I hope you guys enjoy these classics. I have been carrying them around for almost 40 years. There’s a story behind each commercial. These represent the creative work of David Shackman, Denny Christine, Denny Grayson, John Lyons, & Paul Saas as creative directors. The trade-outs are pretty obvious. Paul Nugent is probably responsible for those. [...]
Michael Jackson passed away today at age 50. Starting as part of The Jackson Five along with his brothers he went on to become the most successful solo artist of all time. It is also polite to say that he faced many controversies in his personal life. Here is “Jacko” in claymation form singing the [...]
Ahhhh, nostalgia. They don’t make them like this anymore – commercials or “flight attendants”. One has to wonder how many takes they had to do until they got the timing right – this was, of course, before CGI ruined everything. Video Rating: 4 / 5

Another re-upload from my previous nuked account, although this is a *much* better quality encode from the original. The second installation of bits from a promo tape from a UK computer gaming store circa 1986. Now with even more dodgy accents and dated, expensive software. Yes, ‘Fleet Street’ sure does look like something you’d pay [...]
I originally encoded these from the VHS tapes, so the bits and pieces floating around the web are from my copies. Here’s a selection from a tape of video games promos from 1986, replete with accents and impersonations that have to be heard to be believed! The Young Ones clip is jaw-droppingly awful. These tapes [...]
