Was trying to remember why I always say, "Don't hog it all!", and of course it's just an old commercial taking up space in my brain.

 

Just THE best commercial. Also the Scary Movie 2 parody rules.

 

Wait that was Nike? I coulda sworn that was And1

 

I still to this day say the opening French line both in the Muzzy voice and the little girl’s pattern lol. And then I will definitely follow up with “yes that’s French they’re speaking, and no these children aren’t French…they’re American.”

 

I don't know if this was national, but anyone remember the Corn Nuts "Bust a Nut" radio commercial from the '90s?

 

It was a direct shot at And1 and their place in the market. There's a Netflix doc about the rise and fall of And1 that goes into it

 

According to the video description, it was uploaded by the jingle writer who said it aired for real in a few west coast markets and never got pulled.

 

Yes. I remember hearing it on 92.3 The Beat, LA's hip-hop station.

 

God I think I can still taste those things. The sugar content in those had to be like 3 sodas worth

 

Kids Incorporated. Starring Love Hewitt.

 

I do not recall Eric Balfour being a KIDS Incorporated star haha.

 

Wow I didn't even recognize him. I don't think I ever knew that guy's name.

 

Remember when they had to stop selling these new chips because they caused "anal leakage"?

 

Wait wait wait what

 

They were made with Olestra, a fat substitute that essentially just passed through you body without absorbing, unfortunately everything else you ate would also pass through, many times unwantedly.

 

Made my girlfriend watch this recently. Still so weird.

 

Holy shit lol

 

How havea inever seen that. That is fucking wild.

 

That was so uncomfortable

 

Marc Summers was on the WTF pod a few months ago, great interview and they talk about that moment

 

did he get into like, wtf happened that caused that? Or what happened backstage after the show? Did they ever talk again?

 

I remember seeing this years ago. Both dudes just suck ass. My instinct is to immediately shit on Burt, but then Im like.. said big Marc is also a turd. Burt is like the epitome of, “toxic masculinity,” and I’m almost 100% sure Marc is a MAGA guy.

 

Just thinking about this Diet Coke commercial that was on the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade VHS.
