Rick and Morty are nothing but a bunch of sellouts. They sold out to Old Spice, and Rick has no shame about it. None at all. But I’m not mad. I’m just happy we have a tiny Rick and Morty fix because we are in for a long wait for the next season. This hilarious Old Spice commercial for their “invisible spray” gives us that fix. You’ll enjoy this ad despite the fact that they sold out.

Check out this new X-Men themed television commercial for “Sky Fibre”. It’s pretty fun to see all of these mutants getting along and hanging out. And of course, Quicksilver is up to his old tricks. Sky Fibre is even faster than he is. Or is it?
Some of you might remember this advertising campaign from 1985 when Japanese electronics company Pioneer hired H.R. Giger for an advertising campaign to promote the company’s new Zone system. They even made a television commercial that features one of Giger’s creatures. There were also two print advertisements.
I don’t know about you, but advertisements that feature Giger’s work certainly get my attention. This will either make you buy a Pioneer product or make you feel terrified. Maybe both.

The 70s were a strange time. Don’t believe me? Just have a look at this 1978 commercial for Rainier Beer that pays homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars and Flash Gordon. It even stars the original Flash, Buster Crabbe, as “Fresh Gordon.” It’s pretty wild. They basically ripped off everything they could and put it all into one commercial.

When computers were new and people could actually afford them, computer companies were getting all kinds of famous faces to hawk their wares. And computer makers had to show us what we could do with computers. This led to some famous people starring in some silly commercials.
Below are two of my favorites. One starring William Shatner, the other series starring Tom Baker and Lala Ward as the Doctor and Romana. The latter has all kinds of vintage charm.
