Crazy Eddie looks like a champ. Is that Sloth in a red-hooded pull over in the crowd on the left? Maybe Crazy Eddie is Chunk all grown up. He could just be doing a hands up version of the truffle shuffle.

Also, if you’re going to spam a review request, spam something good like Read All About It!

My god. This blog is turning into a forum for who can out obsess who (although I think we all know that Photog will win that one hands down). First the Toilet Duck commercial, now Mac and Me. Again, Matt, PLEASE tell AWC that you’ll do it. Or that you won’t. Right now the phrase Mac and me is driving me insane.

Or here’s another idea–instead of relying on Matt, why don’t other people create reviews for their stuff (on their own websites)? I personally prefer the randomness of never knowing what Matt will come up with next. Melting war?

Now review the Beast Wars Predacons please.

Kidding.

Boy do the Crazy Eddie Commercials make me feel old! Growing up on Long Island we thought these were the most annoying commecials in the world. But they did their job. 20 years later and I’m still INSAAAAAAAANE!

All this year I’ve been doing impressions of this commercial! Whats even more insane then Crasy Eddies prices is that I don’t even remember seeing it!

In other xe related news…I made a comic based on the terrible fluff incident. If that doesnt interest you, maybe purdy colors do. Puuuur-deeee coooo-loooors. Click my name!

Whoops, posted twice by accident…veyr sorry :(

although doing it a 3rd time doesnt help either I guess.

But I forgot to ask…Matt, why do you keep your last name a mystery on your site? And now UGO put yor last name on your monoply article. Someones out to get you. (DUH NUH NUUUUUUH!)

I remember as a child on day camp trips going passed the crazy eddies store or warehouse or something with the giant lock and chain around the building – does anyone else remember this? I dont know if it was in LI or Staten Island, somehow i think staten because seeing it was inevitably followed by the intoxicating aroma of freshkills.

Chestnuts roasted by julia @ 07/09/2003 12:41 PM

That’s Staten. It’s evenutally became a building for Gateway Computers, but now it’s a sort of closeout store with crappy sweaters and generic Play-Doh kits. And for some reason, tons of Tic-Tacs.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 07/09/2003 12:51 PM

You know, I think there are some real people at the front of that fake audience. I wonder what happened to them after they finished shooting this commercial, seeing as Crazy Eddie looks like he’s beyond psychiatric help and all. Maybe he keeps them in his bomb shelter.

I, for one, would be happy to create a site and review Read All About It, if I had any idea where to track down tapes…

Chestnuts roasted by Ubu Rex @ 07/09/2003 1:24 PM

I take it the giant lock and chain are no longer there? oh well . as a kid i always imagined many men on scaffolding hoisting a giant key to lock up for the night. it was a pleasent distraction from the summertime cheese-bus stink.

Where the hell is the Photog gallaries already??

On the West Coast we had Crazy Gideon. Obviously he’s a ripoff, but when was the last time you thought of Crazy Eddie when you’re in a cheap motel?

Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 (click me for review of Hulk) @ 07/09/2003 3:40 PM

Matt’s a slacker accept it. Just less of a slacker than some of us because he does more than just read cool websites like me.

Chestnuts roasted by lifgljf @ 07/09/2003 3:47 PM

Kame-hame-HA! Am I the only one who yells this whenever I acheive something wonderful? I beat Final Fantasy X! Kame-hame-HA! Anyone who played FF VIII remember "Booyaka!" or is it just me? Crazy Eddie vs. Photog?

Chestnuts roasted by Bansheex @ 07/09/2003 5:49 PM

I remember them putting a random hyphen in the word "shit" in Final Fantasy VII (best… game… ever…). It turned into "shi’t". I believe that’s Japanese for a worm indigenous to New Guinea.

Futurama
Fry goes to a robot asylum:

Nurse: Your roommate will be Malfunctioning Eddie.

Fry: Malfunctioning Eddie? The used car dealer? Boy, I guess his prices really were insane.

Chestnuts roasted by heeloyd @ 07/11/2003 4:47 AM

Fuck "Mac & Me!"

Chestnuts roasted by Tom Hagen @ 07/12/2003 12:45 PM

Does anyone remember the Noxzema commercials from the mid 80′s?

Wish Matt would put some of these, and the Ivory commercials on his site.

Chestnuts roasted by Argus @ 07/12/2003 7:04 PM

Well, at least you put "Mac & Me" in quotes, preventing misinterpretations.

Chestnuts roasted by "MR. GAME & WATCH" @ 07/12/2003 11:15 PM
