Great Christmas Kellogs there, now that was a fantastic crossover :scaq:

Now you seen West County in My region. Well, I just found this recently, an original commercial that was from South County way back in the 90s. South County Mall was so fun, just as fun as Crestwood. I have very good memories there. Goedeker's, K-Mart, Venture and the Wehrenberg Dollar Theater was right across the street. Best Buy still is and TRU & Toy Chest was a bit further down. South County Mall had a ton of stores including a great Kay-Bee Toys, gosh those were such good times and I miss them a lot. This is for West County & Mid Rivers Mall so with that being said, here's this 1990s South & West County & Mid Rivers Mall Christmas Holiday commercial :scbat: :scww: :scsm: :schal: :scmm: :scbaf: :blaq:



I'm going to see if I can find anymore of these greats soon :)

Now that is a great Sega Genesis Christmas Commercial. That was around time when Sega was being known, sold & rented Nation wide. Here's this one from Blockbuster Video. Check this out. This is from 1993. Watch Santa as he plays Sega Genesis :scbat: I never played Rock and Roll Racing for the SNES. However, remember when I revealed that I played in real live, in person tournaments at My local Blockbuster Video in Holly Hills :?: Well, Interplay's Clay Fighter was one of the those games I participated in. As I said, before, I've never been one to be a watcher or spectator, I'm player :!: It was nothing like 1989's The Wizard but it was indeed competition :shock: I recall it like as yesterday. I usually played as Bad Mr. Frosty so I chose him, he's kinda like Scorpion in Mortal Kombat for Me. I came in #3 and got a couple free rentals. Even though I lost, it was fun during these good days. I'm still trying to find My Chart that I took home from Blockbuster, hopefully I'll find it soon. Anyway, here's this Blockbuster Video Holiday Commercial featuring Clay Fighter :scbat: :scww: :scsm: :scmm: :schal: :scbaf: :scaq: :blaq:

In another 20 years people are going to look at you like a crazy person when you try to explain to them that back in the day you had to drive to a store to "rent" a movie to watch at home, and that Netflix started out as a rent by mail video company.

That was a wonderful Avon there :scww: I know, it's so depressing :roll: I talk about My rental experiences & great places when I was younger, the people I knew and I get sad about that a lot...well to think that this generation today and their kids won't even know what a video rental place was and that there was such a time to rent movies & video games is extremely melancholy :roll: When Me & My Mom watches new movies and even older ones, Sci-Fi or not, We're always saying how the future is and that these characters know nothing of the past. Like in Star Trek, very few people actually knows what Classical Music is besides Pichard. We just watched a movie the other day and the people of the future didn't even know what Sumerian is :shock: I knew what Sumeria was thanks to Ghostbusters :blbat: :blww: :blww: Also, in Ghostbusters: Afterlife...the kids didn't know a thing about the Ghostbusters and what happen in New York, not even Egon's Granddaughter because his daughter...her mother "didn't want to talk about it" :batsmh: :wwsmh: :smsmh: I always think about what their putting in movies and everyday I think how bleak the future looks and movie rental stuff is only a small sample of it :roll: Oh yeah, thanks to Netflix & Red Box, when they started that's when Blockbuster & Hollywood Video went under :x I'll talk more about Ghostbusters: Afterlife in time.

Okay, here's another great Blockbuster Video Commercial for Christmas 1993. It's similar like the other one but with different SNES games :scbat:



I'll have couple of Blockbusters to go :scww:

That was great Christmas McDonald's from the 70s, even good then :scbat: :scww: :scsm:

Here's this great Hardee's from 1984, 40 years ago this year :shock: It features Disney. I recall this a lot. I got these Plushes and I believe i still have'em, they might be with My Hardee's Pound Puppies wherever they heck they are. Hardee's was really good during these years. Here's the commercial :scmm: :schal:
