Didn't click the link,but if its the home remedies commercial like I think it is, I'd imagine their solutions are pure quackery.

Yeah, it’s the home remedies book commercial, and yeah, that seems like a justified opinion.
The spokesman bringing up massaging your hand in ice to settle a tooth ache and trying oatmeal for poison ivy seems…… convincing. But then the mention of using a vacuum to put a baby to sleep is…… a bit questionable.
I dunno, I see the book is actually sold pretty cheaply on Amazon. Worst case scenario I can always return it if I’m not satisfied with their techniques.

So I’m sure we can all agree those Burger King “I LOVE THIS PLACE!” commercials…… can get annoying with that slogan, especially with how over-aired they were on Comedy Central in 1993.
That said though, I really hate to admit it…… but I’m finding myself actually…… appreciating that slogan more (slightly) since eating their food a lot more recently (yeah, I’ve REALLY grown to love their burgers so much more, same with their Big Fish sandwich and I always LOVED their fries; their chicken sandwiches suck ass), and I was never really all that crazy about Burger King’s food until I started to crave more of it since last year and a LOT more of it this year. (It certainly helped me give a full stomach on days I was going over my digitized tapes with Kolos’s wonderful help).
Food quality is a lot better than McDonald’s, and I’m someone who LOVES their Big Macs, Mcnuggets, chicken sandwiches, fries and ice cream, and I once had a BIG love for their chicken selects, but even then….. it really just makes my blood boil seeing all these VERY cheap, low prices back in the 90s compared to where we are now with the prices. McDonald’s is practically as expensive as Five Guys is now.
But yeah, while I’ve honestly HATED that overused slogan after seeing it one too many times in my own personal recordings of MST episodes from Comedy Central….. it has become a bit of my own slogan since eating their food more.

Would anyone happen to know the name of this actress who appears in this (very often over-aired, but still enjoyable) Extra sugar-free bubblegum ad? (This one is basically in every Turkey day 91 airing for a start). youtu.be/n7I5nfWvlo4?si=Q7TTpjb5xUtqpKUqAdmittedly this commercial has always been a comfort one of mine since I was a kid, and I always thought the actress was pretty cute. I just wish I knew her name. I tried looking in the comments through MULTIPLE YouTube uploads….. boy, were THEY sure helpful. 🙄 the most I found is someone claiming her first name is Shannon.

So since recently having a 6-hour marathon with an MST tape of mine that has a next day 10 AM rerun of “EEGAH!” (that Kolos uploaded), the premiere of “Gila Monster” (which he also uploaded from someone else’s tape before dubbing my copy, but I do plan to upload a slightly higher quality source in the future with his credit and linking to the original for fairness), and a 12:30 AM airing of “Earth vs the Spider” in June 1992 (also uploaded from Kolos), after noticing just how VERY over-played that Donruss baseball cards commercial was in the “Gila Monster” recording as well as seeing it played quite frequently in my March 1992 10 AM airing of “Stranded in Space” from a previous tape (and also uploaded by Kolos), I can honestly see why he got annoyed seeing that commercial played so often. While I LOVE that commercial and can tolerate it as much as possible, I can honestly see the overwhelming factor there. But if it is ONE commercial I can say I’ve grown to hate A LOT more with age and never found to be that enjoyable at all (pretty annoying if I’m being honest), especially with how VERY overplayed it was in 1992, it’s this Trident gum commercial. youtu.be/4idAlunDpcs?si=lu5q-C9GgfuN62OsI really hate that stupid slogan. “wHo WaNtS tRiDaNt?! I dO, i Do!”

But then the mention of using a vacuum to put a baby to sleep is…… a bit questionable. Probably used as a white noise machine. Seems reasonable.

I get the white noise but considering how loud the volume actually is and how sensitive babies ears are, that does raise some eyebrows for me.

