Barbie Bedtime Fun Kelly TV ad commercial, circa 1996

This is one of many children-targeted commercials I pulled out of a VHS tape I found off the street.

Wow! thanks for posting this! I haven't seen this commercial since the doll's release! I wanted her so bad, but got the Bathtime one instead :( lol

@EmmasAngel07 No problem. Old commercials are always quite fascinating cultural relics and memory triggers, eh?

[EmmasAngel07]

@abstractephemera indeed! I sometimes spend hours on youtube searching for old commercials from my youth! LOL

[abstractephemera]

@EmmasAngel07 I presume in your searches you have come across Retrontario? This guy is always coming across and uploading vintage commercials.

was this from canada or something? or was the ad redone? b/c the ad i remember was for the same product only that doll was marketed as "Baby Sister Kelly"

@Cuttiecookiecupcake no it wasn't my mom who got me the Kelly doll. A nieghbor wanted to know what I wanted for my birthday and my mom told them I wanted a Kelly doll, but didn't specify which one. lol

Hey, wasn't this recycled off the original "Baby Sister Kelly" ad?

[TheRaspberryHoney]

I had this Barbie...she was a lesbian :). She and dentist Barbie had a torrid love affair that everybody knew of and accepted it....Kelly was their daughter...well, she was actually Kim's (dentist Barbie) daughter and Erika (this Barbie) was the occasional babysitter who ends up falling in love with her single mom boss :) I swear! I did it because I had like 100 Barbies and probably 6 or 7 Kens..and no one should live without love! My mom nearly died when she noticed! Ahh good times..
