/ stonedgremlinproductions / thecinemasnob www.thecinemasn... See more early videos at / thecinemasnob Brad tries out this 28 year old Batman cereal from Ralston.
I was four years old in 1989. So I went to school, graduated, joined the military, went to college, bought a house, got married and had three kids before this cereal was even opened. That's crazy.
Brad compared it to Cap'n Crunch, but I remember it being closer to Quisp. The face sticker on the bank reminds me of N64/PS1-era video games where the low-poly characters would just have textures for faces.
DUDE... SEND IN THE NIGHTLIGHT. True story, as a very young kid, I started collecting Batman comics and memorabilia (years before the movie was a thing). When the movie came out, I was utterly primed. Friends of the family _knew_ of my obsession and they would steal things from Taco Bell for me. I had the mobiles and posters and a life sized MIchael Keaton Batman cutout, but I digress. For awhile, I ate the cereal everyday and ordered _everything._ (Including the nightlight.) However, the coup de grace was a glow-in-the-dark frisbee (because nothing says frisbee like playing at night). I sent that sucker in... and waited. And waited. Eventually, I stopped collecting Batman and moved on (teens, X-Men). SIX YEARS LATER (no joke), the glow-in-the-dark frisbee arrived in the mail. I had forgotten all about it til I opened the plastic bag and pulled it out. Shit I played frisbee in the dark that night, I tell you what.
Eventually a very confused police investigator is gonna stumble upon Brad's body. "What's this sign mean? "Brad tries Cyanide"? I think he just ate poison. But why would he do that? And what's with all these bottles of crystal Pepsi. How long have these been here?"
Love Brad going, "This was sold with the advice - 'The box is unopened and the cereal is inside, but I would NOT recommend eating it'. Clearly he's never seen my show!" Brad Jones, risking food poisoning for our entertainment since 2000 (or whenever)!
Man, I don't know why I'm dying laughing in particular over this video since ive seen Brad do everything from mash beer to .. well anything ever, but man, I needed this
Probably my favorite Brad Tries video. I loved this cereal as a kid though I never got the Bat bank but I did get a set of Batman comics from mailing away for them! Those ended up being the first comics I ever had and led me into collecting them. Thanks Batman cereal!
I was born the same year this cereal was discontinued, so I never had the pleasure of tasting it myself. And I certainly can’t imagine how it would taste after 28+ years! The crazy things you try for us is gonna end you one day, Brad.
Brad should make your own cereal called "Cinnamon Snobs" that are just puffed versions of Rob's face covered in cinnamon. If anyone can think of any Cinema Snob in-joke marshmallow pieces that could go in it, post your idea! :D
2:00 Light taste? Honey?!? You would think a dark person like Batman would have a cereal with a dark taste, like dark chocolate... or gravel, so you can experience the pain and suffering of a man who has never known his parents, short of those 7 to 12 years of extreme .01%er pampering you know his parents did. Until they go their brains splattered all over little Bruce's face. What.. too soon?
I'm surprised that I never had this cereal. I got the VHS when I was 4 (shortly after it came out on video), but for some reason, I never saw the cereal in stores.
We have a Ralston factory right outside my town. If you drive that way in the morning the entire area smells like fresh cereal. They also process pet food there, so there's that.
This episode takes me back to the olden days when Brad Tries was more about how old/bizarre something was rather than something being new from insert-restaurant-here. Not that you don't still do that or that those aren't enjoyable, its just that these are far more entertaining. Nice video!
This show originated with newer products. The first episodes were on Mountain Dew Pitch Black, Deep Throat Energy Drink, Bird's Nest, Manson Cult-A-Cola. Expired products didn't come into it until later, and they were never the main focus.
@@StonedGremlinProductions This is true, admittedly. I've heard you say your first episode was with Mountain Dew White-Out, and I saw that Bird's Nest review back in the day. Also I remember you trying all kinds of new products (or at least not old/expired stuff), just not really a whole lot of stuff from restaurants. I stand by my statement that the old/expired products that you covered in Brad Tries made for the best episodes.
