Still have the original pair I bought in 1989 and are anything but lame. The quality of the original BBs was exceptional. The filtering allowed all light frequencies thru except short wavelength blue and ultraviolet rays and the clarity was phenomenal. I understand the originals are still available from the company at about a third what I paid back in '89.
@DaleCaliente no! thats why theres 80s and theres 90s. if u were born 1983 and sum1 said u were born 1993, u mean to tell me theres no difference? Dude just STFU!! YOULL LOOK SMARTER!!
This dude is in Vegas now... he yelled out to me "Are you wearing Blu Bockers!? Get over here thats MY COMMERCIAL" Then he freestyled for me and all my friends... Go find him, he's there!
I enjoyed this clip from way back when, sent to me from a very special frien'
Me 'bout 30, he about ten...
Married to his Mom, which weren't no fun,
But tha time of my life was havin' me a son.
Yeaaa...
So there you go folks, out in Internet lan' so much time has past, so we do best as we can. But i ain' no foo' I am a rocker there ain' no sun in my eye, cause I'm wearin' m'blockers.
I dont remember how many times i saw this when i woke up in the morning. This rap is emblazoned in my memory. I can believe this is on youtube. this is approx 20 years old.
I bought those for my brother as a gag-gift a few years ago because we used to make fun of this commercial as kids and he actually wears them when driving on highways (but not streets with stop lights because he can't differentiate the colors. Everything is orange).
Dude I was just in LA last Thur. waiting in line for the Jimmy Kimmel Show and this guy is still out there on the streets doing his thing. What a trip man. Made my night. I was the only one who reconized him.
I got stoned once (rare event) and went for a walk down Hollywood Blvd. I was incredibly high. Then I saw this guy with a dred wig on, sitting on an amp and rapping. This was about three years about. Pretty surreal.
I used to buy pot from this guy back in 1989/90. He lived in the same building on Hollywood and Western where my band had a practice room. Lots of musicians lived in that building and had practice rooms there even though it was not rated for living in.
Remember all you folks out there in TV land, that the host of this commercial's name was Joe Sugarman! (and I saw Dr. Geek with a mic and speaker walking on Hollywood Blvd. This past Thursday)
I knew this guy from high school. We both went to Kettring High School in Detroit. He also sold ice cream in the neighbor hood. He'd ride down the street rapping while selling his ice cream.
lol can remember watching 94or 95 nba finals , rockets v magic . i sit up to 2 to 3 in the morning to watch baketball, then this infomercial came on , id nevr get to bed then it was off to school.
"You can get 'em where..you gotta order 'em on TV? Alright now believe you me."
Wow, that is some classic stuff! That commercial popped into my head this morning when I heard somebody say blockers, and I couldn't remember the words to the rap. Thank God for Youtube. Dr Geek is the shiznit!!!!
The story behind the Blu Blocker sunglasses is great! Joe Sugarmam was a simple copy writer who was asked to write ad copy for the glasses that cost like $800 dollars a pair!
He decided he could get them made much cheaper and 200 million pair later and it's a dream story!
Search google for Joe Sugarman if you want to fine out more.
Does Anyone have the actual footage of the New Yorker Guy that says that their awful on live camera.Somehow it aired on the Commercial it was hysterical.Typical of a New Yorker Character.I mean the Guy was the Best.
I'd been obsessed with Dr Geek (memorised all the Blu Blockers words) for about 10 years all the way in Australia. I now live in LA and nearly wet my pants when I accidentally stumbled upon him on Hollywood Blvd. He was so excited that I had seen him on TV in Australia. He then rapped some Blu Blockers for me and then did a rap about me! Thanks Geek!
I was driving a HMMWV with the sun in my eyes and I said, "I need some BluBlockers!" I knew somebody on youtube had this video...haha!! This video is maybe the most old school videos I remember.
You know, I could have SWORN this was from the mid-'80s as well, like '87 or '88, but I just realized he's rapping over the instrumental of a Too Short song that came out in '90. Wild.
Geek is a legend. He still raps for random pedestrians EVERY DAY on Hollywood Blvd in front of Mann's Chinese. Sometimes I won't see him for a few weeks and wonder if something happened. But he never fails to re-appear eventually!!!
