Rise of the Commercials - Nostalgia Critic 

"Don't put it in your mouth," And people wonder how things like Deadpool came out of Canada

I sing the "Skip It" Song every time I see a RU-vid ad.

I always lose it at 4:19 when he yells “WHAT THE CHRISTICLES!”

The HBO intro was epic. I would love to see a modern day equivalent.

"We got soda, OJ, purple stuff" "We got soda, OJ, purple stuff" "We got soda, OJ, purple stuff" "We got soda, OJ, purple stuff" "We got soda, OJ, purple stuff" "We got OJ, cola, purple stuff" ...you had one job black guy!

14:22 "You swear they're not even trying, like this one!" *Black screen* Me: I guess that IS a really lazy commercial.

My film teacher in highschool used the HBO bumper as an example of how incredible practical effects really are. To a bunch of kids who grew up on Pixar, DreamWorks, and such, it really made a lot of us think. 10 years later I still think of that class when I see it.

"I'm beginning to think boys toys were just girls toys painted a different color and given less options.. " I realized that when I was like, 9, and I was so annoyed. -3-

15:50 Stargate? Why not compare it to the Powerpuff Girls intro? Makes more sense to me. Imagine... Soda! OJ! Purple stuff! These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect drink but accidentally there was an extra ingredient added to the concoction... Chemical D! Thus, the Sunny Delight was created!

"You cannot beat us" It was a bad idea to watch that part at night...

20:45 It just dawned upon me. Could you imagine how different that commercial could have been if it was Patrick Bateman that got his suit ruined? Mentos or not, there'd have been a freakin' bloodbath.

21:27 This Mentos parody is still hilarious, every time I watch it. XD

Fun fact: That "As someone who tried a box of [TMNT cookies] once, and I'm still seeing a doctor about it" MIGHT be a reference to the Nostalgia Critic review of the first two movies way back in '07. Right before the clips begin, he grabs a box of TMNT cookies and spits a few of them out. He did say ONCE after all

Soda. OJ. Purple Stuff. Sunny D. Long ago, the four drinks lived in harmony

21:52 that face and gesture he gives during that clip always gets me

I love how the Nintendo commercial broke him in this compilation! His 'reaction' was pretty damn hilarious!

"Soda, OJ and Purple stuff" would be a good band name

6:02 And no joke the baseball cover is the first apperance of The Scracrow. THE MASTER OF FEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

That part about Apple in relation to Orwells 1984 was done so well Id say it was a moment of Genius.

When u see ninja turtles everywhere: *TMNT JANITOR!* *TMNT TEACHER!* And last but not least, *TMNT CRASH TEST DUMMY!*

On the "boys toys were just girls toys with less options" note, I notice that still happening today in some cases I notice a lot of the Nerf Rebelle line, which are Nerf guns aimed at a female demographic (because girls like to shoot people in the face too), seem to focus more on teamwork, tactics, and skill in not only their commercials, but in some of the products themselves Meanwhile, the regular Nerf commercials aimed at the male demographic are pretty much just "MORE DAKKA!!!"

"Well...our version was better. We couldn't eat ours. And live."

I remember seeing the diaper surprise adds on TV, and my dad's reaction of odd bewilderment at the whole thing

22:32 Oh look, it’s the rapsittie street kids!

I still love Tamara's commitment XD

The Nintendo commercial looked like an indoctrination video for a fucking cult.

28:12 That Honeycomb Cereal Commercial Is Actually From Canada.

26:05 I just watched a middle aged man scream profanity at a cookie #ResistCookieHitler

This commercial review was F**KING AWESOME.

14:27 I love when he says that but a commercial doesn't come up

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Border Control! “Wallabunga dude!”

"We got soda, OJ, purple stuff--" "Don't you put it in your mouth!"

"There is nothing wrong with your computer" Me : uuh I'm on a mobile device :v

I think the next one should be called "Viewers Like You"

23:13 Nintendo lawyers when someone makes a fangame or remake of a beloved game.

my bro : what do we have to drink me : we got soda, OJ, purple stuff mom : ITS CALLED F*CKING GRAPE JUICE We did that alot when i was 6

24:31 Guy on Screen: We Shall Previal Hammer Smashes Screen Bald Guy in the row: Hey! We were watching that!