I remember having this cereal as a kid and absolutely loved it. A friend of my mum's who lived in America came over for a visit and she brought back this cereal. Sadly you don't get cereals like this in Northern Ireland, but I was so sad when the box was finished, lol
yeah when i put milk on those cereal its started yelling racist at me, it's not my thing. But afterwards everybody recommended the captain america civil war cereal, eventhough everybody claimed it was a far better cereal than the bvs one, i found it tasted pretty much the same.
Only read the title and knew, even without looking at the thumbnail, this was gonna be gold. 03:46 proofed me right. Oh Brad, I know you do this for a living and our thrill and entertainment, but, please, take care of yourself, 'kay? Though I must admit I burst out laughing at 04:38..:D
Glad to see you trying an older foods/drinks since you haven't done that in awhile. I don't mind you trying recent stuff, but I miss you trying the older stuff since that's what you started the series with,
Michael Sinclair Actually the series started with newer drinks. The first episode was Mountain Dew White Out. Older foods and drinks didn't come into it until later.
I still have a Batman/Superman bank that I got from a Warner Bros. store back in 2000. It's based on their appearance in the DC Animated Universe, and it was $15 well spent.
When we moved my grandmother from her home to a care home in 2006 we found we’d been eating cereal that had Muppet babies on the box. Of course it was just shredded wheat and not something coated in sugar
Brad, I appreciate the lengths you go to entertain us, your dedicated viewers, but I think eating 30 year old cereal is pushing it. We want you to entertain us, not die on us.
The title might as well be "Brad tries to commit suicide via cereal"
the cereal is the cereal killer the tables have turned
any time he tries old stuff, the title should be... "Brad didnt die immediately eating this, the proof is, he uploaded a video afterwards."
djh491 I think 28 year old cereal is a setup for braids super power origin. #keepaskingquestions
At least the milk wasn't from 89.
Do you have super powers now with these 30years old cereals ? Like pissing in a bag or something ?
Today on Brad Dies...
Didn't that happen in the Reggie Bar episode?
Batman cereal didn't kill Brad. It just chose not so save him.
Angry Spork Or rather, Brad just got himself in that predicament. So he is killing himself (except not really).
Brad: "It wasn't me, I swear to Trix!"
Batman Cereal: "SWEAR TO ME!"
@Angry Spork Best comment on TH-cam
Underrated comment 😂🤣
But it killed Waffler
Next week's Cinema Snob will be a retrospective of the show to honor the memory of Brad, who passed away after eating 30 year old Batman cereal.
And they said Batman doesnt kill XD

Cereal that tastes like cardboard :P
@@mokonarose01 Well this version of batman did just outright murder people so his cereal should do the same.
😂😂😂
5 years later he's still here
I kept saying "Brad. No." over and over. It didn't do anything.
Well, that thumbnail said everything.
Paulo Hernanndizz Batman would have ate it because he is super hardcore!
Next video: Brad Gets His Stomach Pumped.
X-D
If you watched the older Brad Tries he might of had to do that already lol
but wheres the 30 year old milk
It was too solid to use
Dani Smith the chunks give it extra flavor
Milk, just like Peanut butter, is better when extra chunky.
Alex the AnCap? You sir are awesome! 😎👍🏼
Would it just be cottage cheese then?
I love the close up shot of Bank Batman judging you as you consume 28 year old cereal.
did you buy the cereal with the Bat Credit Card ™
Mathieu Leader
You got the wrong bald internet critic.
whose bill
Mathieu Leader watch Nostalgia Critic Smurfs 2
no the Alvin and the chipmunks 2 review
Ungghhh!!! Never lLeave the Batcave Without It!
Cardboard and Milk, a part of a balanced breakfast since 1989.
they should have a Nostalgia Brand, where they release newly produced recreations of old cereals and snacks.
I had this as a kid! It had the coolest cereal box of all time. All Black
It's not breakfast you need, it's the breakfast you deserve!
Robert Sanders I am a fan of Batman and I must have this cereal!
Hey now. He isn't Doug Walker.
Now there was someone who deserved this breakfast... and a few months ago Brad apparently gave it to him
I was four years old in 1989. So I went to school, graduated, joined the military, went to college, bought a house, got married and had three kids before this cereal was even opened. That's crazy.
...and a chestburster just darts out of his abdomen...
Even chestbursters can't stand this shit.
Brad eats 30 year old cereal. Mildly surprised 30 year old cereal taste like 30 year old cereal.
*28 year old
God no.. you so brave man .. god speed..
_Dog speed!_ ...Trust me, it's faster.
JanetFunkYeah I thought dog speed wad 1/7th regular speed.
oh no no that's Tequila speed goes up to 4/7 if you fuel with burritos
BowlsofSteal lets all pray that he doesn't get hit by a car to learn about god
Watch the older Brad Tries, he's done worse.
That is possibly the best looking box of cereal in existence.
I couldn't imagine eating a cereal that old. Its only 4 years younger then me. If its aged even half as bad as I have its going to be terrible.
JounLord1 im confused are you made of ground compressed corn?
Lol! I was 5!
*Alfred:* "Can I persuade you to take a sandwich with you?"
*Batman:* "was it made in 1989?"
Your gastroenterologist is gonna make a fortune off of you, Brad. He won't even need other patients. Which is why I just signed up for med school.
I'm not ever kidding when he took that first bite of the cereal I laughed like the Heath Ledger Joker so loudly!
Michael Keaton was awesome in Spider-Man homecoming. Hell, Michael Keaton is always awesome in movies.
I can't believe you ate 30 year old cereal. Wonder when the expiration date was. You got balls. Next on brad tries Vietnam war rations.
check out steve1989's channel. He does just that.
Part of me is very interested. Part of me is scared lol.
Hes eaten stuff from the Civil War!
Just watched him eat a field ration kit from 1942. Brad I take it back just eat random obscure stuff lol.
and don't forget ashens
Brad compared it to Cap'n Crunch, but I remember it being closer to Quisp.
The face sticker on the bank reminds me of N64/PS1-era video games where the low-poly characters would just have textures for faces.
HOLY EXPIRED CORN PRODUCT, BRADMAN!
"tastes like SHIT!"

Brad Tries Poisonous Cardboard from the 80's.
Eventually a very confused police investigator is gonna stumble upon Brad's body.
"What's this sign mean? "Brad tries Cyanide"? I think he just ate poison. But why would he do that? And what's with all these bottles of crystal Pepsi. How long have these been here?"

But did you deserve it?
"Before the bat credit card"
Next moment later, very silent Doug screams.
"It takes like Johnny Gobbs died on it!" I'm dying! XD

What.. too soon?
Monroville the Batman Returns cereal was chocolate!
Brad why?
Because he started the series trying food older than 10 years old lol
I'd bet that cereal has become one with the petrochemicals in that plastic bag it's in. You're a braver man than I am, Brad!
Brad Tries? More like Brad *Dies*.
Seeing these comments, I'm starting to worry if this is going to become a snuff video at the end.
Brad, you always brighten my day and make me laugh. So glad you still do this for a living!
I'm surprised that I never had this cereal. I got the VHS when I was 4 (shortly after it came out on video), but for some reason, I never saw the cereal in stores.
You're insane for doing these videos! I love it, don't stop, Brad!
Checked the expiration date on my box of Apple Jacks and it's one year from now. So, wow, had to give you a like for not dying.
I remember this when it was new. The box was wrapped in plastic cling because there was a plastic Batman coin bank included with the cereal, IIRC.
Mad props for the dedication to follow through and swallow.
Batman's celebrating his cereals 30th anniversary this year?
This whole year is basically my 30th anniversary. Thanks, Neca.
This is the Brad tries I watch for.
Brad! You can't eat Batman cereal without a Warner Bros. ball cap!
We have a Ralston factory right outside my town. If you drive that way in the morning the entire area smells like fresh cereal. They also process pet food there, so there's that.
I seriously think about this cereal all the time 😂It was my favorite. Wish they brought it back.
Batman cereal back in the day tasted just like donkey Kong cereal, they're both basically Captain crunch with different shapes.
Ralston, aka the dog food company.
This video is documenting his super power origin. #keepaskingquestions

Bump for brad
NEXT UP: Brad tries the long awaited 'Surströmming'. Why hasn't he thought of that before? It would have been legendarily epic!
I remember having this cereal as a kid and absolutely loved it. A friend of my mum's who lived in America came over for a visit and she brought back this cereal. Sadly you don't get cereals like this in Northern Ireland, but I was so sad when the box was finished, lol
His first reaction tasting it is priceless! So funny!
