That art "school" actually ended operations in 2018. They had a long life, originally starting in 1914 though. I love commercial reactions (one of my favorite streamers actually does a weekly watch-along to 80s ads), so please give us more!
The difference between British and American high schools...in the movies and on television adult actors were frequently used to portray teenagers in the US. I don't know about Britain, but I suspect the comparisons would be somewhat meaningless.
Tom Smith they’re actually quite different and more difficult generally speaking. We don’t catch up in America until after our second year in university.
Yes, please! I moved from London to LA when I was fifteen and got to skip my GCSE’s AND do two and a half years of American high school. And it was in the 90s! Honestly it was like I’d died one day and woke up in ‘Clueless’ or Sweet Valley High!
I remember watching the pilot episode when i was...maybe 10...ish? As the trailer showed was a cheap power rangers nock-off with tattoo feti...I mean theme. Emphasis on the Cheap. the fight scenes and special effects were so bad they made Power Rangers Season 1 look like it was choreographed by John Woo.
Somehow, I never heard of it either, despite the fact that it ran on NBC from 1994-1995. Oh, wait, _now_ I know why I missed it. I graduated from college in 1992, and stopped watching Saturday morning TV, because so much of it had been taken over by sports and reality shows (and Power Rangers knockoffs). Surprisingly, it got 40 episodes.
Damm I watched tv and and werid so fi fandom stuff. Though most class if Sifi or old who as in Dr who Star Wars movies and of the. Star tracks etc. Weren't werid stuff iam talking kids and teen tv shows on reg tv and cable. And I think I was busy still trying to catch any Saturday morning cartoons I could still on Fox or ABC and and what was upn and the cws first incarnation the WB network. Boy those were the days b4 I could see cable regularly grow up to get and afford it and get to see the cartoon network and Disney xd and Nick toons etc when ever I wanted and could just chill and turn the tv off most of the time. Man the 90s were a trip I was was also 16 at the time and had my first puppy love boyfriend etc. Cute and plantionic. Etc. In 1995 also had other stuff going on and totally missed that show thank the good Lord. Now if I can in burn lots of things I 've seen on the squidbillies on cartoon networks adult swim or that whole series I d be happy. Man Aqua teen hunger force or Aqua teen what ever. Is so much better and love Rick and Morty. Bob's burgers. And a old one from the late 90s on Primetime NBC the oblongs. Funny fact in my home town city in and in NM the whole state proper. We have and had a Bob's burgers and have for decades. Lol Ok I watch a lot of tv and stuff. But during the covid 19 horrible Ness and quarantine. It was one of the only things that has kept me sane and stay far away from the news. That really scary werid and horror stuff for me No thank you. I watch you tube viedo s about a farm sanctuary and a new resident 🦃 turkey named Cornholio and laugh and snicker and giggle remember about Beavis and Butt head and my teen age yrs and still friends. Laugh and rember good memories and times. Yep rather be werid like that than watch the news any day of the week yep. Like to stay informed yes. But not focus all on repeated bad and negative stuff all the time. Laughing is definitely better for everyone's mental health and healthy well being. Thanks take care all have a good whatever time of day and all postive good things. Bye

@@tompeled6193 Plenty of American school have uniforms tho. The only school I don't wear a uniform for is highschool, but there are tons of highschool with uniforms.
Those Folgers ads were actually groundbreaking "adverts" at the time, Lawrence. They used an entirely new approach to commercial advertising that saved the company. After being locked head-to-head with Maxwell emphasizing taste, they pulled ahead with these "brighter start to the day" ads.
The Sears ad was an attempt to corner the market on female spending that was untapped up to that point, hence "The SOFTER side of Sears". It worked, btw. Also, Folgers is pronounced with a J sound. Foljerz
@@robertgary3561 None of the big chains are thriving anymore as the market turned to online sales and brick and mortar businesses suffered accordingly, not just Sears. Macy's, JC Penny, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Kmart are all either dead or dying and Sars-Cov-2 didn't help. BUT AT THE TIME, the softer side of Sears camaign was a huge boon to the company.
I was in grad school during the 90s, so I rarely watched TV. However, I remember Sears from when I was VERY young and it was considered at that time to be a good place for shoes, school clothes--as well as hardware and appliances. It's rather disconcerting to see what it has become. Knight Rider was probably in syndication by the 90s, so that's why you saw the credits.
