I'd say the Steve Irwin one aged well, not poorly.

It would have aged badly if the joke was something like "Steve Irwin is so skilled at handling animals that he could never be injured by one."

The closer the house of cards came to collapse, the more they advertised. I actually thought they might be able to pull it out in bankruptcy. I bought 10,000 shares of Enron when they were at $0.03 a share...just in case. The stock was delisted a few days later. That experience was the main reason I didn't buy Bitcoin in the early days.

Since I've seen a bunch of people ask about the Ford commercial: A 16 year old boy named Kyle Plush was killed by one of those folding seats (in a Honda Odyssey) in 2018. He was crushed/pinned by the rear folding seat. Tragic case, especially considering he was able to use Siri to call 911 twice, only for police to fail to locate him. His family found him 6 hours after he made those calls.
To be fair there was a significant period of time where steroid use in sports was not as taboo because of its ubiquity in the body building and sport communities. Hollywood runs on cocaine, and for a while ‘roids ran sports.
My favorite 90s commercials are the ones that say "Get ready for back-to-back decades of financial prosperity and political unity!" in reference to the upcoming millennium. Oh how naïve everyone was back then lmao
And life insurance and online casinos... "Oh My Gosh, you're still using Mom's old coffee pot!" "COME ON, GIVE FOX THAT KING, STEVE." "You won't be the bad guy, you'll be sympathetic..."
The prescription drug ads are just big pharma's way of driving up prices, and because prescriptions, life insurance, and reverse mortgages are the only things society thinks can be marketed to Boomers these days. (Also if you're over 18 and watching TV between the hours of 9a-5p, you're either a Boomer retiree, or unemployed & on disability...due to Camp Le Juene, Round Up, a medical error, a car accident, or something else that could be part of a class action lawsuit.)
Dear lord when that commercial with the airplane flying next to one of the Twin Towers,started playing? I immediately braced for the worst out of instinct. Didn't help that it has a cheerful soundtrack playing in the background 😂
Funny that ad didn't bother me. They had no clue when they made that commercial that he was going to die in the same fashion. You could say funny but eerie at the same time.
@@rfe8nn2 I think it's because Steve was the man everybody wanted to know better. He was the surrogate friend, father, brother, and all-around nice guy that we just can't seem to find in the world anymore.
@@DonkeyKongBMAC That's the dumbest thing I've heard all week. He had absolutely no reason to fake his death. Moreover he loved his family and loved life. I would give my left nut to have a tenth of the life he had.
I'd say this commercial aged well because Steve Irwin's death might have been the most predictable of all time. He was risking death every time he got up close to one of those dangerous animals. The most unexpected part of his death was that he died from a stingray and not, say, a rattlesnake or tarantula.
4:44 I mean, nice thing about the concussion one is at least it had a strong element of "if you have a concussion, you're not going anywhere near the field." Actually impressive in a time when concussions weren't taken as seriously, especially considering we still have coaches and parents today that would have them still play. Sure, it was tongue in cheek, but that's par for the course with most commercials. It even directly said "Not going anywhere for a while?"
That AT&T not only aged poorly because of the Twin Towers which suffered the 2001 attack, but also the fact that the 1996 Atlanta Olympics ALSO had a terrorist attack, when someone detonated a bomb at Centennial Olympic Park. AT&T happened to mention both things that suffered terrorist attacks, which aged it really poorly!
what kills me is that the WTC had ALREADY been bombed in 1993, so as early as 1996 this would have made marketing executives beat their heads on their desks in shame
I didn't know why that Dianetics ad was poorly aged, I didn't even read the author....then I decided to look it up and yeah....let's just say tom cruise probably would have endorsed it given the chance
Coach wasn't worried about the concussion, he was worried about getting a penalty for an illegal substitution. You can't add Batman to your team mid-game.
Steve Irwin was a comedy genius just as well as a great and wonderful human being. Even in his "death video" supposedly he said to not blame the animal, that it was "just protecting itself/doing what its instincts told it" or something along those lines. Dont be sad that he's gone. Be glad he graced this world with his teachings and lessons in the time he did have with us.
Can you do Poorly-Aged 2000's commercials? One Ad that comes to mind is the 2003 Six Flags New Orleans commercial with a song playing in the background with the lyrics "The Thrill that Never Ends".
Honestly we could have predicted Enron's fall from the markets they thought would work. Weather prediction and reaction? Broadband brokering when everything internet was done by cable and modem? Nobody understood how to do these things even in theory.
@@michlo3393 The pole vaulter commercial is the World Trade Center, but the commercial with the plane flying close to the building is the AON Tower in Chicago (which looks very similar to the old twin towers).
I was trying to go to a few timestamps in a video after having watched it already and got an 8 minute unskippable commercial ( 1st of 2 ) in order to watch the video. RUclips getting crazy with the ads.
wow, you got me with both the thumbnail and first second of the video LOL and there's one specific frame of the guy polevaulting upward that shows him upside down against the backdrop of the building, and my heart actually skipped. I didn't think I could still be so viscerally affected after this much time
That’s because 90’s commercials have better scripted character, & world development, & fewer plot holes in under 30 seconds than any current, hour long tv episode.
I'm right there with you I would even love to go back to school and I hated school when I was growing up lol. Only if I realized how good of times they actually where.
*Family Guy, Bill Cosby:* "Now, you will get ready for the zim-zam and the babbity-bibbity! And get ready for the most splendiferouos pudding-pop you have ever seen!"
I know everyone is going to talk about the two WTC commercials for obvious reasons, but man that Crocodile Hunter commercials was pretty dang eerie itself. Rest in Peace Steve Irwin
That one was so sad as well, I agree. Had a similar feeling watching that as the AT&T wtc one. "Well, This isn't bad......oh." RIP Steve, a really sweet dude with a great legacy ❤❤❤🙏🏽
For me that was one of the ones that was less sad, and more of a facepalm. They took a guy with a dangerous job, and played up one of the job's most likely occupational hazards for laughs. I was alive at the time, I remember how everyone thought Steve was invincible... and this commercial suggests either he *also* drank his own Kool-Aid about this how this could never actually happen to him, or he just didn't really care how it would look in hindsight (understandable, since in that case he would already be dead anyway). It would be like having a famous stunt man get in a near-deadly accident as a commercial gag. Or a famous snowboarder getting caught in an accident. It's less "unforeseeable tragedy" and more "pretty likely scenario that they do their job in spite of."
@@geneparmesan8748Pretty sure Steve Irwin was acutely aware of the danger, danger, danger. But also things were different back then and people weren't so serious all of the time. So he was probably still able to joke about it, like dark humor

