Encyclopedia Brittanica Commercial

[Etobeeshawn]

I don't recall thinking this way back when the commercial first aired, but now I'm thinking what a nerd. What an annoying, arrogant freak who I wish would overkill again..and again..and again. lol.

[tmoverbeck]

Yes, in the 80s even the nerds got mullets. :D

[littledebbie76]

what a douchebag

[happy7117]

Imagine calling that 1-800 number now and getting that red-shirted guy on the phone!!! That's probably what would have happened had someone dialed it then-you probably would have gotten him answering acting all arrogant!

[giedosst]

I remember this, the human body thing grossed me out as a kid. The nerd is still annoying!

[blakethedog]

Oh my god. I totally forgot about this freak. Hahahaha, dying.

[Gothiczartan]

I remember seeing this back in the early 1990s

[NecroticCadaver]

i wonder where that phone number takes you now. i'm too freaked to try it.

This is an old Stan Freberg commercial, right? I *thought* I recognized the narrator's voice.

[FarleyTube]

I wish someone had the first video with this guy but this is the only one I've seen online.

Wikipedia is THE encyclopedia!

[nubsmagee]

I guess Brian from Family Guy did the V.O. for this.

[Winktoven]

This guy now works for NASA designing foam installations on the space shuttle's external fuel tank.

[Pdasilva0324]

Horrible commercial..as were most of the early 90s..and yes, Wikipedia is much more useful than the 1990 Brittanica.

[Orcini]

Stan Freeberg & son of Stan... sounds like a horror film.

[Beltedswiss]

Whoops, didn't read down far enough.  That's his son, eh? Perfect match.

[patuw]

I remember wanting to slap that kid when I was 5 years old. I bet he's in prison now.

[AVDJ]

I had the same impulse.

[eoguy]

I always hated this commercial

[CorporalDanLives]

What a flipping dork, who uses encyclopedias as their only source?

[jessejace]

I will destroy that red-shirted freak.
