1:17 Here in Australia, we've always called the commercials "ads", so when RU-vid introduced them as ads, I literally just saw them as another form thereof.
I used to have a Baby All Gone. The cherries really did smell like cherry candies, I loved smelling them. I laughed harder at Nostalgia Critic saying Jesus Christ in Spanish than the ad itself. And I remember the Capri Sun ads. I've never taken ads like those seriously so I just thought they were morbidly fascinating
To be fair people forgot about Grimace and the Mcdonald gang because the happy meal box monsters just overwrote every good memory about the original mcdonald crew
actually, to give context (paraphrasing a comment on the original video), the Capri Sun kids were actually a sort of superhero thing where they lived out their lives pretty well. They all had names, and all of them actually lived out their lives.
I'm actually the one who requested Doug to do the train PSA on Facebook. Growing up in Adelaide, South Australia, I saw those PSAs multiple times as a kid, and they really traumatised me to the point where I freaked out whenever we went over a level crossing, which my sister teased me about for *years.*
Yeah, we know they didn't say "f*cking pieces" , but it's more fun to imagine they did. Kinda like deciding in MMPR in the first Thunder Megazord battle that Jason actually did say "Whoa, that was close. Time to can this bitch!" (instead of him actually saying"fish") lol
46:47 To be fair, "home boy" here isn't the one driving - he's in the passenger seat. In Australia, we drive on the left, so the driver's seat is on the right - you could see this with the mum in her car.
I certainly remember that ad about the monster torture dolls. And I definitely remember those train ads. At least they made me never try playing on the train tracks near my grandparents' old house before they moved, so, they did their job
That's what people think they're saying? I think I was in my early teens when this commercial came out. Swear words, especially King Fuck, were like that coolest thing ever at that time in my life. I NEVER ONCE heard that line like that.
That's exactly what they are saying. What anyone else thinks they're saying is either wanting to hear something dirty/odd or they're just flat-out wrong. Remember, Doug couldn't even recognize Green Goblin shouting, "You're running out of fluid!"
08:45 I live in hungary and when i worked in a food van, the guy at the front couldnt speak english only german and an american tourist did exactly that until i went to the front to help.
cruel reality for damaging level crossings: That woman wouldnt been legit arrested for backing out and damaging "Federal Property" and likely "Reckless endagerment of personel and children" oh, and "pulling on and stopping ON said crossing" in the first place. Worst of all: It happens far moee than not. Some by the legitamently stupid or ignirant, other times by the legit suicidal. Wouldnt have been a campaign if it wasnt dumbfoundingly common. And thats AUSTRALIA! Youd expect that for Europe or America!
I hate the fact that I find it oddly more horrific seeing the victims fading out of existence like they did, as opposed to them actually getting visibly decimated like in real life.
NC- Whats the difference between northern ireland and ireland anyway?" (pops up in balaclava beret holding an armalite) "COME OUT YA BLACK AND TANS COME OUT AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!!!!!!"
I was going to see what was updated on the main site before sleeping and this popped up. I was so surprised to see you reacting to this this soon since as you said you usually wait a certain amount of time but 3 days was blazing fast for you guys.
COMMERCIALS!!! I just love these commercials specials from Doug Walker aka The Nostalgia Critic. They never disappoint and always crack me up to the extent of which my ribs hurt. 😆😂🤣 Seriously WTF Capri Sun!? The Germans clearly had something up their sleeves since 1969 if they endorsed those awkward and outrageous ads to sell their “kid friendly” products since 1981.
Yeah, one of Grimace's older designs had eyes like that. I'm guessing what they're saying toward the end of the Reese's Pieces commercial is "funkin' shell", as in "Friday Night Funkin'". I think that...gate...thing was behind that woman in the car in the Australian PSA, actually.
If I recall correctly, the reason why the Head-On ad is so repetitive is because they legally couldn't make any medical claims about what it was _supposed_ to do. That was because it's literally just a stick of wax that you're meant to rub on your head to relieve headaches, which obviously doesn't do shit.
In the train PSA, they CAN’T back up, Nate, because theres a barrier that comes down and blocks them. Not only that, but by the time they’re in the crossing, there are several cars in the way, so they can’t just reverse through the barrier anyway. PAY ATTENTION!
Whenever I now watch this video it makes me think of me on my trip in Niagara Falls because it was uploaded on my trip from November 26-28 I was in Niagara Falls having fun which was roughly around the same time you guys went to scribble showdown Edit adding a point
Coming back to this, it's a "fun candy shell." Not that other thing. Also, he could've done the Nicholas Cage bear punching the lady again. For the Nestlé crunch meme. XD
Actually, it’s because there was a truck in front of her. Also, fun fact: if you look closely, you’ll notice that the truck starts moving as soon as the family gets hit. Dang, that makes it all the more frustrating.
