Absolutely. I've talked about this in other comments but an identity of a decade takes 2-3 to take shape. Those first couple of years of a new decade are basically the previous decade.
Wish I could go back dad always said never wish your time away because one day you'll wish you had it all back, my dad died in Feb 16 2021 at least if I went back everyone I love would still be alive, but at 44 I'm not a kid and I know there's no going back time just keeps marching forward until it's our time. But your channel helps keep the memories alive love your channel.
Man, remember how awesome AOL Buddy Lists were?? You’d dial up and your Buddy List would pop up and you’d see what friends were also ‘online’. Being able to send IM’s over the computer to talk to people was so exciting
You dropped this just in the a nick of time Dave. More 2000s commercials, please! lol. Reminds me so much of my teens. 17 to be exacted. And my go to tv network at the time was TheWB. Enjoyed nearly everything on it. Buffy, Angel, Popular, Roswell, Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek, Felicity, 7th Heaven, Jamie Foxx Show, Steve Harvey Show, Wayans Brothers, Charmed and so much more. I miss those days.
I'm a 2000s kid, and was convinced that the 2000s was shit because everyone always liked the 90s and talked about how the 2000s was a decade of shitty flash cartoons. Nostalgia was inevitable for me.
excellent set of tech commercials from just before the dot com bubble bust. but for me the real winner in this set is the VW Pink Moon ad. this commercial is a masterpiece of tone, mood, lighting, color & emotion. it captures the mysteries of youth. those moments of abandonment & pleasure & discovery. & that last image of the young woman's face bathed in moonlight as she turns to look up at the moon. rarely does a commercial hit me right in the feels. the VW Pink Moon ad does just that. thank you Dave for including it.
Not gonna lie, the “Pink Moon” VW commercial @ 4:48 brings a tear to my eye. Such a different, simpler time. I wish people these days could experience the world during this time but I know it wouldn’t quite hit the way it did then.
I don't know about the whole tv on the ceiling above my head thing...what if that thing falls down while I'm sleeping?? No sir!!! LOL thanks for the memories Dave!!! oh my gosh and AOL. We've come a long way!
@4:47 - it's just a car commercial, but nothing sums up the end of the 90s than this commercial. We were young and the future only promised endless possibilities of wonder.
I graduated from high school in 2000 and remember most, if not all of these commercials. I concur with the person who said that they had a lot in common stylistically with the late 90s. You could have said these commercials were from 1997, and I'd have believed it. As a side note, if I could go back and do the past 22 years again, I absolutely would. LOL. I'd also love to spend time with my Mom again, since sadly I can't anymore.
Y2k graduate as well. Yeah what I eoild give to go back 23-2= years an play it out all over again. In my opinion the 90's ended Sept 11 2001. The worl changed that day. Technology advanced fast I mean from Vhd to DVD to blue ray to live streaming. I would love to go back to 1999-2000 might change a cpl minor things but all it all it was a fun interesting ride to say the least. I have enjoyed the last 24 years been some disappointments some triumphs have lost many good people along the way. I look forward to the day we meet again. ❤❤❤
Ah yes the early 2000’s, back when I was a youngster straight off the production line with a clear cut mission and all the optimism that I would complete it. That was before the weight of the world crushed me like a huge hydraulic press.
As always another banger set Dave, and 2000 was the year I got out of High school, and then spent about 2 years working from home for Lycos as a Chat SOS Host/Moderator(I still have the coffee mug they sent me with the black lab logo shown in the ad at 4:32, but the original logo was a Wolf Spider as that's what Lycos loosely translates to), while bouncing around various day time jobs, and eventually meeting my first fiance through Lycos chats, so lots of good memories, and lots of bad ones for me lol.
Wow! I remember so many of these so well. I graduated high school in 99. I can't believe this was so long ago. I miss these days every day. Now here I am with a daughter that's about to have a baby. My God, where has the time gone???
year 2000 was an undefined year, I was about nine years old, finishing the last half of 4th grade. What I remember most about that year was Waazzaaa UPPP! and the dancing baby becoming global phenomenons and Big pun dying of a heart attack in june. It's usually the first year that shapes what is to come for the next nine. Also the record industry died that year, The Cd was becoming a thing of the past.
Aw man, these really remind me of being back in college. Good times. I really needed to see this today, for a few reasons. In an odd coincidence, I was talking with my dad earlier this evening about going through these tapes and seeing an ad for one of the hardware stores near his place on one of them from around this time. Didn't expect to find this when I got home, as well.
Loved AOL back then...favorite browser was Netscape Toaster Breaks Pizza..ugggh SciFi Channel back in the days before Sharknado! This commercial block mustve been from a broadcast of CNet Central on Sundays
I remember these commercials. I loved the early Internet days and yelling " get off the phone before aol kicks me off " lol or "how much longer your going to be..i need to make a phone call" lol and now look at us .. I wish technology wasn't as advanced as it is now because everyone has their phone in hand or head down at all times..lol be careful what you wish for 😅
