There's something so comforting about a brutalmoose video.
EDIT: Flintstones vitamins are delicious and your distaste of them is heresy. I am no longer comforted.
Yes.... yes there is.
agree on both points
Agree to disagree about the latter
I remember those Flintstone vitamins triggering my gag reflex because they tasted so bad
Tell million strong....and growing!
You're probably the only person on RUclips that I get genuinley excited for when they post something. I really wish this video was longer
Right? that was a fast 19 minutes.
lol sooon he's going to release a 3hr video sooon
Hear here!

It's weird to think that back in the day people hated these commercials and wanted to skip them to watch the main program, but now people buy random boxes of VHS tapes to skip the shows and seek out the commercials.
commercials are a time capsule of who the people in that time wanted in life
I know, I'm mad at my young self now for skipping all the commercials on my VHS's.
@Frizzurd Yet you'll find that the "retro spectrum" will keep moving forward. When I first discovered YT in 2006, it was all about the 1980s, with the '90s still a hated decade at that point. A decade for now, we'll be seeing commentary on Razr cellphones, iPhone 1-3, social media apps, ringtone rappers, freecreditreport.com ads, and even those pharmaceutical/insurance ads that so many hate today.
@Frizzurd I can still see what you mean, and a lot of it has to do with a shift in fashions/vibe. The RUclipsr obviously prefers his Sub Pop Record artists compared to the headbangers of the glam metal years. And it seems now there is a backlash against 1980s nostalgia (and the 2010s) thanks to a new president being elected, but of course, I'll still continue to showcase the '80s and '90s equally on my channels (a slight edge to the '80s actually), with a few surprises from earlier decades on occasion. At least the '90s (except for perhaps 1998-99) isn't as tech obsessed as the 2000s and beyond has been and has a nice aura of organicity.
@Frizzurd love the 90s
Xena and Gabrielle- the original "just two real close gal pals." 😂
Well, actually it was censored, but they're canonically not just pals.
I think the original was probably Sappho
@@shitmultiverse1404 I know there was more than one episode where they kissed and heavily implied that they wanted to move to Lesbos... only for a reset button to be hit at the end for next week.
No it is not canon. It is left ambiguous for viewers. Though it seems to lean heavily one way during the last season. But there was never any episode saying they were lovers.
Hi Milhouse!
When I was 4 years old I was at universal? disney? and my only memory is being a cafeteria restaurant place and my mom was like "go find a seat" and i went and sat down with a lady cosplaying as Xena: Warrior Princess. being 4 years old i thought she was a real princess and a real warrior and the literal Xena Warrior Princess.
Wholesome. c:
Most likely Universal, Disney has a rule against adults clearly dressed up in the parks!
I met Whoopi Goldberg at a workshop at universal. She hugged 5 year old me
This was in the 90s. I'm pretty sure the rule against adults dressing up in Disney parks is something new.
Must have been Universal, because Xena Warrior Princess was a Universal show
God I just love how you do the Mystery Tapes filmed in VHS. Truly one of the most interesting and unique series you do!
i also love tomato face ian
I don't, it loses novelty ten seconds in.
This is literally the one series I’m constantly looking forward to. Not because of the tapes, we can probably just do that ourselves, but he finds so much cool and interesting stuff and presents it so well.
PowerOfTheC you forgot your “No Fun Allowed” sign, mr grumpy pants
@@rwby29 same
I find the fact that you actually record on a vhs tape to be such an incredible touch of detail that just makes this series super cool and unique
"I think I speak for everyone when I say pffffft!"
A truly legendary line. To be forever referenced and remembered.
Also, someone needs to upload that 1-800 collect commercial
Of all the nostalgia channels I watch, none of them hit me as hard as this one does. Maybe it's the in-depth analysis of the commercials, maybe its the vhs grain on your commentary that you can only get with an old camcorder, but for some reason these videos really affect me on a deep level.
Hes like a cozy living room with a fireplace
im not even from the 90s and this happens to me lol
Recording on period-correct hardware goes a long way, it looks way better than applying a distortion filter in post
i feel exactly the same way
It’s because he feels the same way we do about these things, but he has ability to articulate his viewpoint in an effective way. It’s both genuine and well-prepared.
For the simply safe ad you should have said “it’s so simple, even I can do it!”
This comment needs more likes, great stuff.
or just say it's so safe, even she can do it, while pointing to the woman from the AOL ad.
I was actually waiting for it, and it never came.
