35a. Commercials!!! (Part 1 of 2)
Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another hilarious and relatable episode of Fat, Dumb, and Happy! In this episode, we are diving deep into the Commercials that shaped - or maybe scarred - our childhood and beyond. We're talking about those 30-second mini-movies that interrupted McGuyver right as he’s about to figure out ANOTHER invention to escape the bad guy. These ads forced us to ask critical questions like, “Where IS the beef?” and “How does he always seem to have time to make the donuts?”. Whether it’s singing and dancing raisins or literally insane local electronics salesmen, we’ll have something you can relate to, and laugh about tonight. The FDH crew welcome back super special guest expert Justin (from our 80s TV Shows episode) to test his memory and singing skills as they relate to classic commercials! Listen to how we rate each episode and which one you remember best. It's a great time!
