Seth Green’s commercial is very \Mallrats\-ish, isn’t it?

And that’s what girls like. Idiots in the mall firing Nerf balls at them.

I read somewhere ( an Uncle John’s bathroom reader, I believe) that Willis was a recovering alcoholic after that commercial. I believe the same thing happened to Eric Clapton with Budweiser.

Jack Black was in a commercial for the old Atari game Pitfall.

Phil Hartman’s screen debut was a commercial for Hockey for Atari.

My personal favorite is a commercial for Sega’s old Game Gear system. The chubby kid who beats himself in the head with a dead squirrel to see his games in color? None other than My Name is Earl’s Ethan Suplee.

This made my day. Is it just me, or did commercials seem WAY cheesier back in the day?

That blissed out face Keanu Reeves makes at the end of his commercial sent me into hysterics, and the entire Nerf commercial (the hair, the “babe alert!” vocabulary) was just priceless.

Great stuff — but almost nothing beats Christian Bale’s Ms. Pacman cereal commercial.

Concur with Sarah and bzzyb.

Willis was already known. However he was trying to get his vocal/harmonic talents recognized so he could start releasing albums like “The Return of Bruno.” He also performed on Letterman.

Delightful! Loved the bag phone in the Affleck ad, and lil’ Leo was quite a cutie! I think my favorite was the Nerf ad though. I don’t remember it precisely, but so many like it on Nickelodeon when I was younger. The lopsided hair, the “babe alert” and a random mime for good measure–definitely a thing of beauty. Just remember boys, there’s nothing the “babes” love more than getting hit in the head with a nerf projectile. Life lessons, right there.
