The 80's cartoon thread reminded me of something else interesting: the toy commercials we all watched during the cartoons! You know, the silly songs like, "GI Joe Hovercraft! GI Joe Hovercraft! Gonna beat up Cobra Hydrofoil! Cobra Hydrofoil! Gonna beat up GI Joe Hovercraft!" and such.
Here's one for old Star Wars toys:

Snowtrooper: "You saved me, Rebel soldier! Why?"
Rebel: "When the Force is with you, it's your duty to do good!"
My Robotech DVD box set has some great commericals.
"Here's my secret plan to rescue Lisa Hayes from the Zentraedi!"
Or my favorite that I showed Specineff for the Barbie sized Macross doll of Minmay. These giggly girls say, "Isn't she NEAT?" Awesome stuff.
