Okay here's a funny story. A few months ago I was up late watching this video and it got to The Arches commercial. I was half asleep considering it was around 3 or 4 in the morning. All of a sudden I'm jolted awake by a super loud "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE." Thinking it was my family. Nope. It was Critic. So thanks Doug for nearly scaring the living shit out of me.
LOL I love the parental permission part... Exactly how it feels to get permission as a kid. Also, shout out to the black kid from the Zelda commercial for having more flow than Shaq.
Hey! The "Spring Bunny" advertisement stole animation from Kimba the White Lion! Don't believe it? Anyone who's seen it will know that the animals at 8:03 are taken DIRECTLY from the 1960s U.S English dub of Kimba the White Lion.
When I was seven, I got one of those "Skip Sticks" as a birthday present from a friend. Because I was such a tomboy, I took it apart and was able to use the main part of it as a staff. I then turned the end pieces into a pair of nun-chucks. Good times. :D
Looking back on these ads, it's interesting how many of them imply that the product will make the owner super popular, or that the product is so much fun that you and your friends will laugh hysterically. Better than drugs! I wonder how many kids found out the products didn't deliver their promises and got their money back.
Basically marketing 101 right there. Create a need and sell a method of accomplishment or sell a lifestyle/image and sell a product that will make you part of that lifestyle. Complete nonsense, but effective.
the guy dressed as Inuyasha at 27:25 (the red dressed guy next to the school girl thats seppouse to be Kagome) litherly just sits there with his mouth open and a smile, he gotta be the only one not laughing his ass off lol
Nope. Right up the middle, in the back, the big guy in the yellow and black letterman jacket. Also, green shirt nerd on the far left. I have too much time on my hands, I know.
+DatBoy SoTalented yeah, joker, Harley, dead shot, el Diablo, Rick flag, batman, captain boomerang, and if you collect them all you can build killer croc.
Critic Fred: I mean seriously Barn, what is about my serial that sets it apart from other serials? Barney: Because it came from your wife's box. Please tell me I'm not the only sucker who laughed hysterically at that joke XD
I love that Nerf Arrow Storm commercial. That kid pretty much embodies the mindset we had as young kids pretending to be the ultimate badasses...playing with a Nerf guns.
The shit we did with Nerf guns as kids, nowadays it would be viewed as unhealthy and warrant a trip to the school shrink to talk about Columbine and how it made us feel inside. I miss when kids could still be kids.
I remembered a friend of mine got every kind of toys ever put on a commercial. Dino riders, Aliens... Hell, he even got the Smooshie fish ! He was my best friend, ah so much souvenirs !
So the man's daughter supposedly bears the cabbage patch kids, which would make the woman on the phone, the man's mother, a great grandmother, but he tells her shes a "grandma".... So that would mean, the girl is not actually the daughter but... and the man is.... oh no....
I think I died when he said "Hey Joey! I got a nintendo entertainment system! Wanna play?" and then "....... THAT ........ MAN, THIS KID HAS BUBBLES! >:O"
Daniel Hunnewell Also "Hi kids! Imma table! Do you wanna hear a exciting table adventure, because y'know. Tables go on a lot of ...... adventures!" HAHAHHAHA XD
Besides, I bet it's rated PG-13. It may as well be. Also, think of movie ratings as game ratings.Even though the Alien movies are recommended for ages 13 & up, the underage can come.
isn't the proper complaint that they got the Alien names wrong like Gorrillas when their called warriors, or that the Queen doesn't fly? I'M AN ALIENS NERD! :D
You gotta give the Barbie car credit, it's not bright ass pink like other cars for girls' toys, it's a red sports car convertible. I would have actually played with my Barbies if I had that.
Because there was a man at the other end of the line touching himself with his pants down whilst the little children spoke to him. If not, then money. Or both.
6:03 Almost right when it started, I was immediately thinking Flashdance, and I was like "I wonder if he's gonna make a Flashdance joke" 6:40 CALLED IT!!
Oh my god, 7:01 Dino Riders were AWESOME, the toys were all amazing, I can tell you why it never caught on though, I remember them being rather large (especially the tyrannosaur) and they were quite expensive at the time. Cool as they were, I'd be willing to bet most parents weren't willing to shell out the money and just had their kids pick something cheaper.
