90s Commercials! Zoobooks, Muzzy and Better Blocks! - Erin Plays 

Glad I’m not the only one who looks up old commercials on RU-vid. Just last night I was watching old Sega Genesis and McDonald’s commercials!

I was an adult when this stuff came out. My childhood was the days of "I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!!!" that and "CLAP ON! CLAP OFF! THE CLAPPER!!!"

Woah, this makes me comfortable, seeing someone my age, being nostalgic about these commercials; it's just, wow!

It makes me happy to know that I'm not weird for watching old school 80s and 90s commercials/Cartoons.

That kid was a little too enthusiastic about that goofy magazine

My favorite Commercial was the Mortal Kombat 2 home port commercial. I remember seeing that a week or 2 before MK 2 released on the SNES.

After spending half of my 30's feeding my own nostalgia (collecting my old favorite games, movies, choose your own adventure books, etc.), I have now transcended normally desperate levels of longing for childhood and have started collecting things that had nothing to do with my life but look like something I would have enjoyed as some other kid from some other country and generation... I am now the proud owner of a DVD of a 1970's Russian children's stop animation show called Cheburashka and Friends. Cheburashka is an adorable little soviet monkey thing who goes around helping other anthropomorphic Russian animals and I love him.

Please do more videos like this.

Muzzy was terrifying, and I can't understand a word he's saying 😱

You are the Better Blocks Queen!

You knew zoo books were cool cause he wears his hat backwards and only cool people do that! Instant credibility right there.

Zoo books that's a throw back

Lawd, if I had a glow in the dark suit of better blocks armor I'd wear that shit EVERYWHERE!!!

OMG!!! This is SO crazy! I remember all of these! You’re always so awesome at bringing back those old retro memories. Thanks Erin! 😋

As a kid, I always loved reading these while anxiously waiting at my local dentist waiting room.

I also remember seeing these commercials back in the day. I read Zoobooks, and I even got a thing of Better Blocks for Christmas.

Nothing of this is nostalgic for me ... but I really enjoy watching you talk about it with so much excitement ...

You go above and beyond just retro gaming and 80's and 90's nostalga👽🔥 erin for president!

I remember all of these commercials!!! Just like you, I've always had "je suis la jeune fille" embedded into my brain.

Hey, Erin. My favorite commercial growing up was the Chef Boyardee commercial about a can of Chef Boyardee rolling down to a house of a little girl.

"BONJOUR!" lol I remember these commercials

The funny thing is, when you said “ I can still see and here the clip of the little girl going...” it instantly played in my mind before it popped upon your video. Also, knowing that it came from a BBC show to teach kids English now makes the woman’s line “just like they learned English” make so much more sense now.

I used to have all the Zoobooks magazines! One thing I remember was how in the late 90s/early 2000s, they re-issued the series, but the ads implied they were all brand new. All they did was change some photos, and update some info. I still remember in the "Bats" issue, the photo of the Vampire bat that looked like it was dancing.

I loved Zoobooks as a kid. I had a fat stack of those magazines and read the hell out of them.

So many memories from this growing up! I can confirm, that those commercials were on ALL THE FREAKING TIME! You nailed it! Thanks, Erin!

What I remember from Childhood are "Wildlife Facts" mail order cards. One side of the card had a photo of an animal and the other side have a bunch of facts. You would get a set of them like once a month and you kept them in a binder. They also had a "Wildlife Explorer", which were bigger versions.

Man I remember hearing this commercial play so much brings memories.

Fruity Pebbles, Fruit Gushers,Crazy Gideons, Chia Pets and Cal Worthington Ford were the commercials I used to see all the time in the 90's.. 🤣

Sometimes I can't even think of early 90's Nickelodeon or late 90s Cartoon Network without thinking of these commercials. The Glow in the Dark Better Blocks has always been engraved in my head. I remember Muzzy just looking very weird when I was a kid and I was never too sure about that one. Zoobooks were always cool. I owned a few back in the day. Better Blocks Queen Erin lol! You should look for the glow in the dark ones and try them out on stream sometime haha! The cereal commercials back in the 90s (i.e. Trix, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Puffs etc) were always good as well as the Nacho and Dog Taco Bell commercials, Burger King Kids Club, Cheesasaurus Rex, any "Sega!" commercial and the commercial for Loopin' Louie. Obviously most of my favorites were food-related.

