Dragon's Dogma 2, the highly anticipated successor to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma,
is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Steam.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a third-person action RPG boasting a richly detailed and deeply
explorable fantasy world created using Capcom's RE Engine's immersive physics,
groundbreaking character AI systems, and cutting-edge graphics.
Dive into the vast and dynamic world where The Arisen is called upon to fulfill a forgotten
destiny across the nations of Vermont, the Kingdom of Humanity, and Batal, the nation
of Beastrin.
Dragon's Dogma 2 revolves entirely around choice.
Your choice, that is.
From the sword and shield-wielding fighter to fighter to the illusion conjuring trickster, there are over 10 unique vocations to choose from that all require experience to unlock new skills.
And character customization is out of this world, literally. Oh, and did I mention the combat is
really in-depth? It isn't just hacking at a giant's ankle for half an hour while your dodge
roll attacks. You can engage enemies from a distance, climb up large foes, stab them in their weak points,
use the terrain and trick, trip,
or throw foes off high cliffs or raging waters.
Visit dragonsdogma.com to buy the game
and start your epic quest today.
That's D-R-A-G-O-N-S-D-O-G-M-A.com to learn more.
And action.
I thought we were already in action.
Gavin, this is your idea.
Hello and welcome to the face childhood Face Childhood Ads Draft.
This one was my suggestion.
It's the only one I've been responsible for.
Hello.
Do you think that puts pressure on you, Gavin?
Shot out of a cannon.
Do you feel any intensity
that you have to perform well?
Because this was your idea.
You got a bunch of bullshit ads.
Why did you do this?
Do you not have ads that you watched as a kid
that have been burned into your memory
for several decades?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, I feel like we've all got some of those.
Perfect for a draft.
This was probably harder to narrow down
than my favorite mall stores.
There's a lot of childhood ads out there.
I found this almost as difficult as the crisps.
Yeah.
Really?
Crisp was hard too.
Can you explain how the draft works, Gavin?
The pool is ads.
Okay.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Ads specifically to each of our own childhoods.
Well, we might have shared a childhood ad.
That's true.
That's why it's a draft.
You grew up in a different nation.
Andrew grew up in a different nation.
Jeff grew up in a different decade.
So you're right.
Me and Nick might have some childhood ads that overlap each other.
I'm going to be so fucking confused if Gavin or Andrew picks one of my ads.
I assumed I couldn't pick out of my own childhood that I couldn't just go crazy and pick
someone else's childhood ad that was popular
also when is the
cutoff for childhood I had a real dilemma where there
was an ad I thought of but I was 13
when it came out I'll be honest
some of mine are from the 2000s
when I was born in the 80s so I think
a childhood ad goes until you get a
driver's license well that's
fuck for Gavin I saw it yesterday.
That was
I'm sorry. Until the average
average person is
still a child.
I'm glad we all agree on that.
Anyway, let's figure out
who goes first.
Do you want to explain how we figure out who goes
first? So we're randomizing.
Gavin. Eric is currently typing names into a randomizer,
and that will determine the list.
It's a snake draft, everyone.
It's a snake.
How many times are we going to...
How many randoms are we going to do?
Last time we did a few.
We did five last time.
We should do at least five.
Five.
Okay, five randoms.
And four ads each, yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Excellent. Perfect. Excellent.
Perfect.
Here's one random.
It is Jeff, Nick, Eric, Andrew, Gavin.
Second random.
Nick, Gavin, Jeff, Eric, Andrew.
I want to be in the back.
I want to be five.
Third random.
Jeff, Gavin, Nick, Eric, Andrew.
Oh, maintain.
Fourth. Jeff, Gavin, Nick, Eric, Andrew. Oh, maintain. Fourth.
Jeff, Gavin, Andrew, Eric, Nick.
That only changed the last three.
I will call this, this is classic order.
Gagayan.
That is classic.
That's classic.
Classic Gagayan.
And now our fifth and final random.
What if it's an egg?
Back, back, back, back.
Andrew, Jeff, Gavin, Eric, Nick.
No, that's the opposite.
I've still not won
two of these in a row.
Fuck.
Damn, Andrew.
All right, well,
pressure's on you, buddy.
Yeah, that, yeah.
Well, you know what?
Actually, I do.
I like I have the swing
on the back end.
I'm gonna start it out.
I think I got a banger.
I think I got a strong first add.
And then it's gonna be quiet
for a while.
Oh, if you are, if you're listening to this, by the way,
you can go on the F*** Face YouTube channel
and we'll have all these ads posted along
so they'll be in a video version.
We'll have all these ads as well.
Yeah, our drafts are typically better in video.
So we're going to post the actual ads in the video?
Yeah, I'm not worried about it because it's a commercial.
I'm not worried about it either.
Let's fucking do it, baby.
That's awesome.
Okay.
Ask forgiveness later.
Okay, so do I talk about it now
or do I wait until later?
Yeah, I would give a little intro for it
and then Eric can press play.
So this was a dairy farm ad
that played continuously during my childhood.
They attempted to try to make milk cool to the kids in like late 90s early 2000s.
This is the milk wrap. Look out for a time-traveling Rocco Bodie as one of the crew.
Wow!
Get ready.
I'm excited.
Okay.
Here we go.
Alright, here we go.
Oh yeah, there he is
wow
you know what you want
that's Rocco
yeah it is
they're chillin
now this was on all the time.
This is insane.
So this is Letter Kimmy.
Yeah.
Kind of, yeah.
Everybody keeps talking about.
Boy, it just keeps going, huh?
Yep.
That's the whole thing.
They really needed two verses to convey how cool it is.
Jesus Christ.
No.
That guy's making out with a cow.
I am lactose intolerant, so this was... I felt especially left out by how cool the milk was that I couldn't consume.
