Well, as promised, we're here -- on Thanksgiving, no less -- with this month's Patreon-exclusive bonus show! To complement this month's main show, where we dived deep into the 1985 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, our latest bonus show is all about some of the awesome television commercials that aired during that broadcast!To be honest, the commercials were a big reason why we wanted to cover that parade to begin with. From fast food to action figures, they were all so good! We could've done several shows just about the TV spots, but if we had to stick with four, we think we picked the right ones. Enjoy the show!

PS, wanna see the commercials as they aired on the original NBC broadcast? Follow the links below!

1) She-Ra's Crystal Castle!2) The McDonald's McDLT!3) Hot Wheels Crack-Ups Cars!4) Toys "R" Us + Wuzzles!

Thanks so much for supporting us here on Patreon, and if you're in the States, happy Thanksgiving! Our holiday fun will continue in December, so stay tuned, more Purple Stuff is on the way!

I’m always game to hear about The Wuzzles! Even after hearing a call from Jay’s dad.

The McDLT was definitely not ended because of the styrofoam containers. People seem to forget, they kept using their styrofoam containers for their other burgers like the quarter pounder and the Big Mac for a time after the McDLT was pulled from the menu. I think they simply took up too much room on their warmer shelves behind the register, and they ended up costing too much in overhead compared to the rest of their menu. Also the cheese should have been on the hot side. I was only 8 in '85 and never had one of these, I was still eating Happy Meals and this definitely felt like an adult menu item, way outside of my simple child pallet.

I love a Wuzzle.. but Jay.. your folks are super cute!

James Mc Gill

This episode is fantastic! I love when Jay's dad is on. The Wuzzle competition was hilarious. Stellar episode!

Andrew Shaw

DAMN this was a funny episode! Something about it just all clicked perfectly. AND- Jay's Dad! Been years since last he was on and what a treat he is. I forgot what the premise of the show was after he was on. Oh yah... commercials.

Literally been following Matt's content for 25 years, but today, as I find out he "hates melted cheese on a burger", I now have to question everything I've ever believed. WHO ARE YOU?!

Jesse Dubinsky

I think the whole point of this episode was to see how many times Jay could get Matt to say Dikchilla

Jon

Loved the episode! Would be really curious to hear your commentary on the '25 Macys Parade.

Kylee

Will you make a post of all the Christmas podcast episodes?

Anita

I tried the regular holiday creamy vanilla coke today at lunch, and yeah its too sweet. Reminds me a lil of original vanilla coke from 2002. I can't imagine how sweet the zero version is. (Diet Coke for life, btw, so glad we're finally getting flavored diet cokes back)

Thank you for having Jay’s dad back on!!! Adore his guest appearances!! And thank you for covering the Crystal castle- one of my favorite gifts of all time. Made me feel warm and fuzzy thinking back about it. Hope Jay loves his! Get it out of the box! 💓

Anita

Matt, you were too hard on yourself.

Electrolux

Haven't eaten at McDonalds in ages but now I really want a McDLT. And I think I have said this before, but you guys really need to do and episode with Jay's dad. He has no idea what a following he has out here.

Zile Elliven

From the number of times that you have both said, “ it’s in my closet somewhere,” I gotta ask, how freaking big are y’all’s closets??? if I tried to put Shera’s crystal castle in mine, I wouldn’t be able to close the door 😂

Nolan Hanson

Omg, Jay’s dad! You should have charged extra for this episode.

JAY'S DAAAAD?!!!? I feel like I've heard the voice of thee almighty!!!

Hear meowt on the Jack o lantern patterns on hostess boxes... what if they go the "build a figure" action figure route where there's just ONE facial feature on a box and ya gotta go out and collect a buncha different boxes to build YOUR unique Jack o lantern!