At 16:15 seeing those animal cards makes me wonder something... What if those cards did become popular and everyone started collecting them like baseball cards? Would that mean that a card would be rare if that certain animal became extinct? Kind of like how a baseball card would become rare if that baseball player died. People would be like...I hope this animal dies so I can sell this card at a pawn shop and get money for it. That would be crazy...
I'm surprised no one has re-introduced Dino Riders today. They've succeeded with today's Transformers, Littlest Pet Shop and MLP shows. Who wouldn't want to see a show about aliens taking over the minds of dinosaurs to use them in a war
i would love to be one of the people at the convention stuck in time with this episode. being able to watch this and go "hey i was in the audience" would be amazing =P congratz to everyone in this for being a good sport!

So thanks Doug for nearly scaring the living shit out of me.
Hmm i'm a little bit suspicious
😆
And thus the "fucking bubbles" meme was born.
The Sentient Ditto FUCKING BUBBLES!
Hey Joey I just got a Nintendo entertainment system, fuck that shit that kid has BUBBLES!
Doug didn't even expect it xD
He thought Wunder Boner would be more popular.
I found the wonder boner on amazon,ps. FUCKING BUBBLES
I found the wonder boner on amazon,ps. FUCKING BUBBLES
I wish that they made an adult version of Guess-Who. That'd be so cool to play.
lol I was JUST about to say that.
Well if they could make an adult version of "Apples to Apples" (Cards Against Humanity), then I think that's possible.
My friends and I made our own guess who with random celebrities, memes, and internet stars. Critic is on it.
This is my favorite of the commercials specials. The Pebbles bit alone clinches it.
LOL I love the parental permission part... Exactly how it feels to get permission as a kid.
Also, shout out to the black kid from the Zelda commercial for having more flow than Shaq.
"You are tearing me apart corn pops!"
"you are tearing me apart fun fruit trees!"
10:24 "Okay Barn, you're going down!" "I'M GONNA EAT YOUR WIFE'S BOX!" LOL He just made the ending to that commercial even more hilarious!
The entire Cocoa Pebbles segment in general just feels it could be a sketch on Robot Chicken, IMHO.
***** Really?
+Cymes I saw it, it was funny! crazy robot chicken.
I keep calling (1-900-IM-A-****ING-TABLE) but somebody other than the table answers. I NEED TO HEAR A TABLE STORY.
You are tearing me APART, Fun Fruit trees!
Hey! The "Spring Bunny" advertisement stole animation from Kimba the White Lion! Don't believe it? Anyone who's seen it will know that the animals at 8:03 are taken DIRECTLY from the 1960s U.S English dub of Kimba the White Lion.
DUDE!!! I WONDERED IF ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THAT!!!
Not only that, but why is it "The Spring Bunny" anyway? Is "The Easter Bunny" copyrighted or something?
mysterymares I would hazard it to be the politically correct way of saying "Easter bunny", since not all people celebrate Easter.
YLW Pyro Eh, fair enough.
mysterymares It was cheap
It takes 1,126 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
IMO, this is the funniest Nostalgia Critic video.
I died at the Pulp Fiction reference in Guess Who...
15:50
I would never believe for the love of God that I'd actually enjoy watching ads on UA-cam one day.. I guess that's the magic of NC
Dino-Riders. Before my time, but even as a 20-year-old man, I still want that to be a thing again!
Come with me! I have a Tardis!
+The A-Trane I Never seen the Dino-riders commercial But I still wander how in the living hell that podat never got off the ground
There's a dino riders live action movie coming out in a few years
yeah, how stupid do you think the internet is?
The A-Trane I remember them and I am 21 but maybe because certain toys came to Canada a bit laterbtgan the US
I don't know, the way the owl opens his eyes says to me "Oh for fu-yesssss, kid? What now?"
23:48 I keep hearing "Disguised in his big, bad, fucksuit"
De☠DudeG☠ming your not alone dude your not alone.
De☠DudeG☠ming SAME!!!
DeadDudeGaming Now I can't unhear that XD
I heard it too
DeadDudeGaming .......thanks
'Does he look like a bitch?' 100% unexpected,and i nearly fell off my chair.
15:50
I was lucky enough to have saw one of the "Song of the South" re-releases in theaters as a child and remember it.