Love how 90s John Lithgow looks exactly as he looks now.
"Xena was a..."
Dude you don't need to describe that everybody knows Xena
"Ran from 1995 until 2001"...
Oh no, I'm old
I'm actually way too young to remember that stuff, grandpa
@@_loss_ Yes that is what they were implying. Good job.
I knew about the Hercules show but I had only heard the name Xena until I watched this. Born in 1999
It ended before I was born!
I know almost nothing about the show
Judging by the style I'd say that Food Lion ad was done by the same animator who does the Red Bull ads, Johannes Kastner. It's at least what you're thinking of, I'm sure.
If I was betting man I would say you're right.
Yeah I just had this thought, that’s definitely the same dude
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT i was struggling to remember where i've seen !!
I was thinking Schoolhouse Rock
Not only that, they ran so many candy commercials for Hershey's Cookies & Cream, Resse's Peanut Butter Cups, and Snickers where you can go to the movies and get some candy at the concession stand along with a tub of popcorn and soda. to hop into the theater seats and watch a movie.
Fun fact: The dude that wrote the Flintstone Vitamins jingle also composed the soundtrack to Halo
HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT!!! kotaku.com/halo-composer-wrote-jingles-for-flintstones-vitamins-t-5364981
The more you know ....
Well hot damn, the more I learn about Marty, the more talented he appears
And destiny
The vitamins were a better product
Ian's Mystery Tape videos is one of the few RUclips series that make me feel nostalgic for a time that I did not exist.
That's exactly the same thing for me
“Young Beefy Boy” sounds like the name of a SoundCloud meme rapper
Ah, yes. Xena's "travelling companion", Gabrielle. 😏
Just buff warrior gals being pals!
Just pals being buddies, you know
r/SapphoAndHerFriend
Joxer the mighty roams through the countryside, never needs a place to hide. Gabrielle is his sidekick fighting with het little stick.
r/SapphoAndHerFriend
"Wait a minute Xena cant fly"
"I told you Im not Xena, Im Lucy Lawless"
Ha
Huh, guess the "Lawless" has never referred to any country's laws, but the laws of gravity instead
Xena: A show about a warlord who's turned away from her destructive ways and is desperately trying to keep hold of the shreds of humanity she has left by helping as many people as she possibly can.
Also Xena: A show where a lesbian couple has to sing a harmonic performance in order to not get tortured further.
plus there's that fever dream mermaid one.
I never watched Xena when it was on air, but that looks like Lucy Lawless to me… She was fantastic in the Spartacus series later on in her career! That’s where I first came to know of her.
shes not lesbian she had the hots for ares.
@@zachemorgan I'm a lesbian and there are exactly two men I have the hots for, everyone else is a total turnoff
@@kaitlyn__L just saying the show runners even confirmed it. maybe they had a broke back mountain type relationship.
Xena: Warrior Princess is my mother's favorite show. She recorded several seasons worth after it started showing again on CTV Sci-Fi. They stopped airing it again a couple months ago.
My grandfather - who is no longer with us - loved cartoons. I remember being a child in the early-2000s and my mom recording the cartoons on VHS for him. I miss my pawpaw.
I called mine Papaw and we always watched cartoons together too! ❤️
😭😭😭 I feel you! My grandpa died March this year and i fell like saying I miss him doesn't convey the scope of my pain.
I have one grandmother left. She's a great lady.
However, I do wish I had all of them around. I miss them so much. I hope no one here takes their grandparents for granted. I did until the day I lost them. Don't make the same mistake I did, y'all. Visit them as often as you can, and hug them just as often.
My Grandma loves a good cartoon. We used to have some tapes with Taz-mania recorded on them. She still has a lot of Winnie the Pooh videos because that show was awesome. 😊
"Keith, my Girlfriend left me for another guy...."
"Remember, losing is the same as winning, just with less points."
"Yeah!"
Actually a good piece of advice, probably not for that context though.
@@jacksonpercy8044 yeah, i thought it was weird too, but it is a good piece of advice
This is what I tell myself when I shoot the hostage in R6
I know no one cares or will read this, but this video made my night. I haven't been too fond of the mystery vhs series, uts just not my thing, but ill still watch them. I had a horrible day at work and just wanted to turn my brain off fir a but while I ate dinner and put thus on.
I was so excited and happy when he talked about Xena. Uts a show I love and grew up with that no one knows about or cares about enough to talk about. Most people are just aware that it exists. My favorite episode is "the bitter suite" which was the musical episode he talks about.