Thanks for taking one for the team Brad. 😁
I still had that cereal box up until a few years ago!
The thumbnail for this video was very promising. I was not disappointed.
Proof that Brad says "mmm" no matter what is stuck in his mouth.
Not surprised it was easy to find this. Dollar stores were having trouble unloading that crap back in the day.
Don't ask me why, but I smile every time Lloyd says he is a little drunk.
These are the "Brad Tries" episodes I like to see! Stuff from years gone by.
You should try Ben Affleck's Batman cereal, it's perfectly servicable but it pisses internet nerds off
But it will also kill you.
That's GROSS!! That's *_RACISST!!_*
yeah when i put milk on those cereal its started yelling racist at me, it's not my thing. But afterwards everybody recommended the captain america civil war cereal, eventhough everybody claimed it was a far better cereal than the bvs one, i found it tasted pretty much the same.
The nasty chocolate strawberry one?
Brandon Howe don't you mean Captain America: Cereal War?
I actually have that Batbank. Have had it since I was a young kid but never knew where it came from. Thanks for answering a question of my childhood
Only read the title and knew, even without looking at the thumbnail, this was gonna be gold. 03:46 proofed me right. Oh Brad, I know you do this for a living and our thrill and entertainment, but, please, take care of yourself, 'kay? Though I must admit I burst out laughing at 04:38..:D
The little shake in his hand before putting the spoon in his mouth...
I laughed so hard
An excellent and thorough analysis. Thanks Cinema Snob!
Now I really hope brad and company get a chance to do a midnight screening of the 1989 batman lol !
I haven't laughed this hard in A very long time!!
Wow. I ate this back then and definitely used the Bat Bank to protect my change. Thanks for the memories!
Oh my god listen to how fucking crunchy it still is after 30 years.
As a follow-up do you want to try King Vitamin cereal? 😅
mnicolemortensen7 I was actually thinking of that cereal during the video. Glad to see someone else remembers that cereal.
Glad to see you trying an older foods/drinks since you haven't done that in awhile. I don't mind you trying recent stuff, but I miss you trying the older stuff since that's what you started the series with,
Michael Sinclair Actually the series started with newer drinks. The first episode was Mountain Dew White Out. Older foods and drinks didn't come into it until later.
Before he even takes the bite: Tell me something my friend, you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
I still have a Batman/Superman bank that I got from a Warner Bros. store back in 2000. It's based on their appearance in the DC Animated Universe, and it was $15 well spent.
*Sees the thumbnail*
*Says it's at least 30yrs old*
*Laughs manically knowing what the outcome would be without watching the whole video*
That half-belch, half-groan sounds exactly like his reaection to the One Chip Challenge.
After Brad tried the JR Ewing beer (and lived) I knew he could basically live forever. Hes actually a Highlander
When we moved my grandmother from her home to a care home in 2006 we found we’d been eating cereal that had Muppet babies on the box. Of course it was just shredded wheat and not something coated in sugar
I remember eating that right after seeing the movie in the theatre..nice nostalgia thanks Brad
nothing but the best foam bowls for the Snob.
Made the cereal out of the 2 muggers at the beginning of Tim Burton's Batman. That's a really good description. Those dudes were disgusting.
Today, Brad almost dies from near 30 year old cereal.
lol, that was one of the best reactions yet
"It tastes like a homeless man sleeping in it for 30 years"
Dude, I had one of those banks when I was a kid. I used it constantly for years. I don't think I have it anymore, though.
Mallory: "Thank god for corn subsidies." (drinks)
I never heard of any of these cereals you mentioned. 😂😂😂much love ❤️
Love the Batman silently judging Brad.
Brad dying from eating 30-year-old Batman cereal feels like the world's most fitting death.
I'd kill for some Nintendo cereal system again.
I have a brand new box like this one and I always wondered what can happen if you eat a 30 years old cereals...
Thank you!
Brad, I appreciate the lengths you go to entertain us, your dedicated viewers, but I think eating 30 year old cereal is pushing it. We want you to entertain us, not die on us.
Save me a bowl Brad, don't hog it all to yourself!!! It's aged to perfection!!!
I would have loved it if the cereal was just fine and the milk was spoiled
That would be the cruelly ironic Twilight Zone version.
