I watch these whenever I feel depressed or stressed out, it's like a time machine. I miss my childhood, maybe it was because I was a kid and didn't know any better but the 90s seemed like such a great decade before everything fell to shit. If time travel existed I'd go back and live again in a heartbeat
I hear ya. I was born in 82 so was the perfect age in the 90s. I remember most of these commercials and bring me back to my childhood. My wife is the opposite and watching them depresses her because she misses it.
@@Vgp-rp4iu I can sympathize with your wife, it's like what the hell happened and I often wonder was it as good as we remember or did it just seem like that because we were kids ? Either way there's something about it kinda feels like going back home
@@slimpikin82 I think we had a lot more serotonin as kids. It's normal to be nostalgic for our childhoods. There is a reason older people often reminisce about the "good old days". I'm sure kids today will be nostalgic for today's commercials, music and movies.
I remember all of these, the 90's seemed like everything was going to be alright. It bridged and complimented the 80's nicely while giving slight glimpses of the future in a positive way, but ..now smh.
These were just the BEST days ever. I wish I could do it all over again... Everything was just different. These commercials took me back!! #80sBaby #90sKid
Brenden S Such a simpler time. We as kids were the last of the porch light, imagination, patience generation. We could spend hours playing with sticks and rocks. Bikes & Badminton. Cards and board games. Hide and seek and Polaroids. Now, it’s all about phones, selfies, gaming and instant gratification.
Man oh man! The nostalgia is so freakin real!!! I still have my entire Polly Pocket Collection and the same Castle in this commercial. I just turned 35 and i don’t think I can ever let them go 😩
Just want to say. GREAT collection of commercials. I’m in the hood of hoods Newark and these were exactly the commercials I used to watch. #nostalgia overload. 👍
I'm 36 years old and I'm just gunna say this the 80's and 90's were a better time , everything was great, food, movies, music, ect ect, those were the last two great decades, the 2000's and beyond cant hold a candle to the 80 and 90
Thanks for sharing. I'm 30 & the 90's was an awesome time to be a kid. It was right before computers & cell phones really took over! No smart phones, no RUclips, no streaming services or too many other distractions. Just tv shows & going outside to cause mayhem!! 😉
I was born in 82, and remember all these commercials. I don't know if there are still toy commercials, if there is I'm sure they're all CGI and forgettable.
There's a reason Toys R Us went kaput. Kids these days just don't play with toys. It's all smart phones and tablets. I live in a neighborhood that has quite a few families living in it with dozens of children and I NEVER see them play outside. Ever. There are like 6 Basketball hoops in my neighborhood that never see any action. Even in the summer when school is out. It's sad and actually tragic that a lot (though obviously not all) of kids just stay inside and play games. I remember back in the SNES/N64 days that we weren't allowed to play for more than 1 hour of games per day. And that was only IF we completed all our chores + homework and had already played outside for at least an hour. I learned quickly as a child that hard work equals more satisfying rewards. It felt GOOD at the end of the day to have finished all my chores, worn myself out playing Football or Basketball or running around the neighborhood having huge Nerf or Water fights and then coming inside, putting my feet up and playing some fun video games to unwind. Now kids steal their parents credit cards to dump money on mobile garbage, don't interact with each other outside of text messaging, and have 0 work ethics. And many of the parents are 100% to blame for enabling these lifestyles, either purposefully by not caring about their child, or indirectly by having BOTH parents needing to work all day long to support them. Hell, nowadays it costs $233,610 to raise a SINGLE child to age 18. And that's not including college.
OMG that Twister commercial just brought me back to being an eight year old plopped in front of the TV watching cartoons. I still remembered the jingle for it too.
You're not alone. Life was so much better back then, we didn't have our faces buried in smartphones we went outside and played everything was so much simpler
Omg that Animated Batman Series, Tiny Toon Adventures, Home Alone 2, that Nestle Quick ad..and that color blaster pencils and stencils...oh childhood come back 😭😭😭...BTW I still have my Turbo Hammer Monster Truck..my nephew loves it
I remember the order in which these commercials aired with the exception of the few local ones; mostly due to the fact that I and the other kids at school were obsessively watching Batman (including X men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and would always be raving about an episode at lunch or at the playground, this is how we used to talk about things we liked before social media! Also back then TV episodes were about 25 in a season! You had a lot to talk about back then; unlike now which it's about 8 to 10 episodes within a season due to steaming but I hear as of 2023 that's about change, things may go back to the way they used to be. Good times!
