This one gave me one of those moments where I completely forgot about having a toy until seeing the commercial. I had that Splat board game and loved it!
I love the commercials for Splat! and Grape Escape. A friend of mine at school and I would constantly do the Splat commercial at lunch time, and my sister and I constantly sang along with the Grape Escape commercial whenever it came on. Interesting trivia, the voice of the Splat! bug is Arnold Stang, best known as the voice of Top Cat, the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee (in the 80's and early 90's), and several others that I can't come up with off the top of my head (these two are what I know him best as).
Oh man, I had completely forgotten about the "Great International Toon In" thing. I remember watching this and Bobcat voicing that character. I think it was live at the time, and the character was being voiced and animated live too. Also, I miss those GI Joe Street Fighter figures. I wish I had gotten them all at the time. This is a line that needs reviving.
CJMendoza804 Yea, it’s currently not bad but not good either. With recent news that Christina Miller is leaving the network, I hope whoever is going to replace her brings some welcome changes. Could be Mike Lazzo, who’s overseeing the Adult Swim division.
I do remember having the entire line of the Street Fighter GI JOE line! There were a few 12 inch versions that they did, I had the one for Ryu many years ago though I don't believe all the characters got one. I think it was Ryu, Guile and one other character?
I think (based on a 1997 recording a year after my parents first got the "big ugly dish" satellite) that "Grinch" was probably remastered in time for the special extended version from around 1994 that included segments hosted by Phil Hartman and interviews with surviving personnel (among them Albert Hague, Chuck Jones, Thurl Ravenscroft and Dr. Seuss' widow, Audrey Geisel). As for the Teddy Ruxpin ad, maybe that year was an attempt to revive interest in the character (didn't know or had forgotten that was still on the market in 1993)

@@80sCommercialVault Makes sense to me, thanks. I have to admit, this was one of 3 videos I spotted the H.H.H'S ad & in SUPERB quality. How did you manage to pull it off?
It From The Pit-wouldve loved to see a horror movie based on this Gi Joe/Street Fighter-interesting how the later animated series that aired on USA was partially inspired by the former Knockout-a.k.a"EXTREME Jenga"..? Crossfire-should tie this in with the competitive FPS online game Crossfire X SWAT Kats-the creators had launched a Kickstarter campaign to revive the show..they never reached the goal :(
It's not a board game ad without the "I WIN!"
Spending my Saturday night watching this going back in time
Hard to believe there are only 5 more volumes until you get to volume 300 of 90s Commercials. Thank you for uploading these.
I forgot how amazing TBS was with its commercials! I owned the majority of the board games shown, especially Knockout.

I remember Splat, my family used to play it
BobCat Goldthwait as the Dog host was great.
I had almost all these board games. lol
Swat Kats is an awesome show!
31. I had this game. Pulling the trigger was a real work out for the forarm!
38. Posing the leg out of the damn toy. Is not a ninja move man!

Nice Board James shout out, I’ve watched every episode at least 5 times! 😂
the distant memory of 'knockout' hit me like a bunch of multicolored plastic bricks
This is really weird for me to say, but I remember the specific smell to those plastic bricks to this very day lol 😅
Moxie Dog. The first Cartoon Network character.
Dude the kid in the stack o saurus video is the odoyle kid in Billy Madison that hits Billy in the face during dodgeball.
Wow, between It From the Pit and The Grape Escape, board games got really dark and violent in the early 90s...
9:49
They launched a new ad for Mall Madness in 1994, a couple years before the remodel in 1996.
So many board games
with boys winning every game that had a girl involved.
Funny that you mention Board James, since it seems like he did almost every game on here (before getting seriously dark!).
At this time, Cartoon Network was only a year old so it was still common to see cartoons on TBS and TNT.
This was a marathon that spanned all three Turner networks: cartoonnetwork.fandom.com/wiki/The_Great_International_Toon-In
Now Cartoon Network is just okay.

@@80sCommercialVault Is something wrong with this video's EMBED code?

two actually. Bison and Blanka also had them.

The Teddy Ruxpin here was a re-release by Hasbro after they acquired the brand in 1991.

This video shows the last scene of the 1990 H.H.H.'s before the 1994 version of their commercial debuted.
