38 yr old Batman:TAS fan here. The voice reading those lines at the end credits is the character EeK! The cat. Who was a character in his own fox cartoon in the same fox kids line up. So a quick cross promotion bumper.
Old man in the comments here: The Batman animated series was popular because it was darker than any previous kid shows (TWs for abuse, suicide, drugs, mental health jump to mind), but was paired with other goofy Warner Bros shows, so their commercials could get...interesting. Contests didn't have to play by any rules except offering a free way to enter (still a rule today), so the winners were usually from near the area to save airfare, and sometimes "just so happened to be" families known by the producers, directors, etc. There's no more toys in cereal because parents complained children shouldn't be bribed to get a particular cereal (also why fast food chains aren't supposed to advertise toys in their meals anymore), followed by an attempt to stop commercials and mascots from being a thing which failed . Also, those flowers were made from scented papers, so they definitely had a smell. Not a good one (think a florist made of bug sprays and citronella), but a smell nonetheless.
Wasnt there myself, but my 40 year old fiance pitched in that the whole thing during the Batman cartoon ending credits was an ad the stations would do to advertise other shows. He said the voice was "Eek the cat" & not accurate (but still close enough), so prolly an imitator the station broadcasting the show hired to advertise the show. All of which was very common, apparently. "Either speed the credits up hyper chipmunk speed or run them at normal speed with an advertisement run over them"
EVERYTHING from the 80s into the 90s had scents. I remember when "scratch-and-sniff" microencapsulation was introduced when I was a kid. Then by the 90s, y'all had scented markers and lots of plastic toys started to be scented. It's probably part of why I want to be a perfumer now.
The diamond add, we had it in France too. Happens that it was the De Beers group that controlled most of the diamond distribution. If people bought diamond anywhere, chances are that they would have earned money. So basically no need for branding, just associate it with love and marriage in the mind of people.
Yup, literally a commercial for big diamond...no company name necessary. Just that decade's stage of convincing the masses that diamonds are more rare and valuable than they actually are. Diamonds are still a relative scam.
well the shit De Beers and several other Diamond conglomerates pulled in the 1800's is the worse .. they burried diamond mines to keep prices up and it was in the 1800's when they started conecting diamond rings to marriage . thing is in the 1800's they came upon a realization... Carbon is the 17th most common element on earth (there's alot of elements) sounds low on the lsit but it's really not. diamonds are pure carbon. Turns out in the 1800's they were discovering that diamonds, like the elemnt theya re comprised of, are pretty damn common too.. so to keep the price from plumetting on them the diamond companies did the above actions to keep prices nuts , and the also stopped mining large diamonds , when a large diamond is found now , they bust it up. but yeah diamonds would be dirt cheap were it not for these diamond corporations. they are the most common gem stone actually.
For those that don't know, "Grey Poupon" is a dijon mustard. Also the diamond commercial was a Kay Jewelers commercial. Their tagline back then was "every kiss begins with Kay" and they used to do the silhouette thing in all their commercials.
Also DeBeers didn't, need to strongly brand their commercials since in the mid 90's they controlled roughly 80% (down from 90% at their peak) of the world's diamond supply. So they just needed people to buy diamonds.
2:05 It actually did give you the brand for the diamonds commercial. It was just really tiny and at the top right at the beginning lol. It was for a jewellery store called De Beers
De Beers isn’t just a store lol they’re the conglomerate that basically single handedly controls the world’s supply of natural diamonds. They’ve got vaults full of diamonds but control how many get released into circulation to drive prices up. They’re where jewelry stores source THEIR diamonds from.
The diamond commercial says DeBeers in the top right at the beginning. Their commercials were kind of famous in the 90's, so you would see the silhouettes in diamonds, and know it was a DeBeers commercial. Family guy did a parody of it. And the voice during the Batman credits was just a promo for the cartoon Eek the cat, done by Eak the cat.
My cousin had a Fantastic Flowers kit when we were kids. Some of the materials they provided actually were scented, so they did have a smell. The same kind of smell as the scented markers we had back then.
Hi. 35 year old here. That Diamond commercial? Yeah, iirc, it was for Zales. They had all the weird "Diamonds" commercials. And they were all equally Dull, and Horribly long...
It said De Beers in the top right at the start of the commercial, so Drumsy was kinda right. De Beers have a monopoly on diamonds, the only place you can get real diamonds is through them. All stores that have diamonds buys them from De Beers, even though diamonds are actually quite common and should be quite cheap they inflate the price by only selling a certain number of them every year.
yes that was an advert for the diamond mines I'm pretty sure since diamonds as a collective are the most successful con of all time they just pretended they were rare and pumped the prices they're not that rare or special
Outside of the red green show, I refuse to have anything to do with old canadian tv... those demonic "don't put it in your mouth" puppets still haunt my dreams
2:50 there was branding... at the very beginning bottom corner. DeBeers... but branding doesnt matter. DeBeers produces over 90% of all the world's natural diamonds.