Commercials back then were so great. Most of everything was either positive, happy, or funny. Commercials nowadays are so fake, monotone, and bland. They need to bring this type of stuff back. I loved commercials as a kid. Nowadays, they’re depressing and annoying. That’s why most people watch Netflix.
That first Cheerios commercial almost feels like a modern day parody with all those '90s commercial standards - handheld cam, sped up footage, frazzled moms, a singer belting, I probably even missed a couple too.
I remember when our FOX affiliate's Kid's Club first revealed Batman: The Animated Series. The "sneak peek" involved showing the intro about every other commercial break. Every time the host introduced "another look at the new Batman," I hoped it would be a different clip, but no. . .Just the intro, over and over again, during the whole block. From the lackluster way the station promoted it, I never would've guessed it would become one of the greatest shows in animation history.
There's so much awesomeness in this video I can't even begin to comment on it all. 1992 was a truly awesome year in toys, games, entertainment, etc. I got Super Mario Kart this year for Christmas and it was such a major score. Turtles In Time was the far better TMNT 16-bit experience and I did like the take on American Gladiators in the Pebbles ad, I was watching that show religiously every Saturday on WNYW channel 5.
Ads 59-71 are from Tues., 12/8/92 since "Cat Scratch Fever" reran on Wed., 12/9/92. The remainder aired during "The Forgotten" (these are ID'ed in another video) but I couldn't find the exact airdate.
I still play both Turtles in Time and Hyperstone Heist every once in a while! Most of the Terminator 2 action figures were in my collection, especially that motorcycle.
Giga Force I recently bought the John Conner t2 3-d toy that comes with the motorcycle still in the package and in really great shape I was so happy to add it to my pretty large figure collection
I was about 12 when this happened, and this is what I consider as not being all that long ago, since I remember it all so well. Now I'm six months away from being 40 years old and wonder how I got to be this old!
Time slows down for no one it goes by so fast and we dont even realize it at the moment I cant believe it's been 30 years since 1990 I was 2 years old lol
2:47 - "Hey, kids! Invite a tortured vigilante who is haunted by the murder of his parents, and spends his days in constant torment to your next birthday party!"
15:25 "She has tiny bones" Wait, What??? My daughter just caught this as we watched, my childhood commercials. I had to rewind when she fell on the floor laughing and creeped out. Seriously, someone needs to find one of these dolls and open her up LOL!
I used to watch the kozone on fox32 Chicago every day that discovery zone commercial man that brings back memories everyone would have their birthday party there
I had the Tornado Rex board game and it was one of my favorite toys. I used to set up little action figures on the board and then let the Tornado Rex top come down the mountain to crash into them. I really regret letting the board get destroyed and thrown away. I'd love to own it again but it's so rare and so expensive now and I imagine it could never be released because the Tornado Rex character is basically a ripoff of Taz. I still remember being at Toys R Us once and they had like a whole pallet of them on clearance. I wish I would have talked my parents into buying me an extra copy and keeping it sealed in the box. Discovery Zone was one of the greatest places I ever got to go to as a kid! When I was there, I was totally pretending I was doing the Temple Run game from Legends of the Hidden Temple. It was so much fun.
Yo, when I was a kid I thought I was the only person that noticed that Tornado Rex was a rip-off of Taz, I couldn't get anybody in my family to agree with me.
I either didn't know or forgot there were toys for "Terminator 2." Does children's programming still have as many commercials for remote control vehicles, Nerf, and race tracks? Whenever I got an RC toy, its battery barely lasted fifteen minutes. I regret not getting any of that Nerf stuff. I recently found my Zapper Light Gun, so I guess I'll have to hook the Nintendo up to my old CRT TV if it doesn't work.
