Annoying Encyclopedia Boy

[quirpco]

Except for her flat chest and deep voice, she's actually kinda hot.

[drummerguy1956]

It's Stan Freberg and his son Donovan.

[sheilaboy44]

gosh i wanted him to bang me hard...he was sssoooo freaking hot!!!

[mrpunk]

What the hell is a Mandibula? Its Mandible you idiots! This Encyclopedia sucks.

[sdf2008]

This needs to be remade referencing Wikipedia.

[danielswensen]

I like how even the announcer has had enough of this kid's shit.

[Pcyst]

I remember a skit on SNL with David Spade performing his Hollywood Minute routine referenced Mike Tyson beating the Kid up.  That would have been nice.

[Nihilianth]

lol, he sounded like the voice actor for a TFC sound file that says "OMGWTFCheatingFaggotLoser." lol.

[VIEWMANCY]

This guy is smart, annoying yes, helpful absolutely!

[45thployd]

lol i remember this guy i wonder what he is up to now.

[Will090681]

I love how the narrator of this commercial sounded like he just wanted to call the kid a nerd LMAO

[CJaguar265]

omg its macgyver jr

[Justletmeinyoursite]

We use to call our friend the Encyclopedia Britannica kid in jr. high. He used to get so pissed at us.

[kev3d]

...then he got all quiet one day.... later that afternoon he killed himself.

[Justletmeinyoursite]

No, he joined the marines...he's not a wristcutter like you...emo kid.

:(

[kev3d]

yeah yeah, semper-I had a report due on space-fi.

I guess I'll go buy some more black hair dye and pick up a few more wrist accessories and metal fittings for my face now.

[Justletmeinyoursite]

Good.

Make sure it's a spectacular "ending" and everybody knows you're going off to douchebag heaven: where everything is on sale. All the time, just for you.

Along the vein! Not across!

Image is everthing.

Dress to impress

For the cops and the press.

:(

[kev3d]

No way. Id rather spend time combing my hair over my left eye and writing bad poetry about my parent's divorce. You know you can learn all about famous poets from encyclopedia Britannica? I had to do a report once.

[Justletmeinyoursite]

Classic. Tell you what, you can order a new set by getting a job at a blood bank ya' fuckin emo prick.

Then you can bring all the blood home and bathe in it whilst you write your Poe-like poetry under candle light.

Sorry to hear about the past.

Try not to shit in the tub.

:(

[kev3d]

The past? Oh heavens, no. The divorce is ongoing. They have been getting a divorce for 30 years. I blamed myself the first couple decades though. Speaking of which, divorce law is just one of the many areas covered in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

[Justletmeinyoursite]

Yes I know, but in the Encyclopedia Britannica, it's a bit too brief. A good book on divorce law would be stand alone one; I'm mean one that you could squash a kitten with. Encyclopedia knowledge is known as wikipedia. The difference? Esteemed people handing down snippets of information in the encyclopedia. Wikipedia: anybody who thinks they know "stuff".

Welcome to the Internet.

The Cliff Notes To Life.

[theKB24blitz]

OG IVs...

[Kevin01SH]

Mandibulaaaaaaa

[beerbelly918]

They were great I used to copy stuff out of them all the time for reports.

[quiktymevideo]

I almost did my own rendition of one of the Encyclopedia Britannica commercials for a book report presentation when I was in fourth grade, but changed my mind at the very last minute.

[MacHaxxor]

I wanna rip this kid's mandibulla off.

[GLHat]

Damn, I feel old.

[dijeinyje]

David Spade said it best when he said, "This kid deserves a serious beating."

[artgoddess80]

I always wondered where my mandiblia was!

[11spirals]

hes like that guy from the simpsons who works in krusty burger/every menial job in town

[Xeper1979]

Urgggh he reminds me of an annoying highschool mate of mine. Both were actor wannabes and looked the same

[xXwhitexshadowXx]

so if you want to be called a dork to your friends order now! =D

[lewis105]

yeah he was annoying

[Emanistan]

Whoever posted this should be reported to the Hague Tribunal. How dare you re-open these long-healed wounds?! This ad campaign was a crime against humanity, and all copies of it should be buried at Yucca Mountain. Still, I do get a perverse pleasure in watching it again after all these years...

[emilybsh]

We always used to make fun of this guy! Ha Ha Ha!

[cocobliss30]

Uuggh, I remember this mess! LOL! That dude got on my damn nerves!

[reynoldswrap916]

Im gonna call LOl

[twinpeakbob]

i used to get told that i lookt like this kid in high school all the time ): dont think i do anymore thank gawd, i think it was the hair.

[hankCchinaski]

Brad Pitt

[Cavic1980]

I had a set of these.

[stuntcat666]

yike, maximum deja vu! Somehow 20 years later I remember his cowlick, how much it bothered me. It still gets on my nerves >:(

[spritefish]

funny how he was showing the stupid books when he had a PC right there. then again PCs where shit back then but made awesome game consoles. especially the Commodore 64 with its blazing 16 colors and whopping 64k ram. :D

[elfishfae]

Encyclopedias lol.

[elfishfae]

holy bad acting!

[kimberkid]

Oh my god. I haven't seen this commercial since I don't know when, but I could quote it once I saw it (if that makes any sense). That's terrifyingly good advertising, to make me remember decades later.

[autodrivex]

Completely agree. Haven't seen it since then, but I knew most every line.  Scary indeed.

[johnnycriollo]

i love this encyclopedia i still have it since 1991

[VVT4ME]

This guy's prolly doing scat porn in Mexico now.

[CuervoBlack06]

Wow I remember watching this condescending little prick back in the day and even then I still wanted to punch him in the throat

[vinnieofnj]

Remember encyclopedias?

