Encyclopedia Britannica (1980)

Did you think you saw the last of the long-haired nerd? He has a few more things to say in this video:

god that guy was annoying always pictured bulk and skull from power rangers beating him up and stuffing him in a locker.

i remember dis commercial.dont he sound like michael jackson?

Nice Mullet!

I wonder if that number still works

Not that I was a bully (much!), but I remeber thinking whenever I saw this commercial (I still hate it) that if I ever saw this kid I would love to beat him senseless. I have other words I could've used but I don't like profanity (much!). And whatever year this commercial came out I got the whole set as a Christmas present. That sucked. But, I'll confess, I still have those books in a box stored in my locker in the basement of my apt. building. Don't need them, I have the internet.

Good - I'm not the only one who wanted to shoot this kid.

It's hard to imagine, since the internet became more popular, there was a time when people actually used encyclopedias where you actually had to work to look something up.

I also perferred World Book.

~_~; really annoying commercial with the bossy blond guy

I hated this kid. He was so annoying and this commercial was on every 2 minutes.

That kid always annoyed the crap out of me

I remember that commercial, I got on tape, it was taped from VH1 in 1990.

That kid is irritating. The disembodied voice in the background should beat him up based on how he treats him.

LOL, and now all that fits on a DVD. And what doesn't, you can Google...

This is one of those commercials that is burned into my brain forever. They showed it during every commercial break on Nickelodeon (or so it seemed, lol).

How many times did the kid's voice cracked?

I remember when they used to air this during the WUTV Saturday Afternoon Movie. The kid sticks out in my mind as the most annoying person in history.

LOL what a dork!

"I think I made myself abundantly clear." Say that to the wrong person and that's a good way to get yourself thumped.

Who Was That Dude?

I used to be annoyed by this geek back in the day. Forgot about the awesome mullet, though. I also remember the Britannica being given away as a prize a lot on Double Dare.

That kid's so annoying that even my own brother couldn't top that. How is it that one smart ass kid can be that annoying?
I get the feeling that this the is the kind of kid that enjoys listening to himself talking and would dominate a conversation without any objections from people.

I remember these commercials from the early 90s. I always found it kind of creepy with how he talks to the voice of some person who's not even there! Reminds me of "The Amityville Horror"! LOL!

yeah, and he also brags about his brain-smarts.

Is this an anti-commercial or something? That's a hell of a lot of fourth wall breaks when he bluntly pressures the narrator to shut up...and pointing out the obvious numerous times.