I lost it when he started talking about the alien disguises "they don't have any eyes so they'll never be able to spot us" lmao
Me and my Johnson enjoyed this.
My Johnson turned into a Wonder Boner during this
+maximumrisk2004 i wonder how much fear you have put in people with certain pfobias..
+maximumrisk2004 i actualy touched the screen to see if it was real :D thank you for that..
psykopanda11 Quite alot. I am not usually a troll, but I got to admit that this Avatar gives me endless joy.
AHHHHH SPIDER!!!

13:11 - My name is Link y'all, I'm straight outta Hyrule
Been on the force of good since 1986. Old school......
I'm bringin you a laid back summertime jam ~
- xZeroVirus567x - Hey what's up Old Man ~
Oh thanks old man that is really very nice!
I can always count on you for friendly advice ~
Jinhunter Slay Though I've never seen a sword quite the shape or size...
That..was weird!
I'm happy that critic brought up the "Well excuse me princess." thing because I thought I dreamed up the legend of Zelda show
I finally found the Origin to the "Fucking Bubbles"-joke :D
Burger King save the animal cards?
Doesn't seem like they're doing a very good job with "saving the animals."
lol like Burger King uses real meat
HA
+Jack McFord (Jack Bird) dont you mean fucking bubbles!
Irony.
Driscoll17 That commercial was so stupid!!!
THIS KID HAS BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOO, THEY'RE MINE!!!
I had that bubble thing as a kid.(sold by Klutz with a better name.)
The commercial doesn't convey just how freaking awesome it is.
FUCKIN' BUBBLES!!!!
***** And they were amazing.
Had to use Dove soap to make the bubble solution, though.
FUCKING BUBBLES
At least Song of the South got a fun ride.
And sadly been shut down while been replaced with Princess and the Frog which it was really good
Every time I see an owl, I call it "Hoo-Dini". Thank you, Vanoss! Fucking thank you!
hearing the critic's impression of fred is so soothing it's like listing to morgan freeman, I LOVE IT (9:28)
LOL, who else laughed at the "I have permission!" line?
Looking back on these ads, it's interesting how many of them imply that the product will make the owner super popular, or that the product is so much fun that you and your friends will laugh hysterically. Better than drugs!
I wonder how many kids found out the products didn't deliver their promises and got their money back.

Nope.
Right up the middle, in the back, the big guy in the yellow and black letterman jacket. Also, green shirt nerd on the far left.
I have too much time on my hands, I know.
He was too cranky to laugh, lol.
3:36 "Oh you want bubbles Joey? How about we play some Bubble Bobble?"
Joey: Bubbles and NES? Count me in!
My sister actually had one of those barbie car toys. Me and my younger brother used to borrow it off her all the time to play with it.
Johnson boat motors and Wonder Boner fish cleaner. Was there no Master Bait brand of fishing lures?
There is. Master Bait and Tackle. "You cant beat our bait."
ZETA848 *nearly spits out chips* !!! Good crap, are you SERIOUS!? O.o
Quite so. Google it.
ZETA848 Good heck, do people even THINK before they give these products these names!? DX
yes they do these names aren't accidents
When I was a kid I used to wonder if any of these kids playing with those aliens toys had ever actually seen the R rated movie that they were based on
+Austin Zolo (cough suicide squad cough)
+Jkop There's suicide squad toys?
+DatBoy SoTalented yeah, joker, Harley, dead shot, el Diablo, Rick flag, batman, captain boomerang, and if you collect them all you can build killer croc.
samdiego Haha, so true.
I HAVE PERMISSION!!!
When he did the "EXCUSE ME, PRINCESS" part, i died!!!!
Oh man, i've lost it all at the last two commercials.
Critic Fred: I mean seriously Barn, what is about my serial that sets it apart from other serials?
Barney: Because it came from your wife's box.
Please tell me I'm not the only sucker who laughed hysterically at that joke XD
Believe it or not the "Wunder Boner" is still being sold so it must actually work, seen in on Amazon.
When I see the owl open his eyes all I can think of is…
"When I killed your brother, I talked… JUST… LIKE… THIS!!!!"
27:25 That guy in the bottom right corner giving the most epic unamused face makes me laugh harder than the entire audience cracking up does.
That "Smooshees" voice over killed me!
