A commercial that has been burned into your memory

I'd be impressed if it was shot with a second hand camera as they claim. A lot of work went into putting that together.

I would imagine the camera used was something like this Sony HDR-UX7 digital handicam from the early 2000s. The camera might have been amateur and second-hand but the commercial was still shot using a professional crew who know how to film, light, composite, and edit it to get the most bang for the buck from the camera they were using.

True there! I could tell especially where the lighting is concerned such as the added reflection inside the hole the guy was about to stick his eye through.

The commercial crew may also have done a test shoot with several different cameras from the same second hand retailer before picking the Sony as the most suitable camera for the final shoot.

This commercial was almost as bad as the Sears AC commercial. I t was VHs and later DVD for Shirley Temple movies. It aired on Cartoon Network all the time for most of the 2000s. Because I'm sure most kids from that time will know who Shirley Temple is. Shouldn't this commercial have aired on TV Land instead?


This commercial aired in the late 90s and 2000s. I never knew one kid who got these magazines but they lasted for years.



I thought this commercial was a local one because of how low budget it is. It was apparently national.

Not so much visual, but audio.

At a store I used to work awhile ago, the department I ran had low hanging ceilings and so I would work right below the speakers.

There was a Charmin ad that would repeat "MY HINEY, SO CHARMIN SHINY! MY HINEY, SO CHARMIN SHINEY!" over and over and over.

I still hear it sometimes when I try to sleep.

The Zoobooks ad really takes me back to late nights watching Cartoon Network on Friday and Saturday in the late 90s, watching shows like O Canada and Toonheads.

This was another commercial that would play seemingly every night.


Also, not a commercial but does anyone remember the Cartoon Network Groovies that would play during that time?

These Soul Coughing ones are the first ones that spring to my mind.

This Bing ad:


The Asian woman is Gemma Chan, who is now an actor of some notoriety, having appeared in Sherlock and Captain Marvel, but really what makes it is the blonde woman. Her facial expressions, especially after the first "you talkin' to me?" just slays me every single time.

Also, this classic:


The bear does the Muhammad Ali shuffle at one point. Brilliant.
 
This even though it isn't the actual commercial.

My 5th grade class had these, since they were approximately that reading level I guess. The tests for them were ridiculously hard compared to every other book comprehension test though. I'd guess that primarily schools and libraries had these more than anyone else.

I can't find it on YouTube, but once in the dead of night I saw a similarly cheap commercial, but it was some sort of anti-drug thing. I'm still not sure if I dreamed the whole thing up or not.
 
This used to scare the shit out of me. They did several of these and they all had the same music.

I know this is a YTP but hear me out, I acutally saw this as a real ad on Youtube in 2014. I guess some troll bought some ad time and put that in.

I didn't see this one on TV, instead it was in a fail compilation I found on youtube.
 
Although I'm not black I sometimes find myself thinking about that old commercial where the ghost of Fredrick Douglas roasts some dude's afro.
