Zellers commercial Feat. The Joker

[theREALevilbunny]

Yep. The joker just ran off to go rape somebody. But at least zellers toy prices are safe.

[boltsguy21]

holy gotham, I almost had a seizure triying to read on batman's lips.

[TheToenninga]

THE LAW OF TOILET!

[RadioactiveCassowary]

HOLY BOTOX BATMAN!

[Raverque]

WELL SAID ROBIN

[Hypestyle]

too bad they didn't use this animation for a batman series during this timeframe..

[ninjaaaaasplat]

hold 2

[Cloudforce1]

Is Zellers still around?

[mra1996]

Holy facial expressions Batman !

[fishman123451]

what the fuck is wrong with the jokers arms

[frozenray0079]

00:16....what the fu...?

[redblackjester]

stop on " no body" and you got a really ugly face

[troyfmcbean]

"Holy Oneliner Batman"

[IGeorge94]

So many questions for this advert, but not sure how to start it

[theREALevilbunny]

LOL

I like the way the Jokers arms move when he runs

[Wh3nYour3Strang3]

And then the Joker ran off to rape someone. But the toy prices are totally safe.

[JoeyBatz]

Batman makes sure that toy stores that charge the highest prices are shut down and their owners sent to Arkham Asylum. I believe that the premise for Arkham City, right?

[ceitiosaurus]

Some day I'm gonna make a short cartoon just like this.

[PivotPiAnimations]

That's actually a pretty cool ad. The "holy one liner" was great satire; I didn't notice it at first.

[Goldmagikarp1]

WELL SAID ROBIN.

[locksmith898]

um The fuck?

[NRGWAG]

Where's the bug-eyed midgets and nude photos of a bleeding Barbara Gordon?

[redblackjester]

@NRGWAG thats on the comic not here (yet)

[SalNightmare209]

0:25 Batman's Rape Face.

[hcig]

holy shit, thats some good animation for an 80s tv ad.

[HornetFellow]

What the fuck is Zellers?

[melvar105]

@HornetFellow the canadian counterpart of target

[HornetFellow]

@melvar105 Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

[TheDevilbuster]

Oh, that's why I've never seen this commercial, or even heard of Zeller's before; It's Canadian. :P

[TheCharleyman87]

... Ok seriously. The next Batman cartoon as to look like that!

[Krataka15792]

WELL SAID ROBIN

[baconlabs]

0:16 -0:18 looks like something out of a nutty Gmod movie.

[GiromCalica]

Batman's mouth is VERY floppy when he talks...

[whozurmomma]

batman has a very questionable face every single frame... almost.

[21h040349160]

DAMN i love this animation

[angeltosome]

Brian Bolland did the character designs and the backgrounds look a lot like the original version of The Killing Joke.

[TheRealGentleman]

Family's all like "The Joker just killed some lady in the sports department and you're telling me about the price of toys while he skips away...WTF?"

[KevinSmithStuff]

fucking awesome=))))))

[BLUESLASH13]

dude just stop it at 7 seconds and look at batmans face it's messed up

[redrosefriendy]

"Well said Robin!"

Batman's jaw is so epic.

[CrazyClownGirl]

oh dear god... best joker ever! hahaha! imagine if every joker flailed like a monkey and made high pitched squeaky noises!

[HoleInTheCarpet]

Just... freeze the video at 0:13 and prepare to tell us tomorrow how much sleep you didn't have tonight

Now THAT is some good old 80s Nightmare Fuel.

[ZurxEnxArrh]

@HoleInTheCarpet AND that's My New Icon. xDxD

[danime724]

I love the way this is animated. The lip synch is so funny.

[zoist80]

The animation is actually pretty good.

[desotowrong]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I can't stop laughing, the animation style looks cool overall kind of like The Killing Joke graphic novel, but the exaggerated voices and facial expressions were hilarious. And please don't get me started on the way Joker ran off down the street! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[DoctorPretorious616]

Batman and the Joker look very much the way Brian Bolland drew them in The Killing Joke graphic novel by Alan Moore, and this ad came out the same year! Wonder if Bolland had anything to do with this ad...

