I'm looking for the one where some random lady asks "does this come with auto reverse?" and she makes some lame hand gesture as she asks. I found that unusually hilarious as a kid. I'm also looking for the one where he is on a park bench dressed up like the old pervert on <u>Laugh-In</b> and asks "Wanna see my woofer and tweeter?"

I'm looking in to this a little, although I don't know those. There's only more than a 1,000 federated commercials total! :)

number 9? what do you mean? There is a "psycho fred" commercial on this, but not the one where shadoe runs up the stairs and gets hit in the head by a dangling bulb. Does anyone have this for upload?

[orion1052003]

Man I wish I could get just that. That would be fun.

[orion1052003]

compilation some years back from the old betamax tapes. I was really wondering where I could get more of these clips, as he doesn't have them. Perhaps some people out there have old VHS tapes with more of these great commercials on them. There are over 1,000 different commercials in all. I actually want to see all of them. !

I got it from the man himself to be honest. I interviewed him once and he gave me that. However, I don't know where to post the audio interview on the web! It's over an hour long. He did the Best of Fred

These commercials in between Elvira Mistress of the Dark episodes made for some memorable T.V.

Gotta wonder if Fred Rated ever influenced Paul Thomas Anderson's oeuvre of 70s/80s Southern California?

1 of the commercials I remember(& is my favorite from Federated)was shown back in late 1984 thru '85,after the movie theatre release,"The Terminator".It shows "Fred" pointing to a tv and says,"get this tv now or he'll say",(standing next to Fred is an impersonator wearing a black leather jacket & sunglasses looking like the cyborg model 101 played by "Arnold")

..."I'll be back".

these commercials must of been a riot for people watching this on lsd in the 80s.

Thanks for sharing these, orion. Great stuff! I know you've got quite a few of these but was wondering if the rap video is in one of these collections.

You Kalifoney hippies are krazy, we had these Fred Rated commercials in Houston in the mid 80.

[Skulldini]

THESE are absolutely the most insane and eratic comercials that I have evr fucking seen !!

@MrDefaulto Since when was was a analog 13" color TV "new tech" in 1980? My point is that $200 in 1980 dollars was comparable to about $600 or more in today's dollars.

[MrDefaulto]

What are you talking about, it costs more than $200 for a 13" LCD TV now. Blu-ray players were $1000 just a couple of years ago and Plasmas were $10,000 about 5 years ago.. New Tech is always expensive.
