Oh Jesus..... I suddenly feel 9 again watching this.

And yes, kiddies, McDs was SOOO much better back then!

Tiny Toon Adventures was like the most watched cartoon back then!

i cannot believe i'd forgotten the trippy smarties ad. its all coming back to me now!

[an1man1ac54l1f3]

McDonald's Happy Meal adverts were WAY better back then!

Damn junk food contraversy (spelling?) of nowadays... X(

Hopefully, things will one day return to the peaceful state they were in back then...

[shermanvermin76]

@an1man1ac54l1f3 Well, the only *way* things ever *will* return to the peaceful state they were back then is when someone (though it'll have to be someone other than *Albert Einstein*, since *he's* now no longer *with* us since Monday 18 April 1955, when he was seventy-six years old) invents us a *time machine*.

(comment continued) @an1man1ac54l1f3 A fast food advert (from this year, in December, two months after *this* was taken) *I* like is 'Trump Plaza'; it featured some grey bearded men in a spaceship and there was a voice over singing 'NICK NICK NICK NICK!' It was merely a Saturday Night Live parody of 'Pizza Hut' (though still used the same 'Red Roof' logo as the real live restaurant it was parodying).

[shermanvermin76]

(*third* comment!) @an1man1ac54l1f3 The voice over singing 'NICK NICK NICK NICK!' was a parody of 'HARDY HARDY HARDY HARDY!'

I remember two 'Pizza Hut' (the *real* version of the restaurant) adverts from the same December 1993 period - one of them featured a choir singing 'Walking in the Air' until one of the choir singer's voices broke and, when he couldn't *sing* properly anymore with his *low* voice, he asked 'What *now*?'

[shermanvermin76]

(*fourth* comment!) @an1man1ac54l1f3 and, to make up, they went to Pizza Hut, followed by the voice over singing 'HARDY HARDY HARDY HARDY!'

The *other* ad featured a couple, with the man asking 'Now we, the Pizza Hut?', again followed by the voice over singing 'HARDY HARDY HARDY HARDY!'

I can't even *find* this advert (even *here*); I'd be able to if we had a *time machine*.

@shermanvermin76

The song used in the Pizza Hut ads is "Treat Her Right" (Originally performed by Roy Head, later covered by Otis Redding, Tom Jones and The Commitments (their version was used for the ads). The main chorus is "Hey Hey Hey Hey!". Then they used the "Nick Nick Nick" bit for some Star Trek promo. Hope that helps.

[shermanvermin76]

@Hulk2k6 Thanks but do you remember the *other* Pizza Hut ad I described? The man who asked 'Now we, the Pizza Hut?' (asking 'Now *shall we go to* the Pizza Hut?' in an informal way) sounded like Wallace (of course you know who I *mean* by Wallace) because of his somewhat squeaky voice.

It's good you remember that ad I described featuring the grey bearded men in the spaceship, with the voice over singing 'NICK NICK NICK NICK!' and BTW, calmccrystal uploaded the ad with the choir.

[shermanvermin76]

@an1man1ac54l1f3 BTW, the spelling is 'controversy'.

[Rachael8989]

That McDonald's advert was awesome! made we giggle with reminising memories. I miss all those great little characters. <3
