I am watchng this in Japan. Only old guys know Zatoichi the kids dont care. My cool older artist pal went out drinking with Katsu! H e would just go out and buy people drinksall around him. He was a big drinker- Katsu that is. Such a great montage. good on ya.
I hope everyone who has come across this piece of art nothing but good health and blessings. This connects us in a way. 🥳🤝 I found this when I was a sophomore in high school. As of today I’m 26 years old. Still bumping it 🔥🙌🩵
@@noeuriostegui3985 Thank you for continuing to check it out! Made this almost 20 years ago now and I'm always happy to hear that people still dig this 🤘 and my bud who made the song thanks you as well !
Came back 10 years later I was in a ROUGH patch in my life when I listened to this. Making moonshine in an attic, smoking, etc and this bring back MEEEMMORIES. Thank you for making this ❤
I remember half of these commercials because I’m from Boston and those are my stations ( WFXT-TV is Boston’s Fox 25! And WLVI is the CW ( known as the WB 56 at the time!)
In case you didn't notice The Kids Superpower Hour with Shazam was included in the Hero High The Complete Series DVD set uncut and unedited including the NBC Saturday commercial bumpers .
It should be noted that the ads combined here are for two different kinds of "Freak Phone." The first, with Freddy Freaker, was essentially a "chat line" that people could call to get linked up on a common line with other random strangers who called the line. It was a way to meet people anonymously and talk about, well, anything...before chat rooms came along. I remember seeing this commercial with my younger sister and cracking up...we thought the line "Party ''til you drop!" was especially hilarious...I mean, seriously, it was supposed to be THAT much fun talking to strangers on the phone?? And Freddy Freaker was just too funny. Such a cheesy cheap ad. We couldn't help but laugh.
If you didnt grow up in the 80s.... 1900 Hotlines were a scam. It was a tape system that was touch tone activated... theyd have tapes that told stories, jokes.. advertised stuff. From what I've heard this one was like bad jokes and spooky stories. They usually charged by the m the so the longer they kept you on the more the phone bill was.
@@DanJackson1977 Fun Fact: All those bad jokes are scary stories are now considered "lost media" meaning there is no known recording of them, which is probably the same with alot of those 1900 hotlines, but the Freddie Freaker ones are more sought after due to its meme status
I'm legit curious to know if John Hughes ever submitted an appeal to the MPAA to have this film rerated PG. It would've been rated PG on appeal for a scene containing harsh language.
Oh God, I had completely repressed the Safety Kids and those terrifying jingles. Now they’re back. Help. But seriously, thanks for uploading the memories. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to get that vacant lot song out of my mind…
The only thing wrong I can think of with this scene, is 0:12-0:17. Instead of editing out the f-bombs which feels very choppy, Steve Martin should've dubbed his lines from scratch instead.
I don't favor censorship, but I don't find the punchline as funny as you do (you said that you watched it in the theater). It's supposed to be a joke that Steve Martin drops a series of f-bombs only for the clerk to drop an f-bomb. I don't know. I don't find it funny, and either version doesn't pace poorly for me. I find the Casino desert argument scene (where Joe Pesci drops 20 f-bombs) to be hilarious. The TV dubbing of that movie was comedy gold.
That's the thing about comedy... its subjective. Comedy hits everyone differently. My only point is... I've never seen a crowd of several hundred people hyperventilate and double over with laughter like I did with this scene. 🤷♂️
@@DanJackson1977 At one time, I might've found it funny. I'm guessing the only reason I don't find it too funny now is because everyone swears nowadays.
