More Commercials of the `80s!

Well, hello there. Long time no see. As a reward for your loyalty, I present another fine batch of `80s Commercials, including everything from a Mr. T doll to a radio controlled inflatable Hulk. Fer real. I've done this ten-commercials-in-an-article deal a few times before, but I must say, this may very well be the best batch yet. It's even got those Bad Case Of Worms toys I was asking about a short while back. Read the whole way through for a bonus section on "Freezy Freakies," the gloves that changed the world. Henjoy.

Adding a Survey: Well, what are your hobbies? Real ones, not ones that just sound cool in the retelling.

Dear Matt,

Howzabout making us another XE forum? I bet you wouldn’t get any more complaints about lack of articles if we had somewhere to hang out in the meantime.

Matt, isn’t your name Caracappa? I just read that two former New York City cops have been indicted on murder charges and claims that they were Mafia hitmen, and one of them was named Stephen Caracappa. Any relation?

We need at least another poster survey, like: Name a music group/artist you hate, and name one song by them you like. Or, anything interesting happen at the last concert you attended?

Ms. Pas-Mac sounds just like Ethel Merman. Oh well, Intellivision is better anyway.

My hobbies: writing, rock music, sports (especially football and hockey), video games (particularly my Gamecube)

oh yeah mjf7583 I was just going to say that I think it really was Ethel Merman…I mean- I feel like as a kid I saw some story on Entertainment Tonight or some such crap saying that she did that voice. Then again, that was so long ago I could be crazy. My favorite Ethel Merman thing is in Airplane…I think it might be Airplane 2? Not sure- where they are in the hospital and there is a crazy patient that thinks he is Ethel Merman and then they show him and it is really her saying "you’ll be swell, you’ll be great!" then they sedate her and she trails off….I love that… Jesus I am wordy today…anyway my hobby is drinking and surfing the web while a wee bit tipsy… in case you could not tell…
Thanks for the commercials…I dig seeing stuff like that! Does anyone remember a video game commercial for some game that had to do with pigs and it showed a big bad wolf with pig back-up singers singing "say oink"? Anyone??

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue…heheh

Regarding updates -

Since it’s a free site, I think we should give the caretaker some slack here. It’s not like we can demand our money back.

Hey, Matt! What about Captain Power? Remember that one – where you bought the toys and the show’s bad guys shot back at you? If you got hit, your action figure out be blown out of the cockpit of the ship you were holding like a gun.

Oh, and the toys worked one-on-one, too, like pre-Lazer Tag.

The show was done by the guy who did B5. And really, the whole concept was before its time!