As a very late Gen X’er (’81), I can tell you Tiger Electronics were everywhere onve the NES revived the video game industry in the mid 1980s. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing, too, targeting families like mine whose parents were too poor to afford game consoles and games for them (NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, etc.). I feel both fortunate and indelibly scareed that I actually had a couple of those handhelds, Pinball and Bowling. Thankfully I would occasionally go to friends places who actually had certain game consoles and played them, as well as getting my first exposure to Sega Genesis as a member of my local Boys and Girls Club ca. 1993-1999. Why their normal handhelds were bad was A.) They all took 2× AA batteries which were not included because of course not, B.) All the ganes were were these little screens in the center with pre-drawn graphics with the shittiest animations you ever saw, C.) Most games the buttons fucking sucked at controlling the game the way you wanted them to. Let’s hust say they were far from the only products Tiger put out. If you want to know how bad they really werw, you NEED to watch the Angry Video Game Nerd episode on Tiger Electronics.
Concerning the trivia robot thing: those cassette tapes would have most likely been used as a digital storage medium instead of as audio tapes. Kind of how 80s computers would use them. That means they would probably hold data for a lot more questions than you think. The robot's voice wouldn't have been pre-recorded, it also would have been digital data that was read using a voice synthesis chip. Depending on the length of tape and the format used, they could maybe hold 500ish kb of data, which could give you a lot of questions. However, I'm sure they were more interested in selling you more tapes than maximizing how many questions they could squeeze on a single cassette.
Actually the toy is probably even simpler, without any programming. I saw they were 4 buttons. A normal audio cassette had 4 tracks, 2 sided with 2 tracks for stereo. It probably just played one track at a time and the button would change tracks. For the response to the question.
Watching this is like a nostalgia trip. The first 3 commercials I definitely remember watching. Twister, Ariel doll, the peeing doll and the Nesquik commercials I vaguely remember. And I'm certain I've seen all those batman ads. I had that fire truck from McDonald's.
Yeah that kinda bothers me. I was born in '84 so I'm a 90's kid because most of my childhood that I actually remember was in the 90's. If you were like 4 when the 90's ended, you weren't a 90's kid.
Gotta say - this is why I miss older commercials. YOU ACTUALLY GET INFORMATION. Hell, modern commercials are so far in the hole with using emotions to sell products that I can be watching some meaningful scene, not have a goddamn clue what it is, and it's a fucking Spectrum ad. Edit: 2XL was great. Also, does Peach think a cassette tape only lasted 30 seconds? Lmao
The Grey Poupon/Subway commercial with the rich guy getting out of an expensive car was a nod to the old Grey Poupon commercials. In most of the commercials, there are two rich guys being driven in Rolls-Royces while eating dinner in the back seat and one pulls up alongside the other and says in a posh British accent "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?" to which the other guy says "But of course". There are multiple versions, some where the guy gets the Grey Poupon he's looking for and some where the other guy drives away unwilling to part with any of his own. The whole dialog between the two was something of a meme in the late 80s, early 90s. The diamond commercial was a commercial for De Beers, but they don't really say the name of the company because nobody really knew who it was. They basically had a monopoly on the diamond market, or damn near, and maybe still do. In later commercials they said the name De Beers at the end.
I miss prizes in cereals so damn much! Squeezits, Classic restaurant style Pizza Hut, K-Mart, Classic Toys "R" Us, Kay Bee Toys. I am glad I grew up back then, the 2000's and 10's with the Frutiger Aero aesthetic was so chill and great too!
Hey dump truck (big dumpy/drumsy,lil dumpy/peach)I twisted my ankle today and I just wanna say this video made me laugh so much, thank you for being the light to my day. Even if you don’t see this, know you are the greatest RUclipsrs ever! Keep up the hard work❤!
This was my first time watching a video from your channel. I hope that you eventually have a series that just you two watching retro commercials. Might as well do Christmas commercials this month.
It is my opinion that reason they quit putting prizes in cereal boxes is because kids weren't smart enough to not eat tide pods, therefore they weren't smart enough not to eat the prizes. Where as the pervious statement was a joke, kinder eggs were banned in the USA pretty much because parents were afraid kids would eat the toys.
