1992 Nick Jr. commercial break

[massgator1]

the david the gnome promo in this video made me cry for hours at night when i was a kid but watching it now it brings i big smile to my face.

[NinjaAntx]

bless your soul for putting this up.

[TheCorkon]

The music for "The Little Koala" was also in "SpongeBob SquarePants"!

[justinfleming1988]

i was 4 in 1992

[ririckyrickyracoon03]

I remember when I got Gearios, sons of bitches gave me the set with 8 missing pieces!

[spindalis79]

David the Gnome...for being on Nick Jr. it sure had a lot of nudity! I remember seeing David's hairy butt as he exited the bathtub. And today Fred Penner would be Fred Pennerphile.... In the commercial he says "I want to have fun with you." Can you think of all the ways that could be taken today?!

[littlegreengamer]

Boy that Encyclopedia Britannica commercial brings back memories. I remember that like it was almost yesterday.

[aaronjacobwillman]

i remember this Nick Jr stuff cos i had little cousins that lived with me in 1992. ... but truly, this is worth it just for the Ren and Stimpy ident at the end!

[TeamMountainGaming]

"they're endangered...."

"i know."

[megajp331]

i remember fred penner

[blackandwhitepro34]

Gearios,no wikipedia,ren and stimpy.......hmmmm YUP! seems like my Childhood!

[sexcbull]

Does anyone remember this intro to Nick Jr, it was long before face. The camera was positioned to be you (the child watching) as it moved along into a hot air ballon with other kids, and when the ballon fired up the kids waved to the man at the ground and they had a picnic inside the ballon while going into the diffrent shows..Anyone else remember this or anything close too it?

[tkdyo]

I feel conflicted...I remember david the gnome, lil bits and eureeka's castle. (and shows that came after) but I dont remember the fred guys place or the koala show. Its a little confusing Oo

BUT I totally remember that block commercial now lol

[starsweet4]

omg!! i remember the blonde-haired dude from the encyclopedia commercial!!!

[maverick4970]

encyclopedia's are endangered now. DAMN YOU WIKIPEDIA!!!!!

[drumdreamer92]

David the Gnome - worst finale ever

look it up

[TheNattak]

@drumdreamer92 Yeah...I was so sad.

[apachette07]

@drumdreamer92 I remembered when David died I cried like a newborn lol. God I loved that show!

[IntelInside2020]

@apachette07-That's hilarious - I used to watch David the Gnome with my little sister;she was two and loved watching it. I was in the 4th or 5th grade,and at first had no interest in watching it, but then it became a guilty pleasure of mine. That show was truly awesome!

[apachette07]

@IntelInside2020 LOL yeah David the Gnome was quite addicting. I remember I couldn't wait to come home from school and watch it. I think I was in kindergarten I believe. The television in the living room STAYED on Nick lol. I'm glad you shared a love for the show as well. I watched tons of episodes but can only remember 2. Lol. That show rocked!

[MTreason]

Wow, now Nick Jr doesn't even have commercials. They have the moose that teaches the kids their letters and numbers. Then you have the shows that are uninterrupted. Man, I miss being little and watching the commercials and wishing I could have all the stuff in the commercial! Except the encyclopedias

[TheSturgeonGeneral]

DAVID THE GNOME = BEST SHOW EVER

[thesupersmashbro]

Those Gearios look badass. I'm 15 and I still think those look fun.

[fredespanish]

I remember "BRITANICA ADVANTAGE"

[musicAL722]

I have never loved a commercial break so much in my life.

[genevincent89]

I ALWAYS watched David the Gnome! It was on with Litt'l Bits, Eureka's Castle, Papa Beaver's Story Time, and Classic Grimm's Fairy Tales! Oh man, I miss those days.

[MrROFLOL]

The closed captioning interprets the audio hilariously.

[musicAL722]

@MrROFLOL That was really funny. apparently the encyclopedias have a "snack section."

[fredespanish]

@MrROFLOL YEAH LOL....."Thank you January" ...."He has a really hard life...." xD

[solidgold1988]

a sudden whiff of nostalgia...i feel old watching this and i'm only 21

[Danielt104]

I wonder if we can still order Gerios

[BieberIsBadForKids1]

@Danielt104 Encyclopedia Britannica>Encyclopaedia Dramatica!

[raymondclark32]

it brings me back memories watcing the lil bits.the koala bears,noodles,maya the bee with my little 2 of my nephews now teens today.i love watching those cartoon back then.

[bluu903]

6th person down from me: my family lives in a bad neighborhood with alot of people on the streets and no other kids to play with):

[HenryvKeiper]

Ah yes, back when women had poofy hair and sweaters were the in-thing.

