compared to when we hit 2020. Even the early 2000’s were hugely better than this current crazy-train
@@deniseherud i feel like the first “wound” to happy living was in 2008. for the first time in a long time politics was again a sense of division - some americans being hopeful about the first black president, some americans being repulsed by the idea, some not having an opinion therefore not voting at all. the recession. i was born in the late nineties but still feel like i was a part of the nineties kid generation because i feel like that generation’s carefree attitude and general positivity about life was still alive and well until 2008. it just got worse from there. and now here we are in 2021 ...
I think it was fully switched in 2012
But then 9/11 happened and it was Downhill from there..
@@lorenzoaramirez3915 It was downhill on metal roller skates wearing gasoline underwear.
It's so hard to explain how DIFFRENT things were in the 90s. It wasn't anything quantifiable. You had to FEEL the diffrence to understand and it's impossible today because of how much people changed both in interaction and in spirit.
Other than technology improvements, everything else fucking sucks now. Let me take UA-cam, my smart phone, my dog, my son, and unlimited WiFi back to 1999 and I'd go.
@@robloxvids2233 for sure. I lived it the whole way through and would trade ten of my remaining years to get that decade back. But, got to make the best of these times I suppose.
@@robloxvids2233 if you had the youtube and wifi back then you wouldn't be living in the moment. that's why people were different and everything felt different. we were of the world then instead of pulled out of it and isolated in these echo chamber cocoons.
Nice.
YES, I agree it is a FEELING. People wanted to hang out, for some reason they just rather do something called a snap chat? My step kid lives on a tiktok (whatever that means) I had to make her make plans with her school friends to get the heck out of the apartment to get some sun. I really do not know what is going to be nostalgic to her generation when they are 35-40+ years old. Musicly, post 2007-Disney, and vines I guess cauuuuuuuse.. 🤔🥱
"New York City has fallen to terrorists" aw man that sounds like an implausibly fun plot for a dumb action movie.
The avengers is the same thing
2 years later it did
predictive programming for 2001 or remembering 1994
True lies was predictive programing for 9/11. The terrorist spoke the exact line Bin Laden spoke. You kill our women. You kill our children.
Hmmmm.
Forgot about Entrapment, great flick!
R.I.P. Sean Connery 🙏
I was 18 at the time and never forgot about that scene with CZJ crawling under the lasers. Good lord.
@@gsmack81 fo sho 😲😏
I went to the movie theatre for my 13th bday and thats what we watched.
Sean connery is dead? OMG I didn't know
I wish they had Zeta-Jones and Connery use their real voices instead of those American accents
I remember those cool commercials, especially the last one "The Men's Warehouse" with that deep voice saying "you are going to like the way you look, I guarantee it."
I was 14 in 99 I'm now 35 life was so much better then, i actually got excited about things, the music was great, the movies were incredible, i had a PlayStation times were good
Bills and responsibilities does take a lot of joy
away.
@@theblackknight9783 ill bet being 35 in 1999 would be better than being 35 in 2021. No cancel culture sjws. No stupid lockdowns, masks, etc. Less inflation
@@jessesdomain444 oh come off it.. Life is less fun the older we get.. It doesn't matter what century that occurs. Remember censorship was a big thing back in the 90s as mom's back then were trying to get everything pulled.. Music, violence on cartoons/tv/movies... Games...and comics.. Right now your complaint is that we are no longer the target audience and so we don't have the companies ears like we once did. It isn't that big of a deal.
@@hadriangonzalez607 if you say so man. My point still stands
@@jessesdomain444 your point has rose tinted nostalgia goggles on. Inflation was a thing even back then as the US economy was still partially reeling from the recessions of the 80s. Of course the budget was better balanced back then thanks to the administration of the time. It also helped that we were not in a quagmire of a conflict back then. I was a kid back then and that era will always hold a special place in my mind, but even I remember all the censorship of the time.. how violent video games/music were to blame for postal incidents.. we are living in the golden age of acceptance.. no longer do people have to give their inner geek. I can't tell you how many comic book shirts I had that I didn't wear in middle school, or how anime was a niche thing back then now it's accepted as a valid form of media that even adults can enjoy.
