Commercial Corner

Hey everyone! I made this topic for fun. Inspired by Flo's Game Show Corner topic, in this topic, I will talk a little bit about nostalgic commercials for various products. I will take a look at certain advertising campaigns for a product and how they went. I am open for requests on this topic, so if you can think of anything that you'd like me to talk about here, you can PM me your idea!

So for this first episode, I'm going to talk about a series of commercials from the early 70's that advertised Aunt Jemimah Waffles. These were animated commercials, which look like they were made by the people who worked on the Jay Ward cartoons.

The commercials featured this man named Professor Goody, who sounds like he was voiced by Daws Butler (but don't quote me on that). They also featured this other character named Wallace the Waffle Whiffer, a strange-looking character who looks like what you'd end up with if you mixed the Michelin Man with Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, Gogo Dodo and Bert Raccoon. Wallace was crazily-addicted to Aunt Jemimah Waffles; even the aroma would drive him towards it, and his gimmick was that every time he would sense it, he'd say, "Waffle-waffle-waffle!"

The commercials would start off with Professor Goody in a remote, impossible-to-get-to area (like up in a bell tower, or in a submarine 400 feet below sea level) attempting to have some Aunt Jemimah Waffles all to himself because he doesn't want Wallace to take them from him. But of course, it never works. The aroma of the waffles is so strong that Wallace could smell them and drive him directly to the professor. After which, Professor Goody would give up and say, "Okay, Wallace. Care to join me?" These ads often ended with the slogan: Is there a Waffle Whiffer in your house?

I'm not sure exactly how long these commercials lasted, although I do know that they were around in the early 70's. Today, Aunt Jemimah products are still being sold in stores, though I'm not sure if they're still making waffles. One thing I do know for sure, the Waffle Whiffer is no longer appearing on TV, and he was left out in the abandoned alleyways of forgotten media along with the other forgotten product mascots.

Well, that's it for this edition of Commercial Corner. If you like this idea of mine, and you have something to request me, feel free to send it to me via PM! Tune in for my next episode where I'll take a look at a breakfast cereal that has had many different mascot changes.

Welcome to Episode 2 of Commercial Corner, and on this edition, we're going to take a look at the evolution of adverts and mascots for the General Mills cereal known as Cookie Crisp.

For those who want a reminder, Cookie Crisp is one of the more underrated cereals produced by General Mills. They still make the stuff today, but it's not as popular as other cereals like Trix, Lucky Charms or Honey Nut Cheerios. The cereal consists of miniature chocolate chip cookies that are known for tasting exactly like chocolate chip cookies, and staying crispy in milk (much like Crispix).

Anyway, when Cookie Crisp was introduced in the early 1970's, the mascot was this miniature animated wizard named Cookie Jarvis (I don't know who the hell came up with a name like that). His gimmick in the early commercials was he'd appear in front of kids who would try to have cookies for breakfast, then he'd use his magic wand to turn the cookie jar into Cookie Crisp.

Around 1981, there was a commercial where Jarvis met a little cookie-loving crook named Cookie Crook attempting to steal a box of cereal, but Jarvis stops him with his magic.

Cookie Crook would soon after become the new mascot of the cereal. In the mid 80's, the new ads would feature him attempting to steal the cereal from live-action kids, and he would be chased by a new character named Cookie Cop, sometimes referred to as Officer Crumb. Officer Crumb was a police officer with a comedically large moustache, and he spoke with an Irish accent. In the early versions of these ads, Officer Crumb would always get outsmarted by Cookie Crook, but later on, General Mills thought this wasn't delivering a good message to kids, so they decided to have the cop always catch the crook in the end. I liked watching these ads when I was little, because Cookie Crook and Officer Crumb reminded me of the Mario Bros. in some strange way, even though Mario did have his own cereal in 1988, but that's another story.

