I love that in the sun fizz ad the actors had the right reaction of being absolutely terrified of an animated sun jumping off their bottle instead of going “oh cool!” and smiling like it is the most normal thing ever
The Sprite sun fizz ad was very clever indeed. Making a parody of their competitors while also promoting themselves in a non-annoying way. I miss ads like these.
I remember when that ad aired during the Super Bowl. Obviously, the marketing was incredibly effective considering I remember it still all these years later.
One of my favorite parts of 90s commercials is how it's clear that ad execs were aware of how game changing CGI was, but had absolutely no idea how to use it.
Fun fact. The reason you've never heard of Crest toothpaste is because it is sold under the Oral B brand in Ireland among other European countries instead of Crest
In Australia and New Zealand too, I never realized they were the same company! I'd heard of Crest through various American media but I just thought it was one of those strictly-American brands!
Now I really want Kevin to react to commercials and adverts from the 1950's to the 1970's. If he thought those 90's commercials were weird, he's in for a surprise lmao
It's honestly your most random content I find interesting and I love seeing you mess around in the new release of sons of the forest but if you built a prison for them I'd watch you dick around for hours . It's fun to just cheat massive structures in to confuse the cannibals they'll walk around on them all confused running and leaping weird It's great .
I'm American, but I watch a lot of commercial compilations from the UK and Ireland and holy lord, do they not fuck around with their PSAs. Absolutely brutal
Absolutely, I grew up in Dublin in like late 90s and the early 2000s, and I’m unfortunately not familiar with a lot of the ads in this video. There were some weird ones though!
A lot of these commercials seem weird an unpredictable at the time which probably kept the audience hooked because they can't predict what would happen next, it's different and imo in a good way
Funnily enough, this is what modern day social media algorithms are based on :D Unpredictability and the dopamine rush it gives has been around since slot machines
6:00 soon as he pauses before it starts I had war flashbacks. Saw that commercial when was a kid with my babysitter, and it was night time and were sitting on couch under a big blanket. That sun scared me me so much and I sometimes think back to it now as an adult. The uncanny animation of it and the real people acting legit terrified just sent me as a kid lol.
The crazy advert I always remember is a Reebok ad with a huge sentient belly chasing a guy screaming 'BELLY'S GONNA GET YOU!'. It was absolutely terrifying.
I would also LOVE to see Kevin react to the old Jim Henson "Wilkins Coffee" commercials. The chaos of those commercials would definitely be up his alley!
This. Love the OG gaming content but I think the Apnanna video was also one of the more popular ones. Rightfully so, btw. It was hilarious! Keep branching out, Kev!
I'm an adult but I was born in 2002, so old 90s stuff isn't nostalgic to me at all, just a look into how outdated and bad things were compared to now 🤣
Right after Kevin tells me to “watch this pure terror” the video immediately goes to an ad for I think tacos or something in Spanish and it fit something kevin would do even though it was u intentional. Kevin can always bring me joy even when cutoff by an ad
I was born in '88 so watching all these is just a stroll down memory lane however I now know where my crippling anxiety stems from. Thanks 90s commercials 👍🏻
'81 here, so there were few commercials I didn't' remember. It was a fun trip down memory lane. Shocked my wife when I began to sing the entire Mentos song.
I remembered about half of these commercials. Kevin's intro of the Sunny Fizz had me confused at first, but the horroresque ending snapped it right back from memory. And, yes, kids toy ads would indeed go into hard-hitting medical ads, if I recall correctly. Welcome to the 1990's? xD
Like Kevin, I’m turning 30 this year. Watching these makes me feel old because I remember some of them, but they also bring me alot of joy. Thank you Kevin, the 3.18 million subscriber youtuber
Tbh lets just enjoy the age we are at now no matter what it is, because the time will never come back anyways :D I used to dread turning 30 and then 35. I'm 38 and it finally clicked that anytime can be the best time because I will be 38 only once and the same goes for being any other age. Besides, I heard that these days people are like 10 years younger or something, so I will roll with it and say I'm 28 but still 12 at heart :D
Me born in 90 and growing up with all of these commercials. These were the earliest anxiety inducing things in the media 😂. That's why things now don't shock us we came from the generation of pure shock 🤣
I dunno at least the 90s was zany, fun or confusing. In the early 80s we had those weird scary wtf PSAs alongside weirder ads like the AIDs tombstone or kids getting yeeted dead because they were playing on electric power stations. That shit my friend, was just pure anxiety XD
@@sarahfennell9387 my bf was born in 80, I learned 80s was mainly heavy metal hair bands which I don't mind, and cheesy movies that can't go a second without showing boobs or butts 😂. Ive never heard or seen 80s ads I am quite curious 😂
@@brittanydebuhr4177 Oh we did have plenty of those! Also had some great cheesy music that now like 90 ads jingles lives rent free in my head XD You can find the old PSAs here on RUclips if you want to check them out. They haven't aged well so probably not as shocking as they were then but as a kid, scared you rotten and unfortunately you only had your mum's or grans cushion to hide behind ^.^;;;
I was freaking obsessed with my bicycling Barbie, but I managed to forget her existence until just now. I also loved that dinosaur Nickelodeon commercial! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!!!
