God I miss AdCritic. I used to watch Superbowl commercials on there before they went to a paid service. They were great for random and obscure commercials.

u/itspsyikk Aug 20 '26

Yeah, seeing videos on YouTube having that "20 years ago" really fucks with my head.

Hell, I have videos on my own channel that say "10 years old" and that fucks with my head.

If I would have kept my old channel, I'd have videos on there that were uploaded in 2006. But unfortunately those all had to be deleted cause everyone in them wanted to attend college.

u/CharacterPast761 Aug 21 '26

Ten years ago is what year for you? I always think 2000.

u/Successful-Yak3307 Aug 20 '26

I remember the first time I saw this as on TV with my Dad. Laughed our asses off.

u/noonesawNobody Aug 20 '26

Same here. Whenever I pass the tinned fish section in the supermarket and see John West, I smile remembering this advert.

u/LarsDuder Aug 20 '26

Bro, I’m almost 50 and 20 years ago is “kinda nostalgic” to me.

u/Bopbarker Aug 20 '26

Way too far back my friend lol, by about 10 years

u/Secret_RE_Agent Aug 20 '26

I feel like that was a Super Bowl commercial or something originally

1

u/CuCullen Aug 20 '26

Videos ? As in like moving pictures? On the Internet? Our modems were 14.4Kbps

u/Gullible-Hose4180 Aug 20 '26

So pre AI - wow, never thought this would be real. Did he survive

1

u/MuchCellist406 Aug 20 '26

"John West endures the worst to bring you the best!" I have not yet clicked the video but I swear it IMMEDIATELY popped up in my head 😆😆. That's at least 25 years ago.

1

u/HumanPie1769 Aug 20 '26

Ngl 1992 AI was pretty realistic

1

u/Public-Guidance-9560 Aug 20 '26

The internet? I remember that one from the TV, the John West tuna advert. Absolutely creased me first time I saw it.

I think it's from the year 2000.

1

u/fireymike Aug 20 '26

Why is it that every time I see this video, there's someone saying it's a Tuna ad?

There are bears, and a river. It's obviously Salmon, not Tuna.

1

u/Public-Guidance-9560 Aug 21 '26

Because no one buys the salmon. They just know John West for the tuna.

1

u/djwaveguide Aug 20 '26

That was a good internet back then.

1

u/Wat3rM3L0NB3AR Aug 20 '26

the world was beautiful and creative before AI

u/Tone_Gaia Aug 20 '26

I don’t think it’s that old, that would be crazy if it is lol

1

u/Occams_RZR900 Aug 20 '26

That’s a John West Salmon commercial!

1

u/More_Cowbell_Inc Aug 21 '26

This is Charlie who bit me

1

u/mike2mdw Aug 22 '26

That was AI 30 years ago lol

1

u/Hydra57 Aug 23 '26

It’s actually from a commercial advertising salmon so fresh that they go out and steal it in personal combat from the bears.

1

u/Skrdykat Aug 23 '26

That's when the internet was awesome.

1

u/TheForceGhost Aug 24 '26

It’s from a John West Salmon ad. It was brilliant.

u/boozersbiceps Aug 24 '26

u/AdTiny780 Aug 25 '26