The episode us a climatic conclusion of a series long arguments between Xena and Gabrielle. Xena had a son, back when she was evil, but kept him in the care of a centaur so he would be safe and gave a better upbringing than she could provide. Gabrielle was impregnated by a cult God and gave birth to a girl she named Hope. Xena tried killing hope many times knowing she was evil, and drove wedge between the two of them Gabrielle sent hope down a river in a basket, hoping she would find a good life.
A few episodes go by and they decide to visit Solan, Xenas son. Gabrielle realizes that one of the children in the village is hope (due to her being evil shes now like 7) and she tries to run away with her. Hope under the direction of Callisto, whose family was murdered by Xena in her evil days, kills Solan and the centaur watching him. Xrna knows the culprit and forces Gabrielle to poison her daughter. As the bodies of their children are burning in a pyre, Xena tells her to never speak her sons name, and due to her and her evil daughter and her lies her son is dead. They part ways, and the bitter suite begins.
Thank you brutalmoose for creating a video that brought me some joy out of a horrible time in my life
THIS IS SUCH A DARK STORYLINE I didn’t realize that show was quite so…. Intense!!
"My grandma churned real sweet butter."
Grandpa : "Oh yeah she did huehuehue."
Seeing the Xena fight clips makes me realize how hard they overused wire flipping in 90s action cinema
Overused... I say not enough! No, you're right, it's a but ridiculous.
CGI wasn't where we needed it to be so we flipped for it
Xena did that on purpose. Overdoing it was the whole point lol
@@ortzinator Now that's just flip service
@@ortzinator Yeah Xena and Hercules weren't meant to be reasonable, they were meant to be amazing. I'll never forget the Centaurs.
"30 dinars says you can't so much as get her to kiss you."
"Wow, 30 whole dinners?"
Lol, best line!
So long as they are not produced by Banquet or Hungry-Man.
"Xena and her 'traveling companion' Gabrielle"
It's ok you can say "girlfriend"
Just gal pals being pals
They were never confirmed girlfriends in the show and he watched 1 episode sooo why would her say they were more than friends.
That was never concrete, to be honest. I loved the show and only in the last couple of seasons where the fan fic took over the actual show (talk about jumping the shark) that it was shoved down our throats that they were a lesbian couple. Before that, it was implied at times, but more often it was that they were best friends (possibly with benefits?), and while I have absolutely nothing against a show about a gay couple, I think they really capitulated to a small subset of the fanhood and it really ruined the chemistry and freshness of the show.
@@jbjacobs9514 If it was hinted at and then confirmed within the show, isn't it just story progression? I've never really seen the show, but I remember it. My yikesometer activates when i see the words "forced down our throats"
@@swagnostic132 I get where you're coming from, and if it had been a natural progression or really hinted at (not a sharp left turn because of fan fiction - I guess you had to be there at the time - it was never the focus of the show or anything more than they were best friends - there was a lot of fan fic, same as with Hercules and Iolaus. It was just something fans play with and it is fun as fan fiction and pretty common in a LOT of tv shows - but then they actually let fan fic internet "authors" write scripts for the show - almost like a gimmick - and it completely changed the trajectory and success of the show to go downhill).
"Wait Xena can't fly."
"I told you before I'm not Xena I'm Lucy Lawless"
"Hotpockets and Xena tapes...they help me concentrate."
fantastic "The Core" reference!
Wasn't the line originally "Star Trek tapes?"
@@MrChadsimoneaux nah. It was Xena.
@@IanWearsHeadPhones After I asked that I googled it, the line in the original trailer was "Star Trek tapes." They changed it presumably for copyright reasons.
If you have ruined the fucking mystery...
I used to think Brutalmoose was a stand up kind of guy, but now that I know he spit out his Flinstones vitamins, I don't know if I can watch him the same way anymore.
He did what had to be done
Imagine what he would have become had he gotten all his vitamins. An even brutal-er moose!
@@gewurzgurke4964 *Death metal intro song* METAL MOOSE!
Well he's gay so you can start there.
he said steamed vegetables are the worst way to prepare them who gives a fuck if he’s gay how does he make the vegetables
Mystery Tapes is by far my favorite Moose segment. I was thinking that there needs to be some kind of pipeline to provide this guy with tapes for this to continue. Perhaps Moose would allow tapes to be sent to him.
I actually had so many of those Flintstones vitamins that my parents had to call for a doctor. Ah, the good ol' days.
