WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

My childhood just came rushing back in a 7-minute explosion of phantabulous classic '70s TV advertising.

I'm in love -- I want to marry this reel!

I just recently bought a vintage Masterpiece game to revenge my forgery losses to my twin sisters at the cottage...damn them!

According to this post from Boing Boing:

Someone has uploaded a 7 minute reel of amazing 1970s toy commercials -- for Bing Bang Boing, SSP Pee Wees, SSP racers, Smash Up Derby, Screen-a-Show, Slip n' Slide/Water Wiggle, Bug Out!, Screech, and Masterpiece. These are commercials from an era of cheap plastic and no advertising-to-kids regulation, and as a result, the toys look incredibly fun, even today. Plus who knew buying fine art at auction could be fun for seven-year-olds? Link
