Anonymous asked: So this seems to be the best bet so far for that other Rolluppo ad you were looking for. v=Ksj32RyAoDo The quality is horrible, but it does seem to be the ad you describe, with the kid turning into a car and all. Maybe you can ask him to try recording it again or something.

DUDE!!!

… thank you ;u;  This is pretty much one of the big hopes I had for this Tumblr.. This tumblr has had so many of you submit ads I’ve never seen, and were blown away by. This one is no different, since I barely remember it being more than awesome. ;)

You’re right that the quality’s horrible, but I can see just enough of the cool stuff on when seeing it on the desktop version.. :D  It looks like a camera pointed at a VHS.  I wonder if he’d go through the effort of sending tapes out to other fellows I know?  Is it even worth it? Hm..

Wow~ <3

Thank you. :D

Anonymous asked: Hello I'm a long time lurker. My nick name is rgt I'm a big fan of women in ads that have had their head (only) altered in a way to being headless or something completely replacing it. I've gone through your archives many times and love what you find. For some time now I've been looking for an ad by Unisys and it involved a woman with computer monitor for a head, and I did find it, but the video does not work on the website it is posted on. Can you find this ad for me please from your sources?

Good idea. Can you do the following for me, too?

Get me the link you have, at least. My email’s in this post!  The more info, the better!  And I might be able to extract some savvy from the site you’d link me to! :) .. maybe.. D:

PS: Thanks, rgt!  :D Glad to hear from you!

Anonymous asked: Yeah it's the one with the pens. If u google breast expansion teacher it pops up a few times but its all the same crappy quality vid with no sound :( I just remember seeing it in the past online with te sound an there were awesome 'blowing up' sounds and stuff. A high res version would be the BEST but I'm not even sure what the product is :/

I knew I had seen it before, but I had no idea it was a real ad…
Here’s the info I have so far. Sadly, it seems to be intimidating by how limited it is…

The clip you see on the net is from HBO Shock Video 6.  You can find out more at the BEArchive’s old copy of INflate123’s page.

Here’s what Inflate123 said:

I love foreign TV—European content standards are totally different from those over here in the U.S., and they seem to be able to get away with murder overseas. Case in point: this TV commercial from Spain, with a set of pens I’m still looking to buy. Johnny Swell was nice enough to edit out the slightly unsettling ending, but you get the idea (and you’re not missing much anyway—this is a good edit)

So, that’s some insight.

But wow. A pen ad, from earlier than 1998, and foreign. Difficult like almost every other ad…

For now, try this copy I have here, at Mediafire.

Until then, though.. Yeah. I want another copy too. I’ll let you know what I can find. Anybody have a copy of Shock Video 6?

Super NIntendo Ad - Persona Change & Control Loss

Wow, this ad is.. kinda kinky, and I think it’s even from my nascent years. So, mega thanks to FunkyRowanPixie for this gem.

Basically, in this ad, a Super Nintendo system forms into this floating challenge pod that shoots out a controller into the guy’s hand.  He’s pulled into the game system, and as soon as he lands, his legs transform into robot legs and he poses.  He grins and begins to play the game. After having played a bit, his head spins around while playing and leaves a robot head. Pretty cool.

Next, his arms turn into robot arms. The struggle continues as a swirling whirl of color spins around him and finally melts/transforms his face into a shiny robot face.  He looks around a bit in shock, then begins really hyper-playing the game. Like, almost losing his shit. I don’t know, did he become a robot to win, or did the game try to turn him into one?

Anyways, he wins, etc. Pretty cool.

Super Hyper (Hiper) Acido - Paloma/ Worms / Explosion

Well, there are two ads in this. The above version, and this alternate, here. Which is the real one? Which had both? Any ideas? (Lead request)

Thanks to the anon who brought this up. In the combined ad, I’ll say this happens:

A boy is eating these sour worms, but before he does, a bird flies in through the open window. It eats one, and suddenly explodes into a cartoonish alternate CGI version of itself. Bemused at the fact the pidgeon can’t handle the candy, the boy then eats a gummi.

(Splice alt ad parts in here), The gummies themselves then burst into cartoonish versions of themselves. Looks like he ate some in their less insane state.  The worm takes its effect, and causes his eyes to bulge out and tongue to droop down. (in the version with the worms exploding, the boy’s face bulges and distorts more)

Back to the original ad, there’s an explosion coming from downstairs. What happened?

Favorite right here. Super Hyper Acido is an amazing foreign brand and seems rife with content. I can only imagine what happened after, like the boy turned into a cartoon.. or somebody goes downstairs… eh. I may never know. :/  Any other leads on a full version?

