Video Bits of the Week: The Value of Old Recordings

Three commercials from years ago.

Remember how the titles of all the Friends episode started "The One with…"? Trying to capitalize on a similar clever device, every episode of Joey started with "Joey and…". Yep. That's how deep they were digging. So it's pretty likely that Matt Leblanc is more embarrassed about Joey, than he is about this Heinz commercial.



The McDLT was revolutionary. It was McDonald's slightly more successful predecessor to the Arch Deluxe. "The beef stays hot, the cool stays crisp." The cool? I had a white jacket like Jason Alexander's. And I too refused to tighten my knit tie, because I had to breathe, man.



And how adorable is young Tina Fey in her sofa-print vest, black tights and pirate shirt?
