Retro Commercials--What's the Attraction?

[wwfpooh]

I'm very suspicious of the idea that things need to change with the times because that's what people want. Time again it seems to me people prove that they do enjoy older things and aren't demanding anything changed. It's the companies that seem to have this impression of people.

That's the thing...People in general dislike change, but management says people want it, simply because--I think--maybe management realizes that change is the sole constant in this messed up thing called life.

I think management doesn't always want to admit some of the best work has already been done. Instead of being inspired by it, they try completely wiping it from memory. As a result, the entertainment goes down in quality.

There's that too, but I don't think every person in management is a selfish prude.

The Worst Retromecial for Jell-O!

Yup! If it's anything that can bring together Allied POW's and lovable cartoonish Nazis together it's JELLO...

Thought, since none of your jello adds contain Bill Cosby, I'm gonna have to give you a C.

C for Cosby, that is

I almost thought you were about to say C is for...(the obvious answer)...Cookie.

Irregardless it's a stupid commercial.

"Irregardless" is not a real word.

I know, he's making fun of me because I'm one of the few people in the world who actually appreciate the laugh track, and here I am saying a commercial with a laugh track is a terrible commercial.

Well no. I just think it's ridiculous for a commercial to actually have a laugh track. Nothing against you're personal preference there.

Yeah, I see what you mean, heh!

Or in his Street sketches. I mean, he almost pelts Elmo...twice!
