During the little downtime that I have, I've been collecting old commercials and tv promo spots and cartoon PSAs. They're gonna play during my BRB screens on stream.

I could watch them for hours. It's really wild how something that was designed entirely out of capitalistic purposes, an ad to sell me a video game, can be so enjoyable and fun. But taken 20 to 30 years out of context, they're completely ineffectual now, and you can watch them through a goofy nostalgic lens instead of the kinda gross child manipulation they once were.

Once Cohost adds the ability to upload video files, you bet your ass I'mma share some of my favorites. I had an absolute blast last night collecting some Kids WB inter show promos, like the one where Batman Beyond battles Misty in a Pokemon battle.

they are completely ineffective i tell myself as i buy a bop-it on ebay. did you know sock-em boppers still exist?

what i find crazy is i was barely allowed to watch tv and still recognize these commercials i barely saw. meanwhile i haven’t seen a non-native commercial in who knows how long.
