Sure, we sometimes get included in their SPORTS and their… Read more S2:E47 – DAISY IS IN SUPER SMASH BROS!!!!!

In many ways The Legend of Zelda cartoon is inevitable. Just like certain novelty bongs and print-on-demand t-shirts, this feels like it was spun into life by some algorithm skimming popular topics and combining them to see what worked. At least we didn’t have to wake up early to watch it every morning, though. We… Read more S2:E46 – The Legend of Zelda Cartoon Opening

Frasier ran for an amazing eleven seasons on broadcast television, exploring the future (or past!) of the titular hero and Cheers ensemble member. Amazingly, at no point did Frasier ever rip his chest open to show you his beating human heart. To right that wrong, we watched one of the many Frasier ending sequences for… Read more S2:E45 – Frasier Ending Theme

DOOM is a video game that really, really doesn’t want you to look around. 30 seconds par for its first level? It’s basically a digital “No Loitering” sign. Speedrunner Panter decided to put that to shame with the world record 9 second run of DOOM’s E1M1 “Hangar” level. Catch the video here. John Hurst hosts… Read more S2:E42 – DOOM E1M1 Speedrun

When the cubicle walls seem like a towering oceanfront fortress and the copy machine a glimmering treasure of plunder, one might begin to wonder if there is a viking buried deep inside oneself. One may long for the freedom of the sea and the roar of battle, but when the true histories are read, one… Read more S2:E41 – The Office TV Opening

We are not immune to the siren call of E3. Traffic, there for the taking and desperately needed, is locked only behind one’s ability to produce proper SEO-focused content to rise to the top of the Google search results. As such, behold: everything you need to know about The Elder Scrolls VI teaser trailer. We… Read more S2:E40 – The Elder Scrolls VI Teaser

Some years ago, noted man Nick Divers posted this video to Instagram and Tumblr and marginally increased the value of this communications medium known as the internet.

I’m sure…I’m sure the Mathnasium advertising department meant well. I’m sure someone very intelligent thought these animated characters would help kids connect with math. I’m sure, somewhere along the pipe, the designs were created by someone who knew a thing or two about art and approved by someone who only had the best of intentions… Read more S2:E38 – Mathnasium Transformations Commercial

Riding high on the success of the Playstation era Final Fantasy games, Squaresoft bet the farm on an experimental form of realistic CG storytelling about a decade before the technology was really ready for it.

Your eyes flutter open, but it hardly matters. The darkness of the cabin in near complete, and the sound of waves lapping against the hull muffles all noise to a distant rumble.

Were it not for the inclusion of moderately popular 80s hair metal band Cinderella, this local chili dog stand commercial might have been lost to time.

Shoney’s is one of the pillars that modern western civilization is built upon. Sure, you may scoff in 2018 at the idea of a late night buffet bar, but somewhere deep in the recesses of your mind, far from your smart phone and your Amazon Prime account, where your lizard brain still jumps at shadows,… Read more S2:E33 – Shoney’s Seafood Commercial

Karate Kid was perhaps the apex of 90s karate mania. Sure, you had your Death Wishes and your Three Ninjas, but none of them drove their karate chops so far into our collective brains as Karate Kid. As such, it was almost inevitable that it would spin off a cartoon property about…magic trophies or something?… Read more S2:E32 – Karate Kid Cartoon Opening

As popular nostalgia creeps ever closer to the late 90s, LFO’s “Summer Girls” lays in shadow as it waits to once again re-emerge into the sweet sunlight. That day rapidly approaching, its pale thin fingers flex in horrible mockery of humanity, grasping onto the rotting leaves and cold earth of the past that had become… Read more S2:E31 – Summer Girls Music Video

Hey everyone! Unfortunately, all attempts to have a new episode ready to be digested by your ears (Ew) failed this week. It was a number of circumstances but I think we all can solely blame it on the singular idea of TIME REVENGE. Time is sick of us trying to loop it and tried to… Read more Special Episode – Hercules: The Legendary Journeys! (Aaron and John Archives)

You stare into the void. You press “Like”. The “Like” spirals toward the center of the void, stretching and elongating as if drawn to the infinite mass at the heart of a black hole. Time ticks by slowly as this happens, but its effects are no less potent. You try and engage with the void,… Read more S2:E30 – Ready Player One Trailer

For once, we attempt to use our powers for good and serious reasons: namely watching the classic Patterson bigfoot film on loop until we can suss out the truth of one of the most enduring mysteries of the 20th century!