I remember the koz zone when I lived in North Chicago. I think I might have even seen this series of commercials on this very day they aired in this order. I watched alot of Fox 32 back then
Cheerios-the camera editing in that commercial.. The Simpsons-if i recall,Maggie spoke(with Liz's voice) at the very end Batman TAS-Heart Of Ice was a good episode..actually felt bad for Mr.Freeze Terminator 2 figures-wouldve been interesting if they made some for Predator
I'm salty that my mom didn't let me have Trix cereal. I wasnt allowed to have super sugary cereal except on special occasions. I loved trix 🤬 thanks mom
I never was lucky enough to sucker my mom into the sugary cereals. I always wanted to try cookie crisp as a kid.. Anyway my sis and I just dumped sugar on cornflakes and had delicious sugar milk to drink at the end
shellyedmb117 well Trix is not always for kids which is so messed up. I always felt bad for the rabbit not getting his cereal, even Santa Claus who's not even a kid gets to have that and not letting him to have it and thought Christmas is all about giving and sharing. It's like everyone hates rabbits but I love rabbits!
I forgot about the TMNT game ads! (4:09 I lost it at 'COWNAMI') we had Turtles in Time on SNES (have to say it was indeed better than Hyperstone Heist on Genesis... which I mean was still fun but just not nearly as good)
I miss the 90s so much..
I do too.
So do I 😔
Things were so much simpler back then. I’m so fortunate to have grown up during the 90s.
I watch these whenever I feel depressed or stressed out, it's like a time machine. I miss my childhood, maybe it was because I was a kid and didn't know any better but the 90s seemed like such a great decade before everything fell to shit.

@@misatchi good point
I do this also. Feels good know I'm not the only one. I don't know what it is but watching these are very comforting to me.
The commercials were so lively. So no wonder I wanted everything I saw on TV.
Take me back. 💜
Things made sense back then man I miss the 90s😞
I remember all of these, the 90's seemed like everything was going to be alright. It bridged and complimented the 80's nicely while giving slight glimpses of the future in a positive way, but ..now smh.
This doesn’t feel 20-30 years old, it feels like a 1,000+ years ago. What a different world we live in now💔
These were just the BEST days ever. I wish I could do it all over again... Everything was just different. These commercials took me back!! #80sBaby #90sKid
Same here avoid so many mistakes I was born in 79 but man did we have fun as a kid and we had imagination not apps
You're right, nothing compares to the 90s.
The 90s was a great time bring back the good ole days.
kinda hard to believe how much the world has changed in just 20-25 years.
they say you shouldn't look at the past but look forward. all I do is the past old games, computers, toys. sometimes these things seem like yesterday.
Brenden S Such a simpler time. We as kids were the last of the porch light, imagination, patience generation. We could spend hours playing with sticks and rocks. Bikes & Badminton. Cards and board games. Hide and seek and Polaroids.
Now, it’s all about phones, selfies, gaming and instant gratification.
Twister..”the hot spot!” Crazy how I heard it coming all these years later. Born in 89’ I lived through every year of the 90s. Take me back..
89 also!
89 here too! 👐 It was a glorious time!
This video made me miss my childhood even more. Great memories!
It seems like I was watching these commercials just yesterday...
To be young again.
Man oh man! The nostalgia is so freakin real!!! I still have my entire Polly Pocket Collection and the same Castle in this commercial. I just turned 35 and i don’t think I can ever let them go 😩
Just want to say. GREAT collection of commercials. I’m in the hood of hoods Newark and these were exactly the commercials I used to watch. #nostalgia overload. 👍
I'm 36 years old and I'm just gunna say this the 80's and 90's were a better time , everything was great, food, movies, music, ect ect, those were the last two great decades, the 2000's and beyond cant hold a candle to the 80 and 90
Thanks for sharing. I'm 30 & the 90's was an awesome time to be a kid. It was right before computers & cell phones really took over! No smart phones, no RUclips, no streaming services or too many other distractions. Just tv shows & going outside to cause mayhem!! 😉
I love, LOVE the clean, no glitches Twister commercial!!
Brought me back to my childhood days thank you 90’s babys rule
Do they even have toy commercials anymore? God I love that I was born in 86 and experienced the 90s.
I was born in 82, and remember all these commercials. I don't know if there are still toy commercials, if there is I'm sure they're all CGI and forgettable.
There's a reason Toys R Us went kaput. Kids these days just don't play with toys. It's all smart phones and tablets.

Hell, nowadays it costs $233,610 to raise a SINGLE child to age 18. And that's not including college.
Me too. At least the 90s toy commercials had jingles.