Bassist: How much bass you want on this double mint gum ad?
Sound designer: Yes
Makes it more “black”
It was a...
...double bass.

E P I C
The guy who gets his winnings stolen is Ted Raimi, brother of Sam Raimi who made the evil dead movies and created the hercules show
You can also see Bruce Campbell aka Ash from Evil Dead in the background at 4:54. Another fun fact: the actress of Xena later played Ruby in the show Ash vs Evil Dead.
like spider-man Sam Raimi?
@@wooflex The same. And Darkman Sam Raimi
wooflex yeah
HOFFMAN
Fun fact about Xena and Hercules: The Legendary Journey.
They were both produced by Renaissance Pictures, which was founded by none other than Bruce Campbell and the Raimi Brothers of "Evil Dead" fame.
Bruce also appears in around 50 episodes across both series.
They would use the experience of making the two series to create Army of Darkness.
Hercules: The Legendary Journey also starred Michael Hurst, who incidentally produced Spartacus, another TV series with Lucy Lawless in the cast.
Roxer is played by my boi Ted Raimi. I did not know he was in this. Hoffman has been getting around.
I get wayyyyy too excited about the Raimis and Bruce Campbell
His name is Joxer.
"Remember, losing is the same as winning, just with fewer points" I'm sure some writer somewhere was satisfied with his or herself after writing that, probably at 11:59PM with a midnight deadline for a script and thought it sounded very, very, clever.
Well, I'll have to admit, it certainly does :^D
instead, I had the feeling that the ad itself was joking around the two dudes being total dumbasses. But maybe reality is much simpler than I think.
It actually sounds like pretty solid advice, but I don't know how useful it is after being dumped.
I've been trying to find that commercial for years! Mystery solved!
That friend in Xena is Ted Raimi who is Sam Raimi's brother. He also played Henrietta in Evil Dead 2 in the fruit cellar 🧟♀️
Atleast one that mentioned that. XD
And Hoffman from the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy
Henrietta was my first crush. Such a cutie.
I meet Ted. We talked about Marcus Aurelius. Ted is a cool guy.
Toasty the Sheep. He was the first boss fight of the game, piloting a mechanical scarecrow with a jack-o'-lantern for a head.
It sounds like it was voiced by Danny DeVito in the ad
Xena and Hercules were Sam Raimi classics in every way. Appropriate for their time, and still kinda holds up for their setting and setup. Always some well known people in there too!
God I still remember that musical episode.
"Not a fan of this medieval fantasy genre. Does this not just look just like Game Of Thrones?"
(One of his favorite games is Runescape, later mentions Spyro's greatness)
I know denial is usually a running gag in Brutalmoose's video, but this is an unusual example
The food lion commercial reminded me of schoolhouse rock
I could see it. It was also giving me redbull commercial vibes.
Or the vintage tootsie pop commercials.
I see im not the only one who gets this warm safe feeling from every upload. *You are like nostalgia personified*
And we adore you.
The internet sucks so I'm always forced to watch these videos in 144p unless I wanna wait 30 minutes... but somehow it just adds to the aesthetic
Xena more like
*_ACTUALLY PAYS FOR PASSAGE TO THE UNDERWORLD UNLIKE HERCULES, THE SCOUNDREL!_*
"Wow... thirty whole dinners?" in this context is one of my favorite quotes I've heard in a long time
"Thanks to simplisafe, I'm Spy Kids now."
I loved that line more than I should have.
I have comorbid insomnia and I sleep every night with a Brutalmoose video playing. Over the years I've switched between RUclips channels, podcasts, and ASMR videos, but the natural flow and delivery of Ian's vids just do the trick for me all the time.
It usually takes around 3 hours for me to fall asleep but it cuts down to 30 mins - 1 hour with Brutalmoose vids playing over my earphones. When I'm awake, I just enjoy the vids as they are and they're still equally comforting.
The "beefcake" at 11:00 sounds exactly like Tommy Wiseau
"Losing is the same as winning. Just with fewer points." Ha ha! That line cracked me up. I line is very optimistic, but still feels entirely wrong to me. It's great.
That dialogue is such nonsense I had to listen back to it to make sure I wasn’t having a stroke lmao
That had to be a joke, right?
He's a bit confused but he's got the spirit.
i don’t understand all this discourse over flinstone’s vitamins: they’re gross. and chalky. i’m with you brutalmoose
They're the least bad gummy vitamins.