So I’m gonna be honest, I’m close to finishing up watching full Comedy Central recordings available online via 1995 recordings and one 1996 recording from Sketch the cow, and…… while the episodes themselves are good, the commercials for Sci-fi…… really aren’t that great. Kolos’s recent Sci-fi uploads honestly shows how pretty mediocre their commercials can get. That said though…… since Kolos had digitized my extra three 2003 Sci-fi tapes I was lucky to make AT ALL when I was 10 years old (seriously, VERY lucky timing I had that MASSIVE MST binge marathon with my dad’s Comedy Central tapes)…. youtu.be/VJ1M-ij_CjQ?si=TTW1Yj_vPpLDUCpwThis Aricept commercial….. has since been pretty comforting for me. I really hate these types of commercials, especially when the side effects are brought up….. but this one honestly just feels very cozy with the footage and the beautiful music especially. I dunno, seeing the kid play with his grandpa makes me miss all of my own on both my parents sides (covid, it being one of their deaths, can f*ck itself). But yeah, I have this in pretty much every single one of my Sci-fi recordings and you’ll see this commercial in every episode of mine that Kolos plans to upload in the not too distant future.

Actually, here’s another commercial I can throw in that I’ve also really grown to hate….. youtu.be/AvpQcVkfce8?si=M1iGFEcxrote4D46I really hate those stupid voice altering effects and that “wHaTcHa KeEpInG tAbS oN” jingle. REALLY grateful my July 1992 recording of “Star Force” is the only one that has this commercial (I think). Random side-note: I think “City Limits” honestly has now become one of my favorite Joel episodes from season 4 since having a binge marathon yesterday with my…… “combined” recording of BOTH the 10 AM and 7 PM premiere recordings (I’m grateful at least Kolos got his hands on the 7 PM recording but I DO hope the 10 AM one surfaces one day). I seem to have a big weakness for the 80s flicks, but this one is VERY nostalgic with that heavy 80s rock/metal soundtrack and just all the action that happens in the post apocalypse…… that and Carver’s death is one of the best MST movie death scenes. Oh, and as I’ve gotten older, I completely understand why Crow was super down bad for Kim Cattrall in this movie. 😍

Aw. I like the Watcha Keepin' Tabs on commercial. I remember it from when I was a kid.

It’s not a terrible commercial, it’s catchy for what it is, I just find those voice altering effects get grating on the ears for me. But different strokes in the end.

Okay, sooooo……. Yeah, all three of my “Violent Years” recordings are now officially on YouTube (yes, I have THREE on tape, the last two being my dad’s absolute carelessness taping the show in December 1995…. But in the end, they still do hold sentimental value….. so there’s that). youtu.be/gMKzhmay058?si=exfAwuVXxNvutZC6Yeah, Kolos and I both REALLY went through A LOT of hell having to get this and the second “Violent Years” recording on the same tape dubbed and finalized properly….. it was NOT fun for EITHER of us having to go through the same episode so many times….. At the very least, it definitely has some comforting and cozy Christmas commercials. Also, since he pointed it out in the description - that comic creator program…… may have been cool to work on during the 90s, but the graphics otherwise just come off EXTREMELY dated and cheesy now. So yeah, I can see why he thought it was lame. A pretty boring commercial imho.

On another note, while I know these two AT&T commercials were pretty over-aired in 1991 and 1992, and I can honestly quote them from the back of my mind, they have both been very comforting for me since I was a kid. youtu.be/LhjXzs6dbpM?si=29p6vNhAilqHuff_The “Reach Out America” plan one just has some funky and comforting music that I’ve always really liked, and I dunno, the shots and the voice over really also stick out for me. youtu.be/tqR3QXtLC7A?si=hgaPhNfFheIa7hqyAnd this one also has some soothing music and beautiful shots.

I was actually surprised to see no one uploaded this commercial separately, so I decided to take the liberty of doing so (yeah, watching my premiere of “Hercules Unchained” a weekend ago sparked my interest in posting it). youtu.be/0KeCNH5_6aM?si=--GVJ2_DtWW2nPzMI’ll be honest, that catchy gospel beat has lived rent-free in my head since I first watched my premiere recording of “Hercules Against the Moon Men” in…… first grade I think? It was either that or kindergarten. A shame it only aired in August of 1992 but I believe it was a “back to school” type ad so go figure. I actually once had this song as a custom ring tone for an old friend of mine back in 2013 who I since cut ties with for personal reasons. I think I may have even had this as an alarm at one point on my phone in college. And actually on another note, I love that the commercial that comes after this one in the premiere is the Ginsu World Class knife commercial (that recording also being my introduction to it). youtu.be/xvipU3EnQZ8?si=65tSaDhE-KILiB6rI always got amusement out of the two Karate guys giving a slice and kick to the tomato and watermelon with those hilarious power cries. “HEEEEEE-YAH!” “OOO-WAH!” Especially with the tomato just getting squished lol.
