Those very early shortform Pete and Pete episodes were definitely something else. I'm so glad Nickelodeon realized their incredible potential, and adapted these goofy shorts into one of the best surreal comedies ever made. We all got to grow up with Ellen and the Petes.

Pete & Pete is one of the all-time great kids shows, and it holds up today.

I'm so grateful to Nickelodeon for introducing me to Danger Mouse as a kid, it was one of my favorite cartoons and living in America Nickelodeon made it the only possible way to even know it existed!!

Wow the James Bond Jr ad unlocked a core memory for sure 😅. I remember these earlier days of Nickelodeon with Pete and Pete and Doug.

I had gotten a Genesis for my 14th birthday in the Summer of 91 along with the just-released Sonic the Hedgehog (which was not yet the pack-in at the time), so the launch of the Super Nintendo and Super Mario World did not grab my attention much at the time. I remember thinking Mario was old hat, and I was quite confident in my decision of the Genesis over the SNES. The following year, I saw The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past at a friend's house, and I simply had to have one. Luckily, Nintendo had recently lowered the price of the console, and I had just had my 15th birthday, so I scraped up enough money for a Super Nintendo with Mario World, as well as Zelda. Owing both consoles was wonderful, and a big part as to why the 16-Bit generation remains my favorite period for gaming. The real winners of the "Console Wars" were those who played both sides.

The one good thing that came from Hulk Hogan in Suburban Commando was having The Undertaker in it. As for Artie from Pete & Pete. Who would have seen it coming where he would later voice as Khan on King of The Hill for a solid 13 years.

Baby Face- 🎶 Baby Face, She’s the one, Oh Yeah, I make her so much fun, my Baby Face🎶 Aside from the creepiness of these dolls, the commercial has a catchy jingle to it. Mr. Potato Head- The kid trying on Mr. Potato Head’s glasses at 6:34 adds a level of strangeness to this commercial, I think. McDonald’s- Aside from the quirkiness of this commercial, the close attention to detail throughout, especially in the designs of the outfits for the Chicken McNugget characters, is something to be appreciated, I believe.

8:48 - Hostess Grizzly Chomps...The only snack cake mixed with bear saliva. Mmm...

Despite James Bond's countless...partners, Junior is actually his nephew.

Would be a great twist if all of the villains on the show were the illegitimate offspring of James Bond.

Super Mario World - One of my favorite SNES games of all time What Would You Do? - A Great Variety Show filled with pies, pies and more pies!

The strongest man... in the woorllld! I'll get you next time bee!

I didn't notice that either. Apparently this was a line that only appeared briefly in 1991: www.joescurios.com/macro-machines.html

SNES/Super Mario World: yeah I think you may be right the really only challenging levels were those extra ones (especially the really 'slang' named ones. definitely put your SMW skills to the test! Grizzly Chomps: guessing it flopped cus I definitely don't even remember these! Ernest: Scared Stupid: MIAK! probably the one thing I remember from that movie, hahah.

I actually had that Lights & Lace Barbie doll! Must've gotten it as a birthday gift this year (1991). Weird but I remember the commercial for it being totally different, that the song was kind of a soundalike to Paula Abdul's "Straight Up", but maybe it was for a different Barbie.

loved Danger Mouse, but I always thought James Bond Jr was so lame lmao

I didn't get a SNES until christmas 1993. I guess that is late in the SNES lifecycle.

Not really, there were still major titles being released in 1996 in the months leading up to the launch of the N64.

What Would You Do? was better in the later seasons with the Wall of Stuff and the Piecoaster! But James Bond Jr. was an enjoyable watch before school on WWOR channel 9! Also another vote for never hearing of Silly Soup!

Thank you for uploading these prospects of history

I remember the Pizza Hut Nick Halloween promotions

"Jeff's Collie"? What, did they get the rights to the show but not the Lassie name?

Mentioned in the video description, this was the syndication title for the early seasons of "Lassie". Nickelodeon used the Lassie name in other promos aired in the early 90's so I don't believe it was a rights issue. They also aired "Timmy and Lassie", the syndication title for the seasons aired between 1957-1964 featuring a different boy as the main human character.

Loved that movie Ernest scared stupid that troll gave me nightmares for a week the same year TMNT number two came out how about bumper sandwich booger lips LoL

I have to agree. SMB 3 (especially the original NES version) is definitely more challenging of a game in comparison to SMW. Still, both are really fun games that if you haven't played before, then you really need to play them.

What Would You Do-not to be confused with the ABC News series of occasional specials James Bond Jr-the Alex Rider series can be considered a spiritual successor of sorts Super Mario World for SNES-classic game,good that it was a pack-in w/ the system

2:28 Barbie type beat

I forgot how much I liked Ernest Scared Stupid as a kid. I wonder who did the troll costumes? So gross looking

The Chiodo Brothers did the special effects for "Ernest Scared Stupid". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chiodo_Brothers They're best known for their work on the "Critters" series and "Killer Klowns From Outer Space". Scared Stupid actually reused two of the Clown masks from that movie for two of the trolls seen near the end. bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3407253/ever-spot-killer-klowns-ernest-scared-stupid/

Silly soup 🍲 🤪