20 years ago now. That's the difference between the 1940s and 1960s. The 1980s and the 2000s. Completely different worlds.
I miss rock centric culture.
Like, that yahoo commercial towards the beginning wanted to market towards young hip people, so it showed some punks. Now it would be zoomers with man buns, athleasure style, and listening to pop music.
Also, this isn’t a boomer post, pop music isn’t inherently worse than rock music, music is music, I’m just nostalgic is all.
They pack everything with hip hop these days.
“Zoomers with man buns” somebody is lumping anyone under 40 into the same category
@@brennicolas3093 zoomies and millies with man buns.

Then: "I know most of my customers by name."
Now: "Check you own self out."
I don’t think I’ve talked to an employee at Home Depot more than a couple of times in my adult life. Maybe it’s where I live but they’re less personable than Walmart nowadays
I know customers names. Well, the few that i’m buddies with.
I hate when random customers call you by your name. Nah, thats not the purpose of the name tag. The purpose of it is to report my ass properly when I act up.
I've worked at Home Depot and most of the employees are a whole lot more friendlier than Walmart employees. I never worked at a Walmart and swear I never will.
True.
We were scared that Y2K was gonna be the end of the world, well we were right from 2000 and beyond the world did end...
I wonder if any of those stockpiles of toilet paper from Y2K came in handy during the first few months of Covid?
I guess the world ended if you're a snowflake and let it end. Live in reality mate
The 2001 conspiracy that destroyed the WTC towers ushered in the NWO and now Covid is further tightening the dystopia.

Why wasnt
I was hoping it would end the world I even made popcorn
Nope 🙅🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻.
I don’t know why I’m so obsessed with the 90s and early 2000s, guess it was the movies I watched as a kid and teen
@No One Actually we will
Maybe because it was a “simpler” time. There was a lot of hope when it came to the future and technology. There was more of a balance of a virtual life and social life. I miss friends and meeting cool new people. I miss going to book stores, buying music and movies. I remember talking to strangers in a shop about something we had in common. Don’t get me wrong I love being able to go online and get almost anything I want with a press of a button, but I do miss the human experience.
yeah no 9/11
@@thelairofblair Yeah you nailed it. The world was a larger place, and you only had tv, radio, cds magazines and movies. The internet was a very young boring novelty. The world was scarier and bigger. I honestly believe the feelings can be recaptured, but we need to learn to disconnect a bit and learn not to consume junk media.
@@olympian3 I've largely lived my life that way, happier and free because of it, but technology really is taking over. It's increasingly hard to do anything nowadays without a some form of social media or tech, it's sad...
Kids who grew up in this decade including 80s - had a really fun childhood years. No tiktoks, youtube or fast internet.
I miss those days and took for granted thinking those times would never end. :(
Although though there were some fun moments to my childhood it’s not like I’m complaining about UA-cam or fast internet now
Go on.
I miss the Men's Wearhouse guy. He had such a great voice
I miss those GAP commercials, they made khakis look good! Can we have more 1999 stuff please? I loved that year, was a software developer and no lie, was getting job offers EVERY day for Y2K conversions! Ah to be thirtysomething again... And see that show thirtysomething again 🙂

Wow.
I miss video stores when on Friday night you'd go with friends or family trying to find the perfect movie for everybody to watch. Taking turns choosing movies "okay this week it's my turn to choose the movie". The same thing happens now with streaming but it's not as fun to me as physically going into the video store to rent.
As I read your comment I can see out my window a family video with garbage bins outside of it and a property for sale sign. It's officially over for video rental stores.
For whatever reason, a movie felt more meaningful or valuable back then. I feel like back then it was because sometimes we had fewer connections to the outside world, so having a new movie every weekend was such a novel, fun thing. At least it was for me as a kid, especially in the summers when I would go on summer vacation to a place which didn't have television or radio, but there were movies for rent.
February 9th 2021... the last time I went into the local video store before it closed for good.