Ronald Malcolm .....Old Sears was great. You could outfit yourself and an entire home from there. Good stuff too.... I’m still using Kenmore cookware I purchased there 20 years ago. Performs like high-end cookware and still looks like new.
You're probably right about Knight Rider. It just barely missed the "magic number" for syndication (Knight Rider only had 90 episodes; the magic number is 100) but it was so popular that it got picked up for syndication anyway. There _was_ a "Team Knight Rider" in 1997-1998, but it tanked in the ratings so only ran for one season.
Your reaction to the Folger's coffee commercial made me want one, too. So I went and fixed myself a cup -- not Folgers, but it's the COFFEE that counts, right?
I loved the TV show Silk Stalkings, predictable and cheesy as it was. I had a huge crush on actress Mitzi Kapture. Alan Rickman was the best part of that awesome Xmas movie, Die Hard. What a treasure he was.
Omg, I was wondering about that! 😂 I remember as a kid the animal characters on a matchbook. Another longrunning ad from the 70's was the one with the American Indian and pollution. Very moving. 😥
It's too bad you missed the 1970s "Where's the beef?" commercial. That was iconic. And the 1960s had all sorts of war toy commercials. It was grand. Vietnam not so much.
I think the big ads in the 70s were alka seltzer. Plop, plop, fizz fizz? I can't believe I ate the whole thing. My mother was telling me they were funny when I was discharged from the Army.....
@@rhiahlMT the giant advertisers from the 70s that weren't allowed to advertise in the 80s were all tobacco and alcohol. "Great taste! Less filling!" And "you've come a long way, baby!"
I remember that one, and it was not bad, I would watch it during the summer months when all the other cartoons where in reruns I had already seen. speaking of remembering NBC cartoons, do you remember the 2 based on ALF, being ALF The Animated Series, and ALF Tales? I use to love those growing up.
That commercial was on the USA network. They showed syndicated shows like Knight Rider (which originally was on NBC - a broadcast channel not cable - in the 80s on Friday nights at 9pm) on a regular basis usually daily Mon-Fri (the first run of shows were done on non-cable channels.) Weekends were for Movies and/or Sports.
Art Instruction Schools closed in 2018. Charles Schulz (Peanuts) took the course and later became an instructor for them. Another instructor for them was Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Hi & Lois). I checked Wikipedia because my first thought was of the Charles Schulz connection. Some of their old print advertising is pictured in the Wikipedia entry.
I love the amazement "LOOK" on your face as each commercial comes on! You are a hoot! Oh...Squanto was made like in 1993 I think and it was filmed in Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia with a lot of British actors. "Sir George's" mole on his face would change positions throughout the film. You should see it! I have it on DVD :)
OMG the mole!!! I can’t believe someone else noticed that!!! I saw it when I was about 14 and noticed that but I thought all these years that I had just concocted that in my mind! Wow!
USA was essentially the cable version of that back in the 90s. That’s why the end credits of Knight Rider showed up in that complication-they were showing 10-year old reruns.
The legal one probably didn't have voices at the time because it was considered really tacky to advertise legal practices but add voice it was extra tacky. There's a Better Call Saul episode where they bring it up.
Personal injury lawyers don't rise to that level of shame. Once the Supreme Court opened up the floodgates in the late 1970s, lawyer commercials were everywhere.
Awww man. Squanto. I remember that movie. He's shipped off to England but escapes and some monks nurse him back to health and get him on a ship back to America. Man, I just got punched with nostalgia.
A few thoughts: 1. Though your reactions were enjoyable I would have recommended a different set of commercials. 2. I do remember VR Troopers. Never watched it. But I remember it. As well as Big Bad Beetle Borgs. 3. Die Hard is much better than The Santa Clause.
Hi there! Hey when you're doing another one of those comparing U.S. to Britain videos and to compare customer service. I had an extraordinarily bad experience at the Manchester airport which almost caused me to miss my plane. A cousin even told me that there is an Enterprise car rental ad that says they have "American Customer Service"
I watch your videos then watch more of your videos and the content is funny enough to go back and watch the episode o already watched and watch them again and repeat. Being from the midwest alot of your content hits home with me. Thx 4 ur hard work
No, but coffees grown at higher elevations tend to be of much better quality. I'll let you decide if Folgers is actually finding these better coffees... Mountain-grown here is just a marketing term. Probably akin to cage-free eggs or all-natural.