The Sun Fizz commercial was hilarious 😂 The family screaming and running from the cartoon character instead of acting like it was totally normal/ignoring it is a pretty accurate reaction for most people if that happened irl and I'm glad whoever came up with this commercial embraced that lmao
I know Kevin probably won't see this but I've had a really bad couple of weeks, and he's probably the only thing media wise which has made me feel better for a bit so thank you.
Just a shout-out to Kevin for showing us the parts of the world we really really don't want to see ... And problay would have not had to go and spend hundreds on thearpy to forget what we have just watched... Love you Kev...
Same here. I remembered most of these. It even pained me a little tiny bit when Kevin was making fun of the Muppet Babies, I loved that show and Animal was my favorite.
Lots of 90s commercials were trippy, like they were just throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. Could be great... could be terrible. I loved that Sprite commercial and was delighted when I saw it on RUclips again because, honestly, it was amazing - in the span of 30 seconds it set up an amazing horror movie universe with pretty convincing acting from the kids, the mom, _and_ the dog. My neighbor had a Stretch Armstrong... we live in a semi-desert. She came home one day to find him melted in a puddle on the floor of her closet. 😑
Despite having spent the first 8 years of my life in the 90s, I don’t recognize a single one of these. We’re gonna need a sequel. Also, loved the skits in this one!
OMG THE PAGEMASTER !!!!!!! I think about this movie almost weekly, purely from the amount of times I watched it & I did in fact get a 9 in one game table from santa when I was a kid and I loved it, still have it! (too bad I was an only child and never took that into consideration) but man now this is the quality content I subbed for, granted for some reason over half of these I don't remember, probably repressed them honestly, but man I miss the 90s and ok try and tell me buddy lee doesn't have a kevin vibe- " *_CallMeKevin is CallMeKevin in CallMeKevin_* "
I was born in the 80s and I remember a lot of these commercials. It's so nostalgic. Thanks for the serotonins Keven. OMG!!!! YES!! I HAD THAT POOL TABLE/"AIR" HOCKEY TABLE/PING PONG TABLE AT 15:44!!! IT WAS SO FUN! Man, ALL the neighborhood kids would come over to play that and jump on our trampoline!
I loved the Squeeze drinks as a kid. You'd twist the top off, and then jam it under your upper lip to make "fangs." Another commercial I loved were the ones for Creepy Crawlers. Also that Hot Wheels one where it had a monster the cars drove through, and his eyeball would pop out. At the end of the commercial, he'd say in a creepy voice, "I've got my eye out for YOU!" The '90s were an awesome time to be a kid, as far as toys and commercials go. Laser tag and roller blades... and with home laser tag kits, you could do laser tag WHILE roller blading!
Ahh the 90's, a simpler time when the internet hadnt take host of every part of life 🤣. They were the best time to be a kid. Kev please do a review of Ren and Stimpy. . . Best show ever. . .
I'm from the 90s (97), and as nostalgic the graphics are. Most of these adverts have scared me to my core xD I also giggled quite a lot during this video
I love your humour, Kevin. It's one of many things that had me watching almost every video of yours since you called yourself RTGame and made poop volcanoes. And it's not even scripted most of the time because the streams are full of jokes and on the fly humour as well! You're an entertainment genius, Kevin. Thank you :)
Oh man, I recognized that Bubble Tape commercial immediately. And the Muppet Babies. The 90s was definitely a strange time to be a teen. From riding bikes in the dirt to internet in a decade.
