Okay here's a funny story. A few months ago I was up late watching this video and it got to The Arches commercial. I was half asleep considering it was around 3 or 4 in the morning. All of a sudden I'm jolted awake by a super loud "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE." Thinking it was my family. Nope. It was Critic. So thanks Doug for nearly scaring the living shit out of me.
LOL I love the parental permission part... Exactly how it feels to get permission as a kid. Also, shout out to the black kid from the Zelda commercial for having more flow than Shaq.
When I was seven, I got one of those "Skip Sticks" as a birthday present from a friend. Because I was such a tomboy, I took it apart and was able to use the main part of it as a staff. I then turned the end pieces into a pair of nun-chucks. Good times. :D
+DatBoy SoTalented yeah, joker, Harley, dead shot, el Diablo, Rick flag, batman, captain boomerang, and if you collect them all you can build killer croc.
Looking back on these ads, it's interesting how many of them imply that the product will make the owner super popular, or that the product is so much fun that you and your friends will laugh hysterically. Better than drugs! I wonder how many kids found out the products didn't deliver their promises and got their money back.
Basically marketing 101 right there. Create a need and sell a method of accomplishment or sell a lifestyle/image and sell a product that will make you part of that lifestyle. Complete nonsense, but effective.
So the man's daughter supposedly bears the cabbage patch kids, which would make the woman on the phone, the man's mother, a great grandmother, but he tells her shes a "grandma".... So that would mean, the girl is not actually the daughter but... and the man is.... oh no....
Ok, besides the Wunder Boner having a really stupid name that people are going to be snickering at, it actually seems really useful. Skinning and de-boning fish is hard, and that product could help. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever used this product to de-bone their fish?
Besides, I bet it's rated PG-13. It may as well be. Also, think of movie ratings as game ratings.Even though the Alien movies are recommended for ages 13 & up, the underage can come.
isn't the proper complaint that they got the Alien names wrong like Gorrillas when their called warriors, or that the Queen doesn't fly? I'M AN ALIENS NERD! :D
I love that Nerf Arrow Storm commercial. That kid pretty much embodies the mindset we had as young kids pretending to be the ultimate badasses...playing with a Nerf guns.
The shit we did with Nerf guns as kids, nowadays it would be viewed as unhealthy and warrant a trip to the school shrink to talk about Columbine and how it made us feel inside. I miss when kids could still be kids.
the guy dressed as Inuyasha at 27:25 (the red dressed guy next to the school girl thats seppouse to be Kagome) litherly just sits there with his mouth open and a smile, he gotta be the only one not laughing his ass off lol
Nope. Right up the middle, in the back, the big guy in the yellow and black letterman jacket. Also, green shirt nerd on the far left. I have too much time on my hands, I know.
Critic Fred: I mean seriously Barn, what is about my serial that sets it apart from other serials? Barney: Because it came from your wife's box. Please tell me I'm not the only sucker who laughed hysterically at that joke XD
Hey! The "Spring Bunny" advertisement stole animation from Kimba the White Lion! Don't believe it? Anyone who's seen it will know that the animals at 8:03 are taken DIRECTLY from the 1960s U.S English dub of Kimba the White Lion.
I think I died when he said "Hey Joey! I got a nintendo entertainment system! Wanna play?" and then "....... THAT ........ MAN, THIS KID HAS BUBBLES! >:O"
Daniel Hunnewell Also "Hi kids! Imma table! Do you wanna hear a exciting table adventure, because y'know. Tables go on a lot of ...... adventures!" HAHAHHAHA XD
***** I'm also a "brony" (I don't really like that word, I like "MLP fan" better), but my god, bronies and anti-bronies (I can't believe that hating on people for liking an innocent show as MLP is actually a thing) need to calm the fuck down!
Dayane Rodrigues i'm fine with anti bronies, i'm not fine with them calling the show a plague. and i'm not fine with bronies saying that they "cleanse" and are "the master race" because hitler said that stuff.
To this day I still cry to Barney's addiction to Cocoa Pebbles cereal, Criti-I mean Fred is a good man giving him 20 bucks for his needs for his wife, and his son Bam-Bam.
Michael Christoffers I remember when I was addicted to cocoa-pebbles. Thankfully, I had amazing parents and friends that helped me get off of them and start eating cheerios instead.
You gotta give the Barbie car credit, it's not bright ass pink like other cars for girls' toys, it's a red sports car convertible. I would have actually played with my Barbies if I had that.
Because there was a man at the other end of the line touching himself with his pants down whilst the little children spoke to him. If not, then money. Or both.
