FedEx commercial with John Moschitta FedEx commercial with John Moschitta
Posted by: ThreeOranges

Video duration: 56 seconds

John Moschitta is the fast talking guy most people don't know the name of. This FedEx commercial is what made him famous.
This is one of the many good ads to come from Sedelmaier, who also produced the Where's the Beef ads.

Video duration: 123 seconds

These clips of Jim Varney as Ernest P. Worrell come from a bloopers show called "World's Funniest Commercial Goofs." It ran sometime in the 1980s, and was hosted by Robert Guillaume and Emmanuel Lewis.
Strangely, only a few of these seem to be actual bloopers.

Wrestling legend Andre the Giant takes on Chuck Wepner in 1976. This is the opening bout on a card that ended with one of Muhammad Ali's sillier moments. See that here: http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=29qI1GyhD eg
This clip came from Son of Not So Great Moments in Sports from HBO in the 1980s.

Kaypro: The Complete Computer Commercial Kaypro: The Complete Computer Commercial
Posted by: ThreeOranges

Video duration: 26 seconds

This is another ad from Sedelmaier (the folks who brought us "Where's the Beef?").
It's not a particularly good ad, but it's for a wacky old computer and that's good enough. I don't remember the Kaypro brand, but I'm sure other folks on the Internet do.

And Cary Elwes. And some other people I recognize. A Showtime EXCLUSIVE in 1986.
Less obscure than I might've thought, since its IMDB profile actually has comments.

Raggedy Ann and Andy: The Greedy Raggedy Ann and Andy: The Greedy
Posted by: ThreeOranges

Video duration: 195 seconds

The gloppy guy is called "The Greedy." I used to watch this movie all the time when I was a kid, and it has many other disturbing things like this.
I taped it off of "Special Delivery" on Nickelodeon in 1986 or so.

A & W Root Beer Jibba Jabba w/ Mr. T A & W Root Beer Jibba Jabba w/ Mr. T
Posted by: ThreeOranges

Video duration: 18 seconds

It's an A&W ad from some time in the past before now long ago in history back. Looks early 1990s. Certainly Mr. T had already reached the point in his career when he had to have a sense of humor about himself if he wanted to work.

Markie Post Rides a Horse Markie Post Rides a Horse
Posted by: ThreeOranges

Video duration: 45 seconds

I miss the days when we'd make people suffer for their celebrity. I guess "Dancing with the Stars" is close, but it's not nearly as bad as a celebrity rodeo.
Unfortunately, I had taped over most of her performance, so all I have left is an intro from James Coburn, one stunt, and her acting ditzy with her '80s hair.
The show was called "The Wild West Show of the Stars."

Rock Lords Rock Lords

Video duration: 30 seconds

Rock Lords are like Transformers, but instead of turning into something awesome like a car or a jet, they turn into rocks, which can only be enjoyed by throwing them at other kids.

Russian Circles - Lola\ Russian Circles - Lola's Saloon, Ft. Worth, Texas 6/21/2008
Posted by: ThreeOranges

Video duration: 304 seconds

Russian Circles played a good, but short, set. In that time, they managed to play most of the tracks I really wanted to hear, so that was good.
Plus the show was free. At least for me. People were wearing wristbands, but when I arrived, there was nobody at the door. Hooray.

Rainbow Brite wasn't just annoying on screen. As this commercial proves, she was annoying in other media as well.
And she stole music from the Wizard of Oz.

Megami Paradise was an OVA about a bunch of goddesses, if I recall. ADV released it on VHS in the mid-90s and it hasn't found its way to DVD yet.
Sorry about the quality. This tape is just about done for.