One of the best 90s commercials was the Taco Bell commercial promoting the rerelease of 'Godzilla". In it , the Taco🔔 chihuahua cones into the scene saying "come lizard lizard lizard🦎" and Godzilla's shadow is seen. My mom thought Godzilla was cute.
@@alanlee1355 Apparently not, because they advertise it as the longest running episodic television show. Dr Who had a huge gap from 89-05. They only have 861 episodes. Raw has been on continuously since 1993 and has 1341 episodes.
Those tattooed teenagers are a combo of Captain planet and power rangers. Such a great walk down memory lane. The 1990's when Olive Garden food tasted good and didn't break the bank.
"Like the other guy in WHAM"....... You can't describe dropping off of the face of the Earth better than that. Columbus: "I'm going to sail west to find the new world!" Nay-Sayers: " Don't do it! You'll end up like the other guy in WHAM!"
Where he learned how to speak English. When he made it back to the America's he was providentially there to help the Pilgrims communicate with the Iocal Indian tribes.
I don't know if they still have Vidal Sassoon but I remember the commercial jingle, "if you don't look good, we don't look good , Vidal Sassoon" it was a catchy jingle. I liked the shampoo.
LOL the art school ad was a big one here for years. They used to also advertise in magazines with a "can you draw these characters?" ad with three animals you would draw and send it in and they would always say "yes you're accepted!" apparently (then you had to pay I guess). I actually sent it in as a kid once in the 80s... they said I had talent (I do but that's another story ;) ) but I didn't actually sign up. Don't think my parents would have let me pay for correspondence classes for art anyhow :P
I worked at Sears for s while in the 90s. People would come in at least once a week looking for a product they’d seen in one of those ads. They were VERY effective. People would even sing the jingle coming in the store.
"I love low budget car ads" - You need to watch a Victory Auto Wreckers commercial. Longest running commercial on television IIRC - out of Bensenville IL. A true classic.
I remember when Walmart used to advertise that everything they sold was made in the USA. And that stopped because they started buying from China. Now we have everything made in China and that is disgusting. We must go back to made in the USA🙏❤🇺🇸💜
Just a small correction: We did in fact have the Sega megadrive in the states. It was the console they put out prior to the genesis. It directly competed with the NES. Also check out the megadrive commercials with The WWF wrestling star who was like a drill Sargent, great stuff!
Hey man, I was watching some of these with my niece (who is 13) and there was a commercial for a mac computer (I have always been more of a PC guy, but I had PLENTY of experience with 90s macs), and one of the selling points was that it had a floppy disk drive, or something similar. Keeping in mind, in fact, so did almost every other computer in the 90s. Anyway, my niece asked me, and this is when I knew I was getting old "what's a floppy disk"?
Haha the unforgettable music from the art school commercial 🎶 Actually, my husband and I spent a whole evening recently watching commercials from the 80s and 90s on RUclips...
It is a beautiful Saturday morning in July, 2020. I am watching a RUclips video of a Brit watching 25 year-old American TV commercials. I need to reevaluate my life.
I hardly recognized any of these. The cereal commercial ("We doctored it up!") was familiar. I thought I was going to recognize the Folger's commercial, because those were quite common when I was a kid, but in this one they didn't sing the whole jingle -- when did they stop singing the whole thing? I think I was too busy with school, for most of the nineties, to watch a lot of television, though I didn't altogether stop watching it until August of 2000. If there were a collection of eighties commercials, I'd probably recognize basically all of them.
I don’t think that Walmart country music ad ever played in NJ! One think I enjoy having lived in various states, is how different they make commercials for the same company for different markets. Like in Vermont, McDonalds would have all white people with a very white announcer. Then I’d see one from NYC where people would be all different colors and hip hop music would play.
I don't remember the movie Squanto here, either. Not that the 90s were known for "historical" films that were either any good or any sort of accuracy. The television shows were probably closer to reality than the "historical films" we had.