So many memories. Thanks for sharing!
“Part of this complete breakfast”. Always juice, milk, and toast lol.
And strawberries in a bowl lmaoo
OMG that Twister commercial just brought me back to being an eight year old plopped in front of the TV watching cartoons. I still remembered the jingle for it too.
Awww I remember making my mom a bouquet with Fantastic Flowers 💐
Every single commercial brought me back to when I'd get up early on Saturday mornings to watch the cartoons. Damn I miss my childhood!
me too.thats why I'm watching this commercial now.i miss the early 1990s.
The 90's, especially early to mid-90's were super colorful and not a little psychotic.
I get so emotional takes me back when i was lil kid 😪😪😪
You're not alone. Life was so much better back then, we didn't have our faces buried in smartphones we went outside and played everything was so much simpler
I can’t believe how many of these jingles were immediately recognizable. The power of advertising.
Omg that Animated Batman Series, Tiny Toon Adventures, Home Alone 2, that Nestle Quick ad..and that color blaster pencils and stencils...oh childhood come back 😭😭😭...BTW I still have my Turbo Hammer Monster Truck..my nephew loves it
Soon as I heard the Twister jingle, I knew what it was. Says a lot for jingles...and what you can remember two decades later.
I remember the order in which these commercials aired with the exception of the few local ones; mostly due to the fact that I and the other kids at school were obsessively watching Batman (including X men and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and would always be raving about an episode at lunch or at the playground, this is how we used to talk about things we liked before social media!

These were the days
That first Cheerios commercial almost feels like a modern day parody with all those '90s commercial standards - handheld cam, sped up footage, frazzled moms, a singer belting, I probably even missed a couple too.
the way that boy so calmly volunteered to tie that woman up in the quik commercial had me dying laughing just now
Well.....I JUST realized that the voice actor for the Nesquik rabbit is also the voice for Donatello from TMNT 1987; Im 35 btw.
The 90's rock
Man, I still remember the Twister jingle! These commercials are in amazing quality! Thank you for sharing this blast from the past. :)
Twister! OMG that commercial always got me jazzed when I was a kid!
I remember when our FOX affiliate's Kid's Club first revealed Batman: The Animated Series. The "sneak peek" involved showing the intro about every other commercial break. Every time the host introduced "another look at the new Batman," I hoped it would be a different clip, but no. . .Just the intro, over and over again, during the whole block.

i wanna live in the 90’s...
RIP kevin conroy! 😢❤
FOX Action Theater returns! There is so much awesome here, and it's 30 minutes long to boot!
The 90s had the best jingles. ❤️
Wonderful days of our childhood
Ah the simpler times. Damn.
This video brings me so much joy. I had disc replaced in my neck and this is about all the joy I have right now thank you
Aw....take care.
I'm still waiting for my B.O.T.S that my mom promised me 25 years ago
:(
I spent SO MANY BIRTHDAYS at that exact Villa Park Discovery Zone. The nostalgia is REAL I wanna get in A BALL PIT.
There's so much awesomeness in this video I can't even begin to comment on it all. 1992 was a truly awesome year in toys, games, entertainment, etc. I got Super Mario Kart this year for Christmas and it was such a major score.

seeing the genie from Aladdin makes me miss Robin Williams even more. Still cannot believe he is gone.
OmGosh the memories 🥺😢😭 I just realized that most of these kids in the commercials are my age🥳
Miss the 80z & 90z
Back when LEGO didn’t rely on licensed properties.
i envy the American 90s
Love the Super Nintendo Super Scope ad at 9:01
Brings me back good ol childhood days
Ads 59-71 are from Tues., 12/8/92 since "Cat Scratch Fever" reran on Wed., 12/9/92. The remainder aired during "The Forgotten" (these are ID'ed in another video) but I couldn't find the exact airdate.
When TV was good
Modern advertisers need to watch some of these and learn what worked.
Epic compilation
Back then they had such cute clothes and they looked so pretty
I still play both Turtles in Time and Hyperstone Heist every once in a while!
Most of the Terminator 2 action figures were in my collection, especially that motorcycle.
Giga Force I recently bought the John Conner t2 3-d toy that comes with the motorcycle still in the package and in really great shape I was so happy to add it to my pretty large figure collection
Childhood Memories.
