giantmag.com — Seems that Giant magazine forgot more than a few entries when they compiled their list of the 50 top commercials of the 1980's. After a lot of user submissions, they present the 50 most requested (and missing) ads!

300 baud was an upgrade for me, I had to write down the 1's and 0's on a huge magnetic board, and then soak it in depleted uranium before letting it cure overnight and then finally building a computer from scratch on top of it. All that just to play Oregon Trail.

Why doesn't iTunes have a section called Commercials, which lets people download commercials for free? I'm always trying to describe a funny commercial to a friend.

I was always confused by the lyrics. It sounded like they were saying, "it chews a saw to get right to you." I still have no idea what that line is.

"It?s amazing that the sight of a man having a heart attack or a sweet old woman lying immobile and probably horribly injured on the floor could provoke such peals of laughter. Not convinced you?re going to Hell someday? Watch this ad and laugh your ass off."So true! It's strange; in real life, of course, I'd be all "OMG are you all right?" if I saw those happen, but something about the classic LifeCall ad just rings so Pythonesque...

FTA: "27. Stroh’s Light beerWhy does Stroh’s beer not exist anymore? Could it be because they used Fidel Castro as their spokesman, or because they advertise their beer as being “fire brewed”? Kind of a toss-up."Stroh's doesn't exist anymore? Funny, I remember having a Stroh's at a bar this past weekend.

Mr Microphone at #50 is the best, it shows all that is crap from the 80s in terms of product and marketing. Classic!