In 1991, a new form of advertising was made for Cookie Crisp. They still featured Cookie Crook and Officer Crumb, but this time, they were fully-animated with the characters in a real environment rather than microscopic and on a kitchen table. Cookie Crook was also given a sidekick: a dog named Chip. These commercials would feature the duo attempting to steal Cookie Crisp from Officer Crumb, and Chip's gimmick was that he would howl, "Cooooooooookie Crisp!" which would always result in backfiring Cookie Crook's plan, thus resulting in them getting caught by Officer Crumb. Sometimes at the end, Chip would say, "Doggone it!"

There were two unique commercials in this format that really stand out to me today. One of them was a Christmas-themed commercial, and in this one, Officer Crumb decides to be nice to Cookie Crook and Chip and let them have some cereal because it's Christmas; its a lot better than that one Trix commercial, let me tell ya. Another one was one where Chip tried to dress up as a Dalmatian to promote the live action 101 Dalmatians movie, but Officer Crumb stops him and says, "Sorry, Chip. It's not 102 Dalmatians." At least it wasn't until four years later. Heh, heh.

The marketing campaign changed again in 1997 when Cookie Crook was dropped from the ads, and Chip took over as the main mascot. In these ads, Chip was given a new look, and a new personality. These commercials were computer-animated as opposed to the previous ones which were hand-drawn. For these ads, Chip would randomly show up in front of a group of kids and offer them some Cookie Crisp, but an adult would stop him and say that cookies are not for breakfast, but then he'd let the adult try the cereal, and they'd change their mind. A lot of the commercials occurred in the strangest places like at a baseball stadium, or in a classroom. I mean, who eats breakfast in school? (Unless you count high school students trying to sneak food into the class because they skipped breakfast.) Oddly enough, Officer Crumb did make an appearance in one of these ads; he was voiced by the same actor, but he had a completely different personality; all of a sudden, he's now an antagonist going against kids instead of crooks! I mean, talk about a good cop gone bad! Yeesh!

Well, the ads with Chip did pretty well for their time, but they didn't last too long. In 2005, a new mascot was introduced. Enter Chip the Wolf, a goofy anthropomorphic wolf with a hoodie and jeans. These ads would feature Chip trying to get some cereal but always failing and usually getting himself hurt. Yeah, imagine something like a modernized Fruit Brute, a more annoying Trix Rabbit, and a less cool Chester Cheetah; that's basically what this guy is.

In conclusion, Cookie Crisp is a unique General Mills cereal that's perfect for pleasing your cookie cravings in the morning. Today, Cookie Crisp is no longer making TV ads to my knowledge, but Chip the Wolf is still currently the mascot. It's weird how the cereal kept changing its mascots all the time. The ones with Cookie Crook were the most entertaining, but I guess they got rid of him because they didn't think he was politically correct to have as a mascot for a product that's targeted at kids, especially with how much higher the crime rates have gone up. Well, if you ever want to look back at those nostalgic commercials, that's what we've got YouTube and Retrojunk for!

That's all for this episode of Commercial Corner. Tune in next time when I take a crack at the fast food chain that probably had the most popular marketing campaign of them all! See you next time.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay on this one. Welcome back to Commercial Corner. On today's episode, we're going to take a look at the McDonaldland commercials. Now I won't talk too much about the characters since I already did back on my Best/Worst McDonaldland Characters countdown.

Anyway, what can be said about McDonald's. It's one of the most recognized fast food joints on the planet. Part of the reason why it was so popular was its commercials that took place in the wacky world of McDonaldland, a magical, whimsical land that was largely inspired by the late 60's children's television series, "H.R. Puff'n'Stuff". Commercials for McDonaldland ran on tv during the 70's, 80's and 90's.