Yep.
That song will get stuck in my head to this day.
I will open the fridge and think straight through your bones from the farm to the fridge.
I'm imagining the fridge light hitting you in the face and you just start nodding along.
Yeah, absolutely.
I like when the milk hit the pan as a part of the beat.
Uh-huh.
It's a key part of the experience.
Man, I fear that you've set a high bar.
My childhood wasn't nearly as interesting.
I'll be honest.
I cannot believe how this relates to my first pick.
I'm so excited.
Andrew, can I ask, was that a song you guys sang at school?
No.
I don't think I ever heard it in school,
but everybody heard that song probably 10,000 more times.
Did you know all the lyrics when you were a kid?
Yeah.
Could you sing it to yourself?
Oh, yeah.
Uh-huh, 100%.
That song was probably heard more than the national anthem
if you grew up during the time.
It's constant.
Constantly sing that act.
Did Roseanne ever sing it?
I ran her out of Canada
for singing that, yeah.
Well, good first pick.
Next up, we have
Jeff. You ready, Jeff?
Yeah, let me give an intro, I guess.
When I was a kid,
this was a commercial
that played on TV a lot,
and I watched it a bunch, and I
enjoyed it. If you were a kid when I was a kid,
you did the same thing.
It became a part of the cultural zeitgeist.
All of mine, I think,
have cultural zeitgeist ties to it,
and it became spoofed on SNL
and a lot of stuff.
It's one of those commercials.
They probably made four or five of them
in the little series,
and then it was spoofed for the next 15 years.
There's no wrapping, and I feel like it's spoofed for the next 15 years. Uh,
there's no wrapping and I feel like it's going to be let down after Andrews.
Here we go.
It certainly is a big,
it's a very big,
big fluffy bun.
It's a very big fluffy.
Where's the beef?
At Wendy's. Where's the beef? Fuck! Where's the beef?
At Wendy's, we sell
a single. And Wendy's single
has more beef than the Whopper or Big Mac.
At Wendy's, you get more beef and less
bum. Hey, where's the beef?
I don't think there's anybody back there.
You want something better. You're Wendy's
kind of people.
Clara Peller. Fantastic.
That is the Where's the beef lady
she became
famous for that
for the rest of her life
did she
did she where's the beef
in other commercials
oh well
other Wendy's commercials
yeah
and then there were like
spoofs
it was in sitcoms
if it like
once where's the beef
hit the market
it became a slogan
that lasted
25 years
I like it when companies call out
other companies by name.
They shat on the Whopper and the Big Mac.
Yeah, they did.
When you say the rest of her life,
did you mean two summers?
The next 18 months that she was alive.
She was 104 when she
recorded that.
What year do you think she died?
If you had to guess.
1988. court of that what year do you think she died if you had to guess oh 1988 i'm gonna guess she died in 1996 gavin 97 no no all right bummer that was almost it's pretty good 87 so she got
oh that was got three years yeah she got three so she got three summers
wow
I wonder if that campaign
only ended
because she ended
I wonder if she kept going
probably
yeah
oh man
I never shed the planet
with a
no
no you never did
you think she ever
found the beef
oh yeah
yeah every time
she went to Wendy's
well she found it
at Wendy's
yeah
absolutely
yeah
um
okay cool
uh next up
we have Gavin
okay are you familiar
with with oor no what no oor what is oor it's what farmers say right and are you also familiar with
uh the song go west by the village people yes yes which i assume is a song about uh traveling west across the u.s
what they've done here is they've parodied it by uh advertising a rice pudding in a can called
ambrosia and instead of going west across america it's the west country of england where farmers
are known to say who who are, what are,
what,
what is that?
Is that,
are they Brummies?
Are they makes like,
what's their,
how do you call those?
They're like from Dorset.
They're from the,
like the West country.
So are they called like door doors?
Uh,
the door doors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I like this because,
uh,
one of the lines is if you like rice pud,
go ahead and play it.
And here's your commercial.
Oh, wow.
Man.
There's something uncomfortable about this.
What's wrong with his voice?
Where we say, who are?
Who are?
And the sheep go, bah!
Sana!
If you love rice, good.
Because you know it's making them, so it tastes good.
You taste all the goodness of the West Country and every spoonful of Ambrosia cream release.
Ooh-ah!
It's Ambrosia!
Ooh-ah!
It's Ambrosia!
28 weeks later?
I've had the image of a man
sat on a cow saying
Ooh-ah! It's Ambrosia!
for at least 25 years.
Burned into my mind.
Apparently we can do a milk draft
just in
childhood. Because we
in America, we had milk that does a body good. I did
not include that in my campaign. You didn't have
it's ambrosia?
No.
We had Michael Jordan with a jizz
stash going, hey man,
you can dunk my feet.
To be fair, that wasn't milk.
That was rice pud.
Yeah, and he said so.
He said specifically rice pud.
Very song-centric so far.
Yeah, I'm enjoying the parodies.
Yeah.
Mine isn't really parody,
but it is song-centric,
as I pull this over here. Mine is one that I've heard a million times really parody, but it is song centric. Uh,
as I pull this over here,
uh,
mine is one that I've heard a million times and has woken me up even more.
So,
um,
this is,
this is my simple commercial and my first pick in this draft.
Oh,
I remember this. Imagine a world where time drifts slowly.
A world where music tells you to leave.
Experience pure words.
The perfect soundtrack for your way of life.
Direct from Europe, this multi-platinum collection Oh, Crocket's theme. But be careful it's scary it's gonna get scary it's gonna get scary no other collection gives you the feeling of pure moods
somebody call the number we need to order pure moods
god damn eric that took me back man so pure pure moods for me is a it is if you were falling asleep with the tv on
the beginning of that commercial it wakes you up in a cold sweat every night 215 like i had
the exact same ad in england but maybe without as much Twin Peaks and with more Faithless,
but it was the exact same style, maybe with a different name.