For those that didn't catch it in the first video. Subway used to cut their subs differently. I believe they called it the C-cut, and if you get lucky you can still request it at some Subways. I used to love the old way to cut their subs, but it was a slower process, so they have since changed to the normal cut they use today.
I was born in 1989, so I probably remember most of these 90’s commercials. The voice in the credits was a common thing to advertise the show that would come on next after show got over. This video you’re reacting to seemed like mostly commercials from 1992.
Was just about to say the same thing! Rich Koz had a kids' TV block on WFLD back in the 90s called "The Koz Zone" that I used to watch all the time as a kid. It was mostly cartoons with him doing skits and songs and stuff during commercial breaks.
Born in 89 here. Didn't know I was older than you kiddos. Anyway toys in the 90s pooped, peed, farted, bled, and oozed snot. Used to be a board game where you picked a nose lol. But also after the 90s most our toys. After the 90s our toys got banned and taken off the market due to safety hazards. Whether due to toxicity, burns, or the toys just lacerating us. Growing up in the 90s was a warzone with the toys (even had a move about a war with a bunch of toys lol) you two missed out being born post 95.
My brother’s 2-XL is still at our parents house. He listened to tapes, besides the two tapes that he got with the robot. It was a great way to learn when we didn’t have the internet.
Honestly, I loved Kix as well as a kid. Without sugar. Just milk. I'm not really sure why. We had other options like Fruit Loops and such. But after Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Kix was my favorite cereal growing up.
I don't remember the Berry Berry Kix commercial, but I was definitely eating them at the time. I liked regular Kix, my mom didn't make us eat anything we didn't like. She didn't buy Wheat Chex or Corn Flakes, because my older brothers already didn't like them. And she never bought Grape-Nuts. My older half-brother told me that his mom would buy them, and that they sucked.
23:54 Blast Processing was a completely fictional thing Sega created for their ad campaign. They claimed their system had "Blast Processing which the SNES didn't have," when in reality it's not an actual thing. The SNES had better sound, but both processors were fairly similar.
Hey Drumsy! Watched this video and wanted to let you know, I won a sweepstakes from KidsWB, so yeah, people do win from those things. I won a Pokemon sweepstakes and was one of the only people in America to own the Pokemon, Celebi, at the time.
I remember when Lucky Charms only had pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons and green clovers. I was envious of you kids who got blue diamonds and purple horseshoes. WMMR wasn't in my market, but I got to hear it occasionally.My friends who went to U. Penn used to go around imitating "WMMR...rocks!...Phillllll....uhh...DEL!....phia"
My sister had the toy at 6:34. You guys are right that the paper is just paper, but the center plastic pegs that held the petals to the stems were lightly floral scented, so that's how that worked.
I still remember 90s commercials. But what I really liked were 80s commercials! I guess because I was even younger and I remember them through a kid's eyes
Eek! The Cat was a great show. It was later paired with another cartoon called The Terrible Thunderlizards, in which dinosaurs armed with military equipment try to kill a a bumbling caveman inventor and the suicidal maniac friend always trying to kill him as well. I'm not kidding.
They should have done the Advil commercial instead of Tylenol. It was just more Iconic. It went something like... two clips of people suffering with migrain. then the relief shots followed by an image of Advil Asprin and the motto, "Advil Because it works" which I think later changed to "Advil, the headache medicine"
It used to be that afternoon programing had local affiliates "host" the shows. So in between commercial breaks or TV shows they'd have the local host hype the next show or have tie-ins to local advertisers. The Fox affiliate that aired on channel 32 was that guy with "funny" voices. These were all from the same TV station. Also, the diamond cartel is global a phenomenon, they don't have competitors they just have to get people to buy diamonds. De Beers Group is the only game in town.
You all wanna know something funny 1996 was actually the year Gen Z became a thing pretty much. So that means all the people you see nowadays talking about Gen Z as if they are kids/teens. Actually fail to realise that older Gen Z’s are getting close to their 30s.
The fact someone thought it was a good idea to have a cartoon character of an adult saying kids were after his lucky charms still baffles me, and I grew up in the eighties and nineties. Of course I didn't know better as a kid, as a teen it just seemed funny, as an adult I realized there had to be a problem there.
10:05 We need to animate that Count Chocula impression from Drumsy becuase all i could think about is Count Chocula saying that on 90's T.V with like the Radio Fliter from Voice Mod.
Boring in 96. And I remember seeing some of these back in the end of the 90s to mid 2000’s. and these adds are pure coke energy. I found 2 old Kelloggs dvds at a thrift store. That I use to have as a kid. For the mask and Alice in wonderland.