Anonymous asked: I am looking for this yoplait go-gurt commercial where the main character eating the go-gurt tubes turns invisible. Anyone seen this commercial? Help me find it!

I’ve seen that one, and I forget where. It was for camouflage Go gurt tubes. The girl gets a hollow voice from the campaign (so hard to find other copies!) , and soon is invisible/blended. I don’t know if I got a copy before I couldn’t find it again!!

I’ll redouble my efforts! 

TIGER toys Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Handheld - Still Incomplete, but..

Well, on the plus side, ThatGuyWithTheVHS opened his heart, capture card, and VHS collection to us by providing us all with a HQ copy of what he has of this ad. :)

Find out the full information at the original post, updated with ThatGuy’s new vid!

Anonymous asked: I'm the original anon from the Cats Eye posting- it was definitely a live action commercial. (Being the same age at the time as the catgirl from the commercial... Well, she never quite left my subconscious). It was the Milton Bradley game you linked to... We are making some progress though; at least this confirms it's existence...

Hi anon of a great lead. OuO <3  Does that mean the ears and tails were live action/costumes, too? I figure they didn’t do any animation on top, but might as well check? :3

I’m glad it was the Milton Bradley game!  That does leave one sour note, though… Without the Youtube clip working, I’m not sure how long we’ll have to wait to find it again :/

The only other option I know of is having a donation drive for $550, and use that money to buy a copy from USATVAds.com.  (I’d provide a DL link to everyone who contributed, and depending upon fair use, provide a copy here as well.)

Until then, I’ll keep searching (I have a Google Alert).

Anybody with 1985s/1986s ad compilations? Hm..

EDIT: Feel free to contact me via my email, original anon, if you don’t like using Tumblr to talk! :3

Anonymous asked: I remember back around 1985 (I was 7 at the time) I saw a commercial for a marble game called "Cat's Eye." In the commercial a boy walks into a barn and is invited to play a game by three kids in various state of cat-transformation (all had cat ears, one boy had cat paws and the girl had whiskers). After playing and winning the game the group of cat-kids get into a cat-fight and the original boy walks out to reveal that he has grown a tail too. Anybody else remember this??

… O_____O

That.. that sounds pretty hot. I mean amazing. That sounds pretty amazing. Also reminds me of that Nike commercial that Drake provided me from Comus, I think.. I should post the copy from his channel. :O

I will. In the meantime, OMG I HAVE TO FIND THAT AD haha. :3 :3;;;;

(I blame it to your great and specific description of the ad. Thanks :D)

Edit! Hey!  This guy/gal! can you get back to me with this question????

Marbles in the united states are VERY different anywhere else..  Where did you live at this age?  I ask because I’m not aware of many marbles-based games… I know Kerplunk, Avalanche, and kinda hungry hungry hippos… 

EDIT: Are either of these the game?

EDIT: 6:38 Saturday

Man, I”m hammering away on this. Here’s the two games I think you might be referring to. The one with the cartoon cats looks awesome, and if the ad you saw used cartoon (versus live action), that could also be awesome!

OMG, it used to be on Youtube!! MOTHERFUCKER… http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XTcZAXGZd7A was the URL linked to from http://www.blingcheese.com/video-2/milton+bradley.htm 

OMG, where did it go!??! son of a bitch…

Anonymous asked: There are a bunch of videos on youtube about a commercial series called "Remarkable Mouth" Basically they have a female and they lip sync some of the things that play on the specific Radio station they are advertising. They are pretty cool, you should check them out.

This’s pretty noteworthy. I have such mixed feelings, too. 

  1. The girl is OBVIOUSLY empassioned in the ones that start the series. She really enjoys the radio stations, or at least in acting so.
    • The other girls they rope in seem much less passionate, sadly :/
  2. There is a lot of great editing, making the eyebrow raises and mouth widenings cartoon-y…ish.
    • Sadly, I don’t notice a lot of CG/morphing/blurring in use, which’d really amp up the contortion of her face :/
  3. The series goes on for a WHILE, so there’s a ton of content to be reviewed!
    • But I only found a few gems in there (I’ll post them soon!), sadly.. Ones that had a bit more zaniness than lip sync, such as ‘explosion’ (hair mess), or a bit more obvious morphing/fucking with proportions.
  4. You suggested it! A gift from a viewer.. :D <3
    • No, I got no problems with that, lol.

So… Viewers, take a look at the series above and let me know if there’re any you think are noteworthy for me to mention. :O

Anon, thanks again for submitting. :D <3