I was born in the 90s but I still remember going from mud pies and VHS tapes to asking a parent before going online to my first cell phone and my aunt making me cry because she kept texting me even tho my parents didn't pay for texts and I didn't want to be in trouble lol
@@msjkramey This sort of thing reminds me how time in a way kinda moved diferently depending of the country. I was born at the turn of the century but i also remenber the transition betwen VHS and DVD and the ensuing dissapearance of stores that rented them. Plus how cellsphones went from those clunky, small ones with tons of bottons to the huge tactiles ones of today in the span of a few years. Stuff that must have happened earlier in the so called "first world" came around several years later and, by consequence, it all happened much faster. Like the change of cellphones happened between the late 2000s and early 2010s and i got my first computer in 2009, which wasnt all that diferent from my current computer (though, being honest, my current one isnt all that modern either, its around seven years old).
@@msjkramey From Argentina. Before cellphones became common and everyone have access to the internet, it seemed like down here we were always a decade behind the "first world" in one way or the other.
Thank you for continuing to give me laughter, and serotonin. It is definitely needed and I am glad I can always count on your content if, and when, I need it.
Is it sad to say, I have been patiently waiting for Kevin to do a 90's related video, now I can feel new experiences of nostalga and reopened terrors 😂😊🎉
@@baguettemboi idk what's wrong with him, he keeps replying me things like this every single time I comment here, dude must be obsessed with me or something lmao
This one was a blast from the past. Thanks Kevin. Your videos always make my day...Maybe you can also take us back to 80s, 70s, 60s...back to the first ad ever.
So I was born in 1979. I was a teenager when most of these ads came out. I have to say, it feels a little weird to see someone born after most of them were made react to them like it's this bizarre nonsense from a bygone age (I mean, it IS, but I remember all of those distinctly). What a time to be alive, the 1990s. I wish I could go back there and do something radical again.
I was born in 74 but my brother's kids were 90s kids and I babysat them and remember many of these ads. The very first PC I bought had windows 95 so that was a trip down memory lane. The Mentos ads are iconic too.
Born in 86 and remember all of these c commercials growing up. On 4:14 I remember there was like a PSA commercial bump of Lou Albano as Mario talking about drugs and you will go to hell if you did and it was on Philly 57 (I grew up in Philadelphia area). That stuck me for years about it till Nostalgic Critic did a video about it.
13:32 I was trying not to burst out laughing in the car repair lobby, this killed me 🤣 and no not because I was the hostage that Kevin’s sniper shot on accident
Those commercials are so trippy, I haven't seen those ones. The ones I would see on TV were mostly toys and cartoon commercials. On that note you should react to more retro ads, like Fox Kids or Teletoon (or whatever TV channel specific ads). I think that would really take us down memory lane. Or even brand ads, like Jack in the Box was hilarious. OORRR you could even react to Canadian commercials, like the house hippo, it would be funny to see your reactions to them.
As a millennial, I appreciate this because this is nostalgia crack. Especially those mentos commercials. That was elementary school for me 🤣 and I legit had that star Colgate as a kid. I forgot how literally everything was anthropomorphic haha
I bet Kevin would love the super mario super show. I watched it as a kid and it was utter chaos lol, I remember distinctly thr one where there was the fountain of youth and the characters turned to babies or something. Probably one of the more mild ones bc I only had one DVD of a couple episodes
@@smollmoth6376 Really! Yeah, when the show ran back in the 90s, the first 5 minutes or so and the last 5 minutes would have a live action Mario and Luigi, and they'd get into dumb situations. Then the cartoon was in the middle. I think on Fridays it was a Legend of Zelda cartoon instead of Mario Brothers.
I'm a wee bit older than Kevin. When I started using RUclips, James Rolfe was the shit! It was amazing seeing you reference AVGN and the power glove. It was an awesome meme after James made that video.
This was so fun, but also if you go back, I would love for you to comment on the late 80s/early 90s "Milk does a body good" ads. They were....interesting to say the least.