And, much like other people, I remember every single one of these commercials. Man, thanks for the upload.

[pivotvidsforyou]

My school uses "Gearios", except they don't spin..or do anything...

[BIGxMatt]

"I like to have fun with you!!!!" OMG that was sooo creepy back in the day..

I didn't really like Nick JR that much, I was only 4 but I liked Little Bear!

[app129alt]

Yay Adventures Of The Little Koala!

[maskedwalnut]

i just called the number to get some Gearios and it was busy. lol

[JandCHolt]

its sad to see that all kids wanna do these days is sit on there ass an play xbox & wii an eat all day! wut ever happend to tha good ol days where kids wanted to play outside all day? jump rope, skip it, ridin bikes, playin at tha park? im jus glad i got to be part of tha 90s when lyfe as a kid wus fun & worth it. i feel bad for all these kids now whos parents dnt care wut they do an let um ruin their childhood wit shit thats gonna hit um later in lyfe, such as all these poinless videogames!!

[freakyandsexy]

You sound like my mother. To answer your question, videogame are more advance now than they were back then. Thus, these 21st century kids are hooked on them We were lucky to have games where the character move up and down as well as side-ways. If i were 16 years young living in this time period, I would probaly be outside enjoy life since TV today is crappy compared to what we had 15-20 years ago. 20 century rules!!

[babymo610]

omg...WHY THE HELL DID I SMILE WHEN I SAW THIS? I REMEMBER EVERY COMMERCIAL!

[Custom09]

OMG!!!! Encyclopedias commercial! and those frikken geario blocks! they would show those commercials every other break ALL the time. lol

[CeeLojr2]

man i miss the old nick.nick needs to go back as it was

[m22k3yt]

Nick should just play everything from the 90's onto the next decade, with old commercials and all. Think of it like an enormous clip that is 10 years long. I don't think anyone will mind, plus it will show kids today what real shows/cartoons look like.

[pujols37105]

Oh boy, this takes me back to summer vacation 1989 (when I was 6). I'd always be the first to wake up and catch David the Gnome. Then my brother would wake up and join me when Pinwheel came on.

[abrahamWCE]

Amazing, Nick Jr. was more adult thing before with all those ads of buying things with credit cards

[vmkdude22]

i had gearios

[shopgrl235]

this is amazing! i remembered every single one of these commercials! memories!! i remember i wanted the gearios!!! haha

[omacron6]

holly crap!

i remember all these commercials LOL

[wingnut4427]

WOW !! A time before you could find Gearios on Ebay.. When you needed Encyclopedias because the Internet was just getting started & Ren & Stimpy weren't gay ! Damn ! it all looks like it was from the 70's ! 0_o

[MacDragard]

@wingnut4427 Not to mention shows like Fred Penners Place wouldn't exist because resembles pedophilia too much.

[XDapopeX]

wtf i want some gerios im calling that number NOW! even though it prollyt doesnt exist anymore...

[jackassguy111]

dam gearios i rember those think i still have mine in my attic

[tehampto]

I remember those commericials and promos!!! I can't believe I remember that... That was so long ago...

[copnite12342]

OMG!!!! it's been so long OMG!!!!

[videosrock7]

I remember little koala!

[ExistentialPickle]

gearios still look like they blow

[mikedestructive]

God, I hated those encyclopedia commercials.

[plantguy9]

What do you know? David the Gnome was an awesome cartoon series and I miss it!!!

[dentonscheibal3]

Yeah, and i wouldn't be surprised

if that's where Travelocity got the idea

for their traveling gnome mascot!

[zimrocks13]

0:28 WTF Were they afraid to show kissing on kids tv?

[Moonbabe1989]

Its an eskimo kiss... and its for children!

[BoogsterSU2]

Encyclopedia Britannica is like a miniature portion of Wikipedia in the 20th century! XD

[Blakefe]

i had gearios when i was 5

[tatumd666]

wow

[cyberwolf001]

That brings back memories...

[calin719]

OMG I wanted gearios when I was a kid, I was a little older too if I remember correctly. Now my kids see those type commercials and want the same junk. And that's what it is too, junk. :P

[JKTsquad]

1:20

[Generic1125]

How dare you speak ill of David the Gnome. AWESOME Cartoon.

[new5orleans2saints1]

nickelodeon sucks now

[SeeDzNutts]

So does The Disney Channel. It's not even about Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck anymore. But I guess you gotta change with the times and hire kids who can star in shows while at the same time have music careers.

[new5orleans2saints1]

yeah but i mean it isn't even kids now if you think about it, it's all about dating and drama.