25:54 The kid on the far right is basically me trying to eat breakfast half asleep.

The line Doug said: "Duck Hunt dog, why are you so scary?" The line he should've said: "So this is where they got the idea for Duck Season."

I think I need a baptism after that Nintendo commercial

I too want HBO to bring back that opener. It was one of the coolest things about them.

6:20 Am I Preganinant?

26:05 Boy: Mommy why is that guy screaming at a cookie? Mom: Just keep walking son.

0:59 R.I.P Jetix and CN Too

Growing up my only copy of Star wars a new hope was a VHS recording off HBO. I associate this with star wars as much as the opening scroll

You know what's the saddest thing with that turtles cookie commercial and comparable commercials? They all got more detailed and smoother animation than the first cartoon show from the 80s in ANY episode, even if the budgets were probably much smaller than what the staff at Fred Wolf and the voice actors got for their work.

I had the Military Micro Machines Battle Tank. That thing sure showed those little girls. It transformed from an M1-A1 Abrams into a sweet three stage battlefield complete with a battlefield, headquarters, roadways, a sniper tower, a aircraft carrier you could load creates on with a working crane, a nuke missile site to blow the crap out of those Terror Troops, and tons of moving anti aircraft guns. It was freaking AWESOME!!!

How ironic Apple's advert has become.

The question is...what was the purple stuff?...

"Never give in to Cookie Hitler!"

24:50 I feel like Critic has never read 1984. The book isn't about something that is controversial. If anything the Party did was controversial then it would be them failing at their job. 1984 was about a world where all information contrary to the party's official statements was not only banned, but history retroactively changed to match whatever the party said. All while a, possibly factious (it is left ambiguous) war is going on to keep people patriotic and in line.

12:20 Have you ever tried eating something cooked in an easy bake oven before? We couldn't eat that stuff and live either.

That Mentos one. These are some of the best uses of the cutaway skits in the entire channel.

Ya know, after Doug looked at those Mentos commercials, I was wondering if he ever saw the Foo Fighters music video of "Big Me" that mocked those commercials.

24:07 I wonder why this commercial isn't in any of the Nostalgic Commercial collections.

CRITIC: We were so obsessed with Ninja Turtles that literally, ALL we needed was that first note of the theme song, in order to get us hooked! ME: That's EXACTLY how I am with the Legacy Power Ranger Weapons! 😋

Do you ever feel.... not so fresh? Sometimes. That's why I use Mentos! It's the Freshmaker!

As a childless person, I just now realized how much parents must hate advertisements directed at children who have no money of their own.

26:13 yes and he is a one man army named....COOKIE MONSTER.

19:58 I think I just figured out why Splatoon uses the term, "Stay Fresh"

Actually, I was pretty damn good at Skip-It. Several kids (mostly girls) in my school were. The hardest thing for us was finding and claiming a space to use it so we didn't take out other kids while we were playing with it. I doubt I could do it again today, but then I was the kind of kid who was pretty good at jump rope tricks, too. Might just have been a rural thing where we had enough disposable income for Skip-Its (and even then I recall mine being a gift for some occasion. Easter, I think), but not enough for electronics, so we were already pretty good at the old-timey athletic/show-off games like jumping rope and those hand clapping games. Also, we not only had crash test dummies toys, but to make it even sicker, there was a baby. I had that one. It came strapped into a baby seat and its eyes popped out when you pressed the "crash" button.

I want the old HBO Intro again it was the best in the 80s

,&,I Thought John Winchester Was The Worst Fictional Father Ever,He’s Nothing Compared to The Fictional Father in The Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup ad

"There is nothing wrong with your computer" Stop trying to fool me! I'm watching this on my PS4!

I for one ROCKED at Skip It as a kid ^_^

16:12 I WAS THINKING THAT EVERY TIME THEY SAID IT! 🤣🤣

I remember the Diaper Surprise commercials and the rest of the Lalaloopsy commercials. Absolutely chilling.