But yeah, that hit me right in the brainstem.
That activated something.
Yeah.
That was a great one, Eric.
It really makes me appreciate those CD commercials.
I loved those, and that was just a really good one.
Like Freedom Rock, like those kind of things.
Yeah, like all.
I just think they're so fun.
I like this because you need those adverts to know what the songs are called because you'll never get it from hearing the song.
Except for maybe any of them.
Yep.
Man, Eric, that's a commercial like I had forgotten existed.
The second you played it, I knew every line of it.
Yep.
And I've probably seen it 10,000 times.
That's wild.
A hundred percent. Absolutely. That's wild. A hundred,
a hundred percent.
Absolutely.
Totally.
That's awesome.
Yeah,
there you go.
Okay,
well that's mine.
And here is everybody's favorite.
Nick,
the final first round pick is Nick.
I freak.
What?
Oh,
this is a great commercial.
This commercial made me afraid of not.
No,
you've got to be kidding me.
Yard work,
but let's bring it back to milk.
Okay. Alright.
Drink your milk, kids.
I don't want milk.
Milk's for babies. Yeah.
Babies. Oh yeah?
Well, I happen to know that milk helps
build strong bones. So drink up.
Well, Mr. Miller told me
he never drinks milk. Look at him.
Yeah.
Hi, Mr. Miller told me he never drinks milk. Look at him. Yeah. I can't.
Oh, my God.
It's so simple.
It's such a good one.
That's so great.
I think it might have been traumatized as a kid, man.
Was that actually on TV?
Yeah.
It's a God Milk commercial, man.
All right.
Milk farmers know what they're doing.
I don't think I've ever seen that before.
It definitely gets the message across when you're a kid that's for sure oh yeah i would be
convinced i was gonna die as someone who couldn't drink milk i'd just be like i'm fuck i'm dead
it's over but what do you um yep well that's it that's a great our first round is very milk
focused but uh it's good it's a good first round. And now we move on to our second round, and that'll be Nick.
Well, hello again.
So this one takes me back to a simpler time, as probably most of these will.
But I'll always remember Super Smash Brothers, the game, because of this particular ad.
Yep.
Great one. Awesome pick pick i love this absolutely a great pick how peaceful how nice
nick is so good at drafts. Have you guys noticed that? Yeah. Thank you.
I feel good about this one.
I remember thinking about this commercial all the time when I was a kid.
How much fun must that have been to film that?
It must have been the best, right?
Like, that commercial is awesome.
The song is such a great pick for it that everyone fighting it's
great that is a good one dude you think that was awesome to film i guarantee you those actors
couldn't breathe in those costumes 104 degrees outside they had to run up and down that hill
1800 times and they were miserable right but i'm not considering that i'm considered being
being behind the camera and watching Pikachu fly around
at you.
Yeah, I get you.
Yoshi, could you go in harder with that gut shot
on Donkey Kong?
I'm just relieved Conor McGregor wasn't
there. He would never have got a game.
I would have died. Take him down. Go to the hospital.
Okay, cool. So I have the next pick.
My second round. Hell yeah. I have the next pick, my second round.
Hell yeah.
I'll put it here, but it is.
Don't blow this.
It's one that I've seen a million times.
I know word for word.
It was endless in my childhood,
so I'm just going to play it for you guys now.
I cannot live another day without air conditioning.
Says tomorrow's going to be hotter.
Oh, yeah.
Like yesterday. Yesterday? Yesterday you said hotter. Oh, yeah. Yesterday.
Yesterday?
Yesterday you said you'd call Sears.
I'll call today.
You call now.
I'll call now.
Perfect.
Why was this on Nickelodeon every commercial break when I was a kid?
For who?
Tell your parents you're hot.
I'm on a Kenmore air conditioning system. The end buttons it up. It tells a kid. For who? Tell your parents you're hot.
The end buttons it up.
It tells a story.
Are you listening, users will be there to back it up.
Get 0% finance charge. Are you listening, kids?
No pay.
May 31st.
So call now.
Here it is.
Now back to Metalocalypse.
So what's the paper say about tomorrow?
Another scorcher.
Cool.
Yeah!
It is.
Nick, how many times have you seen that commercial?
Oh, every day for...
Oh, at least that.
That's so funny.
Why would that be on Nickelodeon?
I don't know.
I've seen it so much.
I've seen it parodied a million times.
It's great.
It's great.
But that's my pick.
So now we're back onto Gavin.
This is probably my only pick that I assume everyone has seen.
Are you aware of the original commercial for Xbox in Europe?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
All right.
I knew you were going to pick this.
Oh
My god
Dude this is insane. I don't know that I've ever seen this. Really? You haven't seen this? Uh-uh.
Does he die?
Yeah.
What?
That's why you do your kegels.
Hey, life's short, Eric.
What the hell? Drink milk. Hey, life's short, Eric. What the hell?
Drink milk.
And banned immediately.
I think it was on TV for two weeks
before it got a shitload of complaints.
That sounds right.
And then it was immediately taken off.
But yeah, that was coinciding
with the launch of the original Xbox
in Europe.
And I think it's phenomenal.
Yeah.
That's crazy. That is think it's phenomenal. Yeah. That's crazy.
That is really something, man.
It's like the shots of some guy
going over the countryside of England.
That was a hell of a pick, Gavin.
That was, I don't think,
I've never ever seen that.
That was wild.
What a fucking...
We died.
