"Ahhh, the marshmallow ball, stop scaring me!" IDK if I'm not completely sober this morning or something but I found that extremely funny. I know I'll be saying that all day now... *Crosses fingers for a Liquid Television commercial soon*
Man I wish I was old enough to have watched MTV back then, lol. I didn't start really watching it until I was 13 in 1999. My parents thought it was an abomination, but man it seemed to much funnier back then. Now it sucks.
I wondered how exactly they would do a baseball card with some kid in it. In the baseball card you see some kind of blurred out spectators. They probably meant you were one of the spectators on the card.
theses commercials reminded me that ppl exercised alot more back then and mtv was music not lame snooki :( back then every show had a special episode XD
Wow, the Douglas Coupland MTV station ID. Amazing. I remember listening to radio ads about "Trashed" when I was in 5th grade, and the show just seemed horrifying to me. I imagined being forced to be on the show as an adult and having my teddy bear or my American Girl doll demolished on the show!
Wow...this is a weird set of commercials. From Growing Pains to an Oscar nom in two years... Back in 1999, I thought Jon Stewart was taking a big step back when he agreed to take over a so-so current events program on Comedy Central. Shows how much I know. Given the usual prize payout for cable game shows, Trashed sure seems like high risk for little reward. My gym, in 2011 money, costs only a bit more than $39 a month, so why would anyone choose to buy a SoloFlex over a gym membership?
I have a love/hate view on MTV. While I liked it when I was younger, looking back they did have some garbage programs. Not unlike the kind they have now. Some shows I think to myself, "I can't believe I sat there and watched this thinking it was cool." If I were to be honest, MTV has always been a double edged sword. While it's done great things for music and pop culture in general, it did help influence a lot of the crap we have now. Biggest being reality tv shows. As much as I don't want my kids to watch it, like my parents didn't for me, MTV is like a right of passage. Teens and kids get all into it, then many of them grow out of it.
GNC STILL copies the GMC logo today. I know that they're not affiliated by GM. So why would they steal GMC's logo anyhow? However the rest of the MTV cads are awesome.
"weight gainer" hmm, interesting. I LOVE "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" Leo Dicaprio was actually nominated for an Oscar for that tonya harding is such a ghetto chick notice that there's a disclaimer in the Nordic Track ad that says "commercial does not depict actual customers" heaven forbid they actually get someone who had used the thing the last station ID looks similar to the style of "Ren & Stimpy"

Was I the only one who did the "shoe lace draped off the doornob" Nordic Track imitation?
Trashed was actually pretty fun. Sadly, MTV will no longer buzz us in. Ever.
The voice that says "get up" seemed to have been replaced by the voice that says "WHHYYYYY!!!!""

0:30--Interesting that GNC is advertising a product that promotes weight gain.
Now that's the mtv I grew up with!!!
Back when MTV was "Music Television."
@bitpym Is it him in the ID or is he just providing the voiceover?
"weight gainer" hmm, interesting.

Wow. When you had to win contests meet a celebrity
@bitpym Okay, thanks.
Almost completely stereotypical Gen-X era commercials. Interesting look at history.
@VictorianSlaughter2 lol this made me laugh too.
RATM!