All of Bill Cosby's handlers, producers, anyone known to have worked with him regularly, should be interviewed or otherwise held under close scrutiny to determine their level of involvement.
I see, so you don't think for yourself, your presenting yourself like a moron, that you're not intelligent enough to look at cases, look at what really happened. First let me lay out why Cosby was eventually released from prison, The appeals court was, split because the court found that Cosby was unfairly prosecuted because the previous district attorney had promised the comedian that he wouldn't be charged over Constand's accusations. Cosby was charged by another prosecutor who claimed he wasn't bound by that agreement. The court concluded that prosecutor who later brought the charges was obligated to stick to the nonprosecution agreement, so the conviction cannot stand. The justices wrote that "denying the defendant the benefit of that decision is an affront to fundamental fairness, particularly when it results in a criminal prosecution that was foregone for more than a decade." The problem with the whole case from the beginning was dealing with accusations that we're not reported at the time and we're essentially hearsay. These accusations raised by dozens of other women, including the five who testified at his 2018 trial, often go back decades and are most likely too remote to prosecute. We are not in the Salem witch trials anymore. There has to be a cut-off point. Memories fail even things you think you remember are different Maybe you're too stubborn to a minute but in my own life I know there are things I remember as a kid or for my early twenties that now in my 40s are different especially when I collaborate them with people who were there. Our judicial system and our policing system is based on they use bad science It's junk signs stuff like eyewitness testimony going through and looking at mugshots This has been proven by actual science to be pseudoscience but we still use it because it's easier for the cops and they know that simple idiots like you will buy it. You don't care to put away innocent people as long as a show trial takes place. I want to help with it but women need to help themselves first If a crime does happen they need to report it If I'm out one night and somebody stabs me and I wait 15 years and then come out and say I've been stabbed and I want retribution that's not going to fly If I'm stabbed I need to report it right away. There was one woman who made an accusation on Cosby and she still hung out with him still talk to him like everything was normal until years later when she made the accusation. This is what the prosecution was trying to deal with was looking through all these bogus stories. I'm not a defender of Bill Cosby The guy cheated on his wife but how many in Hollywood do that how many people just do that in general I've been cheated on. Countless people have been cheated on there are people who cheat and there are people who don't That's it I don't hate all women because I've been cheated on because some women have cheated on me doesn't mean anything That was on them as a human being. I just implore people to use their mind and reason instead of just buying whatever the narrative is because usually you're being given propaganda you're being lied to because there's a corporate interest at stake.
Guy falling by the WTC, yikes. Steve Irwin- maybe he needed fed ex for the antidote for stingray venom. Lance, you were on all kinds of PEDs, nice blood draw part of that commercial.
I've always liked the Enron "Why" commercials. I believe they were mainly out in the summer and fall of 2000 and they always sound so urgent. Knowing the things that would happen in the next year and a half makes them seem more poignant.
I winced at the plane flying by the WTC Twin Towers in the UPS one. That one was harder to watch than the pole vaulter one because I remember those ads for the 1996 Olympics and with the singers singing "Georgia on My Mind." The plane one felt like I was witnessing the attack again.