It was a man died. man died i think they started
strong i think xbox typically was never as cool as playstation but i think that ad was cool i think
they were actually cool until it was bad did you did that ad like literally work on you when you're
a kid where you're like you know life is short i should play more video games well i mean i got xbox instead of a playstation i like the idea of seeing that and then going to buy an xbox and
getting blinks the time cat like yeah what's that is watching that now i realized how far along the
timeline of that guy flying over england i've actually progressed and uh that is quite worrying maybe i should play more xbox well
good luck exploding a coffin oh man it's so great they're too because the 360 also had a band
ad in europe i think if you've if you announce a new console you've got to start with a band ad
that's just how you do it.
Smart.
Okay, moving on to Jeff.
Anything you want to say about yours, Jeff?
This ad is actually from a little bit before I was born.
It's from a series of ads that were very popular. I just couldn't find any specific ones from my childhood
that weren't included in an hour-and-a-half-long compilation
where we'd have to watch 37 minutes in,
you know,
I just seemed like a pain in the ass.
So I got what I think is the first one of this series.
You,
it may not mean anything to you,
but it affected,
I'll say this.
Every child in America did this at the grocery store specifically because of
this ad.
My entire childhood,
I did it and everybody I knew did it.
We did it to be dickheads.
We did it because the TV told us not to.
Would Stuart have done this?
Yes.
Okay, here it is.
That's him, Herman,
the funny-looking one with the mustache.
Oh, that's him.
Hey, Whipple,
you've been giving the missus a tough time
for squeezing Charmin bathroom tissue.
But we don't squeeze you Charmin in the store.
Yeah, see, there's a sign.
It's like Columbo's stuntman.
It's like Columbo tough guy.
But Charmin, we can't resist.
Charmin's so deep down, squeezably soft.
And the soft fragrance is irresistible. Irresistible price, too.
I need a sign.
Everyone squeezes new Charmin here.
Does smell nice.
Yeah, it does.
It's so soft.
You gotta resist it, honey. You gotta be strong like us guys.
Right, Whipple?
Oh, Mr. Whipple!
Even Mr. Whipple!
Even Mr. Whipple succumbed to squeezing the Charmin. This is a very soft Charmin bathroom.
They're all just squeezing this baby's face.
When I go to a grocery store, I still squeeze the fucking Charmin sometimes.
Oh, you still squeeze it?
Ah, yeah.
Fuck you, Whipple.
Trying to stop our good time fucking whipple uh that was way before my time the squeeze the sherman thing but that was even something that i knew
like growing up it's another one of those things like where's the beef it it lasted from the 70s
into the mid 80s like he was still they were still doing new commercials with him when I was probably nine or 10.
Oh, so it was always was it always budget Peter Falk as well?
No, that was just like somebody's like husband who was a tough guy and maybe in the maybe a lower rung of the mafia.
Yeah, but it was always some situation where Mr. Whipple was like, ladies, I'm begging you.
Don't squeeze the Charmin. And they're like, Mr. Whipple, like, ladies, I'm begging you, don't squeeze the Charmin!
And they're like, Mr. Whipple,
it's so squeezably soft! And you turn
around and he's squeezing, and they're like, Mr. Whipple,
you too? And he's like,
oh no! I'm what
I hate! I'm what I
hate!
Not nearly as cool as
shooting a dying baby out of your vagina but it is yeah that's pretty good
i'm curious if mr whipple has a un like just a an unreasonable hatred of bears after getting
bumped by a shit-taking bear that's my shaman logo like i don't know if there is in between
or did they do we know if they like pass the baton to the bear? I think maybe they tried.
Maybe they tried to toughen it up like nobody squeezes a bear, right?
You get fucking off.
Yeah.
Smart.
Oh, OK.
And now we've moved on to the last pick in our second round.
And this will be Andrew.
This is this is tough.
This is a we had strap in because we're going to go on a little bit of an adventure.
This is we are going not just like country.
We're going local.
I'm going with some local ads.
These are we're going with a two parter.
These are going to be two different ads.
My second and third pick.
Just so you can understand the joy that it was growing up with Dodds commercials.
Now, these Dodds furniture mattress.
Dodds?
Dodds furniture and mattress.
I'm posting a link right now.
These were bed commercials.
They all had a general kind of
same feel to them,
the same vibe,
and they're insane.
So enjoy them.
Okay, here's Dodds.
Space. The final frontier. Aye, here's Dodds. Space.
The final frontier.
Aye, Captain.
You can choose your space with a Serta.
Oh, my God.
Real comfort Serta mattresses let you have softer,
firm on the same mattress.
Boldly dream like you never dreamed before.
He's a triple.
Be on board to the side that's right for you.
This whips. Captain, you won't Be on board to the side that's right for you. This whips.
Captain, you won't be
undersold?
A logical choice. Live long and
sleep.
Andrew.
Great fucking tip.
That's fantastic.
That was awesome.
You gotta love Dots.
You actually saw that come on television?
Constantly, and as you see in the top left,
there's a super Dods.
I'm gonna drop in a second link right now
of another Dods commercial.
This was my childhood.
Whenever there is a new Dod,
everyone would get excited.
New Dod is on TV.
A new Dod!
It's, uh...
Oh, man.
That shot of them both warping onto the bed
that was so funny that was really good get the lincoln yeah they're great all these commercials
a lot of them are based on film parody is that him in the bottom right there as the incredible
hulk yes it is that is a dodds Hulk. We're not going with that one.
We're going with this one
that I just put in the chat.
Again, Dodds Furniture.
Yep.
All right.
After 33 years of never being undersold,
it was bound to happen.
I got gas.
In fact, Morty has so much gas,
he wants to give you a $100 gas coupon
to Peninsula Co-op for every purchase over
Buy a bed get a gas card oh my god
wow
it was tough for me not to just go with
four different dodds ads for my pick
but uh yeah that's our Dodd block.
I hope people enjoy and explore further on your own into the Dodd universe.