The commercial at the 10:03 point I found a bit funny with the pregnant women drinking tap water while the announcer was echoing "A little bit of lead never hurt anybody". Whoever made the ad for pur water filters deserves the official LawWonder medal of brilliance.
The early 2000s now feel like 50 years ago in some ways. Remember when "The Internet" was a big deal and you had to dial-up with your home phone line and a modem - whakka whakka whakka bringg brongg whaa whaaa what a friggin joke. Also big heavy CRT video monitors and crappy rubber ball mice, etc. but most of all the sensationalized fanfare celebration of "You've Got Mail!" like it's some kind of major event. It's kind of like going back to the invention of electricity or telephones and saying "You have a light switch!!!" or "You have a phone call!!!!!" WOW!!!!! Now it's pretty much internet everywhere on your laptop at home or touchscreen iPhone or Android thingy in your pocket permanently on-grid. I have bags and bags of cables too from the 2000s which I may as well did a giant hole and throw them into along with my many hundreds of music CDs and movie DVDs, it 's all dinosaur crap now. Twenty-two years since 2000 is like a total paradigm-shift, a different world especially in terms of computers, phones and being permanently attached to the world (or The Matrix, if you remember that movie). ;-)
Remember back during that time before all of the social networking fad came along most people used to try and pick up dates or friends by chat rooms and or message boards and you would stay on those things for hours chatting with people on a regular basis lol
The height of the .com bubble. The new millennium. I remember that year a bit. I was 10 years old at the time. Still living my childhood years. The pre-"Flo" days of Progessive Insurance. I remember those white Ford Explorers driving around in my neck of the woods. I would see one almost every day! I always wanted my parents to own a flat screen TV from Philips. They were god awfully expensive back then. New technology! The Skulls movie that starred Paul Walker, never heard of it. I know he starred in a lot of low budget films back then.
was this during SLIDERS on SCI-FI channel back in 2000 i love that series there's a few Glade candle commercials with a very unique song on them during this time i first heard them in the summer of 2000 im still trying to find them and that cool song too.
If i could ever travel back to the year 2000 and explain to my 21 year-old self, what my 43 year-old self is experiencing in the year 2022 he'd just laugh at me.
About 6 years ago, I worked at a job where predominantly millennials were employed. The subject of email addresses came up: “Anyone using AOL for email…is OLD…”was the sentiment. (OK. So I guess I’m officially the “old guy” of the group.) What kind of nonsense are THEY going to look back on with any sense of fond nostalgia? Amazon, Door Dash and streaming services?! I feel sorry for them.
This was interesting. I was slow to get the new technology so I recall others at work burning CD's etc. I gave up on CD players after the first one bought in 2003 lasted 7 years. The 3 others lasted a much shorter time. I first shopped online in 2008. We had a Mail-station at home in 2000, which was great for basic emails. I never had a DVD player, anything by Apple, or big TV. Now I use TH-cam for everything.
Anybody hear remember the poor man’s computer and way of getting online by using a device called a web TV terminal? It was about the size of a small VCR or DVD player and it hooked up to your television set to be used as the monitor lol good times
9:19 did anyone ever get to try Toaster Breaks? I'd love to know if they tasted any good because the concept is sure intriguing, like if you smashed together toaster strudel and hot pockets.
I tried them a few times. They were basically a bland thin Hot Pocket. I commented on one of Hot Pocket's posts on Facebook a little while back and asked if they could bring them back. They gave me a straight up "No" as the answer. That made me laugh! Guess they weren't that popular.
Dave's Archives, This is John Paul Wickham, Jr. of Dayton, Ohio. Do you have Dayton, Ohio from the 90s and 2000s to upload? Highlighted and reply my comment, please. John Paul Wickham, Jr. of Dayton, Ohio.
VERY interesting sound design at 6:16, i'd love to know the artist who did the "jingle." Go figure its a Sony commercial too, they always had it right. Reminds me a bit of Autechre or Plaid
I actually don't remember much about 2000. I know I was in 8th grade at the time (good lord I'm old), but not much else specific. Everybody and their grandmother really was trying to start a website back in the day. 9:18 - 9:20 That pizza looked good and seeing it destroyed like that hurts my soul. I do remember those Phillips ads. Mainly, because that song at the end got on my nerves.
I guess everyone has their own "line in the sand", but mine is around 2006 or 2007, when social media really took off. 2000 to 2003 in particular still feel a lot like the 90's, and that's fine by me.
That's why I love (and obsessed about) American commercials during the 2000's....it gave me a certain nostalgia especially since it was the "boom" of the .com websites. - What ever happened to Lycos? My mom's very first e-mail was on Lycos.com (rivaled by Hotmail.com and Yahoo.com) - When my brother started working in a company, his first laptop was an IBM Thinkpad with the small red dot acting as the "mouse"

