Video Game Magazine Ads: Crude, Lewd, and Edgy Devnul 2022-05-13 | Support me on Patreon! ► patreon.com/devnul Twitter ► twitter.com/therealdevnulInstagram ► instagram.com/therealdevnulVideo game magazine ads were truly bizarre in the 90s and early 2000s. They were crude, lewd, and edgy. During this era there were tons of popular video game magazines: Nintendo Power, Computer Gaming World, Electronic Gaming Monthly, Playstation Magazine, just to name a few, all competing to sell you the new Sega Saturn, latest Nintendo 64 game, or popular Playstation hit. To nobody's surprise, these magazines were plastered all over with video game print ads. But this is the 90s, baby! We gotta have some radical attitude and edgy humor to sell our games! How offensive were these ads exactly? Were they truly offensive video game commercials? Well, stop reading this description box and watch the video and find out! (Also if you're wondering why these descriptions always read like they were written by a bot, it's to get some of that sweet SEO action.)
The Story of Quiznos SPONGMONKEYS — Cursed Commercials Devnul 2022-01-27 | Support me on Patreon! ► patreon.com/devnulTwitter ► twitter.com/therealdevnulInstagram ► instagram.com/therealdevnul In 2004, Quiznos created a series of commercials starring little creatures called the Spongmonkeys. Today we take a deep dive into the story of the Spongmonkeys, one of the weirdest commercials in the history of weird commercials. We will hear the story straight from their creator, Joel Veitch of rathergood, as he retells how this bizarre animation was ripped from his drunken psyche and originally turned into a flash animation called "We Like the Moon" before becoming the cursed commercial we know today. Known to some as the "Quiznos rat commercial", or the "Quiznos hamster commercial" (the species of these fuzzy little freaks is still unclear) this weird ad has seared itself into the collective subconscious of an entire generation of Americans. It's about time we talked about it.

Little did they know that their berries and cream commercial and the legendary character known only as the Little Lad would echo through history. The Little Lad and his Little Lad Dance became a Tik Tok sensation fourteen years later in the year 2021. The Little Lad commercial has now become more popular than ever.

Did Pop Tarts RIP OFF Don Hertzfeldt & REJECTED? Devnul 2021-06-23 | Support me on Patreon! ► patreon.com/devnulTwitter ► twitter.com/therealdevnulInstagram ► instagram.com/therealdevnulThe Pop Tarts Crazy Good campaign premiered in 2004. At the time, I actually thought that the creator of REJECTED, Don Hertzfeldt, was responsible for those commercials. You know, REJECTED? That's the one with such immortal phrases as "My spoon is too big" and "My anus is bleeding." It turns out that he had nothing to do with these Pop Tarts commercials! There are no Don Hertzfeldt Pop Tarts commercials, just some funny rip-offs developed by an ad agency! Today we take a deep dive into Oscar nominated animator Don Hertzfeldt and the Pop Tarts ads that took more than a little inspiration from his work.