I'm impressed.
I think that that was really good.
I mean, that was super Dodded out.
I love it.
I don't.
Local commercials are really something else else that was a very good one
i like this in some of the i got gas shots that's just a couple of people just moseying around in
the background we should do a local commercial draft someday there's so many it's a good that's
like not a bad plan uh okay uh we're moving on to jeff now yeah uh yeah oh
because this would be my third one uh it's i'm continuing in a very specific theme here which is
uh ads that maybe weren't necessarily uh marketed towards kids but that created cultural touchstones
that just became bigger than the ad themselves and this one is the one here's another example
my entire childhood,
this was an ad campaign.
And as an adult,
when I get up in the morning,
I say this to myself or to Emily.
And I have,
I have my entire fucking life.
And I'd say probably four days a week.
I still say this.
Okay.
Time to make the donuts.
Time to make the donuts. I Time to make the doughnuts.
I've heard you say this.
Yeah, man. The Dunkin' Donut Man has to get up before everybody else so that he can stroll into Dunkin' Donuts and make the doughnuts.
Plain doughnuts aren't enough.
Five times...
Of course, when you make the doughnuts...
Wake up, asshole. Oh, yeah, this one
It just shows the hit over and over again
For some reason
He stops eventually
They just really want you to get the
Effect of the slap
It didn't add like that, did it?
No
There you go, Dunkin' Donuts, time to make the donuts
Everybody in America
Who had to get up before
the sun rose would fucking
stumble around their house trying to brush their teeth and make
coffee going, time to make the donuts.
Because of that fucking dude.
It's so funny, like, the stuff that just gets
burned into our brains. So effective.
Again, another one that was
before my time that I knew
because it was just in the zeitgeist.
Yeah. Okay, next one is Gavin.
I like this one because, once again,
it created a catchphrase that went way beyond the advert itself.
And it's probably the most English advert I've ever seen.
It's condescending.
The guy just looks like a normal bloke.
He's got a hole in his jumper.
And it's pretty self-explanatory.
Okay.
This is a door.
This is Roncil quick-drying varnish.
Brush it on and you'll have a door covered in Roncil quick-drying varnish.
It's touch dry in about 20 minutes.
So in about 20 minutes, you can touch it and it will be dry.
Of course, you have a beautiful result.
There'd be no point doing the job in the first place.
It does exactly what it says on the tin. It does exactly what it says on the tin it does exactly what it
says on the tin it was an absolute icon of a catchphrase and people use it for way more than
varnishes now but i just and that guy did so many of those adverts where he's like oh this is a
floor this and you know just like so so dry and condescending. And I love him so much. The British are so strange.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Dude, that is like Gavin the commercial.
Yeah, no kidding.
That was like, that was ridiculous.
I think that's who I wanted to be growing up.
Was the one sealed guy.
Pretty fucking clear.
Mission accomplished.
I think that that's great.
You're right.
That's a guy with a hole in his jumper.
It's all so deliberate and it's
great it is straight forward
and those things must have taken like
eight minutes to film maybe
maybe eight minutes say the
line do we need another take no we got it
oh okay that's exactly what it
says on the tin yeah
oh man um okay
well mine my third pick,
I don't know how many of you guys are going to know this,
but this is one that I sing to myself almost every day,
so I'm just going to play it.
Oh, damn it.
I'm working for an hourly wage.
I went to high school, didn't do great. Still, I got to make enough cash. More education is what I'm looking for. I love this commercial.
I'm dancing.
Which college is right for me?
Best part.
Best part.
This played all day, every day.
Why did somebody make this song?
So if you put the draft 15 years later, whatever.
I don't think I've ever seen that commercial before.
Oh, you weren't watching daytime TV in 2004?
This is all the play. You got a free success kit?
Yeah, none of it is.
It's that and the Everest College guy.
He's not my last pick, everest college is such a runner
up for me i almost put it on and i didn't it's so good what is it just a search engine for colleges
yeah just google yeah yeah yeah but google doesn't have a free success kit that's true worth a hundred
dollars yep but that that girl singing that song all the graphics graphics, it was just like, man, inescapable.
I love that.
I love that commercial.
I love the era of time where the internet was fresh enough that it warranted people standing on top of the internet while they were talking.
Here's what the webpage looks like.
Oh, okay.
Great.
Oh.
Oh, man. All right.. Oh, man. Alright.
On to Nick with his third pick.
Alright, so this, speaking of songs, this is
one that features a song that gets stuck in your head,
but also features people
who are put in situations and
given a product that would never
actually solve them, and yet it always
seemed to.
Oh. Great pick.
Great pick. Great pick.
So good. This song is so
catchy.
Oh no, his suit.
Nick, his suit.
Wait a second. Look at this
lunatic.
Now he's just covered in paint.
Pinstripe.
I always like the one where the person,
oh shit.
Oh,
that was scary.
Well,
the person goes through the car at the stop line.
Did you ever see the Foo Fighters video that parodies that?
Like all those commercials?
No,
no.
They did a music video for big me i think
it was like one of their first songs and it's just a big mentos parody and it's uh it's good
i when i see those i think of that oh zoo books in the bottom right i remember those
uh camels i wonder if i wonder if that's somebody's fourth pick. Nick, do you have a fourth pick? I do.
Here it is.
There was a lot of back and forth on this one,
but I'm going back.
Almost picked this one.
This is my favorite.
I'm going to pick this one.
The Chihuahua twitch.
Wait a second.
He wasn't going to the girl Chihuahua?
Yeah!
Look at how good that looks.
Hang on.
Is that Buster?
Oh my god.
It's Tony Hale.
It's Tony Hale.
What?
Dude, you're right.
That is Tony Hale.
What?
I can't believe that.
That's Buster from Arrested Development.
Oh my god, that is him.
