Okay, cool! Anybody got any cool commercials for back in the day they would like to show?

Some more Childhood favorites you may enjoy (unless I already posted them and forgot)

Animaniacs Macaroni and Cheese
Animaniacs Happy Meal #1 (I had most of them, except for Slappy Squirrel, which my sister had, and lost. One of the only pieces of Slappy Merchandise, BTW)
Super Mario 3 Happy Meal(Now THESE I had all of).

And wacky foreign commercial du Jour:

Korean Super Nintendo Commercial featuring Mario, Raphael the turtle, Buster Bunny, Son Goku of DBZ, and Dtreet Fighter characters. All, pretty much without permission it looks like.

I don't remember this one. It was a Super Mario Bros. McDonald's happy meal commercial.

That one was from 2 years ago. Not that retro. I always loved the use of those "invisible" stage hands. Too bad they had to go the route and make them look a little too obvious, but all and all I really liked that one.


Unfortunately I only got 2 of those. The Mario Ball and the Yoshi you wear on your hand to play tag with. I really wanted the inflatable Mallet.