I love that Nerf Arrow Storm commercial. That kid pretty much embodies the mindset we had as young kids pretending to be the ultimate badasses...playing with a Nerf guns.
The shit we did with Nerf guns as kids, nowadays it would be viewed as unhealthy and warrant a trip to the school shrink to talk about Columbine and how it made us feel inside. I miss when kids could still be kids.
You, your kids, and your Johnson.
Creepiest. Line. Ever
+Jarrett Smith rivaled by that
FreeKickerz_Portland Uh, what?
wife away
gone is the day
you, your kids, and your Johnson
... What?
Well the Nerf Arrow storm kid was clearly the inspiration for King Joffrey. (seriously replace it with a crossbow and there you go.)
I remembered a friend of mine got every kind of toys ever put on a commercial. Dino riders, Aliens... Hell, he even got the Smooshie fish ! He was my best friend, ah so much souvenirs !
Adding Pulp Fiction with the "guess who" commercial just made it for me... lmao
Japan isn't so different from us, even they will give Zelda a rap theme! 😆
"Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess. "
So rap has invaded other media? Let me go and get my shotgun be back in a tick.
So the man's daughter supposedly bears the cabbage patch kids, which would make the woman on the phone, the man's mother, a great grandmother, but he tells her shes a "grandma".... So that would mean, the girl is not actually the daughter but... and the man is.... oh no....
Maybe he was talking to his wife, the girl's mother.
Yeah, Doug was never good with naming family relations. Look at his Mario Bros Movie review for a great example.
"Damnit Fred, I just wanted some fucking cerial"
God, during the "Guess Who" segment, I was saying to myself "Do it, do it, do the Pulp Fiction reference." Thank you!
I think I died when he said "Hey Joey! I got a nintendo entertainment system! Wanna play?" and then "....... THAT ........ MAN, THIS KID HAS BUBBLES! >:O"
Daniel Hunnewell Also "Hi kids! Imma table! Do you wanna hear a exciting table adventure, because y'know. Tables go on a lot of ...... adventures!" HAHAHHAHA XD
Replace "Corn Pops" with "crack" and you've got a drug commercial.
Ok the Johnson one was enough I was still laughing then the fucking wonder boner made me laugh so hard I could barely breathe
Wait, wait, wait, isn't ALIENS rated mature? If so, then why make kid action figures themed after it?!
they knew kids watched it so they were like more money for us
Besides, I bet it's rated PG-13. It may as well be. Also, think of movie ratings as game ratings.Even though the Alien movies are recommended for ages 13 & up, the underage can come.
They turned Mortal Kombat into a saturday morning cartoon, and Friday the 13th into a video game.
I'm honestly not surprised.
If Terminator 2 and Salvation can get an arcade game then anything can happen.
(I actually played the Salvation one)
isn't the proper complaint that they got the Alien names wrong like Gorrillas when their called warriors, or that the Queen doesn't fly?
I'M AN ALIENS NERD! :D
The NC liking the idea of the Wuzzles really foreshadows his love for the combination-animals in Avatar.
The BEST use of the phrase "Well EX-CUSE ME princess!" EVAR!
I had a skip-stik until an 'accident' left a few people with various injuries after using it. It was awesome.
There were neon ones at my old school, and injuries were common.
that sounds awesomely cruel
TerrmediaReturns
It was, I just watched.It kinda felt like watching You've Been Framed.
I love the joke he used for it, that's actually what I was thinking XD
Fan, det låter hemskt...
11:30 - 11:35 = I wonder if he's related to the Little Man from "The Pink Panther". :)
You gotta give the Barbie car credit, it's not bright ass pink like other cars for girls' toys, it's a red sports car convertible. I would have actually played with my Barbies if I had that.
That Fred Flintstone impression is dead on!
I lost it at "Well, EXCUUUUUUUSSSSSEEEEE ME, PRINCESS!"
19:43 that film never existed
***** remember what and shhhhhhhhhh that's meant to be between me and Goofy
+Jacob Chavarria how long do you think until Disney Channel or Junior airs Dumbo, Peter Pan, or Lady and the Tramp?
Well it did but 4 a short time period
Cephas Aaron Shhhhhh
0_0
Fun fact: the Link in that Japanese Zelda commercial is a girl. Im not kidding.
