The odds are really good that I watched these commercials as they were being played. October of 1990 I was in the seventh grade and I watched MTV from the moment I got home after school!
I was 15 in 1990 so I watched a TON of MTV so this collection really takes me back! 26:23 I really love the Time Life Treasury Of Christmas commercial! Every year us kids would sing along to the songs advertised on the commercial every time it came on! So funny that Dolly Parton non-classic snuck on this version of the collection. I hope you post the original version (that played incessantly back in the day) during your Christmas uploads. 29:42 I must say that Al B. Sure! was my #1 teen crush, at that time, and I kinda love this PSA with him and his monobrow **sigh** Loved him...
Extremely fascinating to see what MTV was like post-80's, pre-Grunge, not even sure if other MTV uploads have tapped into those times until just now! Kinda interesting to see how many commercials that might as well be aimed at kids (for example, toyetic board games) have popped up around this time and how they're in the mix with the other more typical MTV-audience-targetted commercials, even spots for horror movies. I like the expressiveness and animation of the ID too, tbh.
I do a daily marathon of Christmas commercials every December. Last year I had 25 videos. I don't think I'm going to have quite as many this year, but I already have some stuff lined up.

The station was a low powered country radio AM format in Thomasville, GA.
Wow, Splatterhouse. Never knew the game even had a commercial. The Turbografx 16 is one of the more criminally underrated systems of the past 20 years or so.
28:45 "Wha-I-wuzzat? can't hear you! the songs your promoting from the collection are drowning your sales pitch! May need to make another soundcheck before post!"
Those post cards through the mail has always been a scam, I never ever got a reply as a kid, now as an adult, I now know that these sweepstakes receive tens of thousands of post cards and probably throw 90% of them in the trash without even opening them.
I don't get how anything about that is a "scam". They only have to select one of the entry postcards at random. What else would they do with the losing entries besides throw them away? And why would you expect them to reply to you that you lost a contest? Though a lot of these MTV contests had sketchy prizes, people actually DID win them.
I know that now as an adult, that they pick one card and throw away the rest, but as a 10 year old kid, I always thought I would of got some kind of reply, because at that time in the 90's when you wrote someone you usually get a response in the mail or phone.
From what info I could find online, the station they were giving away was a rundown AM station in Georgia where the transmitter barely worked and the winner of the contest wisely just took the 10,000 dollars. I'm sure that Billy Idol was disappointed, though.
MTV Radio Station contest-so in other words,you couldnt cuss LOL 3 Musketeers-with all those candy bars they ate surely those three have diabetes by now Club MTV-the channel's late attempt to cash in on American Bandstand The Stephen King Library-The Dark Tower film..90 minutes i'll never get back Night Of The Living Dead-R.I.P George A. Romero :( Splatterhouse-the reboot for XB360/Playstation 3 was good IMO..wish it wouldve sold well ICS-also known as the rip-off school lol MTV News-where is Kurt Loder today Playboy-R.I.P and Godspeed Hugh Hefner
The original or the remake? I don't think the remake is BAD but it certainly isn't better than the original. That movie just has a strange tone that can't be replicated. The parts where they watch the news segments on TV in particular are what make it a classic to me: th-cam.com/video/4AdWJalP1vo/w-d-xo.html
Night or The Living Dead movies, why has the zombie theme been so prevalent in the present decade (2009-2019) ? All because of The Walking Dead TV series? There has been so many other TV and movies made on the zombie theme it's got people thinking that it will happen for real !
"28 Days Later" (2002), "Dawn Of The Dead" (2004) and "Land Of The Dead" (2005) kicked off the current zombie craze IMO, along with a lot of video games like Dead Rising, Resident Evil etc. "The Walking Dead" just turned it into a mainstream TV thing.
That Night of the Living Dead remake is one of the most pointless remakes ever. The same director helps make the same movie in color, just to prove that the movie doesn't work as well in color. Thanks, Hollywood!
Tom Savini actually directed the remake under George A. Romero's supervision. Romero got no residuals from the original because of a screw up in the credits that rendered it public domain, and was worried about someone else making an "unauthorized" remake...so I can kind of see why he thought it was worth remaking for that aspect alone. At least it's not as bad as what he did for the "30th Anniversary Edition" DVD of NOTLD: th-cam.com/video/2fq8SjkCcWo/w-d-xo.html
Ah, old MTV and their (at the time) edgy, irreverent craziness. I feel like watching an episode of Beavis & Butthead... And M.C. Hammer was taking over the fucking world back then, too. I remember that...NOT. No thanks to that goddawful cartoon...And hey, I would actually read a Playboy mag that I've hoarded for the past 20 years. Fuckin' lit 90's chicks, yo.

Perfect piece of MTV in 1990. The video games, the commercials for all the schools, and the music.
The odds are really good that I watched these commercials as they were being played. October of 1990 I was in the seventh grade and I watched MTV from the moment I got home after school!
The BEST 90's commercial YET!!!!
I was 15 in 1990 so I watched a TON of MTV so this collection really takes me back!

I love your channel. You truly take me back. I really hope you have Christmas commercials during the 90’s and all. That’ll take me more back lol

oh shit, i remember those time-life mysteries of the unknown books; my friend's mom had them and we spent hours freaking ourselves out. great times
I remember those art test. I submitted one and received a grade of 80%. Would love to have those crazy calls.
I miss those Time Life books commercials

Funny enough, the prize went to a college radio DJ in California. The station was a low powered country radio AM format in Thomasville, GA.
From what info I've found she did not actually take or use the station and just took the prize money
I'm not surprised. This struck me as one of those prizes where the winner would more likely take a cash equivalent if it was offered.
Wow, Splatterhouse. Never knew the game even had a commercial. The Turbografx 16 is one of the more criminally underrated systems of the past 20 years or so.
Back when MTV , Vh1, & BET were all about REAL music. Its a shame that you don't see that anymore.
The music in that MGD commercial is absolutely mental. Wonder who wrote that.
That first one is my favorite

THANK YOU !!!!!!

You think that people have to OPEN post cards??

Did anyone win the Radio Station ?

I have heard of giving Iggy Pop a few spins on my record player but this is ridiculous!

Kurt Loder is on Sirius XM last I heard -- there are other VJs on SiriusXM too
Does anybody know who the voiceover guy with the deep voice in the Guitar Rock commercial is?
BTW did that biopic ever get made? also MOAR MTV COMMERCIALS!!
Even though the original Night of the Living Dead is a million times better than the remake, I still enjoy it to this day.
