This is a 1992 commercial for the latest and greatest in spreadsheet applications: Microsoft Excel. In the ad, a businessdude makes a super shitty 4 x 4 spreadsheet on what appears to be the world’s first laptop that blows everybody’s minds and saves the day. Full disclosure: I hate, and

This is a 1985 commercial for the all new size Chevy Astro Van, back when minivans were still megafun and not just sad boxes to tote your screaming tykes around in. They really need to start making commercials like this again, because I’d buy whatever they’re selling. The 30-second ad

This is some behind-the-scenes footage from an Esurance commercial starring a couple on a roller coaster, and the guy clearly isn’t a big fan of roller coasters (a person working on the commercial said it was actually one of his greatest fears). You’d never be able to tell from the

This is an Uber Eats commercial starring bat-wielding Mark Hamill and Patrick Stewart arguing over what they’re going to have for dinner like everybody has to eat the same thing or somebody gets brained, followed by a bit of awkward miscommunication. Honestly, if I were Uber this is not how