19:44 they made a massive version of this fog for the Barbie movie and it pooped too. Honestly if I could steal a prop from that movie it would be that dog.
I instantly started singing the Fantastic Flowers song. Memory unlocked. I haven't had Kix in so long. Eek the Cat sucked or maybe I just was too old for it. Tiger Electronic games were for us poor kids who's parents couldn't afford Game Boys. Though I did eventually get a Sega Game Gear.
A 9:40 I was so invested and locked in, then I heard that gem, and went to Peach's page and realized she has an OF and immediately opened the video explaining it with "I'm a cis white woman and have a ton of privilege and hold up beauty standards and..." Damn. So close...
Originally Twister was actually a Party Game for ADULTS, intentionally playing to the fact that unintentionally bumping uglies was a possibility when busting put Twister at the Office Christmas Party.
Diamonds were a monopoly under a few companies who were in a non-competition state. Ads could be just for diamonds as a concept and any sales would easily reimburse the company. Remember that Diamonds that are put on rings are actually the worthless ones found in a lot of areas in huge quantities and ironically they are the weak diamonds and certainly not forever.

Where as the pervious statement was a joke, kinder eggs were banned in the USA pretty much because parents were afraid kids would eat the toys.
For those that didn't catch it in the first video. Subway used to cut their subs differently. I believe they called it the C-cut, and if you get lucky you can still request it at some Subways. I used to love the old way to cut their subs, but it was a slower process, so they have since changed to the normal cut they use today.
Eck the cat was the weirdest cartoon on Fox Kids back in the day. It was super funny thought.
I was born in 1989, so I probably remember most of these 90’s commercials.
The voice in the credits was a common thing to advertise the show that would come on next after show got over.
This video you’re reacting to seemed like mostly commercials from 1992.
The random RuneScape noise dropped in at 4minutes. Bravo.
When you were born in 77 and still watch Drumsy videos.
23:32 HOLY SH*T, IT'S SVENGOOLIE!
Glad someone noticed.
Was just about to say the same thing! Rich Koz had a kids' TV block on WFLD back in the 90s called "The Koz Zone" that I used to watch all the time as a kid. It was mostly cartoons with him doing skits and songs and stuff during commercial breaks.
Born in 89 here. Didn't know I was older than you kiddos. Anyway toys in the 90s pooped, peed, farted, bled, and oozed snot. Used to be a board game where you picked a nose lol. But also after the 90s most our toys. After the 90s our toys got banned and taken off the market due to safety hazards. Whether due to toxicity, burns, or the toys just lacerating us. Growing up in the 90s was a warzone with the toys (even had a move about a war with a bunch of toys lol) you two missed out being born post 95.
17:03 imagine how they would’ve reacted to the honeycomb commercials featuring the craving
My brother’s 2-XL is still at our parents house. He listened to tapes, besides the two tapes that he got with the robot. It was a great way to learn when we didn’t have the internet.
Honestly, I loved Kix as well as a kid. Without sugar. Just milk. I'm not really sure why. We had other options like Fruit Loops and such. But after Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Kix was my favorite cereal growing up.
I don't remember the Berry Berry Kix commercial, but I was definitely eating them at the time. I liked regular Kix, my mom didn't make us eat anything we didn't like. She didn't buy Wheat Chex or Corn Flakes, because my older brothers already didn't like them. And she never bought Grape-Nuts. My older half-brother told me that his mom would buy them, and that they sucked.
23:54 Blast Processing was a completely fictional thing Sega created for their ad campaign. They claimed their system had "Blast Processing which the SNES didn't have," when in reality it's not an actual thing. The SNES had better sound, but both processors were fairly similar.
I'm 40 and I still spill my milk sometimes
Hey Drumsy! Watched this video and wanted to let you know, I won a sweepstakes from KidsWB, so yeah, people do win from those things. I won a Pokemon sweepstakes and was one of the only people in America to own the Pokemon, Celebi, at the time.
I remember when Lucky Charms only had pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons and green clovers. I was envious of you kids who got blue diamonds and purple horseshoes.
WMMR wasn't in my market, but I got to hear it occasionally.My friends who went to U. Penn used to go around imitating "WMMR...rocks!...Phillllll....uhh...DEL!....phia"
The “He sent us a signal!” guy is a Chicago local legend. His name is Rich Koz. Better known as Svengoolie!
M.C.G.A
Make Cereal Great Again!
My sister had the toy at 6:34. You guys are right that the paper is just paper, but the center plastic pegs that held the petals to the stems were lightly floral scented, so that's how that worked.