I didn't know that.
Is it really him?
Yeah, that's definitely him that's crazy wow he popped up on the screen and i went oh it kind of looks like him and then it was
this close up and i went oh yeah that's him yep he was pretty dashing back then that's crazy
you know the dog was voiced by uh one of the guys from reno 911 yeah that crazy
was it what a weird career seriously what did what an absolutely crazy career oh man i like
they they clearly went how are we gonna show the dog going up a ladder
that'll do it yeah don't don't worry. You're the dog. It's fine.
Nick, great picks.
Yeah, great picks.
Here's my final pick.
Pick number four.
I don't know how many people are going to know this. Great pick.
It's sometime in the future.
This will be a challenge.
I had this one lined up too.
Oh, yeah.
So good.
Cross fire.
You'll get caught.
Cross fire.
I had this.
It was this fun.
Was it really?
Yes.
It was this fun.
Should we play it?
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
You use a little gun to shoot.
Is that kid dead?
You shoot little,
you shoot marbles.
So you shoot,
you shoot little marbles out of the little gun and you are trying to knock
these things that are essentially like little ball bearings inside of like
stars or triangles or whatever.
You're trying to hit them to go into
like the opponent's little ditch in front of them so there's like four or five things on the
play field at once and you're just picking one shooting at it and they have to defend it's going
back and forth it's really fun crossfire ruled and are you trying to avoid or are you trying to
get caught up in the crossfire oh you're definitely getting whether you want to or are you trying to get caught up in the crossfire? Oh, you're definitely getting, whether you want to or not,
you're getting caught up in the crossfire.
Okay.
Like, regardless of what you want,
you are getting caught up in the crossfire.
Man, America did toy adverts right.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, tricking kids outright, 100%.
We did that so well.
We should, we do the same thing with medication commercials now.
We, to grown-ups, do you have mesothelioma? We should definitely do thing with medication commercials. Now, we have to grow up. Do you have mesothelioma?
We should definitely do a Crossfire tournament.
Dude, that'd be sick.
Hell yeah.
See who the best one is.
That'd be fucking awesome.
Summer of 98 content.
Dude, no kidding.
I think Crossfire might be a little bit earlier than that.
But, okay, why not?
Why not?
Crossfire's still around.
Well, you can buy Crossfire.
$70!
And is that new Crossfire
or just old stock? I mean,
it looks almost exactly like that
Crossfire. It does not look
$70. That's what Phantasy Star
and the Sega Master System cost when it came out.
What a great
associating price to Phantasy Star.
That's two Phantasy Stars
on the Sega Master System game.
That's what I always used to think of. I was like, how can a video game
cost $70 in
1985?
Okay, cool.
Gavin, your last
pick.
What was the tagline for Dr. Pepper?
Be a pepper?
Yeah, I guess that was it.
Yeah, I don't know.
It was weird.
Wouldn't you like to be a pepper, too?
Yeah.
He's a pepper, she's a pepper.
Oh, yeah, that was.
I guess that was it.
Now, I've made a lot of references to Dr. Pepper commercials,
and I realized the catchphrase
was completely different in the UK
where it was, what's the worst that can happen?
What?
And the reason I thought it was
American is because all of the commercials
star American actors
and seem to be shot in America
but entirely for a UK audience.
Is that Jesse Eisenberg?
That's a teenage Jesse Eisenberg.
What? Okay, hang onberg what okay hang on all right
young zuck dr. pepper what's the worst that could happen what does that mean
What is going on?
So the end of every advert has something go horrifically wrong,
and then it says, Dr. Pepper, what's the worst that could happen?
But no one in America knows that tagline or has seen any of these commercials.
I don't understand.
What were they doing?
I want a Dr. Pepper.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't understand why. He gets the Dr. Pepper or a yeah I don't know I don't understand why he gets the Dr. Pepper
and then it goes wrong
I assume it's because people in England didn't really know what it tasted like
and so they were just like what's the worst that could happen
and then they show something horrific happening
but in every
piece of content I've been in
for the last 10 years
anytime someone has mentioned Dr. Pepper
I've just asked what's the
worst that can happen and no one ever knows what i'm talking about i might have done it on face
like two or three times i've never i've never heard of this i've never seen this i don't
understand it i'm clearly like yeah i don't either and i think also in the middle of that
is that woman from i don't remember her name but she's in
Mission Impossible movies
that was her I thought so
she's like Tom Cruise's wife in Mission Impossible
mmm that lady
Michelle Monaghan
yeah that was her
yeah that's her name weird
weird crazy well
that was a that was a great
last pick, Gavin.
That really threw me for a loop.
That's an actual frame of Jesse Eisenberg's bare ass
on a TV commercial.
I'll be beating off of that later.
Here is Jeff's
final pick. Jeff, anything you want to say about this?
I'm going to throw this out there.
This final pick is an audible.
Honestly, I had something else picked that I was really happy with,
but Nick, Nick's Taco Bell commercial jogged a very important memory.
And so I went and I grabbed it.
So what I'm saying is I haven't watched this yet.
I think it's the right commercial.
So I apologize if it goes wrong.
Okay, here it is.
Spuds.
There he is.
What a happening dude.
Spuds McKenzie's a rad dude.
His name is Spuds McKenzie.
Awesome.
A barbecue and a cold Bud Light.
A cold Bud Light.
Puts him in a party frenzy.
In a party frenzy.
He's Spuds McKenzie.
Bud Light's original party animal.
Every... Look at him go. Ha ha ha. He's Spuds McKenzie, Bud Light's original party animal. Every... Look at him go.
You're really cooking now.
All right.
I had a bull terrier for 11 years because of those commercials.
Hell yeah.
Go Spuds, go.
I also think it's really weird.