[Jewell262]

@SeeDzNutts i know, Disney, nick, and cartoon network really need to go back, although i like adventure time and flapjack, i also like chowder...i guess

[schemer1991]

@new5orleans2saints1 it does what sharon lois and bram elephant show

[1INW]

@new5orleans2saints1 I agree strongly

[ravengurl92]

I missed these shows on Nickelodeon. We didnt have cable when I was little. So I never saw Fred Penner ,Eureeka or any other early 90s nick show.

[unicron8]

You and me both.

[videogamelovergirl12]

ah,the good ol' days when nickelodion and nick jr. was good and not all that teenager stuff that they air today.

ah,livin' in the 90's...good times,good times.

[abrahamWCE]

yeah, when Nickelodeon didn´t had that ugly logo it´s using now

[konatre]

i want gearios

[tbara1234]

I love these commercials.

[yoshiroks777]

ima buy some geryos nao, kthnx

[Zacq768]

wow this was definitely before japanese cartoons flooded the child of every mind on the planet.

good times.

[Speigeleisen]

@Zacq768 Nick Jr is what got me into Older Anime today

[Zacq768]

Thats a shame.

[aangels92]

They dont' sell encylopdias anymore/. we have the internet.

[McLovin6n9]

really I was going to write the same thing just now screw encyclopedia we got internet now lol but yurs works out find.

[SenshiChan]

Wow look at the computer! Alot has changed over the years! XD

[claudieatthedisco]

i have 2 videos of david the gnome only it was like little twins or something.

[Teter21]

aah man the days befor google it and wiki it, when you still had to use the good old encyclopaedia to look up info. Man I miss the good old days.

[americanidol434]

i remember Mega Blocks commerical on Nick!

[cbsteffen]

I think I seem to understand a point here. Nick Jr. basically means Nickelodeon for the younger kids.

[tiabyrd444]

00:07 Fred Penner's Place is next on Nick Jr.

[americanidol434]

OMG. I REMEMBER ZOOBOOKS COMMERICAL.

[abra526]

I think it is strange to see commercials that don't give you a website to go to!

[minson22]

LMAO i know right!!!!

[retinchet]

The present sucks. I want to go back and live in the '90s forever :(

[LightWarrior2000]

Fuck I nostalgia'd hard.

[dangeroftime]

A gnome riding a fox...incredible! These advertisements make more sense than what's on these days.

[aangels92]

That Elephant show at the beginning the epsidoe was made in 1988. I saaw it the copyright withte Spider clapping./

[VolkColopatrion]

nostalga.... my god

[SJRogers]

Oh, how I wish these days would come back!!!!

[xxlilpartygirlxx]

so does everyone.......I'M GONNA COMPLAIN!!

[Uhhxhi]

XD I agree.

Lets all complain like children, hopefully we'll get someone's attention.

Damn it.

I miss this.

[alltradespro]

i miss old school nick so bad...i can remember every commercial and show...then tv just went downhill

[skystarless]

I used to watch Nick Jr when I was home sick from school. It was a guilty pleasure as I was 9 in 1992 and way too old for Nick Jr. XD

[kaligula785]

whole ish i remeber the gnome show they used to drink honey suckles like it was there beer

[demonchica18]

ahhhh! the elephant show at the beginning!!! that was MY show! XD

[DarkLiger]

Fred Penner always creeped the hell outta me

[FullMetalNinja001]

HOLY SHIT!! I remember this

[SpongLena]

Are mew kidding? Classic Nick Jr. is tons better than the s*** dey air today.

[lovecramer]

LOL Every daycare center you go to now have thoses Gearios! Kids don't know how to play with them.

[frenchfries5678]

hahahahahah

[jay4457]

im a grown ass man, and when i saw david the gnome i screamed out "david the gnome" like a 6 year old kid....damn i use to love that show

[Skullcrusher1]

Wow...Why do I remember so much of this still?! lol.

[Jzs20]

They did their job that's for sure. I'm 26 years old and I still remember these commercials. Damn advertising.

[de132]

that kid is so un-enthusiastic

[seksisbad]

Wow, thanks so much for posting this.

[twiddleywink]

i want gearios! :D

[Sportymcdouglas]

I think i began watching nick in '93

[samisreallyfunny]

[tbara1234]

[fullofkrap]

"they're endangered" "i know" wow deadpan as fuck. i laughed. (out loud!)

[HanmaHayes]

[DavidLewComedy]

Has anyone called the 800 Gearios number!?!?? Its busy!

[CocaColaGirl77]

[juanantoniopastor]

"they're endangered... i know" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[whenbutterflys]

Best encyclopedia commercial ever! haha.

[gjs0051]

[Vechi34]

[MiltownPunkette21]

I also meant to ask what show that was kicking off this video. I remember those spiders, but not the name of the show....

