As a teenager in the 90's, I never thought that the decade had "a look"...but looking back now--the hairstyles, clothes, lingo, and general aesthetic SCREAMS 1990s.
As someone who collects retro games for the NES, SNES and Genesis, it's great seeing all these video game commercials. 94 was a great year for gaming with Super Metroid, Sonic and Knuckles, Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan), and Donkey Kong Country.
I would have been 9 years old around this time, I can't believe I remember 90% these commercials. I must have watched a lot TV back then cause the FOX was the only channel that not only came in clear but but had all the cartoons and TV shows that I liked.
My parents had these exact commercials on tape when they recorded the simpsons Halloween special. I always wondered why they recorded commercials, guess they knew one day people would want to look back at them on TH-cam lol 😆
The elves in the Sonic Commercial are Phil Fondicaro who stared in several Charles Band produced B-Horror film, and Michael J Anderson from Twin Peaks!
i know that these commercials aired nationwide, but it feels extra special that these are "Fox Philadelphia" commercials. i remember seeing most of these commercials as a child in West Philadelphia. The Fox New music REALLY took me back.
The ads used can actually vary quite a bit by region. I posted some of the ads from this same block in a previous volume: th-cam.com/video/ubagxvPXJM8/w-d-xo.html And those came from WPGH in Pittsburgh, so even within the same state you'll see differences.
@@80sCommercialVault Either way, the nostalgic feelings are still the same and i do recall seeing most of those commercials i real time when they aired.
@@Evander42117 Kinda proves my point. Yeah, on sale they become cheap. Which means they are still making a profit at $2 per. Yet where I live, they are hardly ever on sale and always expensive.
Remember the Sega vs Nintendo console war? I remember as a die hard Sega Genesis fan boy freaking out on how amazing Donkey Kong Country looked in that commercial. That is when Super Nintendo started to gain my respect.
IMO SNES had the superior hardware and an unsurpassed library of games. Sega had more aggressive marketing and cornered the “cool” demographic. That’s not to say there aren’t great games on the Genesis though.
I remember I was staying at a friend's house that night and we watched the Simpsons Halloween marathon for the first half of the night. I went home during the second half (so I missed some of Treehouse of Horror V) and caught the repeat of IV at home. I recorded the episode, but I can't remember what happened to the tape.
It's impressive that McDonald's had such big boy money to string along the likes of WB AND Disney as well as Mattel AND Hasbro and casually bring Sega along as well. Even more amusing is the thought of a corporation inviting other corporations to its 'party'.
If all this video consisted of was just the Cryptkeeper saying "D'oh!" that would have been entertaining enough! For some reason I don't remember that but any Simpsons fan will remember this year's Treehouse of Horror V!
Welcome to the resistance. Most of the ads featured in his commercial specials were taken from my channel. Without credit or any acknowledgement. He sucks.
@@80sCommercialVault dude, I was totally thinking that in some of the first ones because it seemed to even have the same artifacts in them. Sorry to hear that, man. I have kinda grown tired of him myself.
oh yeah I almost forgot the Donkey Kong Country ad referenced CD technology... bet they wouldn't be saying that if the Sony deal didn't fall through? We had Earthworm Jim back on SNES though I don't think we ever beat it. SHAQ FU I never played til years later on an emulator... yeah you ain't missing much. So many cool games during that era, good times!
@BigDreams757 She also sang the whole version of Your True Voice. You could look at one of the 1994 Whitney Houston AT&T Commercials, and you could listen to the whole song. After all "Your True Voice" was a slogan.