That commercial is clearly marketed towards kids
because that dog is the original party animal.
And that was the country version. there was a lot of beach like he would there was a lot of like uh hawaiian shirt wearing spuds mckenzie commercials clearly marketed towards kids that is a beer
commercial i didn't it never struck me as odd when i was a child but i really wanted to be spuds
mckenzie when i was every every time i see a dog like that i I just go, Spuds McKenzie, out loud. Every time.
100% of the time.
Was that a random Australian guy announcing that it was Spuds McKenzie?
Was it?
I don't know.
Was he Australian?
I don't know.
I just.
It was much later than this.
Hang on.
I need to see if he's Australian, Jeff.
Hang on.
Well, no worries.
I'm a cure inside.
Do-do-do.
A barbecue.
And a cold Bud Light. A cold Bud Light. Put some in he's Australian, Jeff. Hang on. Well, no worries.
Oh, it's supposed to be Robin Leach. Now it's Robin Leach.
I don't know if it is Robin Leach.
It is Robin Leach.
It is Robin Leach.
Yeah.
Do you think, is Robin Leach Australian?
Who's Robin Leach?
Yeah, I don't know who Robin Leach is.
Wow, really?
You don't know who Robin Leach is?
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous. You don know who robin leach is no we had a show in america called lifestyles of the rich and famous where robin leach would
take you around and show uh show how rich people lived it was like cribs before cribs
yep oh okay and he was he's a brit guy, right? Yeah, he was British.
There he is, Robin Leach.
Wow.
Also famous in America.
He's from Perryvale, United Kingdom.
Yeah.
Died in Las Vegas.
He seems like a Vegas kind of guy.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
Okay, and that's Jeff's last pick pick now we have the final pick of this draft
andrew number four a lot of a lot of pressure here there's a lot i could have went with
i used to get tons of psa type commercials as a kid growing up there's so many that they'd play
constantly on like our equivalent of nickelodeon and uh whatnot so I'm going to go with what I think is the most iconic.
It's one of the things I immediately think of when I think of childhood commercials.
And I think it just is sort of a perfect ending to this draft as a whole for what the messaging is of the commercial.
OK, anybody like from my time, from my age, has seen this so many times.
OK.
It's nighttime in a kitchen just like yours
all is quiet or is it oh the north american house hippo is found throughout canada and the eastern
united states house hippos are very timid creatures and are rarely seen but they will
defend their territory if provoked they come out at night
to search for food water and materials for their nests the favorite foods of the house hippo are
chips raisins and the crumbs from peanut butter on toast they build their nests in bedroom closets
using lost mittens dryer lint and bits of string The nests have to be very soft and warm.
House hippos sleep about 16 hours a day.
That looked really real.
But you knew it couldn't be true, didn't you?
You knew.
That's why it's good to think about what you're watching on TV.
And ask questions.
Kind of like you just did.
A message from Concerned Children's Advertisers.
Hey, idiot.
What the hell was that?
That buzz kill.
Fuck.
Oh, my God.
That baby flying through the air.
That wasn't real.
That didn't happen.
You know that chihuahua running up?
Get that Taco Bell?
That's some bullshit.
Spuds McKenzie can't really play the drums.
You can't sit on a cow in a train station.
No.
Yeah.
I'm just sort of floored. it was so long yeah yeah and then it was like guess what that's not even real and i'm like
none of this will right guess what we fucking lied to you and you believed it you idiots but
all you're gonna take away from that is man i wish little house hippos were real i'm just gonna
think about the house yeah absolutely where do i buy the house hippo? I want one. Can we make one?
My thought while watching
it is I wish I could get the opinion
of a house hippo for the chip off. I feel
like there's clearly expertise
in that realm.
Weird. It's our draft.
It's such a weird commercial.
Well, that's our draft.
How do you guys feel like you did?
I feel good. I feel good.
I feel good.
I feel good.
Part of my childhood.
I feel like Andrew did really well with those mattress ones.
Oh, those Dodds commercials were great, dude.
Those were really fun.
I didn't really have a lot of local stuff.
My country is small enough to just be local.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
Does anybody have any
runner-ups they want to show?
I've got an honorable mention
for sure.
Okay, do you want to throw it in
the line below your last one?
We'll show an honorable mention.
Everybody get one honorable mention?
Yeah, sure, why not?
I had a few this one will do.
This is Gavin's. This is Gavin's.
This is Tango.
Tagline being, you've been tangoed.
Okay.
This advert started a trend that caused so many kids on so many playgrounds to end up
with a burst eardrum.
Really?
Yeah.
What?
And it was eventually, I think, also banned.
Jeez.
But I might be wrong.
I don't know.
Hello, Tony.
I think we might use a video replay here.
Super, right?
Let's do that.
Oh, yes, we could be in for a quintessential Tango Descension here. What is happening?
Wham! He's been tangoed!
Oh no!
Yes Ralph, the big orange fella ran in from the left and he gave him a good old slapping.
It just illustrates he's bright and buzzed!
Yes Ralph, super taste sensation.
Did you get tangoed a lot Gavin?
I got tangoed a few times, yeah. And as it says, you know when you've been tangoed a lot, Gavin? I got tangoed a few times, yeah.
And as it says, you know when you've been tangoed.
What is it with your country and punishing you for buying their beverages?
Why do they hate you when you buy your beverage?
Get a Dr. Pepper, end up in fucking jail.
End up dead.
Need a saw.
Buy a tango.
Get punched.
Because that's the thing.
Get slapped.
It's crazy.
So that caused kids all over England to do that.
Well, yeah, because they were just slapping each other in the face
with both hands at the same time and hitting each other in the ear holes.
And it was a big problem at the time, I think.
Seems like it would be.
Let's go with Jeff's honorable mention here.
Jeff, anything you want to say?