Oh my god, 7:01 Dino Riders were AWESOME, the toys were all amazing, I can tell you why it never caught on though, I remember them being rather large (especially the tyrannosaur) and they were quite expensive at the time. Cool as they were, I'd be willing to bet most parents weren't willing to shell out the money and just had their kids pick something cheaper.
At 16:15 seeing those animal cards makes me wonder something... What if those cards did become popular and everyone started collecting them like baseball cards? Would that mean that a card would be rare if that certain animal became extinct? Kind of like how a baseball card would become rare if that baseball player died. People would be like...I hope this animal dies so I can sell this card at a pawn shop and get money for it. That would be crazy...
For some reason, when I watch that Kellogg's corn pops commercial and see the kid that goes crazy because there's no corn pops I half expect them to go on a killing spree
And thus the "fucking bubbles" meme was born.
The Sentient Ditto FUCKING BUBBLES!
Hey Joey I just got a Nintendo entertainment system, fuck that shit that kid has BUBBLES!
Doug didn't even expect it xD
He thought Wunder Boner would be more popular.
I found the wonder boner on amazon,ps. FUCKING BUBBLES
I found the wonder boner on amazon,ps. FUCKING BUBBLES
Okay here's a funny story.
A few months ago I was up late watching this video and it got to The Arches commercial. I was half asleep considering it was around 3 or 4 in the morning. All of a sudden I'm jolted awake by a super loud "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE." Thinking it was my family. Nope. It was Critic.
So thanks Doug for nearly scaring the living shit out of me.
Hmm i'm a little bit suspicious
I wish that they made an adult version of Guess-Who. That'd be so cool to play.
lol I was JUST about to say that.
Well if they could make an adult version of "Apples to Apples" (Cards Against Humanity), then I think that's possible.
My friends and I made our own guess who with random celebrities, memes, and internet stars. Critic is on it.
It takes 1,126 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
"You are tearing me apart corn pops!"
"you are tearing me apart fun fruit trees!"
Burger King save the animal cards?
Doesn't seem like they're doing a very good job with "saving the animals."
lol like Burger King uses real meat
HA
+Jack McFord (Jack Bird) dont you mean fucking bubbles!
Irony.
Driscoll17 That commercial was so stupid!!!
I keep calling (1-900-IM-A-****ING-TABLE) but somebody other than the table answers. I NEED TO HEAR A TABLE STORY.
10:24 "Okay Barn, you're going down!" "I'M GONNA EAT YOUR WIFE'S BOX!" LOL He just made the ending to that commercial even more hilarious!
The entire Cocoa Pebbles segment in general just feels it could be a sketch on Robot Chicken, IMHO.
***** Really?
+Cymes I saw it, it was funny! crazy robot chicken.
LOL I love the parental permission part... Exactly how it feels to get permission as a kid.
Also, shout out to the black kid from the Zelda commercial for having more flow than Shaq.
23:48 I keep hearing "Disguised in his big, bad, fucksuit"
De☠DudeG☠ming your not alone dude your not alone.
De☠DudeG☠ming SAME!!!
DeadDudeGaming Now I can't unhear that XD
I heard it too
DeadDudeGaming .......thanks
13:11 - My name is Link y'all, I'm straight outta Hyrule
Been on the force of good since 1986. Old school......
I'm bringin you a laid back summertime jam ~
- xZeroVirus567x - Hey what's up Old Man ~
Oh thanks old man that is really very nice!
I can always count on you for friendly advice ~
Jinhunter Slay Though I've never seen a sword quite the shape or size...
That..was weird!
At least Song of the South got a fun ride.
The Corn Pops freakout had to be some of the best editing I've ever seen. Love The Shinning and the Exorcist flashes in there.
I HAVE PERMISSION!!!
When I was seven, I got one of those "Skip Sticks" as a birthday present from a friend. Because I was such a tomboy, I took it apart and was able to use the main part of it as a staff. I then turned the end pieces into a pair of nun-chucks. Good times. :D
This is my favorite of the commercials specials. The Pebbles bit alone clinches it.
I died at the Pulp Fiction reference in Guess Who...
15:50
'Does he look like a bitch?' 100% unexpected,and i nearly fell off my chair.
15:50
You are tearing me APART, Fun Fruit trees!
Dino-Riders. Before my time, but even as a 20-year-old man, I still want that to be a thing again!
Come with me! I have a Tardis!
+The A-Trane I Never seen the Dino-riders commercial But I still wander how in the living hell that podat never got off the ground
There's a dino riders live action movie coming out in a few years
yeah, how stupid do you think the internet is?
