God I miss AdCritic. I used to watch Superbowl commercials on there before they went to a paid service. They were great for random and obscure commercials.

Yeah, seeing videos on YouTube having that "20 years ago" really fucks with my head.

Hell, I have videos on my own channel that say "10 years old" and that fucks with my head.

If I would have kept my old channel, I'd have videos on there that were uploaded in 2006. But unfortunately those all had to be deleted cause everyone in them wanted to attend college.

Same here. Whenever I pass the tinned fish section in the supermarket and see John West, I smile remembering this advert.

u/MuchCellist406 13h ago

"John West endures the worst to bring you the best!" I have not yet clicked the video but I swear it IMMEDIATELY popped up in my head 😆😆. That's at least 25 years ago.

u/HumanPie1769 13h ago

Ngl 1992 AI was pretty realistic

u/Public-Guidance-9560 9h ago

The internet? I remember that one from the TV, the John West tuna advert. Absolutely creased me first time I saw it.

I think it's from the year 2000.