(Authentic 90s kid) We tend to think of trends changing from decade to decade, but the early 90s was vastly different from the late 90s. As a kid in the early 90s and a teen in the late 90s, here's what I remember: I don't personally really remember any of these commercials personally, but the trippy bubble tape commercial (which I would buy a lot) was indicative of how early marketing to kids was like. Skateboarding (and surfing) were the ultimate cool in the early to mid 90s. Mostly the early half. Rap music was also pretty tame in the early 90s. I don't remember hearing any modern rap until 95-96 or so with 2Pac, Notorious BIG, Wu-Tang clan, Puff Daddy. I remember Nirvana showing up around 93-94 and kicking off their style of rock which became dominant alongside rap and r&b. Backstreet Boyz came out very late 90s and started the new boy band/girl band craze. Comics were niche still and anti-heroes, ultra muscular art being most popular but nearly all of the movie super heroes were still around in comic books since they mostly go back to the 60s. When super-heroes made it to the movies they were all very very terrible, but the 90s Spider-Man and X-Men (pre X-men Evolution) were very successful despite terrible animation. Action stars and movies with Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Seagal, and Bruce Willis were still popular in the early 90s but that carried over from the 80s. Video games were very restricted in the early 90s. Mortal Kombat featuring blood was a HUGE controversy (which is hilarious if you compare the first game to the modern ones!), and I remember having to use a cheat code to enable blood on Genesis but I think it was uncensored in arcades. The government complained about it a lot. For consoles I went from NES to Sega Genesis. Of all video games I played in the early/mid 90s, these I played I remember the MK games, Street Fighter 2, Sonic games, Doom games, Warcraft 2, Shadowrun, and X-Men 2: Clone Wars the most. Video games felt like they were all hard mode back then and they didn't have an easy mode. There weren't any save files so you had to either remember a password to skip levels (if the devs were nice enough to have them) or play straight from the beginning. Saves did not come until Nintendo 64 and Playstation. Video games were not on CDs until the Playstation or the failure that was Sega CD. The only people who had a cell phone back then when they came out were important businessmen and they only made phone calls. Pagers were also used, which was just a small pocket-sized device that told you the number or name of someone that called you. TVs (and computer monitors) were fat, heavy, and had poorer quality than today. They weren't in a widescreen format even though movie theaters were. Movies were made in widescreen still and had to be cropped for TV. Cassette and VHS tapes were the norm until you started to see music CDs and video DVDs in the very late 90s, though they would be released together until the mid-2000s or so. It wasn't weird to not have a home PC and nobody I knew (including myself) had internet until very late 90s. We had computer classes in school but had no internet. We mostly just learned how to use them, type, and use a few programs. If we were lucky, we got to mess around on Paint or play Oregon Trail (where I always failed to cross a river) or another educational game. When I got internet, I only knew websites by seeing them advertised on TV, and images took a minute or more to load on dial-up. You're gonna have to wait for an animated GIF, and maybe come back later for that video clip. Few websites had ads, and the only ads you'd see were banner ads on the top or bottom of the page. It made more sense to go to a library to learn about something than hope to find it online, so we were all dumb back then. This explains old people btw.
When Kevin thought 1998 was 15 years ago instead of 25 years ago… I felt that in a real way.
Right? I graduated high school and moved out on my own in 1998.
Didn't we all😂
Kevin is a man child, he is always 15
Uh, are your entirely certain it's 25 years?
Came here to say this 😭
I love that in the sun fizz ad the actors had the right reaction of being absolutely terrified of an animated sun jumping off their bottle instead of going “oh cool!” and smiling like it is the most normal thing ever
Yeah that's the joke lol
The Sprite sun fizz ad was very clever indeed. Making a parody of their competitors while also promoting themselves in a non-annoying way. I miss ads like these.
Sprite had great ads in the 90s. So much funner than now.
The liberals won't allow ads like that anymore
I remember when that ad aired during the Super Bowl. Obviously, the marketing was incredibly effective considering I remember it still all these years later.
@nathanhancey8619 How the feck does this connect to that?

Wait what?! In mexico we've got both crest *and* oral b I've always thought they were 2 different brands :d
@@kazzs2173 could be a situation where brand owns the name only in some countries, and in others a different company got to it first.
Same here in Germany.
Now I really want Kevin to react to commercials and adverts from the 1950's to the 1970's. If he thought those 90's commercials were weird, he's in for a surprise lmao
Oh now there's a rabbit hole I've never gone down
“Today we’re doing something a little bit different”😂😂 love these Kev!