In alot of ways the early 2000s was still influenced by the late 90s. It wasn't till about 2002-03 it felt like we were in the "2000s era".
@Matt Joseph Good point. I would say around 9/11 was where you started noticing the changes but by 02-03 it was more in effect by then.
9/11 ended the 90s
Absolutely. I've talked about this in other comments but an identity of a decade takes 2-3 to take shape. Those first couple of years of a new decade are basically the previous decade.
@@weegeemike 💯 💯
I know some people say the 90's ended with the 9/11 attacks, but everyone was united in 2001/2002. The "90's" didn't really end until 2003 with Iraq.
Wish I could go back dad always said never wish your time away because one day you'll wish you had it all back, my dad died in Feb 16 2021 at least if I went back everyone I love would still be alive, but at 44 I'm not a kid and I know there's no going back time just keeps marching forward until it's our time.

Man, remember how awesome AOL Buddy Lists were?? You’d dial up and your Buddy List would pop up and you’d see what friends were also ‘online’. Being able to send IM’s over the computer to talk to people was so exciting
That. And emails and playing with the fonts. Hell, even just typing in websites for the first time. Literally looking up anything lol
You dropped this just in the a nick of time Dave. More 2000s commercials, please! lol. Reminds me so much of my teens. 17 to be exacted. And my go to tv network at the time was TheWB. Enjoyed nearly everything on it. Buffy, Angel, Popular, Roswell, Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek, Felicity, 7th Heaven, Jamie Foxx Show, Steve Harvey Show, Wayans Brothers, Charmed and so much more. I miss those days.
I loved the 80’s , so I never thought I’d be nostalgic for the 90’s, so I really never thought I’d be nostalgic for the year 2000, but I am!

excellent set of tech commercials from just before the dot com bubble bust. but for me the real winner in this set is the VW Pink Moon ad. this commercial is a masterpiece of tone, mood, lighting, color & emotion. it captures the mysteries of youth. those moments of abandonment & pleasure & discovery. & that last image of the young woman's face bathed in moonlight as she turns to look up at the moon. rarely does a commercial hit me right in the feels. the VW Pink Moon ad does just that. thank you Dave for including it.

That Pink Moon car commercial was one of my all time favorites. I forgot it was for the VW Cabrio lol

Holy hell hearing that Phillips commercial song unlocked memories in my brain I hadn't thought about in about 20 years lol
Ah yes the early 2000’s, back when I was a youngster straight off the production line with a clear cut mission and all the optimism that I would complete it. That was before the weight of the world crushed me like a huge hydraulic press.
Yes, I understand completely. Time gets away fast like trying to hold sand as it falls from between your fingers.

I forgot all about Lycos!

The VW convertible commercial is one of my all time favorite commercials, really captures the essence of a drop top at night …
Alright alright alright, we have some 2000's now.
Still the 90s
dave... Dave... DAVID!!! WE HEART YOU! YOUR ONE GNARLY GUY!! KEEP THOSE RADICAL VIDEOS COMING!!!
I remember these commercials.

@17:00 those Bill plympton animated Geico commercials are amazing. I forgot they existed.
I had Prodigy before switching over to AOL sometime in the late 90s
In retrospect I'm pretty sure that the world economy of the late 90s and early 2000s was entirely propped up by collect calling services
2000 still had those 90's-style in your face ads.
Awesome as always Dave! Can’t wait to make my kids watch this later 😊✌️🧈📼
So many website commercials!!! Crazy to see now
The commercial at the 10:03 point I found a bit funny with the pregnant women drinking tap water while the announcer was echoing "A little bit of lead never hurt anybody". Whoever made the ad for pur water filters deserves the official LawWonder medal of brilliance.
Nostalgia outranks everything!

Lol most of the commercials had the same dark filter. Sounds about right!
*Dave you have the best intro of any Damn channel!!!...I love that ♥...Kudos Sir!!!*
I actually am seeing double. I saw the Charmin commercial almost back to back lol. Keep them coming Dave!

You bring peace.
When we thought this was the future! Lol. AOL used to be the sh*t back in the days.
I swear the commercials before 2001 where the best
was this during SLIDERS on SCI-FI channel back in 2000 i love that series there's a few Glade candle commercials with a very unique song on them during this time i first heard them in the summer of 2000 im still trying to find them and that cool song too.
How thick them laptops were 😭😭😭 not to mention, heavy. I had the teal colored iMac lol
Call me weird but I believe the world would be alot better if technically didn't advance further than flip phones and big box computers
Back when my life made sense.
Oh yes the early millennium 2000 was the last year before we were forever changed before September 11
💯
AOL those were the days!!!! 😂
I remember so many of these. Thanks!

I don’t think the 2000’s qualify as retro, in my opinion anyway. Everything good and wholesome started to die around 1998.
I guess everyone has their own "line in the sand", but mine is around 2006 or 2007, when social media really took off. 2000 to 2003 in particular still feel a lot like the 90's, and that's fine by me.
all these weird companies that failed during the dot com era are like crypto currencies now lol most of em wont be talked about in the future lol
excellent dave I shed a tear for those aol.online ads thanks!
"You've Got Mail"📬 AOL was revolutionary when we were kids. A/S/L? I would say this was the last year of innocence. Until around September 2001...
That's why I love (and obsessed about) American commercials during the 2000's....it gave me a certain nostalgia especially since it was the "boom" of the .com websites.
