Cartoon Network Commercials (August 16, 2008)

(I don't have any more kid cable content at all right now, stop asking)

So much for not having any cable content.

This was an incredibly lucky find, actually. This wasn't even a blank tape. I had a good eye for detail that day and ended up spotting a Stuart Little VHS tape...that just so happened to have a piece of electrical tape stuck over the record protection tab. That was a common trick done to record over commercial releases and/or tapes that already had that tab pried off. I popped the tape in, expecting more boring soap operas and trashy reality shows...only to be taken completely by surprise to find THIS on it. You guys seriously have no clue how rare kid content is, and that goes for anything, cable or not. So yeah, once I checked the tape in the store, you better believe the first instinct I had was buying it. I also said absolutely nothing about the recording tab...just in case they'd happen to mess it up again. Heh.

This is from 2008. Not the best time period, as CN was just falling into their rut around this time. This was where their focus slowly moved away from cartoons and they went through that awkward era where they wanted desperately to appeal to the older male demographic. That's where we ended up with the mess known as CN Real and getting no new animated shows in 2009. On top of that, the commercials also suffer this year because this was just in the wake of the 2008 economic recession. As such, there's a pretty major increase in informercials (ewww). But still, cartoon anything is rare to run across, so it's honestly nothing short of awesome to find this. And it's pretty lengthy too!

~ ...okay, is this one even trying? It's so obvious that's not a Wii they're advertising. Notice how they never use the word "Wii" during this commercial, and how instead of showing a picture of the console, they just show a poorly-rendered CGI model. Yeah, this is one of those PopStation-esque ripoff consoles, isn't it?
