B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping commercials from the 90s and 00s into the ol’ VCR. 

As someone who a) works in marketing and b) is a pop culture aficionado with a penchant for nostalgia, I’ve been thinking a lot about commercials from my formative years. 

The 90s/early 00s LOVED a jingle. They also loved creating weird ass creatures and bringing inanimate objects to life. Toy Story came out during this time period, to drive my point home. 

I watch a lot of content (spoiler), and they just don’t make commercials like they used to.

That’s why I’ve carefully selected ten of my favorite commercials from the past for all of us to revisit and remember our own mortality. 

Pepsi Custom CD Summer Promotion Commercial 

I still know every single word to this promo, and I don’t want to talk about it.

I wonder how many stunt people were needed to dodge those giant, animated suckers.

Reese’s Puffs Commercial 

If you don’t sing this jingle randomly to yourself, you clearly aren’t me.

KP finally bought me a set of these, and I kid you not, they were dried up within three days.
