How about his one:

Commercials used to be funnier and more interesting as a child, showing products relevants to the viewer

I found some cool late 1990's/ early 2000's commercials.

Yeah nowadays it's mostly insurance or heart medication ads.

I swear in about 5 years we're gonna have ads saying 'if you took the CoVid vaccine early 2021, you might be entitled to compensation!!'

Here in Sweden, we have been bombarded almost daily since late 2011 with (boring) gambling commercials, usually with aggressive marketing, for Internet casinos and betting (usually during the breaks during live broadcastings of sports competitions and events, like soccer and ice hockey games). These commercials break the laws all the time (even if they're aired from Malta) but nobody cares. Too much money involved.

Television advertising to children younger than 12, on the other hand was made illegal in Sweden in 1991. Getting around it was easy by airing from London but these days very few major television stations even try. They're probably too afraid of complaining parents and politicians.

I remember a commercial from like the year 2000 where everyone was running away from one person until he tagged one or something like that and then everyone was running from that person and there were hundreds and hundreds of people running away. I have no idea what it was, anyone remember?

The late nineties/early aughts had some ... rather weird commercials.

The early PSP ads were just ...,

I would call these stupid beyond belief, but then I remembered that it is indeed hard to play with your nuts outside... Well... Maybe not exactly hard but certainly not something you want to get caught doing.

The early Nintendo DS commercials were also ... weird ...

Here's a super old Duncan Hines^® commercial.


It's super creepy.
