I was a big TV watcher back in the 90s when I was a kid. This was obviously before iPads, Netflix and shit so I had to sit through 3-4 minutes of ads every 15 minutes or so.

Out of nowhere I remembered this Charles Barkley ad from when I was like 8-9 and haven't been able to get it out of my head. Kind weird in hindsight - a mini-opera for a pair of fucking Nikes!?

This was one that was huge in Australia when I was about 8. No way an ad like that would fly today (Thanks Obama, amirite???)

Another Yellow Pages one. This ad actually spawned the expression "Not happy Jan" here in Oz, which ppl say when something wasn't to their liking.