[LifterOn]

Haw Haw Delightful! So Disarming, So Innocent Yet So Effective!

[68cyclonegt]

That know-it-all jackass was so fucking irritating.

Kids today have no clue what we old farts back then had to go through in order to get info, even though it was obsolete after the damn books were printed.

[Alfrunk]

Hell, I actually masturbated to this.

[seafoodgar]

it says 1991 idiot.

[pkwebdezign]

Whoever posted this should be SHOT!

I hated him then, & I hate him now.

ANNOYING LITTLE SNOT

[Lalo3001]

I remember this punk. I was in high school when this one came out. I hated this mother fucking wad. He reminded me of this douche I had to sit next to in Biology class.

PS: Yes, kiddies, us old farts had to search through big heavy books before the Internet. You fucking kids have it made.

[gsmoothness]

Man-I feel SOOO bad for anyone who spent the thousands of dollars on a complete set of these! Can we say "INTERNET"!!!!

[angryshoebox]

Yeah, I remember this ad! The glasses, hairdo and shirt are extremely '80s geeky,lol.

[arothmanmusic]

That's Stan Freberg doing the voiceover, and the kid is his son Donovan.

[SERIALGOTHNYC]

REMEMBER ME???

God this kid was fucking annoying...I still laugh whenever I remember David Spade calling for him to get a serious beating in on episode of 'SNL'.

[Fernandez5]

There was commercials like these even after I was born? That is a sad excuse for a commercial. When did commercials changed from this crap to anything else?

[lostboy29]

I was 10 I just thought these comercials where hilarious  THE ANOUNCER GUY CRACKED ME UP

[godeatgod666]

Wow, I guess when I was 7 or 8 I didn't realize how annoying he really was.

[NstyN8]

Z Cavarichis!

[Natorade]

its called a mandible not a mandibula that stupid fag.

[mikedubya]

Actually, both are technically correct, since mandibula is the term for the lower jaw of any vertebrate, and mandible is usually reserved for human specimens. He's still a fag, though.

[lawiay]

God, even as a kid I thought this guy was a complete douche.

[mc52877]

when i wa 9 this commercial was all over saturday morning.He was my first crush when I was a little girl :)

[LitMatch]

You see kiddies, back in the day, us old farts had to copy our reports out of a book called an "encyclopedia". We didn't have the ability to cut and paste out of wikipedia

[BricktownBubba]

And we had to actually leave the house and go to a place where they kept books that we could read for free called a library.

[twizzler121]

I remember this commercial! From the days when computers were used mainly for "word processing" and floppy disks were about the same size as a dvd case today.

[LameckSevensky]

let's see that 800 number

[sirReginaldFartsalot]

Holy crap. Back when computers were mostly useless. I used to have an encyclopedia set from the 1970's that my uncle bought for me for like $3000.. Do they even sell them anymore!??

[Echdrum]

This was the 2nd commercial for E.B. with this kid. In the 1st commercial he had much shorter hair- hence "Remember me, I'm the kid that had a report due on space..." I feel like this commercial was on just last year- i guess this means that I really AM getting old- and I'm only 32!!!!

[TheGaylard]

fake.

[JustyHakubi]

Unfortunately, not fake. I remember that annoying commercial from the 80's.

[mthib13]

WOW, I vaguely remember this. I remember not understanding anything said in the commercial though because I was so young. "I always wondered where my manfibula is!" Haha, wow...this commercial dug deep inside of me.

[WCELY]

The narrator is acually the kid's father (Stan Freberg)

[rickoshaycomics]

So this is for some sort of analog internet?

[scubielouie]

I am a relative of this moron! He's really like that in real life.

[Raulbikcube]

Isn't he Stan Freberg's kid?

[fredoviola]

I am a good old friend of Donavan's, and he is one of the strangest and most wonderful persons I have ever known. I never liked this comercial, because it isn't so strange and D seems tense. Must be working for his dad... But in real life D is one of the most warm-hearted, and again, very wonderfully strange persons you can imagine. Not a moron at all. Look him up on youtube and you can find several wierd videos he has made.

[buttercupme]

omg i remember this commercial

[achieva81]

Me too

[rmac360]

He probably didnt even have internet back then, which explains why they were selling encyclopedias. And now, all these years later, here he is on the youtube. Funny.

[maggiethecat1974]

I remember this. It aired in mid afternoon all the time and drove me CRAZY!

[MissPMS]

This kid is such a tool. Why doesn't he just use the computer he's fucking sitting next to?

"I think I made that abundantly clear" say that to the wrong person and you're going to get your ass kicked.

[EtreTocsin]

LOL! No sh*t! And at the very least, couldn't they have found a "tool" who's voice had gone through puberty?!!

[ArugulaZ]

Wow, you really don't remember what life was like before the Internet, do you? Before 1996, the only way to find facts was to dig through books like these.

JR

[MissPMS]

I was born in 1991...so no I don't know what life was like before the internet. Wow that's kind of weird...

[mikedubya]

Shoot, what was I up to back in 1991? Anyway it's not so weird, considering one day your kids are going to be all like, "You grew up without teleporters?"

I know it sounds impossible now, but 200 years ago they said the same thing about sustained flight.

[Chuckernut5]

Hated this kid.

[Winktoven]

They present that commercial like being a nerd is cool, so your parents will buy the encyclopedias for you.

[StitchedGirl]

Geez, I remember wanting to STRANGLE that guy...

[Krifter]

my mom bought those for me and my brother.... and we still have them..... now that is scary

[Kwizzy02]

that WAS kind of scary...

[some1shy]

i remember this one they played it all the time..lol

i wonder thou if that 1-800 number if it still works..

[atarmiga]

it works... I call it. but for some reason they don't have any encyclopedias for sale