If NBA Jam taught me anything in life, it taught me that you definitely catch the ball on fire if you get three or more baskets in a row and that when you achieve turbo, your shoes will light up and make you go fast. So, no, NBA Jam didn’t really teach me anything. But… Read more S2:E28 – NBA Jam Arcade Attract Mode

Tie-in music videos are nothing special, except when a hit 90s singer uses them to confess his undying love for Batman.

This week, we… Read more S2:E26 – Kiss from a Rose Music Video

There was a time, not all that long ago, that a cable channel might consider running a three-to-four hour block of computer tech tips. That network was Tech TV and that show was The Screen Savers. Maybe it wasn’t actually that long, but in our minds, it was an endless stream of registry editing, configuration… Read more S2:E25 – The Screen Savers TV Opening

Did Juicy Fruit create extreme sports or did extreme sports create Juicy Fruit? Philosophers will endlessly debate the question, never bothering to learn that Juicy Fruit was first launched in 1893 and that the creation of extreme sports probably had nothing to do with the gum. This classic 80s Juicy Fruit commercial is at the… Read more S2:E24 – Juicy Fruit Commercial

After our abysmal math performance in the recent Beverly Hills 90210 episode, listener muteKi suggested that we might need a refresher course in very basic arithmetic and submitted this episode of MathMan, a sketch from the educational PBS show Square One. MathMan is a beleaguered Pac-Man clone who must use his short time in this… Read more S2:E23 – MathMan: Multiples of 6

Dragon Ball Z seems to be bubbling its way up a lot lately. Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the new show, or maybe it has something to do with the radical sequel to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s magnum opus: The Scarlet Letter Z. Before we get there, though, we’ve got to fulfill the destiny we created for… Read more S2:E22 – Dragon Ball Z TV Opening

Are you ready for a show bold enough to feature teens? What if I told you they lived in Beverly Hills? Also what if they were white? And like everyone else in the show was white too. Plus, teens.

In the era before the Gameboy, video games on the go were really something special. In the waning years after Nintendo’s little gray brick, though? Ehhh, not so much. Tiger Electronics hawked these simple LCD games for years, years, acquiring such tantalizing licenses as Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden and Skyrim. Wait, maybe not that last… Read more S2:E20 – Tiger Electronics Mega Man 2 Commercial

When you can unhinge your jaws, shoot out your tongue to four feet in length and hang around with weird mutants on the playground, you only want to eat one thing: a packing peanut shaped like a paw and covered in neon cheese dust.

Time was, Wizards of the Coast thought they might somehow break Magic: The Gathering out of its traditional nerd niche and into the cool coffee-drinking, Friends-watching, music-inventing crowds of the 90s. Through a series of commercials targeted at these socially desirable youths, Wizards wasted untold amounts of money and succeeded in doing little more than… Read more S2:E18 – Magic: The Gathering Commercial

What does it cost to save the princess in less than five minutes? How many lives must be destroyed? Must the very rules of nature be bent? Can the universe even continue to exist in a single piece? For Darbian, those answers were “some practice, none, no and almost certainly.” Our answers, though? Dramatically different.… Read more S2:E17 – Darbian’s Super Mario Brothers Speedrun World Record

Just in time for Christmas, we unwrap the past and take a look at one of the most infamous “event” video games ever: E.T. for the Atari 2600.