How can a gummy vitamin be chalky
There are gummy ones and hard ones if I remember correctly. I think the hard ones aren’t around any more. Those are the ones we hate (and for good reason)
@@ImArcticGreene You can still buy the hard ones, but gummies are way superior in every way
@@ImArcticGreene
No way. Lol. I actually have a very strong memory of being a kid, sneaking a bottle of Flintstone vitamins out into the backyard, and chugging them without my mom noticing. I have no idea why I loved them so much, but they were like candy to me haha. It was the kind shown here in this video at 15:03.
I cannot stress how delightfully 90s the Conclusion part looks with that effect on. Either an effect or he ACTUALLY shot the whole video with a VHS recorded, and if that - huge respect!
The Food Lion commercial reminds me the “Red Bull gives you wings” style commercials?
OH MY GOD THIS TOO!!! i got a schoolhouse rock vibe
Bruce Campbells mustache in that Zena episode is amazing. Also, a wild Ted Raimi
Bruce Campbell without a Raimi is like a puzzle with a piece missing: still a good time, but you are keenly aware of its incompleteness.
Thanks, Ian, for reminding me that the world is ever-changing.
I’m now more motivated to cherish the positive moments I’m in, and relived to know the negative moments will pass.
I feel old, but honestly? Seeing all this cool shit I saw as a kid(specifically the commercials) warms my heart so damn much. Love your work.
"Gum was a bigger deal in the 80's and 90's" - Geoff Ramsey
The fact that these are filmed on VHS just shows how much effort you put into your videos
Oh Jesus, your gum commercial edit that ends at 13:19 got me chuckling so hard I even woke up my girl, now she's pissed.
Oh well, worth it.
Now this is what RUclips was meant to be, Epic.
"Living is the same as dying, just with fewer breaths!"
"Yeah!"

"Every once and a while... I leave the house."
Richmond native here, for some reason we have alot of junk yards around. There's even a nearby town called Mechanicsville.
these always bring back a big hit of nostalgia and I end up rembering I know all these commercials word for word
"Traveling Companion"
I love mystery tapes. Such a time capsule. I have a few of them myself. My favorite commercials from the tapes are mostly video game related. Mine go from the 16-bit era to the 64-bit era
Oh wow I remember a lot of those commercials. This was probably the most nostalgic episode of Mystery Tapes. I love this seriesss
I love that you still record these episodes with VHS... it makes my nostalgia heart happy to see you in gritty VHS quality!
Joxer the mighty!!!
That's Ted Raimi btw, Sam Raimi's brother. Bruce Campbell was also on the show
Chesterfield Auto is a "Pick'n'Pull" salvage yard nowadays, and is still an incredibly affordable-yet-labor-intensive source for used auto parts.
Just bring tools.
In California we use to have a pick'n'pull (that's literally was the name) Now it's call U pick U pull, a lot of people go there to get whatever parts they need. It's cheaper to get the parts there cause it's not going to cost them an arm and leg to get one. Some are really lucky and get a car that is in really good condition and the part are near perfect and they take it apart to get their parts. My dad LOVES going there whenever he needs a part for a car or truck. My brother he works there and gets a pretty good discount on the parts too. Also he gets to pick a part before they set out in the yard. Lol
It's crazy to see an add for this. Used it several times to get parts for my old ford escape
@@CRSH3000 Right!?
It's bizarre!
I'm actually more surprised I never saw the ad when I was younger.
@@mysticmallachi777 I think I was probably a little too young for that one but who knows when they stopped running ads. Disappointed that there wasn't more richmond virginia stuff to show lol.
I just watched other mysterytapes episodes and I was thrill with joy when I saw that new episode is here!!!
Love this series, glad it's back!
I'm scared one of these days we're gonna find a snuff film or something on these tapes
What's a snuff film?
@@powerofthec5908 you don’t want to now....
@@powerofthec5908 Man I wish I was young enough to not know the horrors out there. I would not google that esp depending on how young you are.
I've been collecting VHS for years now, and the only... questionable... material I _ever_ found out of ~500 tapes was on a tape from my _grandmother_ that she gave me to record over. It was probably an HBO recording that ran long into their overnight hours. Said recording has since long been recorded over by _The Price Is Right_
I think that it's an overblown occupational hazard of VHS collecting. Most stores toss the home-recorded tapes because of privacy issues (often they're tapes of birthday parties and trips -- literal home videos) and copyright issues (can't sell a home recording legally, but you can technically sell the tape itself). Even if a batch of home-records ends up on the sales floor, they probably won't have anything scandalous in them, because the grandkids will probably toss all the tapes in shock if they find that kind of stuff.
