    Iconic Nineties and Noughties Commercials

    head on apply directly to the forehead head on apply directly to the forehead head on

    "Attention women: trans vaginal mesh implants are dangerous..."

    "WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN!"

    "[''Cause I'm your ladyyyyyyyyy] imagine owning the world's greatest love songs ,[and you are my maaaaaan] by the greatest voices of our time [Tell me how am I supposed to live without you]"

    BTW the Ultimate Love Songs playlist is on Spotify and it SLAPS. I would smooch Michael Bolton so hard but tender.

    I got mega depressed and it kinda triggered these hella specific memories. Tonight, those late night commercials from our young days that would often be that reminder that maybe it's time to go to sleep! Or you'd tell yourself you'll just stay up to the next night and be awake for 31 hours no big deal then crash out at noon and wake up with a weird headache that wasn't a headache.

    What are the commercials imprinted in your brain from your late night... uh... days?... You know what I mean.

        I don't spend a lot of time with my family, but when I do, they like to tell old stories. My mom loves to tell everybody that I learned how to use a VCR by the time I was about 2 years old (which makes sense, the TV and VCR essentially were my mom and dad). Because I learned how to use the VCR, I had recorded a bunch of different movies from basic cable and such onto VHS. I had recorded Disney's Robin Hood and the Crossfire commercial was in that recording about every three commercial breaks. That one, and the Connect Four commercial, and Perfection. They loved to tease me about how I'd sing those jingles all the time like my lullabies.

        Oftentimes when I lay down at night, if my mind doesn't try to shut down like an old bar in a Podunk town near Kansas City, playing journey's "Lights" in my head, it'll play one of those classic 90s board game jingles.

        put the pieces into the slot make the right selection but be quick you're racing the clock wow pop goes perfection

          I vividly remember the Nintendo and Sega commercials from the 90"s that so perfectly encapsulated the 'LOUD and EXTREME' aesthetic of that era. SEGA!!!!

            Oh man, the SEGA commercial from ~93, "Right now, it costs up to $10 more to play certain games on Super Nintendo than to play the same games on SEGA Genesis!" A mosquito lands on the kid's forehead, he whacks it with a newspaper and the crossword puzzle says something like, "THISISTHENEXTL[EV]EL!" and there's two letters in one box because they didn't think about having a number of letters properly fit the space.

              Hehe. As a Nintendo fanboy, I do find it particularly delicious that every single developer/publisher who was like "We're coming for your lunch money Nintendo!" in their commercials back in the day is now making games for Nintendo consoles.