I saw the commercial with the snowman and Campbell's soup last Christmas. It's like the M&Ms Christmas commercial. You see it every year around the holidays.

"It's only natural to feel fresh." next commercial: "Mentos - the freshmaker" All those pictures in my head. You broke me.

That HBO bumper brings back memories. My little sister and I would make up elaborate dances to the music since we just KNEW we were ballerinas lol. HBO should definitely bring this classic back.

23:20 The reason I blew up my switch, my gamecube, and my game boys

As an Immature 21 year old, I too laughed when the daughter said "Douche".

The honey comb segment killed me.

What I found funny was that I was playing The Last of Us while the Canadian PSA was playing in the background. So I was in an all out brawl with infected to a song about putting things in mouths.

Being short has it's advantages. I always say: "At least I can be my own carry on!" Tamera just says: "I pretend to be a kid who Doug, and everyone else, get to mess with. yay...." 13:43

nobody else makes charm bracelets out of their shit?

Robbie: Are you....a real villian One of the henchmen: 9:59

22:10 I was playing on my switch when this came up

Soda, OJ, purple stuff, and Sunny-D are the secret keys to bring the mysterious "S" that EVERYONE would draw in the '90s but no one seems to know the origin of. 😂

I saw him and his crew at Anime Iowa this weekend. He was super chill. Wasn't able to make it to his panels or get anything signed but it was still cool seeing him though!

2:23 Okay, story time. When I was in 2nd grade, our school didn't have much in the way of playground equipment. We had a sort of haphazard collection of lacrosse sticks, half-deflated balls, jump ropes, and defunct pogo sticks kept in a splintery old closet. But, we were a bunch of hyperactive nerds, so of course we found something to do with what we had. One girl, trying to find a use for a bent hula hoop, had the idea to put it around her ankle and start spinning, and thus discovered the core concept of Skip-It, only with an added layer of difficulty given the size and shape of the hoop. Within days, half the kids in the grade were doing this every recess. People would fight over the hoops. Tricks were developed. A full-on contest was held that lasted over an hour straight. It was *insane* how into this kids got. So yes. I knew many people who were good at Skip-It.

Not gonna lie, I miss these over the top late 80s and 90s commercials. Pure awesomeness!

Apple: You cannot beat us! YOU CANNOT BEAT US!!@25:29

I wonder if "Haaaa" or "Rookieeeee" would like "a cooooooooke".....

18:12 WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING!? SERIOUSLY, it looks like a rejected McDonalds character. GOOD LORD does it look weird and creepy! I'm surprised Doug didn't comment on that. O_o

This is definitely one of my favorite Commercials reviews ever! So much nostalgia and whacky memories! I love that Mentos segment! Truly clever and I also appreciate the fact that you worked so hard on the real life skit to go with it! Some of your best work for sure! Always fun to revisit these events!

Imagine binge watching something from HBO with that long ass intro everytime taking forever to see another never ending intro like Game of Thrones. Pure hell.

Pregnant Ninja Turtles: not biologically-accurate to actual turtle reproduction.

Don't they still play this snowman commercial every year around christmas? 12:44

Oh gawd...I'm a Canadian and I remember all those Concerned Children Advertisers messages when I was a kid. I never thought the whole 'don't put it in your mouth' message was referring to anything sexual. I thought those talking blue furballs were talking about pennies or discarded batteries.

2:37 - Definitely the best part of this video.

"You cannot beat us!" *Insert Freddy Krueger* "Hey! You forgot the power glove!"

Not even the original HBO Intro can save Jack & Jill

There was an episode of brave and the bold where Batman played baseball so...

Damn, I got goosebumps from that HBO intro.

Holy shit that HBO intro goes in so hard. And props to Tamera for taking that dunk in the soup twice.

29:02 In response: "I don't know what it is, but I'm gonna eat it!" - the commercial for Bowser's Inside Story for the DS, 2009.

The old HBO theme sounds suspiciously close to the infinity war theme

I don’t know why, but I always just burst out laughing when he screams at the cookie at 26:05

I wish the Crash Test Dummies would come back