The A-Trane I remember them and I am 21 but maybe because certain toys came to Canada a bit laterbtgan the US
Me and my Johnson enjoyed this.
My Johnson turned into a Wonder Boner during this
+maximumrisk2004 i wonder how much fear you have put in people with certain pfobias..
+maximumrisk2004 i actualy touched the screen to see if it was real :D thank you for that..
psykopanda11 Quite alot. I am not usually a troll, but I got to admit that this Avatar gives me endless joy.
AHHHHH SPIDER!!!
I don't know, the way the owl opens his eyes says to me "Oh for fu-yesssss, kid? What now?"
Johnson boat motors and Wonder Boner fish cleaner. Was there no Master Bait brand of fishing lures?
There is. Master Bait and Tackle. "You cant beat our bait."
ZETA848 *nearly spits out chips* !!! Good crap, are you SERIOUS!? O.o
Quite so. Google it.
ZETA848 Good heck, do people even THINK before they give these products these names!? DX
yes they do these names aren't accidents
When I was a kid I used to wonder if any of these kids playing with those aliens toys had ever actually seen the R rated movie that they were based on
+Austin Zolo (cough suicide squad cough)
+Jkop There's suicide squad toys?
+DatBoy SoTalented yeah, joker, Harley, dead shot, el Diablo, Rick flag, batman, captain boomerang, and if you collect them all you can build killer croc.
samdiego Haha, so true.
LOL, who else laughed at the "I have permission!" line?
Looking back on these ads, it's interesting how many of them imply that the product will make the owner super popular, or that the product is so much fun that you and your friends will laugh hysterically. Better than drugs!
I wonder how many kids found out the products didn't deliver their promises and got their money back.

Maybe he was talking to his wife, the girl's mother.
Yeah, Doug was never good with naming family relations. Look at his Mario Bros Movie review for a great example.
Ok, besides the Wunder Boner having a really stupid name that people are going to be snickering at, it actually seems really useful. Skinning and de-boning fish is hard, and that product could help. Out of curiosity, has anyone ever used this product to de-bone their fish?
okay, then why does it sound like a wonderful 101 porn?
It isn't great at what it's supposed to do.
You, your kids, and your Johnson.
Creepiest. Line. Ever
+Jarrett Smith rivaled by that
FreeKickerz_Portland Uh, what?
wife away
gone is the day
you, your kids, and your Johnson
... What?
Japan isn't so different from us, even they will give Zelda a rap theme! 😆
"Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess. "
So rap has invaded other media? Let me go and get my shotgun be back in a tick.
Wait, wait, wait, isn't ALIENS rated mature? If so, then why make kid action figures themed after it?!
they knew kids watched it so they were like more money for us
Besides, I bet it's rated PG-13. It may as well be. Also, think of movie ratings as game ratings.Even though the Alien movies are recommended for ages 13 & up, the underage can come.
They turned Mortal Kombat into a saturday morning cartoon, and Friday the 13th into a video game.
I'm honestly not surprised.
If Terminator 2 and Salvation can get an arcade game then anything can happen.
(I actually played the Salvation one)
isn't the proper complaint that they got the Alien names wrong like Gorrillas when their called warriors, or that the Queen doesn't fly?
I'M AN ALIENS NERD! :D
Well the Nerf Arrow storm kid was clearly the inspiration for King Joffrey. (seriously replace it with a crossbow and there you go.)
THIS KID HAS BUBBLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOO, THEY'RE MINE!!!
I had that bubble thing as a kid.(sold by Klutz with a better name.)
The commercial doesn't convey just how freaking awesome it is.
FUCKIN' BUBBLES!!!!
***** And they were amazing.
Had to use Dove soap to make the bubble solution, though.
FUCKING BUBBLES
Believe it or not the "Wunder Boner" is still being sold so it must actually work, seen in on Amazon.
hearing the critic's impression of fred is so soothing it's like listing to morgan freeman, I LOVE IT (9:28)
I lost it when he started talking about the alien disguises "they don't have any eyes so they'll never be able to spot us" lmao
I finally found the Origin to the "Fucking Bubbles"-joke :D
Fun fact: the Link in that Japanese Zelda commercial is a girl. Im not kidding.
Wait, Link isn't a girl?
MariktheGunslinger well uhhh...um doesnt a girl saving a princess sound kind strange?
TheGamingGuy That was a joke.
Well not every one has the same sense of humor.
Crossdressing is way more accepted in the Far East than in the West.
I love that Nerf Arrow Storm commercial. That kid pretty much embodies the mindset we had as young kids pretending to be the ultimate badasses...playing with a Nerf guns.