[BurnRoddy]

Interesting how in the 80s the price was am important matter while in the 90s the fact that their head's would not fall off after you took it out of the case was the matter.

[Aelflar]

Bats has a pretty classy booming voice! XD

"WELL said, Rrrobin!"

[CenturionRyan]

Wait, what the fuck?

Is that Christopher Randolph?

[redrosefriendy]

Batman's face cracks me up.

[airwolfman]

the animation still blows my head xD

[magmablock]

What the hell is with his face!?

[Frostman9000]

zellers is in canada so i think they have too much free time. i think it would be funnier if christian bale did the voice of batman for this commercial

[Frostman9000]

if only joker murdered robin right there....

FUCK YOU JASON TODD backsassing batman

[dxjrules5]

@Frostman9000 I actually think Jason Todd is kind of cool in a rip-off Punisher sort of way.

[MegaCrazyRobot]

After watching all of these commercials I have only one question to ask:

How in the hell do you not notice that supervillains like The Joker, Riddler, Penguin, etc. are selling you toys?!? They don't exactly blend into a crowd.

[CBright7831]

I kept hoping Joker would come back and beat Robin with a crowbar - ala Jason Todd - who the Robin in this commercial looks suspiciously like.

[runn1ng]

ouch

[KrypticAsylum]

NOBODY.

[SAGEBOT500]

This is that kind of animation where every frame is a reaction image.

[quackajack13z]

@SAGEBOT500 What's a reaction image?

[SAGEBOT500]

@quackajack13z An image that people post in reaction to some event or story. Sometimes accompanied by "my face when X happened/I heard that X happened".

[quackajack13z]

@SAGEBOT500 Oh, ok. So, you literally meant a 'reaction image'. I thought it was some technical term for something.

[VGJustice]

@SAGEBOT500 This is completely accurate. I've tested it.

[genesisproject]

Go batman! Protect those monopolies!

[MindlessExcess]

the most intense batman ever

[xPirateQueenx]

I love the Joker's Kermit the Frog-esque flailing as he skips down the street.

[RandyRacoon1]

0:20

holy vibrating forearm, Batman!

[Nemeres]

You damn sellout Batman

[LieutenantBoi]

WHALES HEAD RAMEN

[BlueRushMan]

WELL SAID ROBIN

[CamoKiid]

THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING ADVERT! so well detailed plus i like the way batman moves his jaw, also its from 1987!

[WarriorBoy]

Why the fuck is Batman psuedo-British?

[kelpokelp]

protected by *swinging freaking heavy with finger*

[whiteboycracker]

I thought he said "drop your pants joker!"

[RyvernRaigon]

WELL SAID ROBIN!

[IceCreamManOnFire]

the jokers laugh is catchy

[IAMTHECAPSGODLOL]

Its not a laughing matter

[Byakuya234567]

WELL SAID ROBIN

[MistrNeb]

The fucking animation is awesome. I love the way his lips move when he says "WELL SAID ROBIN"

[Raverque]

gotta love Batmans over dramatic talk :D

[PeaBraine]

wtf?! haha! XD

[zero0teen]

yeah the animation is good, but their mouths are completely ridiculous

[FeanorBR]

And by ridiculous, you certanly mean AWESOME, right?

[Radculas]

love the animation

it looks sooo smooth

[Radculas]

joker flails his limbs heck fast that was sooo funny

[shadowofbat]

Two words: phenomenal animation!

[DaddyWalrusguy]

the hell..?

[Yabuturtle]

lol I cracked up the entire time, especially with the way The Joker ran away. XD And I have to admit that this animation is VERY impressive! I wish they made animation like this these days!

[RaveKraver]

I don't know anything about Zeller BUT, I do with that the batman cartoon (Batman: The Animated Series) had been animated like this.

[baconlabs]

You have to be kidding me! They re-used the same animations for EVERY Zellers Batman commercial?

I swear the lip sync for "It's not a laughing matter, Robin" was identical to "I smell a cat, Robin."