I’m an ‘86 baby and remember almost every one of these commercials…I’m so old
little dumpy is already ingrained into who you are
I still remember 90s commercials. But what I really liked were 80s commercials! I guess because I was even younger and I remember them through a kid's eyes
Hi 1980 baby here. The voice at the end of Batman was advertising the next show. It used to do that a lot in the 90s
Eek! The Cat was a great show. It was later paired with another cartoon called The Terrible Thunderlizards, in which dinosaurs armed with military equipment try to kill a a bumbling caveman inventor and the suicidal maniac friend always trying to kill him as well. I'm not kidding.
They should have done the Advil commercial instead of Tylenol. It was just more Iconic. It went something like... two clips of people suffering with migrain. then the relief shots followed by an image of Advil Asprin and the motto, "Advil Because it works" which I think later changed to "Advil, the headache medicine"
It used to be that afternoon programing had local affiliates "host" the shows. So in between commercial breaks or TV shows they'd have the local host hype the next show or have tie-ins to local advertisers. The Fox affiliate that aired on channel 32 was that guy with "funny" voices. These were all from the same TV station.
Also, the diamond cartel is global a phenomenon, they don't have competitors they just have to get people to buy diamonds. De Beers Group is the only game in town.
My sister had the pooping dog growing up
You all wanna know something funny 1996 was actually the year Gen Z became a thing pretty much.
So that means all the people you see nowadays talking about Gen Z as if they are kids/teens. Actually fail to realise that older Gen Z’s are getting close to their 30s.
The diamond commercial was an entire series. De Beers Diamond was the brand. You just knew.
Curse you for that Honey Comb commercial, that used to get stuck in my head all the time and it's back living rent free in my head.
Was hoping for a Crossfire commercial. Oh well, still a good video.
How DARE RUclips HIDE THIS FROM ME FOR A WHOLE MINUTE
The fact someone thought it was a good idea to have a cartoon character of an adult saying kids were after his lucky charms still baffles me, and I grew up in the eighties and nineties.
Of course I didn't know better as a kid, as a teen it just seemed funny, as an adult I realized there had to be a problem there.
10:05 We need to animate that Count Chocula impression from Drumsy becuase all i could think about is Count Chocula saying that on 90's T.V with like the Radio Fliter from Voice Mod.
Drumsy: It's hard to open up
Peach: I open up everyday.
Okay peach, I see what you did there.
These kids about to learn the joke behind so many Family Guy Funny Moments.
Boring in 96. And I remember seeing some of these back in the end of the 90s to mid 2000’s. and these adds are pure coke energy. I found 2 old Kelloggs dvds at a thrift store. That I use to have as a kid. For the mask and Alice in wonderland.
19:44 they made a massive version of this fog for the Barbie movie and it pooped too. Honestly if I could steal a prop from that movie it would be that dog.
Let's get this channel to 100k subscribers.
I had a 2-XL! It was pretty fun. There was a surprising amount of content on the tapes.
The daily double by me is like $3.29
$3.99 where I am at.
I love these 😁. I grew up on 90s commercials 😁.
I remember that diamond, twister and nesquick commercials lol..also peach is so pretty lol
I instantly started singing the Fantastic Flowers song. Memory unlocked. I haven't had Kix in so long. Eek the Cat sucked or maybe I just was too old for it. Tiger Electronic games were for us poor kids who's parents couldn't afford Game Boys. Though I did eventually get a Sega Game Gear.
A 9:40 I was so invested and locked in, then I heard that gem, and went to Peach's page and realized she has an OF and immediately opened the video explaining it with "I'm a cis white woman and have a ton of privilege and hold up beauty standards and..."
Damn. So close...
I saw a add in 2024 where you got to watch the baby’s give birth
Funny old vids from my childhood. Love it...
Originally Twister was actually a Party Game for ADULTS, intentionally playing to the fact that unintentionally bumping uglies was a possibility when busting put Twister at the Office Christmas Party.
Correct. Today’s girls also enjoy Twister (board game) at sleepover parties (along with Girl Talk, 300 Wishes and Cover to Cover).
@TotallyLincoln-u1x Eyup, eventually there was a demographic switch, cuz before puberty Twister is just really wacky and tricky pff
A&W gave us the best commercial ever in the 90's. It was the job interview. If you know, you know.
You guys made my night with these reactions 😂❤🎉
Diamonds were a monopoly under a few companies who were in a non-competition state. Ads could be just for diamonds as a concept and any sales would easily reimburse the company. Remember that Diamonds that are put on rings are actually the worthless ones found in a lot of areas in huge quantities and ironically they are the weak diamonds and certainly not forever.
