I know y’all gon gas me but the 2015 one is actually very nostalgic to me. I remember I loved going to the library to get dvds when I was younger and before I would leave my house to go there I would always see that version of the commercial on my tv so it’s nostalgic to me now lmao
None will beat the 2008 just for the times and memories it brings me from my childhood. I remember coming from school eating an ice cream cone after watching a show and this ad pop up and always say “TODAY” at the end. Memories...
I grew up with the 2008 one and I’ve never seen any of the others before. I always used to love the jingle and I thought that it was just me because it was only just a commercial but now I know that there are thousands and thousands of other people who also used to love this commercial.
The 2004 CGI arc was one of the most important for the anime, especially after the poorly recieved and misguided 2003 arc. I dont think I personally I agree with the 2015 reboot, but I'm sure younger generations will learn to appreciate it.
Ahh I remember sitting on the couch ready for school and seeing this commercial coming on I think this was in 2018 or 2019 I think I'm not sure but we all remember this catchy commercial 😢 nostalgia hits hard
Something about the old animated ones in the 1980s gives me a rush of 1980s joy! The animation is so stylised yet so vibrant and lively, it's all fantastic. Of course it's primitive compared to what computers can do nowadays, but animation like this still looks beautiful! Just saying though, the 1979 one creeps me the hell out.
Man, I hated the 2008 one so much that I once called the company to stop airing it, but my mom stopped me from doing so and threatened to call our cable company and cancel our cable.
Oh you poor young children LOL. No, area codes were not necessary for local calls until like 93 or 94. You only needed to include the area code if you were calling from a different one.
@@misterwinkybluff Incorrect, Many areas in the U.S You can still dial without an area code still, A good example is Montana, The whole state is 7 Digit Dialing. There are about 12 states that have one area code, But regardless of those states a lot of area codes are not in overlay plans, So you can dial 7 Digits, Like Greeley Colorado is 7 Digits because there was an area-code split, Not an area-code overlay plan. -17 Year old phone phreak..
This is literally the most wonderfully constructed advertisement. I still remember the jingle, after years, and I don't hate it, that's successful advertisement and I'd buy from empire any time
As a kid growing up in the Chicago area, this number is something I cant forget even 50 years later. It usually played on the WGN channel, when Cable TV came along WGN would get syndicated all over the country, so I even heard it when I moved to California.
I've never forgotten their number.

The animation is good. The problem is the lack of textures and shading.
Why does a carpet commercial remind me of my childhood
Probably because of a childhood show that you watched, then the commercial appeared out of nowhere.
Brandon Sam Animations it was a pretty fast commercial, I was frightened by the cgi as a kid
Also the TUHDAY at the end was pretty jolting

That’s when they went national, apparently. I guess they were local before then.
i dont get it why 1995
That’s when the 800 number started commercial use
Before they were 800, they were 312, which is Chicago.

The 64th Shadow I like 1995 arc is epic also 2008 the only bad one is 2003
A lot of people should appreciate what 1979 did, though. And stop saying "nostalgia glasses" because the beginning was very important.