[MiltownPunkette21]

Man, whatever happened to Gearios? :-)

[Powerdrift5]

I figure it was wise to put Gearios back in the box when finished.You step on one of those things in the middle of the night and its gonna hurt. Look at the way the dad has to pretend to be interested.

[kelzosaurus]

oh my goddddddddd 90's fashion!

[Sig19]

The Guy in the Encyclopedia Britannica Commercial is definately the guy from the ShamWow Commercial.

[StefanoFan27]

Wow, I Think That Fred Penner's Place Beats The "Indiscent Word" Out Of Mister Rogers's Neighborhood And Captain Kangaroo Too. Oh Btw I Never Had The Gearios Set Or The Encyclopaedia Britannica Either.

[thedeskjob]

holy shit! I had the plushie on the bookshelf!

[ace1238]

wow, the kid in the britannica commercial sure seemed enthusiastic haha

[evilperson3596]

I want some freaking Gearios!! :)

[rainbowgashes333]

Wow, I remember David the Gnome, but I forgot his name! LOL! Thank you soooo much for showing this, ahhh, the memories! Agh, Koala Bear! I loved that show too! Oh I could hug you!!

[Sandrawesome]

[bigkoy328]

"there endangered. i know!!..lol.. lmao..

[Rach84]

I remember all of this more or less. I was 8 at the time. I miss being a kid!!

[1015287]

What was the first show OMG i have bin looking for this show I remember watching these shows when i was 5 years old in 1992

[Lab3920]

"They're endangered!"

"I know..."

Most depressing dialogue ever.

[inzanozulu]

It went a little more like:

"So what are you studying?!"

"elephants..."

"Ah! Volume four! Check it out!"

"they're endagered.."

"I know :("

The kid seriouslly needed some enthusiasm

[whenbutterflys]

Haha. Emo nick jr.

[BKazzanova05]

Whats The Name Of The Cartoon Use To Come on Nick Jr Cant Remember The Name Just Some Characters Ben Sky Kiki?

[jamchiney1973]

remember on sundays the Fairytales the Grims fairtails

[RebelTaxi99]

Britanica? That would make an awesome metal band name

[BlueOceanBelow]

Wow, thanks for uploading. I was probably watching this exact commercial break when it aired. It's all coming back! :)

[pokanoka06]

someone please help me im trying to find this old show that use to come on nick jr. I don't remember the title all I remember is that it was about a father beaver telling his kids a story about different stuff. So if you remember the show please reply thanks

[AilurophilicArtist]

You're thinking of "Papa Beaver's Story Time," which didn't show up on Nick Jr. until 1995ish.

[pokanoka06]

thank you AilurophilicArtist

[CaramelMamiChula]

u r the fucking man.thank u 4 bringing this back 2 the memories.btw,im 22 years old.

[luigipizza23]

Can anyone tell me where I can Find any videos about this The Little Koala show?

[yungboyz90]

ahahah i remember some of these

[quiktymevideo]

I almost did a rendition of the Encyclopedia Britannica commercial for a book report in fourth grade.

[novemberunderground]

90 pieces isn't really alot.

[novemberunderground]

I haven't ruled out the possibility of a time machine being invented in my lifetime... But if I go back to '85, am I a child or still an adult?

[Atm830]

Lol, I remember watching these commercials as a kid and believing every word these guys were saying. And I always bought those toys because the kids were smiling and "enjoying" them on TV. Ahh, the whole-hearted commercials of the 90s...

[SakuraKitsune1008]

The Little Koala is actually an anime.

[punkyrubberducky4]

Oh. my God. I remember being PISSED at the Encyclopedia Britannica commercial and I was like 5. Also, I wasn't sure The Little Koala existed til I saw this, I thought it was in my mind. Thanks for posting this!

[gguru1]

Wow, encyclopedias made out of paper. We had it rough in those days.

[Xenomovies]

Are you sure this is 92?

[AilurophilicArtist]

As sure as the day is long. Why do you ask?

[SugarKowalczyk88]

HAHA, I love how you said that.

[Murnau22]

I'M FREAKING OUT!!! This awesome!

[soulfulsongbyrd]

gearios? wow i don't remember those. i remember tinker toys and lincoln logs though. tinker toys always had those diagrams of complex things like the windmill and airplane. some of them were almost impossible to make lol.

[xxcourier]

i wonder how much and/or/if they still sell gearios

[sspoke]

i wanna get gearios PLZZZZZ GEARIOUS GEARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iROCK9545]

gnomes...lol

[AilurophilicArtist]

Ren and Stimpy wasn't a Nick Jr. program; it was a part of Nickelodeon's regular lineup. Nickelodeon showed network ID bumpers at random.
