Handi-Snacks Cheez'n Crackers are FantaSTICK!!!


Here is an old Kraft Handi-Snacks Cheez'n Crackers commercial from 1995. It features "Stick Figure" who is the famous plastic red stick you use to spread the cheese with. He's a pretty funny guy! Was he in any other commercials or did Kraft fire him since they thought he was too cheesy? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Stick Figure has some great lines such as:

          "My rooms got a sunroof...I can eat crackers in bed...AND I get to splash around in a tub full of cheese!!"

          (Acts like he's JAWS) "Pretty scary huh? Oooh! I'm shakin' in my cheese!!"

          "Give me all your cheese! This is a STICK up!!"

          "It's great being me. Only one small problem. NO ROOM FOR A BRAIN!!!"

          "Enough with the yackin'...it's time for snackin'!!"

          "Handi-Snacks. FantaSTICK!!"

I used to love eating these during lunchtime when I was a kid. My mom didn't buy them too often so whenever I'd open my lunch bag and see the cheez'n crackers goodness, I'd be so happy. I haven't tried them in sooooo long. Are they any good anymore???

Sensodyne Toothpaste: Wives know best when it comes to sensitive teeth

Here are two Sensodyne Toothpaste commercials that we recorded back in the summer of 1995. They both aired during "Those Incredible Animals" on the Discovery Channel which we recorded back then because animals are radical.

Both commercials are pretty similar with the wife giving the husband the ability to help his sensitive teeth. Of course both husbands are a bit reluctant, but after their Sensodyne experience, both mouths are feeling fresh, cool, and clean!!


This husband kind of reminds me of Jefferson from "Married with Children". Well, at least he can enjoy his iced teas now - thanks to his wife!!




This guy sticks his finger in his wife's toothpaste.......and she likes it.

If you ERECT it, they will cum...err, come


This rap about the Erector Set is totally radical. Didn't all 90's commercials have rap involved some way or another?

Did you guys erect things with the Erector Set? We never erected Erector Sets....we were Lego guys.

Kurt Cobain's suicide: One year later "MTV News: The Week in Rock"


We recorded this on April 8, 1995 from "MTV News: The Week in Rock". They did a segment on how people were feeling one year after Nirvana's frontman Kurt Cobain killed himself.

They interviewed people such as David Fricke (Music Editor of Rolling Stone), Matthew Sweet, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Joe Sib from Wax, and some Nirvana fans in Seattle, New York, and Memphis.

This segment also includes clips from the vigil held on April 10, 1994 in Seattle and how "In Utero", "Nevermind", and "Unplugged in New York" were all currently on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart.

Kurt Loder talks about Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl's "new" band The Foo Fighters and how, in the next few days, they'll be launching a debut tour in Tempe, AZ and opening up for Mike Watt. Loder also adds how Nirvana bassist Christ Novoselic still plays music but has yet to join a new band. It closes out with live footage of Nirvana playing "Lithium".

Luckily, we recorded more videos during the hours and days of this tragic event which we'll be posting soon.......

RIP Kurt

Kurt Cobain's suicide: One year later "Extra"


Wow. How the hell has it been 17 years. Well, anyway.....


We recorded this gossip TV show "Extra" on April 8, 1995 since it had a segment on how Nirvana fans were feeling one year after Kurt Cobain committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.

John Norris (who was with MTV when Kurt originally killed himself) was working as a correspondent with "Extra" and he takes us to a (yes you guessed it...to a Seattle coffeehouse) to see how people were coping one year after Kurt Cobain's death.

He spoke to 16-year-olds who seemed jaded. Weren't we all jaded in 1995?

John Norris also showed the park bench near Kurt Cobain's home which fans have turned into a memorial site. Have you been there yet?

At the end of the segment, Cobain's wife, Courtney Love is mentioned since she "put together the soundtrack" of 'Tank Girl' and was making her acting debut in 'Feeling Minnesota' (which is untrue since she was in 'Sid and Nancy' back in 1986).

"Extra" also mentioned how "Life after Kurt has been successful for his widow Courtney Love." Is that true???

More Kurt Cobain suicide era videos will be coming soon......