Wouldn't complain if Kevin made a second channel just exploring everything 90s 👀😂
It's honestly your most random content I find interesting and I love seeing you mess around in the new release of sons of the forest but if you built a prison for them I'd watch you dick around for hours . It's fun to just cheat massive structures in to confuse the cannibals they'll walk around on them all confused running and leaping weird It's great .
When Kevin does something "a little bit different", I know my day is going to be a little bit special.
He looks more and more like Steve Buscemi haha
@@FriedSheep69 kev is very handsome don't compare him to Steve they're both funny though. 😂
Kev should review British and Irish 90s ads for a real close to home dose of nostalgia.
Yes!!
Kevin reacts to: Traumatising RSA ads from the early 2000s!
Actually what I was hopeing this would be I thought I was going to see some wierd Irish ads I've never seen before
I'm American, but I watch a lot of commercial compilations from the UK and Ireland and holy lord, do they not fuck around with their PSAs. Absolutely brutal

I'm starting to hate your presence a little bit but you're still better than than that nwrih guy and all the other anoying commenters
Sure, but it's not like people could skip the ads
@Alanna Booplesnoot sure but I would just leave to go to the bathroom or get some bagel bites lol
And they had to keep people's attention when they really just wanted to run to the bathroom or kitchen
Funnily enough, this is what modern day social media algorithms are based on :D Unpredictability and the dopamine rush it gives has been around since slot machines
6:20 FINALLY! An ad where people react realistically to a creepy, reality-defying mascot suddenly spawning into their home
the variety in kevin’s videos is always a cool break!!! it’s nice to see kevin branch out and have fun with videos
Irk, that's the same thing I said
Love seeing Kevin change things up a bit!
My favourite content of his ngl
I agreeeeee he’s having fun I love to see it
Why do so many of the comments on Kevin's videos sound like bots wrote them?

Yeah really funny

I thought you’d mention it being a young mila kunis at 15:20 but instead you made the doll into an insane murderer so that was much better
Okay I didn't see anyone else mention the fact that it was Mila, I thought I was tripping 😅
Shame he missed that though.
I was born in '88 so watching all these is just a stroll down memory lane however I now know where my crippling anxiety stems from. Thanks 90s commercials 👍🏻

That Sun Fizz ad has been living in my brain rent free for 3 decades, and it will stay there until the day I die.
these adverts actually seem really creative and well done compared to modern adverts. like i’m actually enjoying a lot of these 😂
I was born in '89 and this video brought back a lot of memories. The 90s were wild!
13:41 I’m actually crying if laughter, this bit was too good 💀
Kevin is an advertising genius, I didn't even realise when mid-roll ads started playing.
Kevin is an advertisement genius.
6:49 I feel like I remember seeing an ad like this when I was a kid. But I was a kid in the early 2010’s
That "maniac not included" got me and my grandma laughing like never before! Thank you for the video, CallMeKevin.
Really cool!
I know Kevin probably won't see this but I've had a really bad couple of weeks, and he's probably the only thing media wise which has made me feel better for a bit so thank you.
I hope your days become better and brighter, watching Kevin helps me too :)
The nostalgia is insane. That little girl in the doll commercial is Mila Kunis!!
I thought so!
literally if commercials were more like this I'd be happy letting them play before and during videos, just get me hyped up
This needs to be a series.
The skits were on a different level in this video! Kevin is a comedy GENIUS!
Just a shout-out to Kevin for showing us the parts of the world we really really don't want to see ... And problay would have not had to go and spend hundreds on thearpy to forget what we have just watched... Love you Kev...
So.Much.Nostalgia. I can never figure out if it makes me sad or happy. Dang, I miss the 90s. What a time!

I agree with Kevin, if ads were like this today, I'd watch them. Ads from the 90s through to early 2000s were WILD!
Absolutely love the non-game content almost as much as I love the game content. You’re a legend, my friend!
i’d love to see kevin react to aussie ads we’ve had some weird ones over the years
Despite having spent the first 8 years of my life in the 90s, I don’t recognize a single one of these. We’re gonna need a sequel. Also, loved the skits in this one!
OMG THE PAGEMASTER !!!!!!!