He died at 44. That's a ripe old age for a crocodile hunter.
For me that was one of the ones that was less sad, and more of a facepalm. They took a guy with a dangerous job, and played up one of the job's most likely occupational hazards for laughs. I was alive at the time, I remember how everyone thought Steve was invincible... and this commercial suggests either he *also* drank his own Kool-Aid about this how this could never actually happen to him, or he just didn't really care how it would look in hindsight (understandable, since in that case he would already be dead anyway).
It would be like having a famous stunt man get in a near-deadly accident as a commercial gag. Or a famous snowboarder getting caught in an accident. It's less "unforeseeable tragedy" and more "pretty likely scenario that they do their job in spite of."
@@geneparmesan8748Pretty sure Steve Irwin was acutely aware of the danger, danger, danger. But also things were different back then and people weren't so serious all of the time. So he was probably still able to joke about it, like dark humor

4:15 this one is just sexual assault, even back when the commercial first released it was iffy
4:45 in the 90s they didn't really know how bad sports-related concussions were
5:15 Steve Irwin would later die by being attacked by a stingray

@@bingonamo7520Bro has NO CHILDHOOD. Not only that you have no idea who HE EVEN WAS.
All of Bill Cosby's handlers, producers, anyone known to have worked with him regularly, should be interviewed or otherwise held under close scrutiny to determine their level of involvement.
I see, so you don't think for yourself, your presenting yourself like a moron, that you're not intelligent enough to look at cases, look at what really happened. First let me lay out why Cosby was eventually released from prison, The appeals court was, split because the court found that Cosby was unfairly prosecuted because the previous district attorney had promised the comedian that he wouldn't be charged over Constand's accusations. Cosby was charged by another prosecutor who claimed he wasn't bound by that agreement.
The court concluded that prosecutor who later brought the charges was obligated to stick to the nonprosecution agreement, so the conviction cannot stand. The justices wrote that "denying the defendant the benefit of that decision is an affront to fundamental fairness, particularly when it results in a criminal prosecution that was foregone for more than a decade."
The problem with the whole case from the beginning was dealing with accusations that we're not reported at the time and we're essentially hearsay. These accusations raised by dozens of other women, including the five who testified at his 2018 trial, often go back decades and are most likely too remote to prosecute. We are not in the Salem witch trials anymore. There has to be a cut-off point. Memories fail even things you think you remember are different Maybe you're too stubborn to a minute but in my own life I know there are things I remember as a kid or for my early twenties that now in my 40s are different especially when I collaborate them with people who were there. Our judicial system and our policing system is based on they use bad science It's junk signs stuff like eyewitness testimony going through and looking at mugshots This has been proven by actual science to be pseudoscience but we still use it because it's easier for the cops and they know that simple idiots like you will buy it. You don't care to put away innocent people as long as a show trial takes place. I want to help with it but women need to help themselves first If a crime does happen they need to report it If I'm out one night and somebody stabs me and I wait 15 years and then come out and say I've been stabbed and I want retribution that's not going to fly If I'm stabbed I need to report it right away. There was one woman who made an accusation on Cosby and she still hung out with him still talk to him like everything was normal until years later when she made the accusation. This is what the prosecution was trying to deal with was looking through all these bogus stories. I'm not a defender of Bill Cosby The guy cheated on his wife but how many in Hollywood do that how many people just do that in general I've been cheated on. Countless people have been cheated on there are people who cheat and there are people who don't That's it I don't hate all women because I've been cheated on because some women have cheated on me doesn't mean anything That was on them as a human being. I just implore people to use their mind and reason instead of just buying whatever the narrative is because usually you're being given propaganda you're being lied to because there's a corporate interest at stake.
I live in Atlanta so that Georgia on my mind commercial was played often. But seeing it now kinda F’ed me up a bit. I don’t like it one bit.
