I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this commercial online. I'd completely forgotten about it but when I saw it again it was like this whole huge part of my memory opened up like floodgates. These commercials are exactly what the Simpsons are getting at when they do ridiculous toy commercial parodies.

80's Toy Commercial (http://castlegrayskull.org/hm-video.shtml)



One really great thing to do on a rainy day in NYC is go to the Museum of Television & Radio. You can go in and request to watch practically anything you can think of. The videos you choose are played on a console you control - complete with original commercials from air-date. The commercials are the best part.

I loved that place. It was the most facinating place I've ever been to. I really wish I could live in NYC. I would be in there whenever I'm bored.

haha that Apple one they parody in Futurama with Mum's Friendly Delivery Company :D Quality. But was that commercial itself a rip-off of something else?
