These commercials make a good point. Like something because you like it not because of what someone else thinks & in a way that's how it was growing up we buy things cause we wanted to be cool to someone.
Dizzy Storms That's right or because it's endorsed by some celebrity. Chances are those celebrities might not even use the products they are endorsing in their every day lives.
That was the whole point of those commercials. They were making fun of other commercials that oversold their product with celebrity endorsements and colorful mascots. The whole point is to be clever with your product.
Interesting record of the 1990s cynical, meta, hypocritical corporate campaigns. Seems honest by today's standards. They've gotten so much more skilled and ruthless in pretending to be innocent and enlightened.
I honest to god remember this commercial almost word for word and I most certainly do NOT remember hearing that line when it aired! ....I wonder if someone caught wind of it and threatened to sue if it went on air...
I remember the second Grant Hill commercial having a different ending. He asks his agent if he wants a Sprite and a lightbulb literally goes off in the agent's head. The other line must've been a dig towards Shaq, because it seems that they stopped using it.
Sprite: Drink something because you like it, and not because of advertising. Me: Well Sprite, thanks for teaching such a valuable lesson. There's just one problem. Sprite: What's that? Me: I don't like soda at all. Sprite: ... Oh. Me: And I mostly just watch any kind of advertisement for entertainment value, no matter how I feel about the actual product, so now gimmick is gonna convince me to like soda either. Sprite: ....Quick! Someone get Kermit the Frog's psychopathic cousin on the phone! Me: Oh crap! See ya!
Dammit man not only did that kid Montero still the names of everyone with the little in their name plus he stole Nas and the X from DMX and Xzibit all manly men by the way then he got the nerve to steal Old Town Road from Grant Hill I say nay nay cancel culture is on the way is kid Montero needs to be cancelled I had enough now how dare he steal from Grant Hill
DON'T talk to me like a child IIIII played Hamlet at Cambridge. Once again you've ruined my concentration. Excuse me excuse me? Where's my motivation.
“That’s it!!! I’m going to my trailer!!!”
yoooo I totally forgot bout that commercial
Soooo funny
“Genius, the can’s upside down!!!” LMAO
I cried a million times over this commercial one of the greatest of all time😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
21 years since the 90s ended and Shaq still is doing anything he wants. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well said.
It's always kinda funny when corporations give you good advice.
That's why I drank Vernors in the 90s, before they got bought out by Dr. Pepper/Snapple and reformulated and ruined with HFCS shit.
I wanted to drink more Sprite just because these commercials were so refreshingly raw and honest. SPRITE kept it real.
Is it me, or are these commercials the textbook definition of irony and hypocrisy?
That's sorta the point tho. They were Self-Aware in the 90s
i agree is kinda like irony
That was the whole point of those commercials. They were making fun of other commercials that oversold their product with celebrity endorsements and colorful mascots. The whole point is to be clever with your product.
No, these are the most “anti-commercial” commercials ever produced!
Well who gets all HAPPY when an image pops off a product? That shit would scare the hell out of me too
Drink Sprite because you like it, not because an athlete does.
_official soft drink of the nba_
Thank God for Gen X'ers. They really are a clever bunch:)
Yes, we are 😁
Purple sprite makes me feel ight 🎶🤣
Came because Nostalgia Critic included this one this year.
Same here.
In 20 years people will watch this and think that this is exactly how the 90s was
These commercials were/are under appreciated.
"There's one reason to drink something. And it isn't to get junk."
Tell that to Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and present day Coca Cola with its "Sip & Scan".
Image is everything. Thirst is nothing. Obey your image. Water.
That’s not the point but ok lol
Image is nothing. Thirst is nothing. Rejuvenate your thirst. Splode.
@@jordanthomas7304 grab a can of splode.
And obliterate your thirst.
One of the best campaigns of the decade.
Ahhhh the 90's Refreshing!!
Is Aged like fine surge.
"Image Is Nothing""Thirst Is Everything""Obey Your Thirst"
Cody Cain why do you people repeat things that we already heard. I have never understood that
2:26 wow I remember that 3-second snip of “cowboy” was a real banger, totally woulda bought that album if it existed

Was that a shot at Shaq near the end?
"We'll call that big guy in LA... he'll do ANYTHING."
Jess Ragan yes. Yes it was.
Shaq was promoting Pepsi at the time.
I honest to god remember this commercial almost word for word and I most certainly do NOT remember hearing that line when it aired!
....I wonder if someone caught wind of it and threatened to sue if it went on air...
Nice shot at Shaq and Pepsi at the end. Lol
That's right, don't "get" junk, drink junk!
My favorite spot from this campaign
was always "I watch too much TV" 🤣
Why is the Death Slug film pitch so accurate 😢?
These brought back some true memories
1:44 lol!
"I'm full of vitamins and minerals!Run away!"
Great job, Sprite. /s
Spite should have a place in Commercial Hip Hop just like Welches Grape Juice.
These were way ahead of their time
I remember the second Grant Hill commercial having a different ending. He asks his agent if he wants a Sprite and a lightbulb literally goes off in the agent's head. The other line must've been a dig towards Shaq, because it seems that they stopped using it.
I think Shaq had a Pepsi deal, so that's probably why.
I think these are the best commercials ever!
Oh wow these commercials are genius
Sun Fizz That's Our Favorite
Slug Slime sounds hella cool for a music video
I want a full song out of "Cowboy"
Holy s***, I found this commercial I used to watch as a child....too funny !!!
These commercials go hard lol
“He’s a coooowwbooyyy!!!”
JOOKY!!
Would be even funnier if the SunFizz mascot was glowing and left burn marks on the table & floor
Jerry Robinson: (Laughs)
Nick Ragoni: (Laughs)
How is the commercial at 1:42 is still funny as hell
Would love to find some of the radio spots they did for this campaign.
They were even meaner. They straight-up slammed Hansen and The Spice Girls.
What is that song in the next to last one
I have the ones with Weird Al as Yablo and the ad that spoofs subliminal advertising. Will have to put them up.
Who gave Beans a Hornet's Nest?
TRUST YOUR GUT NOT SOME CARTOON CHARACTER!
That poor Little Sun was thinking they was playing.
Spite banged on Shaq.
Our Mom Died! She Have Been Killed With That Stupid Killer Sun's Fault
I know you should get that shotgun to kill that sun abomination.
1:08 I kinda want this thou…
The 90s had a way of getting stuck your head ".....cow~boy"
1:41
True

Where?
BEANSSSS

That Sun Fizz commercial... scary.
Sprite: Drink something because you like it, and not because of advertising.
Me: Well Sprite, thanks for teaching such a valuable lesson. There's just one problem.
Sprite: What's that?
Me: I don't like soda at all.
Sprite: ... Oh.
Me: And I mostly just watch any kind of advertisement for entertainment value, no matter how I feel about the actual product, so now gimmick is gonna convince me to like soda either.
Sprite: ....Quick! Someone get Kermit the Frog's psychopathic cousin on the phone!
Me: Oh crap! See ya!
said psychopathic cousin is Wilkins isn't it

Sharon Hocutt It Was A Horror Movie Impression Of The Sprite Commercial
