@Justus Ray what an amazing coincidence that you got somebody to try it, and someone who joined RU-vid just 2 weeks ago a day after you did. It's not a fake alternate account at all, I bet.
9/11, terrorism, endless wars, surveillance state, financial crises, social unrest, political divisiveness, a pandemic...apart from the first and last one, not too different from past decades. The 90s-post Cold War- was a major exception to the general rule
Back when Network Television was huge. Even if people had cable, people still watched all the biggest shows on the main networks. Back before DVRs and endless streaming took over. People would have to wait an entire week just to see the next episode of their favorite show. Seems like such a different world…one I miss terribly
I was 16 when these commercials aired. I hated commercials then and now here I sit, begging for the annoyances of the 90s instead of the blatantly hostile annoyances of the 2020s. Oh the irony..........
They foresaw the effects of living in our heads too much. Typing is just thought projection. They weren't wrong one bit! Only, I wouldn't consider it a good thing, necessarily...
I remember watching new episodes of Frasier, Friends, Seinfeld and Home Improvement, X-Files, ER. Bulls basketball. Patrick Mahomes was an even younger baby. SNL was still funny because they WERE funny, they didn’t have to try. Letterman, Leno, Conan. Only city people used the internet on a daily basis. Cell phones were still stupid. Britney Spears, Space shuttle launches and James Cameron brought Titanic back to life. Jodie Foster was freaked out by Anthony Hopkins. A T-Rex flipped over a Ford Explorer. What the hell is an app? No one kneeled during the National Anthem. Women wanted to be women and men wanted their women to be women. Actors could accept awards and actually only talk about acting. I could go on and on but jeeeeez I very much miss the 90s.
@@tkw79 those were the days. Everything is so different now. Really post 9/11 the world really seemed to change a lot. The 90’s seemed so much more care free.
Zoomers their *entire* lives: I hate commercials interrupting my half an hour streams! Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers as children: I hate commercials interrupting my half an hour TV shows! Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers as adults: Where can I stream half an hour of uninterrupted TV commercials?
I remember all these. I was 13 in 97. Also, people were obsessed with low fat and fat free products in the late 90s. Thought you could eat s as much since it was low fat.lmao Another thing NBC literally had all the best shows by a mile.
Try explaining to a kid that in order to put your photo online (which you'd send to people's email because there wasn't a platform outside of a personal webpage for public display) you'd have to take pictures with a film camera and not know how they came out, have them developed (which took at least an hour) and either have them transferred on a photo CD (which cost like $10) or scan them, which took at least a half hour and you would need to find someone who actually owned one. They were still very expensive and somewhat high-tech in 1997. Then when the person you sent it to downloaded it, it would take like 10 minutes and reveal line by line lol
I watch many 90s commercial compilations (born in '85)....and I grew up in NorthEast Ohio.....and no matter which one I click on, there's a 90%chance it's from a Cleveland affiliate.....wow!
Unfortunately, this is the final Jackie Chan movie I've ever watched, I've watched so many JC action movies, action styles were the same, not much of difference between his movies, I grew tired of them, but I didn't see much of improvements. After this one I gave up on him, I didn't watch his other movies, including those he produced in Hollywood. Maybe all these actions were very fresh to American audience, I wonder how long would he survive in Hollywood with the same action styles.
its funny, watching all these food commercials pizza seems to be the only thing that hasn't been affected by inflation too bad. Its only went up a few bucks where as everything else has damn near doubled!
16:55 Pat O'Brien on the voice-over for Red Lobster. Kinda cool... never knew he did commercial v/o's. 16:46 Even by high newscaster standards, this woman has a beautiful smile. 31:16 David Arquette and Lukas Haas for GAP. "Fall into the gap."
I like watching 50's - 90's commercials, especially the 80's ones. But since I am a 90's kid, it's fun rewatching the commercials of your kid years that you specifically remember watching. They now seem relevant to you now vs. just a bunch of adults yammering about some weird things that's got nothing to do with you. And "Star Predictions" for Ellen wouldn't look so hot. Yikes.
I was only 8 years old in 1997, The only TV related stuff I remember from that year came from either Nickelodeon or The Disney Channel. Those were the only channels I was watching at the time.
Cartoons network too. I turned 8 in October of 97 lol. That and 98 was the best years of my life man lol. No kids or responsibilities, was a honor student getting all As and parents giving me whatever I wanted because of it lol. Great days
Same. I turned 6 in 1997 and pretty much all I watched on TV was Nickelodeon. I remember seeing a lot of commercials for McDonald's and teeny beanie babies. lol.
This is nerdy but I like watching to figure out where and when they were broadcast. So the title say 1997. One KFC commercial mentioned mother's day so May 1997. Ford F-150 commercial mentioned Ohio and channel 3 Cincinnati. So May 1997 Cincinnati Ohio then switches to Superbowl 31 so January 1997. Then Mr Hero which is based on Middleburg Heights Ohio then a local Fox affiliate out of Cleveland
Is it me or is the narrator's voice from the KFC commercial@1:39, the actor from Home Improvement that played "Mr. Wilson?" It's either him or the popular movie voice over guy who would do the "In a world....where...." trailers.
I believe the world is what we make of it. We could live as if it's the 20s, if we wanted. It's all about you and your will. Your imagination as well. The 90s die if we let it. It dies with us. We may not be able to live in prior times, but I don't believe good times like the 90s can never be again. They can. Bad things may happen, but I'm not letting that change me or how I look at the world. Nor should any of you.
I see many comments to 90s videos about how great that decade was and how they wish they could go back. People in the 90s didn't think it was a paradise. It was the era of the Gulf War, Rush Limbaugh, the L.A. riots, the Oklahoma City bombing, the OJ trial, the murder of Matthew Shephard for being gay, the Columbine shooting, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Jerry Springer show, Barney the dinosaur, and so on. It was an anxious decade full of paranoia over the coming 21st century. Don't let nostalgia make you only focus on positive memories while forgetting the bad.
Damn, it's the short version of The Naked Truth promo - that stupid song's been rattling around my head for almost 25 years! "Téa Leoni, she's on The Naked Truth on NBC on Thursday nights after Jerry. Her name is Téa. It rhymes with Princess Leia, oh can't you see? Don't call her Tay, don't pronounce it Tee. Téa Leoni, Thursday nights on NBC!"
Has anyone noticed that we're doing everything our parents used to do about their childhood years??? Next thing you know we're going to be talkin about these kids will never know what it was like in the 90s🤷🏿♂️
That's because they never will lol. We didn't live on the internet during the 90s. We were outside with friends. Playing until the street lights came on. Or out at the mall buying the newest album.
Wasn't that Phen-fen shit taken off the market a couple years later? Also "rough waters for JFK jr and Ellen Degeneres" yikes, that aged interestingly.