Atari Christmas Commercial

ThunderCats! There’s thunder! And cats! And…mummies I guess? Surprising everyone, including ourselves, we have just no recollection of what happens in the ThunderCats cartoon.

When the fast food wars have worn you down with endless attrition and your coffers have run dry, there’s little do to but turn to…less ethical methods of selling your products.

Listen, when you’re a busy account executive at the biggest advertising firm in the city, you haven’t got time to do things like research. Or care.

So much Star Wars is happening around us. As I’m typing up this post, we literally got an announcement that Rian Johnson is directing a brand new trilogy of Star Wars related films. That’s crazy!

It’s a warped world, and you’re about to take a dip in the most liquid of operating systems! IBM’s ill-fated alternative OS from the 90s had seemingly dozens of commercials, but we have chosen one of them to watch until our minds melt.

Before JT was JT, before Joey was Lance and before Lance was a home renovator with a penchant for kitchens, there was NSYNC.

What if…you played video games? The Ctrl + Alt + Del cartoon sets out to ask that heady question and precious little else. The answer it comes up with is a distressing mixture of self-congratulation and homicidal rage under a thin veneer of us-versus-them superiority, so it basically succeeds in its task. To truly let… Read more S2:E7 – Ctrl + Alt + Del Cartoon at Half Speed

Following the wild success of Home Alone, it was inevitable that its precocious star would be bestowed with that most precious of gifts: his own poorly thought-out Saturday morning cartoon.

Achy Breaky 2 is the nadir of popular culture. I would say that western culture alone needs to own this, but when the aliens come with their singular DJ and their death rays, they will not discriminate based on the lines we draw on a map. They will simply process all of digitized culture in… Read more S2:E4 – Buck 22 (w/ Billy Ray Cyrus) – Achy Breaky 2 Music Video

Everyone, let us remember the simpler times. The times of the 90s.

We worried about movies a lot guys. They were big! And full of knockoffs! And sequels!… Read more S2:E3 – Deep Impact Trailer

By listener request, we’re suffering through a seemingly endless loop of the retro My Buddy commercials. According to John, My Buddy was created to teach young boys empathy, but considering the correlation between the endless parade of flaxen-haired tots in this 80s commercial and the resurgence of actual friggin’ Nazis in our horrible modern times,… Read more S2:E2 – My Buddy Commercial

We’re back, everyone! Season 2 gets started off right with the classic DuckTales TV opening.

The first video uploaded to YouTube was on April 23, 2005. You can watch it here. The latest video uploaded to YouTube was whenever you read this sentence, give or take a breath.

I tried to find… Read more S1:E39 – “Me At The Zoo” / Italian Tooth Gem Commercial [Season Finale!]

When you’re a player on any major team, you’re expected to do your fair share of local commercials. It’s a badge of honor, in fact!

But only one man has the power… Read more S1:E38 – Bronson Arroyo Ford Commercial

Short shorts! Car stunts! Problematic themes! Yes, The Dukes of Hazzard is an interesting show to think about in 2017.

Yup, it looks like them Duke Boys are in… Read more S1:E37 – The Dukes of Hazzard TV Opening

In the world of wrestling, appearance is everything. You have to look intimidating. Look strong. Look fast. Look commercial if you’re certain wrestlers that keep getting pushed despite fan reaction.

Who just picks up a wrapped Subway sub from the catering table without even checking what it is?! Cimorelli does! And they apparently prefer it that way! What if it’s a non-standard sub,  Cimorelli?

Whether they’re working at a quaint bed… Read more S1:E14 – Gilmore Girls Theme Song

This commercial ran for a decade but watching it on loop felt significantly longer. Whatchamacallit is a candy bar or a philosophy or perhaps even rain but this commercial is not going to tell you.

Daytona! Let’s go away! (Let’s go away!) Have such simple lyrics ever gotten so much play as Daytona USA’s minimalist attract mode song?

Slip into that… Read more S1:E9 – Daytona USA Attract Mode