RIP Kurt

It's NERF Liquidator Football or nothin'


Here is a NERF Liquidator Football commercial from 1995. This football has a really cool design which creates a perfect spiral and allows you to throw the ball far as ever! There's a "hydro ring" filled with liquid that's around the football that helps you complete that perfect Hail Mary pass in the end zone for the win!

Do you know what NERF stands for? Well, it stands for "Non-Expanding Recreational Foam". We personally don't remember the NERF Liquidator Football but certainly remember the classic fluorescent colored NERF spiral footballs which everyone in the neighborhood had back in the early 90's.

Do you guys remember the NERF Liquidator Football? We googled it and it's nowhere to be found anywhere online. Looks radical though!

Dizzy Grizzlies: Now that's a double snack!


Here is a Dizzy Grizzlies cookie commercial from 1995. These cookies were a spin-off of Teddy Grahams. The cookie consists of a graham cracker shaped as a gnarly Grizzly Bear who is shreddin' it up by rollerblading, biking, or skateboarding. The back side of the cookie has a layer of either chocolate or vanilla frosting mixed with rainbow sprinkles.

As an added bonus, on the back of each specially marked box has a 3-D puzzle made from magic sprinkles! We actually took a screen grab from the video to see if the 3-D magic eye puzzle would still work.

Guess what? It works!! And we discovered a secret word next to the bear (which wasn't mentioned in the commercial). Go give it a try and let us know what word you see!

Stare at this 3-D magic image. What do you see?

Pop-a-wheelie on a Big Wheelie!


Here is a Big Wheelie commercial from 1995. These look so fun. It's cool how these boys make it look so easy to pop a wheelie and spin at the same time. What a great idea for a toy! We never had this kind of toy bike. We always had the regular Big Wheels. Did any of you guys have these?

Bad ass lookin' Big Wheelie

A Barbie-Q picnic! Thanks to Barbie and her minivan!


Here is a Barbie commercial from 1995 that shows a Barbie mini-van toy set. This Barbie Minivan is awesome since you can fit many Barbie dolls inside it. It looks like it can fit Barbie, Ken, Barbie's friend, and a spot for Baby Kelly (it even includes a baby seat for Baby Kelly!!!)

It becomes even cooler since it has a sunroof, the seats are adjustable, the baby seat for Baby Kelly is removable, and there's a trunk that has many outdoor grilling accessories (plus many more surprises!)

Wow!! All of this makes a perfect Barbie-Q!!!!!

Green Day's Billie Joe arrested for indecent exposure (November 1995)


Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong was charged and arrested for 'Indecent Exposure' after a show at The Mecca in Milwaukee, WI on November 21, 1995 (other sites say it happened on 11/21/96 but they got the year wrong).

Here is a clip from "MTV News: The Week in Rock" in which Kurt Loder reports on the arrest. Billie Joe supposedly pulled his pants down and mooned the audience and the Milwaukee police arrested and charged him with Indecent Exposure after the show. He bailed out that night for $111 but forfeited that money when he didn't appear for a 9am appointment the next morning. Drummer Tre Cool is interviewed over the phone about the charge against Billie Joe and says that it only happened because the cops were upset that Green Day wouldn't hang out with them backstage.

Before the incident, MTV caught up with Green Day at the Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on November 16, 1995. They were interviewed on topics such as if touring gets boring for them, how Billie Joe and Tre Cool are new fathers, playing bigger venues, Ticketmaster and Pearl Jam, the remainder of their Insomniac Tour and what they do on their days off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So people out there. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of you at that 11/21/95 Green Day concert at The Mecca in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Please show yourselves and let us know if Billie Joe showed his ass or not. We're confused why this story has some sketchy details and wrong dates online...

COME FORWARD!! YOU BILLIE JOE BUTT CHEEK LOOKERS WHO ARE HIDING IN THE ABYSS OF 2011+++ YOU MAY HAVE WIVES AND KIDS NOW. BUT WE MUST KNOW. DID BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG SHOW HIS ASS CHEEKS ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION?

Probably, since he did it pretty often back then.

rad.

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.