It's amazing all this stuff i forgot about until your video. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

every single time I watch Cartoon Network back in the day, it would seem like a commercial for zoobooks would air every 5 minutes or so

It's been roughly 12-14 years since I saw that Zoobooks ad, but because I no doubt saw it 20 times a day while watching Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Fox Kids, et al., seeing that felt fresh in my brain like I just saw it a minute ago. Now if only I could remember where I park my car in parking ramps so easily 😅 Thank you for the nostalgia high, Erin. You're the best!

Awesome! I really like when you do these throwback videos. Hope you do more catalog videos. Those are really cool too.

I remember the awesome commercials for Tyco RC cars. Yeah for you youngsters, RC cars were how kids (or at least boys) had fun in the good ol' days. I remember going to the park and seeing a kid controlling a Tyco RC car that can drive on either side. So freakin awesome. The only "fun" thing that kids know these days is on a smartphone or tablet. 😏 So wack. Take me back to the 90s!

I remember all of these and now feel a vague sense of regret and sorrow. Thanks, Erin!

Who doesn't remember Zoobooks wow blast from the past, anybody remember DK Eyewitness Books? Eyewitness Titanic was my jam back in the day

Nice video! Favorite commercials, hmm... I remember seeing a McDonald’s commercial for Sonic the Hedgehog happy meals and begging my mom to go to McDonald’s so I could get one. 😂

I remember all of them!

I love watching Erin

I remember these commercials like yesterday...thank you Erin love your channel.

I'm 36 and remember all 3 of these. I'm nostalgia tripping hard right now. I didn't care about Muzzy or Zoobooks, but those glow-in-the-dark blocks made me moist. I ended up being a raver in my 20s with bright colorful bracelets and such lol

OMG I wanted ZooBooks so bad when I was a kid! My parents managed to find a knockoff version that was just loose pages you had to put into a binder, but I loved it anyway! I also to this day can't hear someone speaking French without thinking of that big green bear shouting "BON JOOOOOUR" lol

6 year old Erin is living her best life. Need more of these vids

I’m 36 years old and I still read the sharks Zoobooks!

Got a bunch of those old Zoobooks in the basement including the Prehistoric Zoobooks set.

I can’t believe you brought zoobooks back imma subscribe just for that

WOW back down memory lane Great video Erin

Holy shit. The fast flash backs that zoobooks commercial brought on.

I haven't heard a Natural Wonders reference in years! I used to work at the Disney Store in the late 90's, and would look around in there on my breaks. Thanks for a great nostalgic video.

Zoo Books were the shit when I was 8 lol

Lol better blocks! Erin rocks again! Thanks for doing cool videos!

So nostalgic! I never had any of these but I remember the all of the commercials. Thanks for reviewing. :D

YOOOO I remembered almost all of these very well, but I completely forgot about the Better Blocks commercial and instantly remembered everything. I wanted them so bad as a kid!! 🤣

Watching somone build with BettaBlocks is ASMR soothing, totally should be a RU-vid channel

great video Erin, lots of memories , and as always lovely and cute. Thx so much.

The 90s was childhood too and i have seen a lot of commercials in this decade mostly for toys and video games. 😄👍😉 Nice video, Cooking Erin.

Great video, when I was in Middle School, one of my classes had a bunch of "Zoobooks". Those were some cool books back in the day.

This video made me smile so much. Thanks Erin

I still look up the commercial for Tomy's Big Big loaders. That song still invokes memories of how much I used to look forward to Saturday mornings in second grade.

Holy crap I forgot all about these!!! Thanks for the throwback lol

1:17 That mailman! I always wondered what he was telling the boy, LOL he must be saying "Here ya go kid, these were lost in the mail, they're yours now!"

Omg I remember Muzzy! I think I got it from the library once!