In the early days of these commercials, they would feature the following characters:
- Ronald McDonald, who is the mascot of McDonald's and one of the most recognized characters on the planet.
- The Hamburglar, a crazy burglar dude who would run around stealing Hamburgers and talked in a random gibberish.
- Grimace, a big goofy purple guy who was originally called "The Evil Grimace", and he had four arms so that he could steal cups preventing anyone from having any sodas or milkshakes; but he soon became one of the good guys with only two arms.
- Grimace's uncle, Uncle O'Grimacey, who would often come to McDonaldland around St. Patrick's Day to deliver those Shamrock Shakes.
- The Professor, a goofy-looking scientist who loved to invent things.
- Captain Crook, another antagonist who was a pirate who loved to steal Filet'O Fish Sabdwiches, and he'd often translate what the Hamburglar was saying.
- Officer Big Mac, a police chief with a Big Mac for a head who would often chase the Hamburglar and Captain Crook.
- And Mayor McCheese, the mayor of McDonaldland who had a giant cheeseburger for a head, though he usually stood off in the background in most commercials and rarely spoke.

During the 70's, the commercials in McDonaldland were more adventurous and plot-driven. Though I find it surprising that a lot of the commercials mentioned that they sold Coca-Cola. Yeah, we can't get away with that today; that would be cross-marketing.

As the years went by, some new McDonaldland characters were added to the roster:
- In the late 70's, they introduced the Gobblins, a trio of shaggy pom-pom-like characters with legs and eyes who loved to steal McDonald's French fries, and they sang like the Chipmunks. In the 80's, they were renamed the Fry Guys.
- In 1980, they introduced the first identifiable female character: Birdie the Early Bird, who was created to promote McDonald's breakfast menu.

However, things started to change in 1985 when McDonald's decided to streamline the McDonaldland cast. A few characters were kept, while the rest were dropped. The characters that were kept were Ronald, Grimace, Birdie, the Hamburglar, and the Fry Guys; the rest of the characters were dropped. The characters' designs were also upgraded. In fact, all of McDonaldland got a makeover. The place now looked much brighter and more colorful; gone were the hamburger patch and the talking trees, and the commercials were now more comical and musical rather than adventurous. There were also a few new characters who were added:
- There was the McDonald Happy Meal Gang, which were a talking hamburger, fries and milkshake; though they didn't last too long.
- There was also the McNugget Buddies, which were little talking versions of McDonald's infamous Chicken McNuggets.
- The Fry Guys were also renamed the Fry Kids as female versions were introduced in 1987.

Now, in the 90's, most McDonald's commercials would feature Ronald spending time with a kid or a group of kids in a real life situation and would help give them a great day, such as a kid who can't go outside due to his broken leg, helping kids grow flowers, having fun playing in the back yard, and helping a boy unite with his lost dog.
Though there were still plenty of McDonaldland commercials with Ronald and his gang. One new character who was introduced was this weird, creepy-looking Dr. Seuss reject named Bernice; she would always gobble up inedible objects.

Throughout the years, there were also some bizzaro one-off characters in the McDonaldland adverts, such as a pair of singing trash cans, an alien named CosMc, Iam Hungry the Vice President of Snacking, and probably the most infamous one of all, Griddler.

In the early 2000's, McDonald's decided it was time to discontinue the McDonaldland commercials and focus more on a campaign for their new slogan: "I'm Lovin' It!", and that's remained the chain's slogan ever since. I think it's kinda silly that they had to take down a series of commercials in favor of some slogan change, but that was their final decision, and around 2003, they dropped an atom bomb on McDonaldland, and everyone and everything from it was destroyed never to be heard from again leaving Ronald as the only survivor.

In conclusion, McDonaldland was one of the many reasons that kids would smile for McDonald's. It's a shame they had to stop doing those commercials, because they one of the many things that made McDonald's so memorable. I guess I could understand if it was due to money problems or something like that. They were actually planning to transform the McDonaldland commercials into animated commercials at the time of their discontinuance, but they decided to take the "I'm Lovin' It" route instead. Even though it's kind of a bummer they didn't do, it was probably for the best, as I'm sure those animated ads would never have lived up to the original versions.

