Watch TV from the 90s and earlier

What is wild to me is how many of the commercials I nearly instantly recognized, or at least have some partial recollection of. Pocahontas movie promos like mad. Bac-O Bacon bits. That car commercial with the 'Dooby-dooby-doo' part of Sinatra's Strangers in the Night. That fancy sounding 1992 Acura commercial with the classical music.

Maybe it's just weird confirmation bias but I felt like as soon as some of them start airing I'm like "yep... I remember seeing this." Whereas I don't feel that about much of the shows or newscasts. Maybe just shows how impressionable repetitive advertisements are on young minds.

Incredibly well stated. This was the comment that convinced me to check out the link and, man, what a blast from the past. So many of those commercials I literally haven’t thought about in decades and couldn’t have told you a thing about them beforehand, but sure enough, many of them tickled a little spot in my brain and I knew I had seen them before.

That early ‘90s commercial aesthetic is something else.