The shit we did with Nerf guns as kids, nowadays it would be viewed as unhealthy and warrant a trip to the school shrink to talk about Columbine and how it made us feel inside. I miss when kids could still be kids.
I was lucky enough to have saw one of the "Song of the South" re-releases in theaters as a child and remember it.
IMO, this is the funniest Nostalgia Critic video.
"mom, your a grandma" wasnt she already a grandma? who was that llittle girl if it wasnt her grandaughter?
I thought he was referring to his daughter's mom, his wife.
Clearly that little girl was his young bride.
A lot of people refer to their spouse as "Mom" or "Dad" respectively.
Ryan Wesemann yeah, people dating their parents
Chris Leonard
Got some projection going on there I see.
I would never believe for the love of God that I'd actually enjoy watching ads on RUclips one day.. I guess that's the magic of NC
Every time I see an owl, I call it "Hoo-Dini". Thank you, Vanoss! Fucking thank you!
When I see the owl open his eyes all I can think of is…
"When I killed your brother, I talked… JUST… LIKE… THIS!!!!"
the guy dressed as Inuyasha at 27:25 (the red dressed guy next to the school girl thats seppouse to be Kagome) litherly just sits there with his mouth open and a smile, he gotta be the only one not laughing his ass off lol
Nope.
Right up the middle, in the back, the big guy in the yellow and black letterman jacket. Also, green shirt nerd on the far left.
I have too much time on my hands, I know.
He was too cranky to laugh, lol.
3:36 "Oh you want bubbles Joey? How about we play some Bubble Bobble?"
Joey: Bubbles and NES? Count me in!
Oh man, i've lost it all at the last two commercials.
Critic Fred: I mean seriously Barn, what is about my serial that sets it apart from other serials?
Barney: Because it came from your wife's box.
Please tell me I'm not the only sucker who laughed hysterically at that joke XD
Hey! The "Spring Bunny" advertisement stole animation from Kimba the White Lion! Don't believe it? Anyone who's seen it will know that the animals at 8:03 are taken DIRECTLY from the 1960s U.S English dub of Kimba the White Lion.
DUDE!!! I WONDERED IF ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THAT!!!
Not only that, but why is it "The Spring Bunny" anyway? Is "The Easter Bunny" copyrighted or something?
mysterymares I would hazard it to be the politically correct way of saying "Easter bunny", since not all people celebrate Easter.
YLW Pyro Eh, fair enough.
mysterymares It was cheap
I'm happy that critic brought up the "Well excuse me princess." thing because I thought I dreamed up the legend of Zelda show
My sister actually had one of those barbie car toys. Me and my younger brother used to borrow it off her all the time to play with it.
"Damnit Fred, I just wanted some fucking cerial"
WTF? $2 for the first minute and 35 cents each additional minute?
And these are supposed to be call lines for stories. You can imagine each story probably lasted AT LEAST 10 min. Those people were seriously evil.
Pera Medina
And you know they would speak as slowly as humanly possible to drag out the clock and run up the bill.
I think I died when he said "Hey Joey! I got a nintendo entertainment system! Wanna play?" and then "....... THAT ........ MAN, THIS KID HAS BUBBLES! >:O"
Daniel Hunnewell Also "Hi kids! Imma table! Do you wanna hear a exciting table adventure, because y'know. Tables go on a lot of ...... adventures!" HAHAHHAHA XD
The ads I can remember are: Flintstones Pebbles, Tootsie Pop, Grape Escape, Guess Who, Corn Pops (got to have my Pops).
Replace "Corn Pops" with "crack" and you've got a drug commercial.
I had a skip-stik until an 'accident' left a few people with various injuries after using it. It was awesome.
There were neon ones at my old school, and injuries were common.
that sounds awesomely cruel
TerrmediaReturns
It was, I just watched.It kinda felt like watching You've Been Framed.
I love the joke he used for it, that's actually what I was thinking XD
Fan, det låter hemskt...
It takes around 130 licks, yes, I did it when I was younger and got a award from the company...it's still in my old room I think XD
........:3
Dino Riders needs to be rebooted for the modern age like Thundercats 2011
11:30 - 11:35 = I wonder if he's related to the Little Man from "The Pink Panther". :)
You can't just talk about My Little Pony without an umbrella anymore.
Let the shitstorm begin.
(a flame war begins)
song name: lolrude-knitstorm.
I'm a brony and I found that hilarious.
***** I'm also a "brony" (I don't really like that word, I like "MLP fan" better), but my god, bronies and anti-bronies (I can't believe that hating on people for liking an innocent show as MLP is actually a thing) need to calm the fuck down!