I worked at Blockbuster during that time and we hated most customers! 🤣
@@natejamesr1081 interesting, why? My primary video store was Hollywood Video.

@@DavesArchives me too dave.
I forgot how great the 90's were. How many of you miss them?
Well, we know where old navy got their advertisement ideas.
I surprised how many of these I remember, some vividly. If this was from just before 2000, I would had been 16. Also those Sara Lee cheesecake bites were amazing, and also insanely unhealthy.
I was about 8, still feels like yesterday
Hmmmm.
8:45 that home depot ad was aweful. Music was soo much louder than the lady talking
The 90s was the best!
I would do anything to go back.
Nobody trades a Toyota for a Chevy, even in 1999.
Did not own a tv, so I missed all this advertising tripe.
Stupid always seems to be the prevailing theme, regardless of the decade.
I like the softer color tones they used in a lot of these ads in the late 90s. It all had a very autumnal feel in the advertising and pop culture. Just look at some of these ads and videos like The Verve Pipe Freshmen, Sunny Came Home, Save Tonight, Dunkan Sheik Barely Breathing, Closing Time, and movies like Scream, and others set in college campuses during the fall and shows like Dawson's Creek that had the same pleasing soothing aesthetic.
Great comment compare those tones to the very bright tones of the early 90s.
Aaaaah.
That toilet paper in the bunker commercial hits a little different today.
"Straight is Boring" lmaooooooo
If you’re born anytime between 1986 - 1990 this was our childhood
Fun fact:
Y2K was actually a big deal. It took the concentration and work of thousands of engineers and technicians to upgrade many computer systems to make them Y2K compliant.
Yes but the public paranoia and precautions was just so silly and overinflated
Sure.
Wooow I was 10 years old, this doesn’t seem so long ago but in reality it is. Tanks for reminding me that I’m old now lol...

@@DJWhylafihya But also because so many of them turned out to be monsters inside in reality or people who's lack of a moral compass shocked that, they weren't held up to the same scrutiny as they are now, at least the real creeps aren't getting away with it as much anymore...
How many heroes from this previous two decades ended up utterly disappointing, betraying us in their most coveted of abusive actions?
Wow.
I haven't seen a Men's Warehouse commercial since.........well since now!🤣🤣🤣
you're gonna like watching commercials one day....i guarantee it!
Oh.
Final Prime of Western Civilization. Men were manly and Women were motherly. It was cool to start a family, and employers actually paid their employees a livable wage.
Remember the infamous "Yahoo-ooO" yodel! Those Gap ads made it seem like you were from another planet if you weren't wearing the same pants as everyone else 🕺🏼Ads for hair products blown up larger than lifesize featuring attractive models don't seem to have changed much. The graphic realism in anything using computer-generated animation has greatly improved for depicting imagined environments 🌍 Simply being 3D is no longer the novelty it was at the time.
Man.. Square dancing is weird.

New to me and I love it, thank you Dave!!!! At school this time and broke, non-trad and in my 30's:) Love ya Bro:) Great as always!
Blockbuster was the king of video in the 80’s and 90’s. I remember going to rent videos and games as a teenager and in my 20’s.
This feels like yesterday.
"Do rich people have more friends than the rest of us?" Of course we do... I'm my own best friend.
People attended sporting events in person in the past?!
Its 2021 and this decade sux. I graduated 2003 and early 2000s best era
Yahooooo! The feels right now.
I’d blame Bin Laden, but that’s too simple
This how I know I'm old. When none of this looks old to me. It feels like this should be about five years ago maybe. Especially anything from about 2005 on is almost indistinguishable from stuff now except for things like a phone here and there and video resolution. Revenge of the Sith came out in 2005 and there's not a single thing in that film that looks worse than anything in a film now, special effects-wise. It's insane..
I feel the same way. Even stuff from 2010 doesn't seem that old....until I realize that it was 12 years ago.
Those Yahoo! and GAP commercials were cringeworthy.