I remember the tobacco ("I'd walk a mile for a Camel", "Just a silly millimeter longer", "I'd rather fight than switch") and beer commercials ("From the land of sky-blue waters, Hamms, the beer refreshing") from the '60s.
Have to agree with you on The Santa Clause. I have a ton of nostalgia for it--it came out when I was 5 and became my favorite Christmas movie as a kid. But when I watch it as an adult, it just doesn't hold up anymore. I still like it (probably mostly because of how much I liked it as a kid), but it just isn't what I thought it was.
You should do the 1960s. They had cigarette commercials, breakfast cereals bragged about how much sugar they had, great stuff.
At the American History Museum in Washington DC there is a whole section about cigarette ads where they talk about how this is the brand your doctor would recommend that you smoke. I couldn't believe it!
The cereal that's SHOT FROM GUNS!!!
Yes, and the toys have mostly been discontinued due to being safety hazards. 😆
@@themoviedealers Quaker puffed oats and puffed rice. I really believed that was how they made it.
Quazy Quisp!
Anyone else chuckle at the way he said Folger’s? Lol
Foljers!
I absolutely did, I was hoping he'd notice as the commercial progressed.
Or Uncle Booauck.
I was like if he listened for the jingle he'd have heard how to pronounce it.
I was too busy singing their jingle..."the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup!"

"Baseball, hotdogs, Apple pie, and Chevrolet!" - A Comercial tune I always get stuck in my head 😂
Celtics haven't lost a game in months.
Well played...
I don't follow basketball, but I bet they have not won a game in months either, right?
Check out commercials from a regional electronics store in the Southern California area called "Federated". It's pure 1980s cocaine-fueled madness.
That commercial was on the USA network. They showed syndicated shows like Knight Rider (which originally was on NBC - a broadcast channel not cable - in the 80s on Friday nights at 9pm) on a regular basis usually daily Mon-Fri (the first run of shows were done on non-cable channels.) Weekends were for Movies and/or Sports.
Art Instruction Schools closed in 2018. Charles Schulz (Peanuts) took the course and later became an instructor for them. Another instructor for them was Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey, Hi & Lois). I checked Wikipedia because my first thought was of the Charles Schulz connection. Some of their old print advertising is pictured in the Wikipedia entry.
I could watch you react to any decade of commercial for hours, this was so entertaining and fun...and nostalgic holy cow.
This makes me so nostalgic.
I love the amazement "LOOK" on your face as each commercial comes on! You are a hoot!
Oh...Squanto was made like in 1993 I think and it was filmed in Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia with a lot of British actors.
"Sir George's" mole on his face would change positions throughout the film. You should see it! I have it on DVD :)
OMG the mole!!! I can’t believe someone else noticed that!!! I saw it when I was about 14 and noticed that but I thought all these years that I had just concocted that in my mind! Wow!
Great video. I really enjoyed your commentary and the commercials really brought back some nostalgic memories
I feel like I'm watching commercials on one of those stations that didn't run a real network. Those ads never ended, and neither do these.
USA was essentially the cable version of that back in the 90s. That’s why the end credits of Knight Rider showed up in that complication-they were showing 10-year old reruns.
Sorry, the greatest Christmas Movie of all time is "A Christmas Story". "You'll shoot your eye out!"
No Bad Santa is!!
I absolutely love "A Christmas Story". We have a full sized leg lamp and a mini-dachshund named Ralphie Parker. Best Christmas movie ever!
It was ok.
Home alone and gremlins are both better
a christmas story is wildly overrated.
I didn't watch much 90s TV . I love the 70s. Cool music, cool cars, cool TV shows, cool commercials.
The legal one probably didn't have voices at the time because it was considered really tacky to advertise legal practices but add voice it was extra tacky. There's a Better Call Saul episode where they bring it up.
I think there wasn't a voice over because At the end it said actions speak louder than words
Personal injury lawyers don't rise to that level of shame. Once the Supreme Court opened up the floodgates in the late 1970s, lawyer commercials were everywhere.
Awww man. Squanto. I remember that movie. He's shipped off to England but escapes and some monks nurse him back to health and get him on a ship back to America. Man, I just got punched with nostalgia.
The guy in the Folger's ad was William Miller, the running mate of Barry Goldwater in the 1964 presidential election.
Now do 70's and 80's commercials... There are some great/bad ones
WHERES THE BEEF!
