" With each passing year, it becomes harder to believe that the 90s actually happened. Just be thankful that we have a magical vessel like YouTube in order to preserve the confounding holiday advertising from that bygone era. 1. The Arby&amp;#039;s Christmas Chorus does not have terrific song parody writers.      Fact: The deal in this commercial works out to $1.11 per sandwich. Fact: That means Arby&amp;#039;s can make a roast beef sandwich for well under a dollar. Probably a fact: The quality of that meat is not great. 2. Ronald McDonald goes skating with children in... an abandoned pond?      Ronald has never looked more like Pennywise from Stephen King&amp;#039;s It. Yet there go a handful of happy pre-teens skating with Ol&amp;#039; Ron. WHERE ARE THEIR PARENTS? 3. A Curry&amp;#039;s shopper wears the most Seinfeldy Seinfeld sweater since Seinfeld.      Listen closely at 0:23; we&amp;#039;ve located the human C3PO, and he&amp;#039;s a sales clerk at Curry&amp;#039;s. 4. Barney Rubble is just the worst friend.      Barney was willing to rent a Santa suit, climb up on his friend&amp;#039;s roof, and perform a death drop into a fire place, rather than going to the store and buying a box of cereal for himself. Commitment. 5. The Brisbane Shopping Center has only creepy dummies in it, apparently.      It&amp;#039;s amazing that, even though this commercial was made in 1994, it was absolutely edited on a first generation version of iMovie. Also, 0:17 is the stuff of deep nightmares. 6. KMart&amp;#039;s talking bear can blink but can&amp;#039;t move its lips.      This is like the really boring precursor to the movie Ted. Also Christmas boxer shorts were $11.95 per pair in 1994? A three-pack is ten bucks today. What we learned: KMart refuses to accept inflation! 7. Only Wall Street d-bags shop at Circuit City.      A) The guy at 0:07 looks so annoyed to be in this commercial. B) Circuit City is super pumped about offering a 19 inch Magnavox television. C) There&amp;#039;s a remote control that has seven total buttons on it. Ah, for simpler times. 8. Most of this cheese commercial could easily be a deleted scene from The Shining.      Nothing is more 90s than farmers trying to convince American that dairy is really good for us. 9. Here are Pogs. So Many Pogs.      A commercial for Pogs. Yes, there were commercials for Pogs.