This was my original fourth pick before I switched it out. Very similar.
Just like super popular
in America. There's a million
of these. This is just the one that
I didn't realize how bad all the
songs were. They're pretty fucking bad.
But yeah.
Okay, here it is.
Bowling sure makes me hot and thirsty.
This is a job for Kool-Aid.
Goddamn right it is.
Oh my god.
Jesus.
This is great.
This is a really good one.
That guy must have been terrified.
Damn right it is.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
There were like a million of those,
obviously.
I'm sure they made their way to England too.
Uh,
but those were always great.
It's like Christchurch favorite drink,
man.
That's great.
I also had,
uh,
there's no need to play it,
but I also,
uh,
my other one was going to be California Raisins.
Oh,
that's good too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's go with,
let's go with Nick's.
We'll go with mine and wrap up with Andrew's.
Oh,
Nick.
This is a good pick.
Yeah.
This one traumatized a lot of kids.
I'm guessing.
Yep.
Oh,
also those beds
I've never seen this
Waking daddy was the worst when you're a kid
Don't fucking wake daddy
I got work!
fucking wake daddy i got work they just keep saying it that's the whole commercial there's a lot of dad so what wakes
daddy pressing on the alarm so you have like you land on spots and then you press the alarm and
it's a random number that you press it a certain amount of times or whatever and then he fucking
sits up and his hat shoots off. That's it.
And then
you're not supposed to wake daddy. And then the sleep
over is over. Yeah. Yeah.
Go home. He doesn't
even call the other parents. He just sends them out. Hell no.
Yeah, you just walk home.
Jeff
mentioned it earlier, but this was
this was on my short list.
Now your child can visit
steamy jungles, grassy plains,
and the third depths of the ocean.
One of these.
Oh, how much?
There's a monkey!
No.
Well, accurate to the time. Yeah. Each monthly issue of Zoo Books is packed with breathtaking full-color photos and scientifically accurate illustrations.
Well, accurate to the time.
Yeah.
They just keep hanging out with the monkey. 12 fascinating issues of Zoo Books for the special price of $25.
This one's camels.
I like that you know that there was a discussion about.
Oh, nice.
Tree elephants.
Oh, yeah.
Tiger poster.
Tiger poster poster so sick
The thing I remember
A lot about that was him having the conversation
With the mailman
Like the mailman is so excited to give him
The zoo books
Like watch
He's like I read half of it on the way over here
It's fucking awesome
Oh you're not going to believe what happens in this one.
Page 17, praying mantises.
Oh, man.
But Zoo Books was definitely one that I saw a lot in tandem with the Sears air conditioning commercial.
I'm not sure if a camel can carry an entire zoo book, though.
I agree.
I agree with you.
100%.
Andrew, your honorable mention anything you want
to say about it yes uh it is another psa type ad this was the one that i thought of more as a kid
this is i prefer this one over the hippos but it wasn't as iconic there are some kids in here that
i thought were fucking cool as a little kid all right that are not cool at all, but here we go
This is a thing that it looks like you would love I just give a crucial. Oh wow
It's like every cool thing ever. This kid was so cool.
Mom!
Mom!
Aiden cut me in half again!
This is a great commercial.
This is a really 90s feeling commercial,
which means it came out in 2005 in canada this feels like a 1999 thing so man dude what a fun commercial though
yep everybody's going something what's your thing andrew what's your thing?
I wish my thing was T-Rex noises.
I'd give a lot to be a T-Rex noise guy.
I would say my thing, unfortunately, is bad ankles and a lot of pillows.
I think I'm fucked up on what my thing should be.
Man, they really cared about advertising to children in Canada.
Yeah, they seemed to. They really wanted to protect them. Oh, there's so many. think should be man they really cared about advertising to children in canada yeah they
seem to yeah i really wanted to protect them oh there's so many so many can i ask you a question
andrew of course do you feel protected i feel pretty protected yeah mainly because of my
unbreakable nose i think that may have carried me quite a bit that helps but i mean do you feel
like canada was looking out for you?
And protected you through your childhood?
Yeah, I guess. Yeah. I didn't feel
they were against me, at the very least.
I mean, the idea of having an ad that
makes you question
the realism of the ad, that's
mind-blowing to me. I never had anything like that.
Yeah.
Do you think all the little Canadian kids in Vancouver
with boot prints on their
chests feel protected well they don't yeah well thankfully there aren't many of us
that's true alleged beyond one
well there you have it those are tv commercials and we watched them
why are hang on are you doing the outro?
No, I'm just saying.
I thought Gavin did such a good intro.
I want Gavin to do the outro.
Gavin, take it away.
I gave you a sample outro.
You can use that one or make your own.
Where did you stop?
I said, yeah, well, there you have it.
We watched some commercials.
Thanks for watching the draft hopefully you watched it and you didn't just listen to it uh see you next one
oh it hurts
well help me out do it properly no we need to We need somebody to make a commercial on how to do an outro.
Oh my god.
Maybe if Andrew could rap it to you.
Oh, maybe you can rap us out, Gavin.
Well, I'll let Andrew do that
because he said all the milk practice.
No, I'm not. Hey, you've rapped before.
There are videos of you rapping.
I didn't let you lead the stage.
Eric, what?
Do the outro.
What else do I need to say?
You need to wrap it up somehow.
I don't, do you feel like you left that on a strong ending?
Hey, thanks for listening to another draft from F*** Face.
We hope you liked it.
We've done a few of these in the past.
We'll be doing a few in the future.
Well, maybe you could find your favorite commercials from when you were a kid
and send them to your friends as an adult.
And you can say, hey, do you remember this commercial when you were a kid?
And your friend can say, yeah, I also liked it.
And then you guys can share a moment.
Bye. We'll see you next time.