I think about this movie almost weekly, purely from the amount of times I watched it & I did in fact get a 9 in one game table from santa when I was a kid and I loved it, still have it! (too bad I was an only child and never took that into consideration)
but man now this is the quality content I subbed for, granted for some reason over half of these I don't remember, probably repressed them honestly, but man I miss the 90s
and ok try and tell me buddy lee doesn't have a kevin vibe-
" *_CallMeKevin is CallMeKevin in CallMeKevin_* "
i, for one, feel privileged to be able to witness kevin's further decent into madness
I was born in the 80s and I remember a lot of these commercials. It's so nostalgic. Thanks for the serotonins Keven.
OMG!!!! YES!! I HAD THAT POOL TABLE/"AIR" HOCKEY TABLE/PING PONG TABLE AT 15:44!!! IT WAS SO FUN! Man, ALL the neighborhood kids would come over to play that and jump on our trampoline!
13:11 "Joystick Johnny" is Sam Huntington, who also played Ox in "Not Another Teen Movie".
Early 2000s commercials next? It’s crazy to see the evolution over the years.
I loved the Squeeze drinks as a kid. You'd twist the top off, and then jam it under your upper lip to make "fangs."
Another commercial I loved were the ones for Creepy Crawlers. Also that Hot Wheels one where it had a monster the cars drove through, and his eyeball would pop out. At the end of the commercial, he'd say in a creepy voice, "I've got my eye out for YOU!"
The '90s were an awesome time to be a kid, as far as toys and commercials go. Laser tag and roller blades... and with home laser tag kits, you could do laser tag WHILE roller blading!
Ahh the 90's, a simpler time when the internet hadnt take host of every part of life 🤣. They were the best time to be a kid. Kev please do a review of Ren and Stimpy. . . Best show ever. . .
2:23 I Just really cried on that scene because my mom on pictures had her hair like this when she was Young. Kevin, you are a nostalgic Genius
Welcome to my childhood everybody. It was indeed scary. It was indeed a fever dream.
Edit: Kevin’s face at 5:55 really made my day
LMFAO
lmao fucking same dude. Scrolled for this comment.
I'm from the 90s (97), and as nostalgic the graphics are. Most of these adverts have scared me to my core xD
I also giggled quite a lot during this video
I love your humour, Kevin. It's one of many things that had me watching almost every video of yours since you called yourself RTGame and made poop volcanoes. And it's not even scripted most of the time because the streams are full of jokes and on the fly humour as well! You're an entertainment genius, Kevin. Thank you :)
As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s i really loved this video please do more.
Oh man, I recognized that Bubble Tape commercial immediately. And the Muppet Babies. The 90s was definitely a strange time to be a teen. From riding bikes in the dirt to internet in a decade.
I was born in the 90s but I still remember going from mud pies and VHS tapes to asking a parent before going online to my first cell phone and my aunt making me cry because she kept texting me even tho my parents didn't pay for texts and I didn't want to be in trouble lol
@@msjkramey This sort of thing reminds me how time in a way kinda moved diferently depending of the country. I was born at the turn of the century but i also remenber the transition betwen VHS and DVD and the ensuing dissapearance of stores that rented them. Plus how cellsphones went from those clunky, small ones with tons of bottons to the huge tactiles ones of today in the span of a few years. Stuff that must have happened earlier in the so called "first world" came around several years later and, by consequence, it all happened much faster. Like the change of cellphones happened between the late 2000s and early 2010s and i got my first computer in 2009, which wasnt all that diferent from my current computer (though, being honest, my current one isnt all that modern either, its around seven years old).
@@pedrovallefin8406 that's interesting. Where are you from?
@@msjkramey From Argentina. Before cellphones became common and everyone have access to the internet, it seemed like down here we were always a decade behind the "first world" in one way or the other.
Thank you for continuing to give me laughter, and serotonin. It is definitely needed and I am glad I can always count on your content if, and when, I need it.
Is it sad to say, I have been patiently waiting for Kevin to do a 90's related video, now I can feel new experiences of nostalga and reopened terrors 😂😊🎉
Kevin watching the AVGN is like some weirdly pleasant fever dream.
Came for the sick ref
Thought the same!! Kinda wouldn't mind him doing reacts to AVGN!
Really missed the more diverse content on the channel, thanks Kevin
This L kid obviously doesn't watch the video and relies on the title, always rushes to say a comment expecting he will get likes 😂
@The Pebble what's with the toxicity dude?
