I wonder if that’s the voice of Sheryl Leach, the creator of the show? Sorry if this sounds outlandish, but the way she said the word “diapers” makes her sound like she’s from the South, and Barney was produced in Texas.
Today is the 23rd anniversary of tragedy that took place right after this ad played. Fascinating how this could be considered the last "breath of the 90s" before everything changed drastically. I didn't even know this was a real commercial that played until I heard it sampled in the "Financial News" track from Cat System Corp's "News at 11: Liberty Edition" album.
God, this scene is so good You're on toaster and the gang's side at first because they are just trying to hold onto whatever little hope they got while AC lost that hope long ago But then, at the end, right after kirby utters, "Because you're stuck in the wall!" You can tell he struck a nerve so deep. He literally killed himself in his anger. And it wasn't on purpose. AC just wanted to feel appreciated. This may have been made for kids, but it was for everyone. Thank you Jerry Rees
There was "Ronald McDonald And The Adventure Machine" that came along a few years before "McTreasure Island". There's also 2 McDonald's Family Theatre videos (one of which being "The Wish That Changed Christmas"/"Holly And Ivy"). Then, in the 2000's, there was McKid's Adventures.