Bud-wise-errr
The Atari 5200 Joust commercial will be mandatory in such a compilation.
Coca Cola Teach the world to sing!
like your voice soo much and this was just lil tidbits of your thoughts.
Your new space looks great. Can't wait for the next vlog.
A few thoughts:
1. Though your reactions were enjoyable I would have recommended a different set of commercials.
2. I do remember VR Troopers. Never watched it. But I remember it. As well as Big Bad Beetle Borgs.
3. Die Hard is much better than The Santa Clause.
John Candy was awesome and so funny. RIP.
Hi there! Hey when you're doing another one of those comparing U.S. to Britain videos and to compare customer service. I had an extraordinarily bad experience at the Manchester airport which almost caused me to miss my plane. A cousin even told me that there is an Enterprise car rental ad that says they have "American Customer Service"
Interesting! I’d love to hear his thoughts on this too
I watch your videos then watch more of your videos and the content is funny enough to go back and watch the episode o already watched and watch them again and repeat. Being from the midwest alot of your content hits home with me. Thx 4 ur hard work
Folgers is “mountain grown”
Isn’t all coffee grown on mountains?
yes, or supposedly.
It's toasted.
ruclips.net/video/QKcneQ6N50Q/видео.html
No, but coffees grown at higher elevations tend to be of much better quality. I'll let you decide if Folgers is actually finding these better coffees... Mountain-grown here is just a marketing term. Probably akin to cage-free eggs or all-natural.
That was fun!
React to more commercials, please.
Thank you for sharing✌💛☺
One of the best 90s commercials was the Taco Bell commercial promoting the rerelease of 'Godzilla". In it , the Taco🔔 chihuahua cones into the scene saying "come lizard lizard lizard🦎" and Godzilla's shadow is seen. My mom thought Godzilla was cute.
The chihuahua has a box trap with a stick, and I think the commercial shows Godzilla's foot, and the dog says: "I think I need a bigger box."
I'd like to see you watch American commercials from the 80s!
The Aaron Burr "Got Milk" one is one of the best, you need to look that one up.
You know Monday Night Raw is still on. I just had it on my tv for three hours. It’s the longest running episodic television show in history.
Dr. Who has been running longer than that.
@@alanlee1355 Apparently not, because they advertise it as the longest running episodic television show. Dr Who had a huge gap from 89-05. They only have 861 episodes. Raw has been on continuously since 1993 and has 1341 episodes.
Wow serious memories there. Def do a ‘70’s ‘80’s commercial vid sometime!
I still miss John Candy he was brilliant.
I'd like to see television commercials from the '60s.
Also try looking at 90's toy commercials
@Roof Korean 🤣
Those tattooed teenagers are a combo of Captain planet and power rangers. Such a great walk down memory lane. The 1990's when Olive Garden food tasted good and didn't break the bank.
"Like the other guy in WHAM".......
You can't describe dropping off of the face of the Earth better than that.
Columbus: "I'm going to sail west to find the new world!"
Nay-Sayers: " Don't do it! You'll end up like the other guy in WHAM!"
I lost it when he said "like that other guy in Wham!". It was the delivery that got me. Sublime.
If I can’t find something that I can stream on RUclips or Netflix, This is my entertainment.
Squanto actually was kidnapped and taken to England as a slave. Interesting story . I remember watching the movie with my parents .
Where he learned how to speak English. When he made it back to the America's he was providentially there to help the Pilgrims communicate with the Iocal Indian tribes.
No one has hair that good looking? Have you seen Catherine Doughty from Ask a Mortician? Her hair is flawless
Die Hard is definitely a Christmas film.
Art Instruction Schools is sadly--WAS in downtown Minneapolis, Lawrence. I wouldn't bother ringing them now.
Silk Stalkings was actually a pretty good show. I used to watch it when I was in High School / College.
I don't know if they still have Vidal Sassoon but I remember the commercial jingle, "if you don't look good, we don't look good , Vidal Sassoon" it was a catchy jingle. I liked the shampoo.
