#FanFilm Friday - Don Cheadle is Captain Planet

Let's start the day with an epic adaptation beyond words!

Captain Planet: The Movie! Starring none other than "War Machine" Don Cheadle as the eco-friendly hero....
(and also Gillian Jacobs from Community!)

Don Cheadle is Captain Planet from Don Cheadle     

He seems to be having fun playing it like a crazy "Iron Man"-like character (those blasts!!). 

"Don Cheadle is obviously the best person to play Captain Planet in the movie version of the popular cartoon, hopefully they make his character a nicer guy."

#MusicBOX - Turg A Capella - "Pinky and the Brain"

Time for some acapella!
Today's subject, Turg A Capella's take on the music opening of the ol' 90s classic cartoon Pinky and the Brain! Narf!



Amazing stuff~
I could listen to this all day!

#BestOf Histeria! - "Trust Buster"

We all know Warner Bros. 90s cartoons such as the DC animated series, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs or even Freakazoid.
But one series that is barely mentioned nowadays is Histeria!, which aired from 1998 to 2000.
The last from the WB animation studios' renaissance.

Here's a little song, by Theodore Roosevelt, which is actually a Ghostbusters parody.
Enjoy!

#Ad - Pepsiman Commercials compilation

Remember Pepsiman ?

This guy on youtube made this following compilation of all of Persiman's legendary Japanese ads!
Check it out! Well worth your time!



Even if I'm sure lots of you guys reading this blog know about Pepsiman, how many knew there was also a Persiwoman??

Gotta love 90s mascots^^
From games, to companies and products! They had this "fun charm" long lost in today's companies' image.

PSA - The More You Know (1992)

Here's Michael Richards, Kramer from Seinfeld, in one of NBC's classic "The More You Know" PSAs.



Okay, I guess...

BestOf NewsRadio - Jerry Seinfeld Interview

I loved NewsRadio.
Great show from the 90s.

Anyways, here's a great lil' cameo by Seinfeld from one episode.
Where Bill McNeal tries to score an interview with him for his show "The Real Deal with Bill McNeal".
Enjoy,

Ad - Michael Richards in a Pepsi commercial 2

Here's another pretty random Pepsi ad with Michael Richards!

From 1994:



Giddy Up!~

BestScenes from the SNL - "Livin' In A Van Down By The River"

Here's a little segment from the Saturday Night Live.

Featuring none other than Chris Farley.
One of my all-time favorite comedians, the king of funny expressions and modern slapstick. (yeah, Farley, not Jim Carrey, imo!)
Chris Farley died too soon... RIP Chris! :(

Anyways,
his Matt Foley segments were amongst the funniest material SNL ever produced.

Here's his whole original Motivational Speaker, in its entire run:



Hilarious!

ComicPageOfTheWeekend: you don't see this everyday

AwesomeScens from Family Matters - Steve Urkel plays basketball

Family Matters.
That's the whole memory of the 90s for me!
Good times, great show.

Now that's one example of a show I preferred AFTER it "jumped the shark".
I mean when it became all about Urkel and his shenanigans...now that's what I wanted to see more than the actual "family matters".

"Don't do drugs!" "Kids shouldn't carry weapons" "Take care of your loved ones"... Hey. stop that, look next door, Steve opened a wormhole to the 18th century Europe!! Mecha-Clones running amok in the streets!! Woah!

Anyways, here's an earlier scene from the show, when Steve played basketball...



Ha. That last bit about marrying Steve :P
Kinda ironic when you think about the end of the show XD

Laura cheerleading was a bit silly, but Steven and the epicness of that scene sure made that episode!

AwesomeScenes from Lois & Clark - The "You Know, I Know" conversation

Lois & Clark was a great Superman show in the 90s.
In my opinion, much better and fun than the over-brooding and seriousness-overload of Smallville.

Here's one of my all-time favorite scenes from this great show.
Little background here: Lois & Clark were asked to Perry White's office. To discuss "that thing".
Both think the chief knows about the whole Clark/Kal-El situation while Perry is talking about some secret reportage he thinks they're doing...


From Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman [1995].

Now, that's some awesome dialogue or what?! XD

Christopher Reeves might be my favorite Clark Kent/Superman of all time, but Lane Smith will always be the perfect Perry White in my eyes!

PSA - "This Is Your Brain on Drugs"

Here's another classic anti-drugs PSA.
From 1998.

This one is quite well burned forever on my mind (and many others), because it features a lovely Rachael Leigh Cook (Josie & the Pussycats, Get Carter, Batman Beyond, She's All That,..) going crazy on a poor and innocent kitchen.

Blame it on crack.



I still find her pretty gorgeous in this one to this very day~ <3
This PSA made quite a sensation back in the day, everyone heard and talked about it.
Now that's how you make people listen to your public announcements, heh Pee-Wee?

This cult famous video was directed by Eden Tyler and written by Ken Cills and Doug Hill.

Stand-up - Seth Rogen

Here's a different stand-up from the usual bunch.
This one's Seth Rogen, and actually from 1996, from Rogen's humble beginnings.
He sure changed quite a bit since then, but you can already sort of guess how's he gonna be like/how his humor's gonna evolve.

Enjoy!



He was actually 14 here.
Which is pretty impressive in itself, imagine doing a stand-up comedy routine in front of an audience at that age!

Ad - Kit Kat commercial #06 (1991)

The last one, I promise!
The most awkward/weird one for the last.



Yeah, because kids will wanna eat chocolate from watching these sportsmen singing awkwardly, without flexing a muscle/standing still... °__°

Ad - Kit Kat commercial #05 (1991)

Wanna listen to the whole song finally?
Enjoy it, with lyrics, right here:



"..Break me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!~"
I can't just have enough of this catchy tune! :P

Ad - Kit Kat commercial #04 (1994)

This one is easily the funniest.



Too bad I haven't been able to find it on good quality :(
(there's a shorter but cleaner version on youtube though)

Ad - Kit Kat commercial #03

This one's probably my favorite, both in the visual and music :P



Bwahaha!
Good times!
Back when we didn't need "subtle" or "ironic" overtones. (<- just check out their latest modern commercials!)

Ad - Kit Kat commercial #02 (1995)

Giimme a break from the 2000s, here's another piece straight from the 90s!



Enjoy! :'3

Ad - Kit Kat commercial #01

Remember when advertisements were fun?
Here's easily one of the catchiest chocolate ads tunes!

"Gimme a break.Gimme a break! Break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat-bar!"~
