There's a.... LOT going on in this video. - Harlan Ellison hawking cars - Pepsi in Russia - Oat Bran waffles for the "yuppies" - Stevie Wonder singing about batteries - The weirdest guest lineup in that Bob Hope Special - Merlin Olsen for FTD - America, hell yeah (Wrigley) - "Tae Kwon Do Lema" (seriously?) That's what made the 80s so great.
Kinda goes without saying but TMNT 2 was not his debut. The first part of this video shows some of his scenes from "The Last Dragon" and "Red Sonja" (Both from 1985) ruclips.net/video/CcEbxUJi7uA/видео.html "The Last Electric Knight" itself was the pilot movie for a one-season TV series where he played the main character: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidekicks_(TV_series)
Even though I love Quaker Square Oats now, I would never touch the stuff back when I was a kid. Smurf Berry Cereal, Capn Crunch, Frosted Flakes and Froot Loops were my faves.
Another great volume. I don't remember this one but I definitely remember that gizmoduck intro episode from the next week. I was so excited by that movie with ducktales being one of my favorite cartoons. I also love the promo for return of the jedi. I was mad about star wars as a little kid and always had to beg my parents to let me stay up and watch them until they gave me the original trilogy on VHS.
NBC Saturday Morning-just wasnt the same by the end of the 80s Hogan Family-i remember the friend in the gray jacket died of AIDS later on down the line after a trip to Europe.. was a sad episode :( Foot Locker-i'm sure you'll end up in the hospital after visiting Gargantuan Green's locker lol
8:39 Disney actually abandoned Discovery Island in 1999 after a controversy involving various birds on the island being shot at and beaten 10 years prior.
I can see why this is uploaded *now*. Because it has a few mentions of Easter. So, it's here in time for the Easter Weekend! 18:28 This was the first version of Peter Pan I've seen (I thought it was a '70s version because it was in that decade when I saw it. It was actually made in 1960!). It made me think that Peter Pan was a female! Well, ya know, I was only a little kid back then (and that Mary Martin played the part). Maybe a few years later, when I saw the Disney version, that was the time it became clear to me that the character is actually male. 19:19 Try playing that last segment at half-speed. :-D
I remember when seeing a movie, like Star Wars on TV was something special, as a kid you counted down the days, and made sure you were planted in front of the TV 5 minutes early. Now days movies are on demand, and the time from theater to home viewing is weeks, not months or years, nothing magical or special about them anymore.
9:51 - Max Wright, the actor who played the father on ALF, apparently hated doing the show, because he was not fond of playing second fiddle to a puppet who got all the best lines.
I like how the featured movie these commercials aired for is The Swiss Family Robinson, and then Alex Keaton says "What are we, the Swiss Family Robinson?" in the Family Ties commercial.
4:14 A curiosity regarding this commercial: Pepsi had been selling its soft drinks in the USSR since the 1960s and the Soviets exchanged Pepsi syrup from the US for bottles of Stolichnaya vodka. However, in the 80s during the last years of communism in Russia and in the midst of a terrible economic crisis, they came to exchange soviet warships and aircraft carriers for that syrup. It is for this reason that for a time PepsiCo had the fourth largest marine fleet in the world in the late 1980s.
Well..its called Chicken Parm not because of the cheese actually on the cheese but the fact that it originated in PARMA ITALY is where the name comes from..

"You know I get hung over but a lot of times a Snickers bar holds me over through my next drinking binge, It really is satisfying."
wow I thought that looked like a young ernie reyes jr. ... amazing to see him before his debut in tmnt 2! another great collection of ads

ah I stand corrected -- forgot he had other roles prior to that!

The Magical World of Disney, always the best part of a Sunday night.
I just watched the Super DuckTales story arc the other day in DVD. XD
I remember my parents taping that broadcast of Peter Pan. We watched it for many years until the tape wore out.

8:51 - How low must you view your own self worth to consider yourself unworthy of cereal?

RIP Harlan Ellison.
This is so great. How can I play all of this through an old dusty tube tv?
4:15 The Cold War ended when Kendall Jenner handed Mikhail Gorbachev a Pepsi
Is that Robert Duncan McNeill, aka Tom Paris from Star Trek: Voyager, at 15:23? He woulda been about 25 at the time apparently.

Why can't Wal-Mart take a tip from Von's?
Has Disney ever re-released any of these classic live action movies on DVD or Blu-Ray? If not they should.
+Boomska316 most of their big live action movies were released on DVD, with blu-ray they've released some through their mail order movie club.
Can this guy make it anymore obvious.In reading what to say for the product.Sheesh! 14:17

So is the dashboard computer in the Geo Prism run by AM?
What's the guy name at 10:47?
Pepsi ended the Cold War?
I hate to be pedantic, but shouldn't a Parmesan sandwich actually have Parmesan and not Mozzarella?
fattoler at least they told what is really included lol
Well..its called Chicken Parm not because of the cheese actually on the cheese but the fact that it originated in PARMA ITALY is where the name comes from..