[CyberLance26]

Theres a commercial like this with Catwoman too?

I saw the ones with Penguin and Riddler but not Catwoman.

[Zelkiiro]

Nope, the lip sync is right on.

What they do for multiple usage of the same animation with different dialogue is that they animate the base part first, and then they customize lip sync and such afterwards for each commercial.

[oOiiPlayMSOo]

*FACEDESK* Too sell-out superfriends. tst.

[PatriotsoftheGuns]

This is probably the best animation I've ever seen...

[Oblivionfolk]

among other things fucked up with this commercial, why does joker's laugh sound like a baby crying? and when he runs away, the sound he makes, it sounds like the most annoying thing in the world from dumb and dumber. :O

[emonerd826]

WELL SAID ROBIN.

[SimuRei]

Wow, Batman's mouth is huge in this.

[teckwerks]

Nice, smooth animation. I wish cartoons nowadays were as high quality~

[TiniestViolin]

SWEET MERCIFUL GOD. The Joker just sold those folks some overpriced toys! That bastard! This is truly his greatest crime.

[SteelWool91]

HOLY SHENANIGANS BATMAN

[TESOblivion4]

what a sellout

[Shotgunner56]

The way joker runs off, priceless

It would be even funnier if he yelled "I DO COCAINE" as he flailed off, lol

[Zelkiiro]

This commercial kicks ass.

[robanah]

Boy, was that ever cheesy!

[jedisociety]

omg joker just fled away

[bluemar00n]

batman has a glorious chin

[emonerd826]

omg, how dare the joker jack up our toy prices. thats pure evil!

[ZombiezRCool]

i absoutly love the animation in this ,,,,

[SilentRussell]

I'd watch a lot more batman if it were animated like this.

[Muffinmanv2]

MY FATHERS DEAD!!

[warrock123456789]

WELL SAID ROBIN

[jaranu]

This is awesome.

[PaniPoniTenshi]

0:20 - Customers mah boi!!

[emonerd826]

more like at 0:07

[AzukaraMegaDriver]

I don't know what that was.... but it was awesome.

[whiskycopter]

Why does Batman sound strangely like Sean Connery?

[zackishcraser]

Does he?

I can't tell.

[zackishcraser]

holy one liner batman!

[Awesomegame17]

This isn't a laughing matter Robin!

[Asdf64akaMcBlack]

IT'S NOT A LAUGHING MATTER, ROBIN

[ZemsEms]

HOLY ONE-LINER BATMAN

[Hewylewis]

Their using Caesar Romero's laugh recording as the Joker!

[chicar556]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH MY EYES!!!! this mouth animations are horrible.

[BadBananaCorp]

what do you mean there awesome!

[vazqjose]

this was WAY ahead of its time! wow!

[Clay3613]

This is the closest you'll ever come to watching a comic book accurate cartoon, the characters are dead ringers of their comic book selves from the early 80's

[Bobzeaux]

...Weird. O_O

Any idea who directed this?

[henkman00]

......huh.

no idea whats going on XD

[PukaMan]

Goddam, you could market batman's finger as a cake mixer at 0:20, holy shit!

[PukaMan]

inb4 or a vibrator

[Pageboy72]

...what year did Zellers go out of business...?

[crazedlex66]

They're still in business, they are a Canadian company. They dropped the line "where the lowest price is the law" once Walmart came to Canada.

[whiskycopter]

It's still around.

[Josh050302]

Clerely the art style was derived from Brian Bolland, the artist who illustrated "The Killing Joke."

[Vorscythe]

Batmans jaw has a mind of its own. If you articulated your muscles like that in real life, people would think you were having a stroke.

[chaosgammaray18]

Just look at Batman's jaw, holy crap thats funny.

[Goatmon]

I showed my nieces this. I paused it at Batman's last line at the end after Robin plugs the store, and kept skipping ahead frame by frame, and Batman made one hilarious face after another.

[Clifftothemax]

Man, it's a shame the ad is so damn cheesy, because the animation looks GOOD (aside from Batman's OTT expressions).

