nickelodeon pinchface (1990)

This freaked me out a bit as a kid, but those are still some good memories. Just shows how awesome and creative bumpers used to be. Now they all suck

You just don't see this kind of non-sequitur on TV anymore. '90s Nick was the best.

This bumper never scared me....I actually liked it!

I was mainly scared of the last note. The way he said Nickelodeon was what scarred me for life. OK I'm lying about the scarred for life part, it just freaked me out.

Yep.. this one definitely scared me :/

This one use 2 scare me.

Ah, I used to love this bumper...

I never actually thought this one was scary

lol i was afraid of it when i was younger but when i got older i started to enjoy it

No one ever remembered this commercial and FINALLY proof that it WAS real!!!! lol I have never been able to get this out of my head!

I was always a big fan of this bumper. It never scared me. I used to sing along with it lol.

Ahaha! I remember this! Ohhhhh my god, the memories. Whenever this came on, I'd always make my hand into a mouth like the ones on the right of the screen and make it 'sing' along. Oh man, to be a little kid again. Cartoons and crayons all day, and Nintendo if I was a good girl

Haha...I definitely remember this...and I remember it freaking me out a little bit!!

i was never scared by this as a kid...nor was i ever afraid of clowns. i hated clowns because they were unfunny.

lol it's like an acid trip

THE WAS FLIPPING FREAKY WHEN I WUZ LIL !

pretty wierd, but funny

And yep, I remember this one too.

Wow... Freaky.

hey 99Centsplease, I saw that n@n signing off bumber, and right after pinchface, the long beeeeeeeeep comes on, along with pictures of a bunch of colors.now THAT really scared me.

This didn't scare me at all even when I was little. This bumper actually brings back good memories.

This is thing at two in the morning is fucking scary! I was watching Nicktoons network (invader zim) and it went to commericals and when I came back this startd playing.

i never thought it was scary

One of my favorites!!

I read on a video posting of a Nick at Nite clip from 2001 (it had this on it) on YouTube that this sometimes comes on when N@N signs off. Considering that I live in Mountain Time, this would be extremely frightening coming out of nowhere at 4 in the morning (I don't remember this, and this doesn't scare me.)

One of my favorite old nickelodeon commercials. They don't make anything like this anymore!

My brother loves this ident. He thinks it's funny! (I also consider it funny in a tiny pinch.)

Does anyone want to pinch the face? lol

..wow. it is kinda freaky. and it could give kids with epilepsy seizures. well..i should say COULD'VE.

this bumper was my favorite..but i dont see how its creepy. im gonna watch it again closely..

HAHA! It DOES kind of sound like a Bar Mitzvah!!!

This bumper always creeped me out..
It still does.

A tape of this bumper is at this very minute, inside the Nick Time Capsule at the old site of Nick Studios. The Capsule is scheduled to open in 2042

I had nightmares about this, I still can't watch it.

that commercial used to give me nightmares.

Oprah lady? *pictures Oprah Winfrey with giant orange hair with the Nick logo on it*

This scared me too.. that face is just creepy *shudders*

Freaking. Classic. This one lasted quite a while, too.

this, the montage with all of them, the scissors, and the stage were my all time favorite nickelodeon bumper. after watching this, i remember Are You Afraid of the Dark coming on right after it... those days are gone.

How's this scary? It's funny! I like it.

It's truly freaky.It's a good one though, they used to show this one all the time.

I remember this extremely freaky bumper. I wonder what Nickelodeon was thinking when they made this.

I used to sing along with it haha lol

lol this one always cracked me up

Exactly. This scared me when I was a kid. One promo that Nick could have done without.

This used to scare the crap out of me. ;_;

I remember this vaguely, God, this thing could give kids seizures!

This used to come on all the time. I think it messed my brain up.

I was wonderin why it's called "pinchface", myself. Yeah, now that I actually had time to look at it, it IS pretty disturbing, ha ha!

thank you , Now I'm gonna have nightmares again. and why is it called pinchface when it's an invisable head? there's nothing to pinch. It reminds me of the faith no more video where they constantly show the guy's inside skin and monster eyes. had nightmares for a month after that!

Ah! I remember that! That was disturbing! They hired somebody with a lot of creativity to do a horror clip for Nickelodeon. Just disturbing!
