Retro Ad Review

It's conspiracy time! But the fun ones. We're looking at commercials that make a nod to our favorite cryptids. Jack Link's has Bigfoot, Playstation has the Jersey Devil, and Toyota has Nessie. Let's get weird and hear all about these very real monsters and their commercial fame.

Summer is gone so you know what that means...it's time to get depressed about going to school! One of the worst things about August as a kid was seeing in-store ads and TV commercials telling you that school was right around the corner. In this episode, listen to Sonny from Coco Puffs, Mila Kunis for Lisa Frank, and Alice Cooper for Staples tell you that you're late for class.

*The sound is a little funny. Sorry about that.*

We're looking at commercials that have a lost element to them. Some recovered, some still missing pieces. If you like this episode, we'll do more in-depth ones!

Commercials that feature songs from movies but parodied! Yes, we are layered here. Listen to Thirstbusters (a.k.a. the Ghostbusters Theme) for Coke, Glen! (a.k.a. Eye of the Tiger) for Starbucks, and Say You, Say Me for Walkers Crisps (a.k.a. chips).

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! It's time for the annual look back at classic holiday commercials by your favorite mega corporations. We watch Ronald McDonald on ice, the first appearance of the Coca-Cola polar bears, and the gaudy Hess trucks. Find out their stories and where the rank in the hallowed halls of Christmas commercials.

We're going grape nuts in honor of this episode. We take you through the history of the Post cereal company and then dive into the classic commercials of Grape Nuts, Raisin Bran, and Honey Bunches of Oats. Grab a bowl and listen in.

We're looking at film franchises! More specifically commercials associated with the first film of a blockbuster series. Listen up as we pick apart the Alien figurine, the Batman (1989) cereal, and the VHS ad for Home Alone (no rebate included).

We're back on the toy tip! This time we're looking at toys that were recalled after some famous incidents. Be careful Cabbage Patch Kids, Sky Dancers, and Pokemon because these are some bad bad toys. Tune in to find out why.