Wait, Link isn't a girl?
MariktheGunslinger well uhhh...um doesnt a girl saving a princess sound kind strange?
TheGamingGuy That was a joke.
Well not every one has the same sense of humor.
DraculaCronqvist Because some Asian dudes can really pull it off.
Dino-Riders were awesome, I miss them.
I remember those ABC bumps! Loved them! And I remember all those commercials, too! LOL
The ads I can remember are: Flintstones Pebbles, Tootsie Pop, Grape Escape, Guess Who, Corn Pops (got to have my Pops).
Dino Riders needs to be rebooted for the modern age like Thundercats 2011
8:08
These call lines were before my time, but why were these companies wanting little kids to call them?!
aenjgeal
They're premium lines. The companies were trying to get some cash out of the irresponsible parents of gullible children.
Because there was a man at the other end of the line touching himself with his pants down whilst the little children spoke to him. If not, then money. Or both.
My reaction: Eric Cartman's laugh
video: "you, your kids and your johnson"
me: *crying in the corner*
That table call thing was fucking hilarious
I HAVE PERMISSION
"mom, your a grandma" wasnt she already a grandma? who was that llittle girl if it wasnt her grandaughter?
I thought he was referring to his daughter's mom, his wife.
Clearly that little girl was his young bride.
A lot of people refer to their spouse as "Mom" or "Dad" respectively.
Ryan Wesemann yeah, people dating their parents
Chris Leonard
Got some projection going on there I see.
man old commercials were soooo much better
Fun fact: the amount of licks that it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop is about 700
6:03 Almost right when it started, I was immediately thinking Flashdance, and I was like "I wonder if he's gonna make a Flashdance joke" 6:40 CALLED IT!!
I like the Zelda rap.
i guess you could say barney has a CEREAL problem
I knew it! Harambe worked for BURGERKING!
You are tearing me apart corn pops I watched that 40 times...
The footage of those animals right before the Spring Bunny commercial is from Kimba the White Lion!
I HAVE PERMISSION!!!!!
*HE-SEX!!*
What's with the "Call this number" ads ? What are they for ? Sides talking to the characters....
It was an eighties Fad that wore out it's welcome
why is that fox looking at her boobs like that?
Easy money.
Um... what exactly was that "You & Your Johnson" commercial advertising?
… your Johnson?…
+ShadowSilver1991 A boat motor.
it was a boat company. 😄
Oh my god, 7:01 Dino Riders were AWESOME, the toys were all amazing, I can tell you why it never caught on though, I remember them being rather large (especially the tyrannosaur) and they were quite expensive at the time. Cool as they were, I'd be willing to bet most parents weren't willing to shell out the money and just had their kids pick something cheaper.
The end is the funniest thing ever!

People would be like...I hope this animal dies so I can sell this card at a pawn shop and get money for it. That would be crazy...
I'd buy the crap out of those cards.
I'm surprised no one has re-introduced Dino Riders today. They've succeeded with today's Transformers, Littlest Pet Shop and MLP shows.
Who wouldn't want to see a show about aliens taking over the minds of dinosaurs to use them in a war
There have been rumours of a Dino Riders movie coming soon, and I'm sure that will bring toys with it
Steve Perrin
Here's hoping...so long as Michael Bay isn't involved, I'm excited
+sadlobster1 If he was, they would EXPLODE!!
22.22
The only messed-up thing about the wuzzles is...
how did their parents...
i mean, a lion and a frigging bee... D8
*NOPE.AVI*
the Skip Stick looks like something Donatello would invent if the accidentally glued fising line to his bow staff.
I want to know if someone actually broke into Doug's house just to re-enact that "Do the Arches" scene.
I HAVE PERMISSIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
Sega does what Nintendon't.... fades away :(
WTF? $2 for the first minute and 35 cents each additional minute?
And these are supposed to be call lines for stories. You can imagine each story probably lasted AT LEAST 10 min. Those people were seriously evil.
Pera Medina
And you know they would speak as slowly as humanly possible to drag out the clock and run up the bill.
Nice Herbert the Pervert reference.
i would love to be one of the people at the convention stuck in time with this episode. being able to watch this and go "hey i was in the audience" would be amazing =P congratz to everyone in this for being a good sport!