LOL the art school ad was a big one here for years. They used to also advertise in magazines with a "can you draw these characters?" ad with three animals you would draw and send it in and they would always say "yes you're accepted!" apparently (then you had to pay I guess). I actually sent it in as a kid once in the 80s... they said I had talent (I do but that's another story ;) ) but I didn't actually sign up. Don't think my parents would have let me pay for correspondence classes for art anyhow :P
John candy is a god damn treasure
He was so talented and such a kind sweet man.
Trains Planes and Automobiles was the best. One of my favorite movies.
I worked at Sears for s while in the 90s. People would come in at least once a week looking for a product they’d seen in one of those ads. They were VERY effective. People would even sing the jingle coming in the store.
I've got to say, this is more enjoyable than the top # lists. You should make another one of these that goes for an hour.
"I love low budget car ads" - You need to watch a Victory Auto Wreckers commercial. Longest running commercial on television IIRC - out of Bensenville IL. A true classic.
I remember when Walmart used to advertise that everything they sold was made in the USA. And that stopped because they started buying from China. Now we have everything made in China and that is disgusting. We must go back to made in the USA🙏❤🇺🇸💜
Is everything in your home made in America?
Agreed
Love your videos hun, thanks for being on during quarantine!
Just a small correction: We did in fact have the Sega megadrive in the states. It was the console they put out prior to the genesis. It directly competed with the NES. Also check out the megadrive commercials with The WWF wrestling star who was like a drill Sargent, great stuff!
Hey man, I was watching some of these with my niece (who is 13) and there was a commercial for a mac computer (I have always been more of a PC guy, but I had PLENTY of experience with 90s macs), and one of the selling points was that it had a floppy disk drive, or something similar. Keeping in mind, in fact, so did almost every other computer in the 90s. Anyway, my niece asked me, and this is when I knew I was getting old "what's a floppy disk"?
Music from the '60s, Lawrence. Everly Brothers, Bobby Vinton--be still my heart, Frankie Valli, Englebert, Perry Como, Vic Damone.
He’s probably heard most of these I would think, American music is popular all over the world
I know that British folks hate hearing this, but your accent is awesome lol
Haha the unforgettable music from the art school commercial 🎶 Actually, my husband and I spent a whole evening recently watching commercials from the 80s and 90s on RUclips...
It is a beautiful Saturday morning in July, 2020. I am watching a RUclips video of a Brit watching 25 year-old American TV commercials.
I need to reevaluate my life.
Everyone still misses John Candy. If you don't miss John Candy, you don't know who he is.
The 90s was the best! Thanks for the trip down memory lane
Yessss totally do more and other decades!
At one time there was an ad that said"if you or someone you know has been injured or killed on the job....call.....
I hardly recognized any of these. The cereal commercial ("We doctored it up!") was familiar. I thought I was going to recognize the Folger's commercial, because those were quite common when I was a kid, but in this one they didn't sing the whole jingle -- when did they stop singing the whole thing? I think I was too busy with school, for most of the nineties, to watch a lot of television, though I didn't altogether stop watching it until August of 2000. If there were a collection of eighties commercials, I'd probably recognize basically all of them.
This is amazing! I tip my hat to your creativity sir!
I don’t think that Walmart country music ad ever played in NJ! One think I enjoy having lived in various states, is how different they make commercials for the same company for different markets. Like in Vermont, McDonalds would have all white people with a very white announcer. Then I’d see one from NYC where people would be all different colors and hip hop music would play.
I don't remember the movie Squanto here, either. Not that the 90s were known for "historical" films that were either any good or any sort of accuracy. The television shows were probably closer to reality than the "historical films" we had.
8:59 You are absolutely right. Knight Rider was in 1982-1986. Wrong commercial for the 90's.
I always wanted to know the Wal-Mart commercial and I went to Walmart two days ago
Did you know that Law Firms, Liquor and Prescription Drugs could not be advertised on TV until the early 90's..
Diehard isn't a Christmas movie
I remember the tobacco ("I'd walk a mile for a Camel", "Just a silly millimeter longer", "I'd rather fight than switch") and beer commercials ("From the land of sky-blue waters, Hamms, the beer refreshing") from the '60s.
Have to agree with you on The Santa Clause. I have a ton of nostalgia for it--it came out when I was 5 and became my favorite Christmas movie as a kid. But when I watch it as an adult, it just doesn't hold up anymore. I still like it (probably mostly because of how much I liked it as a kid), but it just isn't what I thought it was.
