  • Episode 523--GameBoy commercials
    2024/12/23

    We're a few days away from Christmas and we thought it would be appropriate and timely to look at commercials for the must have gift of 1989, an item celebrating its 35th birtheay this year--the Nintendo GameBoy. Here are the commercials in this episode, with links:

  • Minisode 32--The Folgers brother and sister commercial from 2009
    2024/12/22

    In what is a first, we present our first instant minisode. Chico was sent a video of a creepy Folgers commercial from 16 years ago.