@@mynameisnothere9465 well they're definitely gonna Google it now.
I can't wait to see the day when Millennials and Gen Z get old enough such that we start seeing AARP ads the way we see Audible or Manscape sponsored ads in videos.
So i might be way to excited to see another upload of the vhs series, as i live for these. Thank you for gracing us with your vhs discoveries again!
Thank you so very much for the new content. I have been waiting patiently since your last upload and I always enjoy your videos.
Oh my god I just realised there’s a Chadtronic plush in the background! Nice touch, Ian
Gum was such a thing in the 90s/early-mid-2000s. Everyone chewed gum, everyone had gum on them, half the impulse buy rack and a notable portion of a shelf or two in the candy aisle at the grocery store was gum. No idea why, but I do remember reading an article at some point that said the downturn in people chewing gum was very closely correlated to the 2008 recession and resulting decrease in disposable income.
I think it replaced smoking for a lot of people as a habit and something to do with their hands and mouths. And, yeah, not only did people downsize their expenditures but gum also got a lot more expensive. Seeing 25¢ on the Wrigley's packs in the ads was wild.
A new brutalmoose video makes my week! Thanks guy!
I absolutely love viewing your Mystery Tape theatre via the world wide web. It' was so easy for me to figure out!!!
it looked liked the animation from schoolhouse rock...."im just a bill on capital hill" does that ring a bell?
I can't tell you how much I love these Unlabled VHS episodes, it's like riffing roulette. I'm shocked you've never seen Xena before though, the humor is great. It's got a great Quest for the Delta Knights vibe to it.
Another incredible dive into the nostalgic unknown. Thank you for making and sharing this with us.
So excited to see more!
another excellent video! i'm loving the aesthetic you set up with the camera angles in the intro
Can I just say, I don’t see many people saying it but your editing and whole aesthetic is top notch
My parents are friends with someone who used to play Xena at Universal in California.
John further up in the comments met her when he was 4 lmao
Hey, nice user picture!
@@thebiglebootski357
You have the same profile picture
@@shadowclaw9369 If only he had made a reference to that in his comment.
Yesssss. I was just binge watching your food videos yesterday wondering when your new video would be up...so happy
Love your videos man. Keep up the great work.
2 in less than a month, I'm honoured sir. I can't wait for this long video you are making.
oh yea, i was super into xena when i was a kiddie
until it ended horribly and scarred me for life
Bruh what happened
How did it end?
I actually just had to google this bc I used to watch the show but I never saw the end--I had no idea that apparently Xena dies in the final episode?? Like yeah happy fun fantasy show about a badass warrior woman then suddenly she's fucking dead
In my headcanon, the last episode is "When Fates Collide." Cuz they get to just ride off into the sunset.
@@jprofio it's worse than just "oh she dies"
they get captured by the romans (i guess?) and theres this whole episode building up to their escape... but in the end someone breaks Xena's fucking spine, and then both her and her girlfriend get crucified in a Passion of the Christ style scene... its pretty horrifying
I can’t believe you attacked my nostalgia like that with no warning. I cried a little, I got choked up, straight up shocked, I loved it. That “Recorded Off Of TV” quality to it really hit me right in the soul bringing me back to the late 90’s watching with my dad and sister, more than any DVD recording could. Holy shit.
Bro your channel is just so wholesome and fun and enjoyable. No drama no messy feuds just you and the shit you like. It's so nice and refreshing
10:58 The "phone patrol" guy is Ed O'Neill, if you missed it.
I love Al Bundy!!!!
I could have happily gone the rest of my life without hearing that damn Big Red song again.
Boooooo! It's a classic commercial jingle!
Glad to finally see a new episode of this series. Also, that musical episode of Xena was amazing
Just never thought random old vhs tapes could be so interesting until BrutalMoose came along. This man can make anything fun and interesting.
I loved Xena as a kid. At first I didn't like it because I was at that age when girl protagonist = girl show. But when I finally watched it after being trapped at a grandparents house with nothing to do I loved how funny it was and definitely helped get me into the fantasy setting.
I was specifically just looking for something to casually watch but mostly listen to as I cook lunch. Thanks, Ian!
Thank you so much Ian. Your nostalgic commentary on the commercials and TV that most of our generation grew up with is very comforting.
Man ians videos really make my day. Needed this man