My mom was a manager at a McDonalds when I was a kid and we had every happy meal toy ever made. That train commercial brings back memories.
i remember this, dude im freaking crying right now...life was so good
Right I miss the 90s

I love watching commercial compilations like this and seeing how many iconic movies and games when they were new to the world.
never in my life did i think i'd ever hear the words "the simpsons is brought to you by shaq fu"
1-800-collect when you lack a quarter and record "Pick me up" for a ride.
That episode of “Living Single” is my favorite.
I miss the Fox Hallweeen Bash so much its such a shame that they stopped doing it.
Very nice and fitting touch to have the Cryptkeeper yell "D'oh!" when he hit his hand with the hammer in the beginning. Homer Simpson would be proud.
I always had a guilty pleasure for Shaq Fu on SNES hahaha!
Always loved how FOX showed a ton of video game ads during this time.
Oh my fucking Christ, I'm ready! Take me back! 1994 for life. I'm done with the present. Is this what old feels like? Fuck me...
Yes! Just stay in the 90’s forever. 1994 is a great spot to land.
Wow elementary school memories. All that mattered back then were Mcdonalds Kids meals and afternoon cartoons.

Now it's nothing but drug commercials
Wow I remember this . Thank you for bringing this back to me
recorded 26 years ago today!
I remember that Sonic and Knuckles commercial. I still have my Genesis and both of the 'lock on' games. I need to get my controller fixed, though.
2 for $2 egg mcmuffins. Now they cost $5 for one.
Name me ANYTHING else in America that went up in price by 500% in that amount of time. Try it.
I got 2 for 4 just the other day

The guy in the shaq commercial! “Size tweNtY TWO!” I’m laughing so hard it hurts!
I forgot what it was like watching commercials that didn't have a url on them. And the commercials with the pay phones? I died!
I still have shaq fu for super Nintendo.
Thank god I found this channel. Now I can finally watch vintage commercials without having to put up with Doug Walker being painfully unfunny.

2:44 & 15:29 - Your True Voice by Whitney Houston.

11:55 - And this is the moment when this kid started a countdown until he could move out...
Ha ha!! It was written all over his face!
21:25 - Somehow, I'm getting REALLY hyped for "M.A.N.T.I.S."!!
Is that Jennifer Hale doing the voiceover for the Juicy Fruit ad at 10:05 ? Sounds just like her.
Two years late buy yes! I heard it too, checked up on it and she apparently did commercials for Juicy Fruit, Albertson's. Levi's and more!
23:39 Joe Montana KC Chief days. Damn take me back.
Still have 32x right under my bed...that thing sucked. 🙄
5:23 - A future Happy meal mascot predicts the future of another franchise.
I love this !!!
14:20 it's crazy how I just watched that movie last night
Shaq Fu. The commercial was better than the game.
Shaq Fu-i guess the planned reboot isn't happening,the Kickstarter campaign failed to meet its goal(even Shaq himself reportedly contributed to it) :(
Melrose Place-Plot twist..it wasnt Amanda and Peter
90210-a very good episode..R.I.P Luke Perry
Martin-the kid whom Martin thought was his long lost son later went on to play Myles on Moesha
Avalanche-not a remake of the 1978 film starring Rock Hudson
Donkey Kong Country-JUNGLE FEVER SPREADS..and Spike Lee had nothing to do with it
Married With Children-Bud shouldve just transitioned to female
Party Of Five-after they watched the movie it became a party of six
Fox Halloween Bash-could actually see them all in a horror movie..T.C Carson would probably be killed first,Jamie Walters might do the"heroic sacrifice" bit while Laura Leighton and Scott Wolf would be the only survivors
Alien VS Predator-with Vin Diesel narrating the ad
M.A.N.T.I.S-the CW should revive this show..maybe even make him part of the Arrowverse(a crossover with Black Lightning would be good)
Double Dragon-the Chairman of Iron Chef America and Samantha Micelli vs the T1000
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaq_Fu:_A_Legend_Reborn
It came out in 2018. Got bad reviews.
I actually enjoyed the reboot. It’s a decent beat ‘em up but if you get easily offended, you’re going to hate it haha
Ahh It's Philly! Small world!!!
Ask your DR. if Saturns right for you! haha
4 out of 5 doctors recommend 😂
I always wanted to play shaq fu but never got to...😞
It's not worth it at all
Ya didn't miss much lol
Halloween wouldn't have been great without this video.
...or all the candy I got.
