THIS. IS EPCOT CENTER.


This is probably one of our favorite commercials that we have. It makes me want to jump into a time machine and go to the Epcot Center of the 80's. We went as kids right around this time and it was EXACTLY like the video!

How the hell did they get Mickey up on top of Spaceship Earth that giant golf ball??!?

NEW Cheese Ritz Bits: Every bit as good as a Ritz


This is when Cheese Ritz Bits were brand new. I guess this is before Nabisco made Ritz Bits Sandwiches which have different fillings such as Peanut Butter or Cheese. These were just cheese-flavored crackers. Supposedly, Ritz crackers were named after Ritz-Carlton because it conjured up the image of wealth and glamour.

Btw, the Ritz Bits thief at the end of this commercial is the scientist/doctor guy.

1988 Human Rights Now! rally in Philly


Here is a news reporter named Dan Mechum inviting everyone to come to the Human Rights Now! rally in Philadelphia. In the background is beautiful Penn's Landing along the Delaware River!

The Rally was on September 18, 1988 at Noon and it was located at the Judge Lewis Quadrangle on 5th & Market Streets in Philadelphia, PA.

From Wikipedia: "Human Rights Now! was a worldwide tour of 20 benefit concerts on behalf of Amnesty International that took place over six weeks in 1988. Held not to raise funds but to increase awareness of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on its 40th anniversary and the work of Amnesty International, the shows featured Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman, and Youssou N'Dour, plus guest artists from each of the countries where concerts were held."

The very beginning of Pee-Wee Herman's comeback!


Pee-Wee Herman is my hero. I'm so happy he's back. Anyways...

It's really cool watching this video since this was pretty much the first time he came back into the public's eye after his arrest. When I was a kid (and then eventually a teen), I was wondering where Pee-Wee was. It was nice to see him working on his comeback doing minor roles and such.

And here I am now, so happy to say I saw him on his Broadway show this past Fall and I loved the show so much. And yes, I DO want to marry it.

This commercial compares HORMEL's microwave soups with CAMPBELLS microwave soups.

Guess who wins! Actually watch the video then you'll know who wins!! Actually, you've proabably already watched the video and you know who won the soup challenge. So basically this description is worthless then. Or maybe no. Anyways (spoiler alert!), here's a quick insiders tip: Hormel wins.

Interesting factoid: Hormel created Spam! (the "meat" not the email junk)

One of PIXAR's original animations


To start off, Pixar is a Disney animation company that has made films such as Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, and Toy Story 3 just to name a few. Yeah, they're pretty much the biggest animation studio in the world.

Now time for the video. Here's a Listerine mouthwash commercial that was made by Pixar during their younger days back in 1990! Here's a quote explaining it all:

"In the early to mid 1990s, one of the ways Pixar tried to support itself was making television commercials for products like LifeSavers candy, Trident gum, and Pillsbury rolls. Not surprisingly, Pixar specialized in commercials that used character animation to give products a personality.

Some of its most admired commercial work was for Listerine; the agency involved, J. Walter Thompson, gave Pixar considerable creative freedom.

How do you give a personality to a faceless bottle?"

-
Good question. Keep reading.
-

"Boxer (1990)
Director: John Lasseter

The concept was inspired by the 1980 film Raging Bull. A newly-hired Pete Docter assisted with the animation. (The internal title was Boxer, not Boxing as stated in the video.)"

Oops. Haha, he talked about 2RadicalDudez!

Hope you enjoyed!!!

"Smithsonian Treasures" was a TV show on FOX in 1988. I think it basically featured the arts & sciences and goes around and "travels in search of the answers". Has anyone seen this show? This show isn't even on IMDB. Did it ever exist? I think it's time to travel in search of the answers.

Also, this video happens to be our least popular video with 79 views after a little more than 1 year. Wow! That's just insanely unpopular.

Joey Jay's piano playing is a Miracle!


Here is "The Miracle" and it can be used with your Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Apple Macintosh, Amiga, Sega Genesis and PC. It was made to teach kids how to play the piano. The set consisted of a MIDI keyboard, connecting cables, power supply, soft foot pedals, and software either on 3.5" floppies or a standard, licensed NES/SNES/Genesis cartridge.

There are two games that are in "The Miracle". The first is called Robo Man where you have to press the correct keys at the right time to create a bridge. If you miss, Robo Man falls and you lose. The second game is a duck shooting game. You have to press the correct keys to shoot the ducks.

When originally released in 1990, it was priced at $500. Today, it is very rare to find a complete set. Do you have a complete set? We want one! Even an incomplete set!!

Not much to say here. They didn't put much money into this commercial and it certainly isn't too radical. But hey, that's alright. They can't be radical all the time!

All-star cast in a movie that we never saw


We never saw this movie but have one question. Why did they use this song for the trailer? This song can only be used for one movie and one movie only. It's one of the greatest movies of all time and I'm sure you all agree. The movie is:

"The Goonies"

Maybe "The Bonfire of the Vanities" is a good movie too though. Let us know!

This cat will starve himself unless he's fed Kal Kan


This 1988 commercial might possibly be the LAST EVER Kal Kan commercial. The reason why is because in 1988 Kal Kan changed its name to Whiskas. Another interesting fact is that Whiskas is owned by Mars, Incorporated who is most known for making many, many candies such as M&M's, Milky Way, Snickers, Skittles, Doublemint gum, and Starburst just to name a few. Wow, pet food and human food. Go figure!!

There's nothing 2 sticks of TWIX can't fix


Here's another Twix candy commercial. They all had very similar themes back then. Basically showing city/working class people who are on the go and that they can function very efficiently while eating Twix. Another great song with some great dance moves.

Keep on Movin' with Peanut Butter TWIX


I remember these Twix commercials used to be on all the time. I still know the song word for word. In this commercial they mention how they have the new Peanut Butter Twix which were always my favorite kind. I believe they were discontinued for many years but think they might have come back recently. I'll check next time I'm in my local convenience store.

Can't compute! Need more fruit!


This commercial has a robot that kind of looks like Toucan Sam but his nose isn't like his though. Also, you gotta love Toucan Sam's famous quote: "Just follow my nose. It always knows!"

Just say "WHEN" Ernie!


When I was a kid in the 80's I always wondered where the Keebler Elves lived. I always thought that they lived in a random tree nearby my house. Unfortunately, I eventually found out that they were just some money making ad campaign and that they never actually lived at all and if they did live they didn't live in a tree but instead lived in the brain of some douche bag douche. Anyway..... the mass-produced conveyor belt cookies still taste pretty good if ya ask me!