Well, that's it for this episode of Commercial Corner. Tune in next time when we take a look at the fruitiest cereal made by General Mills. See you next time.

Post by Belchic on Oct 23, 2014 16:01:44 GMT -5

Hi everyone. Welcome back to Commercial Corner.

On this week's episode, we're gonna take a look at another General Mills cereal: Trix.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with this cereal. It's mascot is one of the most popular cereal mascots of all time, and its slogan has been joked about for decades. But believe it or not, there actually was a time when there was no such thing as the Trix Rabbit.

When Trix was first introduced in 1955, it did not have a mascot. The ads for it had a surprisingly catchy jingle. They would tell us that Trix was a great fruity breakfast cereal and was great for snacking. They would also feature a kid eating the cereal and saying its slogan, which at the time was, "Some Trix!" Also, believe it or not, when Trix were first introduced, there were only three flavors: Raspberry, Lemon and Orange, though it was kind of hard to tell because the commercials were in black and white. It's also hard to believe they went nearly 3 decades with only three flavors.

The Trix Rabbit was first introduced in 1959, and his first commercial was one where he admitted that he had an addiction to Trix when he was supposed to like carrots, which he hated. Since then, the commercials for Trix have always been the same formula: The rabbit would try to get Trix, but the kids would either outsmart him or not let him have any and then deliver the classic: "Silly rabbit! Trix are for kids!" In some commercials in the 60's and 70's, the rabbit would follow that up with: ". and sometimes for very tricky rabbits!" and show that he snagged some from under the kids' noses.

Although, since Day 1, everyone who watched these commercials couldn't help but feel sorry for the rabbit. The kids in the commercials were always d!cks with him, but real kids watching the commercials often asked, "Why don't they let him have the Trix?" The Nostalgia Critic branded him as the Greek Tragedy of breakfast cereals, and for many good reasons.

Though there were a few moments when he did have some Trix. One commercial that I particularly remember was one from 1991 shortly after the lime green puffs were introduced. The Rabbit entered a bicycle race where the grand prize was a bowl of Trix. The rabbit won the race, but the two judges argued whether or not he should have the Trix. One judge said that he should get the cereal because he won the race fair and square, while the other judge opposed because he's a rabbit and Trix are for kids. So they held a contest where kids should vote whether or not the rabbit should get the Trix. The winning answer was "Yes", so in the conclusion to the commercial, we got to see the rabbit devour his bowl of Trix uncontrollably.

One thing that still puzzles me is why the rabbit never came to his senses and decide not to let those kids boss him around. Heck, even Family Guy had some laughs with this character. Though, if General Mills decides to change their Trix mascot, which I doubt they'll ever do, I have an idea as to how the rabbit's last commercial should go:
The rabbit gets kicked out of a club where kids are eating Trix, and fed up with getting rejected after all these years, the rabbit flips and busts in with a loaded gun and demands the kids to give him some Trix! The kids reluctantly pour him a bowl, he eats some, but then spits it out and says, "Eww! This stuff tastes nasty! Is this what you kids like to eat! Well, screw this! I'm done with Trix forever!"
Yeah, I don't see that happening today since they'd never get away with kid-friendly characters holding guns these days. I mean, Disney removed the "Martins and the Coys" segment from Make Mine Music for that very reason!

In conclusion, Trix was a cereal that started out with a catchy jingle, but it wasn't long until they changed the formula to the famous one we know today.

So that's it for this edition of Commercial Corner. Tune in next week for a Halloween special!

Post by Belchic on Oct 30, 2014 9:20:10 GMT -5

Ghoulish Greetings, everyone, and this edition of Commercial Corner is going to be a special Halloween edition.

For this edition, I'm going to talk about a commercial that I remember seeing from the Halloween season of 2000. I don't remember what it was for. It may have been Party City. Believe it or not, I can't find this commercial on YouTube anywhere! But I'll do my best to tell you all about what I remember from it:

This commercial was a promotion for the variety of Halloween costumes they had available.

