Art Thou Arty?

By Street Dude | Published: April 22, 2011

by Street Dude This is a wonderful commercial, I love this commercial, I love the music. This commercial is a part of me, truly. It’s one of those commercials that triggers visceral memories; the halcyon of my childhood; the halcyon of the year 1990. Todd Stewart (aka Steve Martin), the president of Art Instruction School, [...]

In This Weather, Someone is Always Fucking Your Wife.

By Bill Donahue | Published: December 11, 2010

Especially if you own a Mercedes Benz. Who cares if your wife is cheating on you? You’re cheating on her too. With the magic of all-wheel drive, you can fuck whoever, you know? Anyway, this is clever in a kind of “Gift of the Magi” way, even if it does suggest that our society is [...]

Bad Kitties

By Street Dude | Published: August 26, 2010

“Credit card, you got it.” — Macaulay Culkin, as Kevin, in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992). Credit card, you got it. Credit Cards: can’t live with ‘em and you can’t shoot ‘em. Card Credits: our nation is in debt. Dear credit cards, in the 1990s, you bought so many damn speed boats [...]

Weight-Loss Blunder

By Urban Pal | Published: August 16, 2010

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this ad from 1982 was aired right around that time that AIDS (the disease) was becoming a global crisis.  I’m not sure how they didn’t see this as the “worst possible name for a diet pill,” at the time.  That’s like naming a tobacco product canzer. Rating:  30 seconds [...]

“I’m going to get my hands on your data.” Chck, plicka, keyboard-chck chk, blk chica chica. Whence that onomatopoeia? One word: yourkompacpresariokomputerkeyboard or wordprocessor unit from the early ’90s. “I’m going to get into your system.” Once upon a time beofore the monumental cgi of the awe-inspiring film Titanic, a movie that made me cry [...]

Nerf Kids Speak Martian

By Street Dude | Published: June 10, 2010

This commercial is low fidelity — no excuses — this kid is speaking martian. Some say, in the late ’80s and early ’90s, that Nerf was a government subsidiary with a mission to mint condition the minds of children for an oncoming intergalactic war with “unknown and unseen ‘invaders.’” After many botched theories, the U.S. [...]

Like Pepsi Throwback

By Bill Donahue | Published: May 28, 2010

Here’s a fun one. This Willie Horton ad is a classic. Notice how the words “Kidnapping”, “Stabbing”, and “Raping” appear on the screen. Michael Dukakis personally let Willie out of his cell. Willie kept saying “Mike, I cannot wait to get out of this jail cell so that I can commence with the rapin’” and [...]