And the Joker just running away; freakin' priceless.

[DarkPieman]

I thought the OTT expressions would've looked good on an OTT character like Joker or something, but not freakin' Batman.

[pouzer2000]

the animation looks awesome.

[PissoPuyo]

Their mouths.

God, someone tell me what's wrong with their mouths.

[skikkiks]

WELL SAID ROBIN!

[ideomaniacal]

Joker is like: "Today's scheme is...OVER CHARGING INNOCENT CITIZENS FOR THEIR TOYS!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!"

Ahahahahahah! The way he runs is just comical too! XD

[STOOPIDDUMBY]

I love how Joker just runs away

[tjmaier45806]

The animation is sick!!!! I would love to see this made into a cartoon series, well maybe with different voices(Kevin Conroy), and a bad ass up to date story line along with some violence and swearing! Maybe a movie too!

[Boogidyboo]

LOOKS KINDA PENIS

[SargentMugen]

WHO'S BATMAN'S VOICE?!

"It's not a LAUGHING matter Robin!"

[Ash2k4]

This is so well animated. I know they don't do it these day because of budget and all but man, that would be awesome.

[rickt80]

love it i'm an 80's addict.

[mipeltaja]

Man, I LOVE the way this is animated.

[CleaveTheDragon]

That's all it take to defeat the Joker?

[Baronvontrap]

this is the best commercial ever. Joker's arm flail, is on a whole other level of flailing your arms.

[bobmaster321]

Robins corny one liners: "HOLY ONE LINER BATMAN"

cost:Priceless

[briberry]

OMG Joker is doing the Kermit arm flail WHEEE!!

[upsidedowni]

batman's jaw seems to be dislocated? haha

[HarryPartridge]

I love Batsy's giant quivering index finger of justice

[wiireview123]

STRIVE FOR

[Bobo8992]

0:07

MAH BOY

[goodbyetoradio]

I remember seeing these as a kid. The animation is great! It's too bad the voices are so bad; Batman sounds like the Red Chin. Though I like the exaggerated style used in the cartoons today, it would be nice if they brought this back.

[floydian15]

yes its the best style ever how are these series called

[kitkatkitchen]

robin wasn't laughing D:

also 0:14 is so DRAMATIC

[kitkatkitchen]

i love how jokor ran down the street flailing his arms

and batman's mouth was waaaayyy too big and scary

GOOD ANIMATION THO

[broadwaybound6230]

Holy awesome animation, Batman! This looks like David Gibbons and Brian Bolland's art had a love child, and then it was put into motion. Too bad the advertisement and voice acting suck so much. D:

And lol at Joker running.

[LouisR79]

The animation it pretty dam good, and I never heard of Zellers......?

[goodbyetoradio]

It's a department store in Canada kind of like a smaller version of Wal-Mart

[YoshiAngemon]

Joker's laugh is from the 60s Batman Series, as portrayed by Cesar Romero.

[deknaj]

@YoshiAngemon They actually did the same thing in the Riddler and Penguin commercials with Burgess Meredith and Frank Gorshin

[almightyjoey]

i lol'd. Kinda sad how amazing the animation is in quality, and how terrible the advert itself is.

[chrisfischerxxx]

it almost looks like the "killing joke"

[plaparen]

Which is quite insane by itself.

[glitchbreaker]

If only the batman cartoons were this high in animation quality, people woulds actually watch!

[MIsguidedarCHAngEL]

I find it depressing that animation from 21 years ago IN AN ADVERTISEMENT no less is better quality than nearly all present shows today.

[VALENTINEproductions]

OMG. Ive never seen this! Damn the animation is really good, but its just so stupid.

[antz32]

batman's lower jaw is disconnected from the skull and looks like it's about to fall off whenever batman talks. great animation though.

[Pspimp]

Geez, you just made me shoot snot out of my nose. That was hilarious.

[TBotAlpha]

HOLY ONE LINER BATMAN

[MasteroninXIII]

IT'S NOT A LAUGHING MATTER ROBIN