@@baguettemboi idk what's wrong with him, he keeps replying me things like this every single time I comment here, dude must be obsessed with me or something lmao
@PeteyThePenguin Thanks. That's what I've been doing lately lmao
This one was a blast from the past. Thanks Kevin. Your videos always make my day...Maybe you can also take us back to 80s, 70s, 60s...back to the first ad ever.
This is a top tier breakdown, Kevin is a 90’s genius.
Good thing those old AVGN videos are still around teaching kids today how awesome the Power Glove was.
I remember these. 🖤The 90’s were my teen years.
This brought back SO many memories from my childhood. The 90s were just over the top with every product lol.
I remember almost all of these commercials. Fun trip down memory lane. Now I feel old haha
Man this video made me miss the 90s so much. Please do another video like this again.
So I was born in 1979. I was a teenager when most of these ads came out. I have to say, it feels a little weird to see someone born after most of them were made react to them like it's this bizarre nonsense from a bygone age (I mean, it IS, but I remember all of those distinctly). What a time to be alive, the 1990s. I wish I could go back there and do something radical again.
I was born in 74 but my brother's kids were 90s kids and I babysat them and remember many of these ads. The very first PC I bought had windows 95 so that was a trip down memory lane. The Mentos ads are iconic too.
Born in 86 and remember all of these c commercials growing up. On 4:14 I remember there was like a PSA commercial bump of Lou Albano as Mario talking about drugs and you will go to hell if you did and it was on Philly 57 (I grew up in Philadelphia area). That stuck me for years about it till Nostalgic Critic did a video about it.
This was an AWESOME change-up had me laughing and nostalgic thanks Kev 🤙
Watching cursed ads is one of my favorite hobbies and I can't believe one of my favorite RUclipsrs is reacting to them! Love it!
3:41 Kevin is attacked by a rogue rubber band
13:32 I was trying not to burst out laughing in the car repair lobby, this killed me 🤣 and no not because I was the hostage that Kevin’s sniper shot on accident
7:55 NOTHING could've prepared me for the next shot
I love watching commercial compilations! This is perfect!
I always feel compelled to press the like button the moment Kevin tells me to do so. Am I cultified?
Yep. You have officially been indoctrinated.
Yes. Jim Pickens welcomes you
I relate. And if the button is already pressed when Kevin tells me to press it, I press it again.
Obey the Dear Leader, he leads us to genius.
sometimes the video is that good that i go to press it again further in the video forgetting ive already pressed it..
Those commercials are so trippy, I haven't seen those ones. The ones I would see on TV were mostly toys and cartoon commercials. On that note you should react to more retro ads, like Fox Kids or Teletoon (or whatever TV channel specific ads). I think that would really take us down memory lane. Or even brand ads, like Jack in the Box was hilarious. OORRR you could even react to Canadian commercials, like the house hippo, it would be funny to see your reactions to them.
That joystick Johnny sketch was absolute gold!
Kevin's reaction to buddy lee was maybe the most realistic reaction ive ever seen in any youtube video
They didn't age poorly, they're still awesome.
I remember the sun fizz ad. It was probably one of the best ads the 90's created. Sprite was completely unhinged. 🤣
_🎶Zack, Zack, he's a LEGO Maniac!🎶_
That's the earliest LEGO commercial I remember lol
As a millennial, I appreciate this because this is nostalgia crack. Especially those mentos commercials. That was elementary school for me 🤣 and I legit had that star Colgate as a kid. I forgot how literally everything was anthropomorphic haha
Kevin having his mind blown by a 90s toothpaste commercial had "Jerma yelling at a geode" vibes
Is this going to be a series? If so I’m so looking forward to seeing more!!
You should do an entire video reacting to PSAs from the 90s..... those were next level.... especially Canadian ones....
I bet Kevin would love the super mario super show. I watched it as a kid and it was utter chaos lol, I remember distinctly thr one where there was the fountain of youth and the characters turned to babies or something. Probably one of the more mild ones bc I only had one DVD of a couple episodes
Oh man, don't watch it today. The cartoon is still pretty fun, but the live action parts def don't hold up to our imagination.
Well if you don't then you are just a goomba.
