I’ve watched 20 hours of these and I’ve concluded that in order for it to be a 90s commercial you need: 1. Dutch angles 2. A toll-free number 3. Someone in a suit 4. Movie trailer VO 5. Dave Thomas
I think the same thing every time I watch these kinds of videos. Do you think it's because we're just getting old and miss the days when we were younger, or are things really that bad? Personally, I think things are really freaking bad, but I do miss those days lol.

I to this day still have no idea how these Columbia house CD things work. Now I just go to the retro video/music store and get the "mystery" grab bag for $20. Seems more straight forward.
It's weird to see some of these commercials. They seem like they were just on the yesterday. Yet it's not yesterday...it's 22 years ago, and it looks old.
I was finishing high school back in '99, i remember the Y2K scare as well! Being born in 1980, I'm the last old school generation before the new millennium and social media lol
Sports Authority, County Seat, Structure, Merry-Go-Round (lol), Record Town, Tape World, Sam Goody, Service Merchandise, and back when Olive Garden was a halfway decent place to eat. Now it's just awful in every way imaginable...that also goes for 90% of other restaurants as well.
Thank you Dave, loved the Columbia House add you showed, I got sucked into that with tapes, bunch of crooks! I remember some of the adds, I was working a lot during the time and did not watch much TV though. Great job as always my friend:)
It's even worse when you try to re-sell them. A few weeks ago, I bought a ton of CDs from a Yard Sale, hoping to flip them on one of those selling apps. I kept getting an error message saying they wouldn't take them even though they were in great condition. Then I noticed on one of the CDs that the barcode had a BMG copyright on it (BMG, I believe, was what Columbia House turned into in the early 2000s). Long story short, about 80 of the CDs I bought had that BMG barcode, so I couldn't sell them on an app or at a Used CD store--ebay was my only hope, and I was lucky to break even. Moral of the Story: Columbia House (and all Record clearing houses for that matter) SUCKS!
@@PIXPromosMore True, and I'm sorry for your bad pick at a yard sale. That company was the scurge of the land back then. If you still go to yard sales, look for banned LP's, they bring more $:)
@@RicArmstrong He wasn't completely unknown in 1999. He was known at least within the skateboarding world from certain films including Bam Margera's CKY videos. He probably was doing auditions for commercials and/or was being scouted in the entertainment industry. This wasn't long before Jackass.
Just watching to try to get a small taste of my childhood home life with my amazing dad... He passed last year, we would always watch TV after a great hike or something. Just a taste...
Crazy....just noticed Johnny Knoxville in a Coors Light commercial before he decided to do the Jackass stuff. Obviously if acting doesn't pan out, viral videos will get ya famous!
Back in 1999 Columbia House was still sending threatening letters to my parents' house demanding that Mr. Phil McCracken make good on his deal to purchase the remaining CD's at regular club prices from that deal signed in 1992. Phil was an elusive fellow.
BMG was just as bad. My friend would use me as his "referral" and pick garbage CDs for me so he could get the free CDs for signing someone else up. They called me to collect on them and I simply asked the lady, "do you really think a 21 year old male actually ordered TLC and Ace of Base on their own?"
I remember my dad using those Reynolds hot bags on the grill and them shits melted and caught fire real easy. A lot of burned corn and veggies at the dinner table in the 90s.
Who else was only a mere five years old during that wild, crazy year? I didn't even start Kindergarten back then (cuz my folks held me back a year, for some reason).
It blows my mind, many things changed the world within first 15 years of my life. Fall of the Berlin Wall, Chernobyl, challenger shuttle exploding, first trade center attack, Dallas Cowboys were actually a good team lol, grunge era🤘🏻, Oklahoma bombing... September 11th 2001.... that’s where it all changed.
Your phone processor in 2020 is far superior to that Intel 3 Pentium processor. Lol. Mindblowing. And your memory storage is 1000 times larger. If not more.. All in your palm. We knew pcs would advance. But we didnt think wed see it come this far this fast. To have the power we do in our pockets... It means its only going to speed up now. What took 20 years. We did in 10 years in the 90s... And now its done in a month or less. In the early 2000s computers became obsolete the very second they hit the shelf for sale and nothing has changed it continues to be that way today put on a scale exponentially greater
2:20 Is that Salma Hayek in the Revlon mascara commercial? I also thought that Johnny Knoxville was Josh Duhamel until I saw the comments and were like, oh right, that is Johnny Knoxville and not Josh Duhamel.
I was a senior in hs. Is it just me or were people better looking? Something in the water, the air, the food, we just aren’t the same anymore. Cars never got more reliable. Tv’s got flatter and cheaper, but not really better. We exchanged all our rights to fight for “freedom.” We’ve been had... that was back when we still had a chance. Now we are so lost in the matrix there’s no way out. If somebody told me our choice of president in 20 years would be Donald Trump or some clown with a mask on, we could have prevented this it wasn’t supposed to end up here. I can’t say why or how but I just know we went the wrong way, this isn’t the future we were promised as kids.
