Classic Commercials
 

Commercials played a big part in my childhood. Heck, they were aimed directly at me! I think it can be kind of fun to revisit some of the old ones and take a nostalgia trip back to your old living room floor, staring straight into the loving glow of your tv.

Here are a couple to get started.

Anyone have any info on the Mike suit used here?


The "mutating" voice sounds exactly as i remembered it..


I'm pretty sure I asked my mom to buy this every time we went grocery shopping. I was able to get it only once(that i can remember).


Anyone else have any they remember as a kid?

There was an entire thread posted about Playmates toy ads.

I actually remember being disappointed when the "tension theme" would lead to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will return after these messages", though I thought the commercials themselves were entertaining. Its just that the channels I watch tend to have way to much info overload with disclaimers (car commercials and pharmaceuticals), infomercials regarding stuff that I don't really need (mortgage, insurance, senior citizen care). Of course this is less of a problem on Nick/Cartoon Network, but I miss the catchy jingles of the '80s/'90s. Thank goodness for Youtube! I also like how many voice actors also are involved in commercial work besides animation, showing them their more realistic side in presenting in addition to being goofy.

(slaps face!) Sorry, did a search for "Commercials"....
Any Mod can please delete this thread.

And I completely agree with you about seeing another side of the voice actors.