The cars in this comercial are so ugly
I didn't know that the Raid Shadow Legends CM was aired before the year 2000
Is it just me or were commercials significantly less obnoxious around this time?
90's energy downgrade, people could sense the aggression in it and it became arbitrary to societies mood, esp post Columbine, they wanted more modest, subtle, less put on and self obvious, I think one of the main drivers of this is people while loving many ads looking back in retrospect that the ads of the earliest eras from 50's were built on a guise of insincerity and manipulation even more so than the 90's ads, people already knowing that realized that the ads of the 90's made themselves self obvious by trying too hard to be sincere and directed, connecting, it became pretentious and pushy by the newer standard, im not saying ads dont do that still just that they've changed in their pitch and tone and are less intended to oversell themselves
Really.
Glad you're doing well, Dave--But more importantly, glad your Power's back on down there.
Me too! Thanks man!
@@DavesArchives you too.
Please can i go baCK TO THE AGE OF 18,(1999) GROWING UP IN nEW oRLEANS. bEAUTIFUL TIME. Get me out of this weird fucking universe that i am living in right now.a bunch of weirdos that might call me a weirdo behind close doors because i dont want to participate in weirdo activity.
Do you.... Yahoo? 🤣 YAHOOOOOOOO! 🎶🎸 And wow, those line dancing babes. And the tooth fairy, were kind of cute. And DAMN! Id like a bite of her cheese cake 😉 Also, Shawn Connery, mustache you a question. Why are you following me? Lmao the lowest prices in town? That's definitely a thing of the past.
Those khakis were of the devil🤦🏼♀️ They forced us to wear them intermittently at work...such...misery☹️ Ugly, boxy and a crotch u could carry groceries in. U go to school all day, have to stick to some dress codes, but mall-work was supposed to be micro minis and belly shirts. Thankfully men were still men and disbanded the Gap-ripoff look pretty quickly. That Blockbuster vid made me lol bc of the fiery meteors...everyone was sure Y2K was gonna be computer mayhem and death by rogue comets😂 (at least I wasn’t gonna die in Gap khakis😂)
Hindsight is 20/20. Things really weren't so great back then either. We thought society was going to collapse with Y2K. Want to watch a new movie at home? Good luck finding it at Blockbuster on a Friday night. You either didn't have a cell phone and were completely out of communication when out (Good luck in an emergency), or you did and paid $50/month just for the ability to only make phone calls on a pretty limited call minutes cell plan. How are you enjoying that 75" crystal clear tv on your wall? Back then, you would have probably had a 35" tube tv at best that was a foot off the ground, weighed 150lbs, with probably no dvr (Or a 20 hr dvr) no link to high speed internet for entertainment, or had a crappy projection set. You like finding out how to do or fix something? There was no UA-cam back then. You would either have had to ask around or hire someone for help. Yes, I get it. You couldn't have known you're missing something that wasn't around. All I'm saying is that it's all relative and there's a whole crop of young people coming up right now who will one day look back and think that this time now was the greatest time ever too and things have gone downhill since.
Forgot Kia has been around for a long time.
And here I am, still driving a '99 Blazer all these years later...
Lol! For me it’s my 98 s10 I bought in 99. 330,000 miles later, I’m finally wanting something new again. I just don’t want it hailed on two months after buying it.
Yes.
i would absolutely time travel back to 1990 and do it all over again
Who cares? The 21st century didn't technically begin until January 1st, 2001.
Who else turned their folks Compaq 2's clock to 11:59pm 12/31/99 to see what would happen?
Wow great compilation! These are so nostalgic and I love them ❤️
Maybe it's cuz I don't watch TV anymore and haven't really since graduating high school, but commercials in this Y2K time (up to the late-2000s) were just special. More real and wholesome to me for some reason.
A simpler time, I miss the 90s
I subscribed because of this video.
I was around 7 years old at the time these aired. Don't remember if I ever saw them then.
Me too, I remember some of them
Oh.
Fun stuff. But lest we romanticize the 90s. Blatant racism, sexism, and homophobia were pretty bad then.
The nostalgia makes me kinda sad...