I was about 12 when this happened, and this is what I consider as not being all that long ago, since I remember it all so well. Now I'm six months away from being 40 years old and wonder how I got to be this old!
You mean you were 13 when this happened, not 12?
We’re the same age. I just turned 40 a few days ago. Wanna go baaaaack to the 80s and 90s. No luck with my time machine though :(
Shoot. I'm 26. I was a baby but I have a good memory of a lot of the stuff.
Time slows down for no one it goes by so fast and we dont even realize it at the moment I cant believe it's been 30 years since 1990 I was 2 years old lol
2:47 - "Hey, kids! Invite a tortured vigilante who is haunted by the murder of his parents, and spends his days in constant torment to your next birthday party!"
Count Chocula! 😭😭😭💕💕
They still have them just seasonal now
I grew up between other countries, but I remember see that Twister commercial in other countries too! Good memories.
15:25 "She has tiny bones" Wait, What??? My daughter just caught this as we watched, my childhood commercials. I had to rewind when she fell on the floor laughing and creeped out. Seriously, someone needs to find one of these dolls and open her up LOL!

I was born on 12/2/1992 :)
I had the Tornado Rex board game and it was one of my favorite toys. I used to set up little action figures on the board and then let the Tornado Rex top come down the mountain to crash into them.

That Quick commercial is ingrained in my head
Love this! Thanks for sharing :)
I remember that Trix commercial with the rabbit dressed up as Santa. I haven't seen that in a while.
I either didn't know or forgot there were toys for "Terminator 2."
Does children's programming still have as many commercials for remote control vehicles, Nerf, and race tracks? Whenever I got an RC toy, its battery barely lasted fifteen minutes. I regret not getting any of that Nerf stuff.
I recently found my Zapper Light Gun, so I guess I'll have to hook the Nintendo up to my old CRT TV if it doesn't work.
I want some honeycomb and cheereos now
I remember the koz zone when I lived in North Chicago. I think I might have even seen this series of commercials on this very day they aired in this order. I watched alot of Fox 32 back then
Every time this commercial would come on I was say it's the Be like Mike
Cheerios-the camera editing in that commercial..
The Simpsons-if i recall,Maggie spoke(with Liz's voice) at the very end
Batman TAS-Heart Of Ice was a good episode..actually felt bad for Mr.Freeze
Terminator 2 figures-wouldve been interesting if they made some for Predator
I'm salty that my mom didn't let me have Trix cereal. I wasnt allowed to have super sugary cereal except on special occasions. I loved trix 🤬 thanks mom
It was a good cereal but wasn't super sweet.
now that you're a grown up you can eat it every day
I never was lucky enough to sucker my mom into the sugary cereals. I always wanted to try cookie crisp as a kid..
Anyway my sis and I just dumped sugar on cornflakes and had delicious sugar milk to drink at the end
😔same
shellyedmb117 well Trix is not always for kids which is so messed up. I always felt bad for the rabbit not getting his cereal, even Santa Claus who's not even a kid gets to have that and not letting him to have it and thought Christmas is all about giving and sharing. It's like everyone hates rabbits but I love rabbits!
Wow, been awhile since I've seen the Fox 32 Koz Zone stuff!
Great commercials fast traxx 1992 was a great uead thank you 😙😅
How I remember those Fox Action Theater bumpers
It’s interesting seeing familiar commercials, or just what they are selling. Also cool seeing ones I don’t remember
I kinda want a fantastic flowers maker...
I had the Magic Potty Baby was my fav toy
I forgot about the TMNT game ads! (4:09 I lost it at 'COWNAMI') we had Turtles in Time on SNES (have to say it was indeed better than Hyperstone Heist on Genesis... which I mean was still fun but just not nearly as good)
Love this channel xxx
God I haven’t had Trix in eons. Weren’t they shaped like actual fruit at one point and now they are just balls?
They brought the fruit shapes back, last i seen in stores
Nah. You just grew up and can't see them anymore.
It's a sad realization, isn't it?
@1:00 Rich Koz, aka Svengoolie
@8:25..haha i had the skate doll
SOFTWARE ETC.

Did anyone ever win free Nintendo stuff from dominoes?? I ordered so much dominoes to win something I haven’t touched it since the 90s
I remember loving the game tornado rex