The commercial opened with a little kid coming up to a door trick-or-treating, and he was in a Superman costume. Throughout the commercial, he kept changing his costume and coming back to the same house in a different costume. The neat thing is he acted like the characters he was dressed as, which was a little stupid, but at least he was being in the spirit. Some of the costumes he wore included Maril from Pokémon, Wolverine from X-Men, a wizard with a magic wand, and my favorite one was Gabumon from Digimon; yeah, even though Gabumon isn't my favorite Digimon, I thought it was at least nice to see somebody acknowledge the show, since I was a huge fan of it at the time.

I think the worst thing about this commercial was the fact that they played Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy". I mean, I get it. It goes with the theme, but it's one of the few songs from the 80's that I hate.

I always wondered what this kid's problem was. He seemed pretty relentless. I know the commercial was supposed to be promoting the costumes, but have kids done this in real life? Probably. I wonder if Bubs from Homestar Runner got inspiration from this commercial.

Well, that's it for this edition of Commercial Corner. Sorry if it wasn't as good as my previous ones. Tune in next week when I tackle on my first requested episode!

Welcome to another edition of Commercial Corner. Today, I'm going to do a request by Flowgli . For this episode, we're going to take a look at some nostalgic board game commercials.

This episode is going to be a little different though. For this episode, I'm going to show a link to a commercial from an obscure lesser-known board game that you may or may not have heard of and then talk a little bit about the game itself. These are also some games that I think James Rolfe might consider doing in his "Board James" series. I'm sure everyone is familiar with games like Monopoly, Battleship, Operation and Twister, but here, we're going to be adventurous and explore the world of the unknown. Like let's take a look at this one for example:

Ah yes, Snardvark. I remember when this game came out in 1993, it was one of the top items on my Christmas list. Anyway, in this game, we've got this aardvark-like creature with a long tongue who slowly eats pulling his tongue in. The players play these little bugs called Snards who move along his tongue trying not to get eaten. Each time the Snardvark eats, his eyes change color; if the color corresponds with your Snard, then you get to move ahead one space on the tongue, and if any other Snards are in your way, you can jump over them to the next open space. Whoever makes it off the tongue first or whoever is the last one standing wins.
Now let's take a look at a more stupid board game:

Yeah, as if Limbo was weird enough, they had to make board game about it and throw a chicken on top. The game is quite simple as far as rules go, but it's not recommended for the out-of-shape. Basically, you limbo under the chicken without touching him, and if you do, he'll make an annoying laugh. Sorry, but I'm not inviting this chicken to my party, and is it just me, or does he sound like Bullwinkle?
Now, let's look at a couple scary games:

It from the Pit was a game where you race around a giant pit trying to get to treasure being guarded by this creature named It. And yes, his name is It. not to be confused with Stephen King's It or Cousin It; this is It from the Pit! Anyway, It rotates in a circular motion and randomly grabs at the spaces your character walks on. Yeah, this is one of those games that's based on luck.
While we're on the subject of scary, epic, treasure-hunting games:

Here's Forbidden Bridge, a game about crossing a bridge and back to retrieve some jewels, but on the other side of the bridge guarding the jewels is an angry idol who will do everything he can to stop you, and by everything, I mean shaking the bridge. The bridge has holes in it to make it more challenging.
Now, here's a board game commercial I always found disappointing:

Ah yes, Gator Golf, one of those games that never ends until you say so. I don't think I need to explain seeing that the commercial speaks for itself. The disappointing thing about the commercial is that the first three seconds, we see this gator mini golf course. That looks so cool! I want to go play golf there! But no, it doesn't exist, and all we get is this crappy board game. Talk about a slap in the face!
Next up, here's Melvin:

Melvin is a worm-eating bird with. what looks like an exotic collar. This game is all about feeding Melvin as he walks around. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. This is the only board game commercial I recall where the kids said, "We love you". I wonder if Bad Lucky Bootsy does too.
Now let's take a look at something more crazy:

Bed Bugs was a game that was all about collecting bugs hopping around in this little bed. The goal is to try to get as many as possible. Say, have you noticed that every board game commercial ends with a kid saying, "I win!"? Some people have given me the counter-argue: "Well, someone's gotta win." I guess it's a tradition to give one of the kids in these commercials a sense of victory.
Next, let's chill out with some penguins and polar bears:

Here's a game where you play as these penguins trying to cross over water trying to avoid a hungry polar bear. I never had this game, but supposedly, the polar bear is moved based on a roll of the dice. If any penguins make contact with the polar bear, they go back to the start. Don't you love it when the commercials explain the rules? I like the attitudes the Penguins have in this commercial too.
Some board games are easy, others are hard, but then there are games that are so easy that they're hard! Like this one:

I remember having this game. I hated this game! The object is to wear these elephant masks and try to get three rings around your trunk without using your hands. The thing I hated most about this game was that you couldn't breathe in those masks! Seriously, they squeeze your nose so tight they could possibly cut off the circulation! How could they package such a thing?
Now here's a really old game that I remember playing:

What makes this game interesting is there is a story behind it, which is explained in the commercial. Anyway, the object of Crackers in My Bed was to find half of a cracker, pull it out of the bed, and match it with the other half of the cracker you have. Basically, it's like a memory game. Of course, you feed the crackers to the kid in bed who has a freakishly-huge mouth.
Crackers in My Bed was made by Parker Brothers, which was Milton Bradley's rival company. About five years after this game's release, Milton Bradley made a similar game, except their game was something more putrid:

Oh yeah is right! This is a game where you feed a giant billboard head outside of a diner, and the goal is to feed him all your food, but at random times, Ralph will regurgitate everything that he ate. Yeah, this game was an absolute no-no in my house. My mom refused to see me get involved in anything gross. Even the kids in the commercial were grossed out by this game! I'll stick to Crackers In My Bed, thank you very much.
Well, if you thought that was bad, wait til you see Gooey Louie:

That commercial you just saw was from 2013, but there was a version of this game from 1995. Believe it or not, I can't find the original anywhere on YouTube. But anyway, onto the game. Yep, Gooey Louie, a game that's all about picking a guy's nose, which is apparently the grossest thing in the world. Picking the wrong gooey will cause Louie's brain to pop out; I guess you can say it's similar to Crocodile Dentist when the croc snaps at you if you pull the wrong tooth. As you can see, this game was recently remade, except in this version, Louie looks more three-dimensional, plus he can talk. Its a shame I couldn't find the original, because what I like about it is at the end, they say, "If you must have this totally gross game, Gooey Louie comes with everything you see here." It just begs the question what they were thinking when they came up with a game like this.
And if you thought THAT was bad, here's a game that I think needs no explanation:

Yes, this game does exist, and it is what it is! This one was already reviewed on Board James, so go watch that episode if you must know more about it.
Anyway, it's time to stop being so foul. I saved the best game for last, and I think this has to be featured on Board James! He has no reason not to review this game (unless he doesn't have it), because it looks like his kind of game, and it's a really old underrated classic:

Dark Tower was a game that came out in 1981, and its a game that my family had for a long time. I won't go into a lot of details because there's too much to talk about, but let's just say that if Final Fantasy had a board game, it would be Dark Tower. The thing that makes the commercial so great was that it was narrated by Orson Welles. If you can find this game, by all means check it out, but if you're going to play it, don't make any other plans; it takes a long time to set up, there's a lot of rules to follow, and it takes a while to play.

Well, that's it for this edition of Commercial Corner. I know it was nice and long, but hopefully, it was still enjoyable. Next week, we will look at another breakfast cereal.