I miss the 90's nostalgic wish i could go back in time and relive it i remember my teacher in elementary use to bring zoobooks to school for the class to look at or read it,muzzy i see on the commercial but i never came across of seeing it in school,and better blocks i remember i use to call it a snake chain because they snap on together in a straightline but i never knew the actual name until you mention it and i think you said block s more than ten times i think

This is fantastic brings back memories thank you

We were too poor for Zoobooks when I was young, that was some doctors office stuff.

Oh man! Truly my 5 - 9 year old world. I always quote the language learning commercial! Lol! Great stuff 👍

Please continue to do more of these!!!! The commercials and the wish book videos all of it! Some commercials I remember that we’re not toy commercials were the chia pet commercials and the incredible edible egg commercial where everybody was dancing to the song

Ive enjoyed your videos Erin. I subbed for sure.

I Feel like a Kid again lol watching this video brings back my childhood! haha

Great video Erin. Fun to look back at old commercials. I remember them just a well as the shows!

Another great video Erin.

Awesome video Erin ! Please do more commercials videos . I’m a commercials nut I watch old commercials all the time lol

So good, more please!

I wanted that glow in the dark armor so bad!

These commercials were so hammered into my frontal lobe that I used to use the zoobooks phone number minus the 1-800 bit when I needed to give a contact number to something I didnt care about

Lol your hilarious love how u make fun comershal sometimes

This took me back!! I always read the zoo books at home and brought my comics to school. I didn’t think pages about monkeys would do so well socially against X Men comics and Pogs. 😂

I’m probs too young for half this stuff but it still feels nostalgic to me

As a 90s kid, I LOVE this video! I remember every single one of these commercials; thanks for the trip down Memory Lane!

lol i definitely remember every one of these commercials, especially the better blocks.

So strikingly beautiful Erin. Your hair is, wild!

Great video, Erin!

Commercials from the past are awesome now. I remember I couldn't wait for them to be gone and continue watching whatever it was I was watching at the time. Now I see them and I fondly remember them. I used to love Commercials involving Halloween or Christmas. Cadbury egg ones were awesome as well. I always wanted a bunny that sounds like a chicken. Sadly, that dream has yet to come to fruition. Awesome job with the vid 👍

Leave it to Erin to make me feel older watching 90’s commercials and somehow remembering them myself heh heh Oh, Erin XD

I love the Yoshi's Safari soundtrack playing throughout the video :D!

An excellent channel to check out is 80sCommercialVault here on RU-vid. I’ve been watching their stuff for years. There are hundreds of 90s comps. Great channel, Erin, and great content!!

All Hail the Better blocks Queen Erin!!!! 😂

Muzzy was such a bonkers character. He was an alien that came to Earth. He ate pointers, so clocks, parkimeters, anything with pointers are his food of choice (although by the end of the movie he's eating whatever, computer cassete tapes, wires, etc). He somehow went to a modern country (it had roads, cars, computers, etc) ruled by a very feudal looking king.

Your hair is gorgeous!

I think I got the better blocks as a kid. I definitely remember all the commercials though and can almost recite them word for word I saw them so much. lol

I remembered the Zoobooks commercials but now they are still around with Ranger Rick. Also the Clapper commercial and Chia commercial are good.

I really needed this after the day I've had.

I remember those adverts. Great video 😊 Favorite advert.. whenever Captain N aired, they had an advertisement for the newest game attached to the episode. Wish we had game ads on tv again. Miss it

Every single one of these commercials is engraved into my mind 😁 .... it was a simpler time.

" like, you're an asshole if you didn't already know about this Tiger Poster"...😅😅😅

You might be too young to remember, but if youve never seen it, the Nestle Alpine White "Sweet Dreams" commercial! Its freaking amazing, and the song is part of the soundtrack of my childhood.. its so awesome, Faith No More covered it!

I had a Zoobook about dinosaurs. There were also great spreads in the elephants and rhinos books about their prehistoric relatives.

I had to go to the library to get zoo books 😔😔😔😂😂😂

Thoroughly enjoyed, better blocks queen

Just the commercials, and that’s really it. Lol