Dayane Rodrigues i'm fine with anti bronies, i'm not fine with them calling the show a plague. and i'm not fine with bronies saying that they "cleanse" and are "the master race" because hitler said that stuff.
Dayane Rodrigues
MLP+ girl= okay but MLP+ MAN = Weird man or aka gay fuck
LEL M8 HAV S0M8 W33D M8
When he did the "EXCUSE ME, PRINCESS" part, i died!!!!
To this day I still cry to Barney's addiction to Cocoa Pebbles cereal, Criti-I mean Fred is a good man giving him 20 bucks for his needs for his wife, and his son Bam-Bam.
Yeah, it's so painful to watch
Michael Christoffers I remember when I was addicted to cocoa-pebbles. Thankfully, I had amazing parents and friends that helped me get off of them and start eating cheerios instead.
What's with the "Call this number" ads ? What are they for ? Sides talking to the characters....
It was an eighties Fad that wore out it's welcome
why is that fox looking at her boobs like that?
Easy money.
You gotta give the Barbie car credit, it's not bright ass pink like other cars for girls' toys, it's a red sports car convertible. I would have actually played with my Barbies if I had that.
Adding Pulp Fiction with the "guess who" commercial just made it for me... lmao
22:25 - It doesn't help at all knowing that the kid looks a LOT like James Sunderland.
Ok the Johnson one was enough I was still laughing then the fucking wonder boner made me laugh so hard I could barely breathe
I HAVE PERMISSION
27:25 That guy in the bottom right corner giving the most epic unamused face makes me laugh harder than the entire audience cracking up does.
That table call thing was fucking hilarious
8:08
These call lines were before my time, but why were these companies wanting little kids to call them?!
aenjgeal
They're premium lines. The companies were trying to get some cash out of the irresponsible parents of gullible children.
Because there was a man at the other end of the line touching himself with his pants down whilst the little children spoke to him. If not, then money. Or both.
Dino-Riders were awesome, I miss them.
During the Alien commercial, I am pretty sure I heard it say "Disguised in his big bad fucksuit."
That "Smooshees" voice over killed me!
i guess you could say barney has a CEREAL problem
I HAVE PERMISSION!!!!!
*HE-SEX!!*
Oh my god, 7:01 Dino Riders were AWESOME, the toys were all amazing, I can tell you why it never caught on though, I remember them being rather large (especially the tyrannosaur) and they were quite expensive at the time. Cool as they were, I'd be willing to bet most parents weren't willing to shell out the money and just had their kids pick something cheaper.
video: "you, your kids and your johnson"
me: *crying in the corner*
Fucking Bubbles!!!!
man old commercials were soooo much better
That Fred Flintstone impression is dead on!
The BEST use of the phrase "Well EX-CUSE ME princess!" EVAR!
the general from jurassic world TRIED to make real life dino riders but EVERYBODY gave him shit smh
Sega does what Nintendon't.... fades away :(
14:23 one of the greatest moments in Nostalgia Critic history
543 licks is what it takes to get the center of the tootsie pop
I like the Zelda rap.
Um... what exactly was that "You & Your Johnson" commercial advertising?
… your Johnson?…
+ShadowSilver1991 A boat motor.
it was a boat company. 😄
Nice Herbert the Pervert reference.
And a legend was born.
My reaction: Eric Cartman's laugh
19:43 that film never existed
***** remember what and shhhhhhhhhh that's meant to be between me and Goofy
+Jacob Chavarria how long do you think until Disney Channel or Junior airs Dumbo, Peter Pan, or Lady and the Tramp?
Well it did but 4 a short time period
Cephas Aaron Shhhhhh
0_0
I could swear that Aliens commercial said, "Atax! Disguised in his big bad FUCK SUITE!" 23:48 lol
(Clicks on time stamp)
(Listens closely)
...What.
Lemme see that again.
...What.
I lost it at "Well, EXCUUUUUUUSSSSSEEEEE ME, PRINCESS!"
At 16:15 seeing those animal cards makes me wonder something... What if those cards did become popular and everyone started collecting them like baseball cards? Would that mean that a card would be rare if that certain animal became extinct? Kind of like how a baseball card would become rare if that baseball player died. People would be like...I hope this animal dies so I can sell this card at a pawn shop and get money for it. That would be crazy...
I'd buy the crap out of those cards.
I HAVE PERMISSIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!
I wish when I wake up epic music plays
For some reason, when I watch that Kellogg's corn pops commercial and see the kid that goes crazy because there's no corn pops I half expect them to go on a killing spree
