Weird Al Yankovic live at the North Fork Theater, Westbury, NY, June 2, 2007. Amazing video and audio considering it was taken with a tiny little digital camera (Sony Cybershot DSC-W70, movie mode, 3x zoom).
1987 - Eveready Energizer - Jacko Mark Jackson. Australian Rules football player. The original...Jacko! From a time when it seems as if, all of a sudden, America realized that it hadn't gotten around to assimilating Australian entertainment yet, so it made Paul Hogan a star in Crocodile Dundee, put the name Yahoo Serious on people's lips, and brought us Jacko to yell "Oi!" at us, which was supposed to make us want to buy batteries.

In 1985, AIDS as a disease was not something all too familiar to the general American public. All that many people knew was that, if they thought about it at all, it was considered a shameful thing to have.

If it really was as detailed as it appears to be, it looks like it was a nice set to own if you're into that sort of thing.

One of the original Calvin Klein's Obsession perfume ads that went on to be parodied so well.
You knew him, you loved him, you learned to live without him, but let's give a twentieth-anniversary shoutout anyway to the man who gave the Isuzu I-Mark car its moment in the ad sun, David Leisure, a.k.a. Joe Isuzu.
Comedy Central used to put some effort into their promos. If this one was to be described as if it were a Tivo program guide entry, it might be, "A man in a plunging elevator shares his fate with the Buddy Scott Trio."
Crazy Eddie's 12 Days Of Christmas Sale, featuring Jerry Carroll and the Crazy Chorale.
Behold the future! And you can tell it's the future, because the Ginsu Knife has the number 2000 in the LED font. All it lacked was a grid for extra future-icity.
It's after Christmas, but why should you stop shopping for the best bargains at Crazy Eddie?