@Piperbird I had a version where there wasn't any live action bits actually and I haven't ever seen one
@@smollmoth6376 Really! Yeah, when the show ran back in the 90s, the first 5 minutes or so and the last 5 minutes would have a live action Mario and Luigi, and they'd get into dumb situations. Then the cartoon was in the middle. I think on Fridays it was a Legend of Zelda cartoon instead of Mario Brothers.
@@piperbird7193 really? That is weird, I didn't know they were that long I thought they were just like intros or something.
That content cop theme really does take me back lmao
I was born in 83. The commercials of my childhood are definitely super weird.
I'm a wee bit older than Kevin. When I started using RUclips, James Rolfe was the shit! It was amazing seeing you reference AVGN and the power glove. It was an awesome meme after James made that video.
You should do one of these with British adverts. Some of those were really weird!
This was so fun, but also if you go back, I would love for you to comment on the late 80s/early 90s "Milk does a body good" ads. They were....interesting to say the least.
(Authentic 90s kid) We tend to think of trends changing from decade to decade, but the early 90s was vastly different from the late 90s. As a kid in the early 90s and a teen in the late 90s, here's what I remember:
I don't personally really remember any of these commercials personally, but the trippy bubble tape commercial (which I would buy a lot) was indicative of how early marketing to kids was like. Skateboarding (and surfing) were the ultimate cool in the early to mid 90s. Mostly the early half. Rap music was also pretty tame in the early 90s. I don't remember hearing any modern rap until 95-96 or so with 2Pac, Notorious BIG, Wu-Tang clan, Puff Daddy. I remember Nirvana showing up around 93-94 and kicking off their style of rock which became dominant alongside rap and r&b. Backstreet Boyz came out very late 90s and started the new boy band/girl band craze.
Comics were niche still and anti-heroes, ultra muscular art being most popular but nearly all of the movie super heroes were still around in comic books since they mostly go back to the 60s. When super-heroes made it to the movies they were all very very terrible, but the 90s Spider-Man and X-Men (pre X-men Evolution) were very successful despite terrible animation.
Action stars and movies with Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Seagal, and Bruce Willis were still popular in the early 90s but that carried over from the 80s.
Video games were very restricted in the early 90s. Mortal Kombat featuring blood was a HUGE controversy (which is hilarious if you compare the first game to the modern ones!), and I remember having to use a cheat code to enable blood on Genesis but I think it was uncensored in arcades. The government complained about it a lot. For consoles I went from NES to Sega Genesis. Of all video games I played in the early/mid 90s, these I played I remember the MK games, Street Fighter 2, Sonic games, Doom games, Warcraft 2, Shadowrun, and X-Men 2: Clone Wars the most. Video games felt like they were all hard mode back then and they didn't have an easy mode. There weren't any save files so you had to either remember a password to skip levels (if the devs were nice enough to have them) or play straight from the beginning. Saves did not come until Nintendo 64 and Playstation. Video games were not on CDs until the Playstation or the failure that was Sega CD.
The only people who had a cell phone back then when they came out were important businessmen and they only made phone calls. Pagers were also used, which was just a small pocket-sized device that told you the number or name of someone that called you. TVs (and computer monitors) were fat, heavy, and had poorer quality than today. They weren't in a widescreen format even though movie theaters were. Movies were made in widescreen still and had to be cropped for TV. Cassette and VHS tapes were the norm until you started to see music CDs and video DVDs in the very late 90s, though they would be released together until the mid-2000s or so. It wasn't weird to not have a home PC and nobody I knew (including myself) had internet until very late 90s. We had computer classes in school but had no internet. We mostly just learned how to use them, type, and use a few programs. If we were lucky, we got to mess around on Paint or play Oregon Trail (where I always failed to cross a river) or another educational game. When I got internet, I only knew websites by seeing them advertised on TV, and images took a minute or more to load on dial-up. You're gonna have to wait for an animated GIF, and maybe come back later for that video clip. Few websites had ads, and the only ads you'd see were banner ads on the top or bottom of the page. It made more sense to go to a library to learn about something than hope to find it online, so we were all dumb back then. This explains old people btw.
I just want to know how Kevin looked to see if Windows 92 was a real thing and came back with “yes”
Kev watching old commercias and checking out an AVGN video AAANNNDDD old nick commercials really brings me back, nostalgia overload.
