KIENOWS' FINAL AD CAMPAIGN
Portland's last remaining Kienow's, near Hawthorne, is now a Rite Aid.
|
|
BLAZER GAME PROMO
Unfortunately, that was their only ball.
|
|
OREGON CHICKEN
It seemed like this one was in every local ad break that 1993 had to offer.
|
|
"PEOPLE SAY I'M INTIMIDATING..."
This was part two of a trilogy of local ads Dairy Queen produced for their Trail Blazer Collectible Glasses promotion. The Blazer shown here pleaded to be given his own glass in each ad, but was always ignored. In 1994 he finally got his.

NEW! IS TV A WASTE OF TIME?
You be the judge.

COME TO THE FAIR AND RIDE THE CHAIR!!!
Come to the Fair and ride the Chair! Come to the Fair and ride the Chair!
|
|
NEW! AM NORTHWEST CIRCA 1993
And this is the 90s variation. Look at Bosley jam!
|
|
NEW! HOME ELECTRONICS UPDATE

CLYDE DREXLER HAS A MESSAGE FOR YOU

|
NEW! SMELLS LIKE TEAM SPIRIT
Fitting news slogan for 1993. A MOSQUITO! MY LIBIDO!
|
|
"ROSE FESTIVAL VOICES"
A princess says some...stuff. It didn't have enough meat on its own, so I added a Gianola/Emry '93 KATU spot.
|
|
SMITHS HOME FURNISHINGS
The final Smiths ad in the collection is different from the rest--it's diabetically sugary. The guy who sent this one in remarked that the people behind it must have gone on to create Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
|
|
KRAZY KARS OF PORTLAND
There are a lot more than just these three, too...crazy hippies.
|
|
RICK WITH EMPIRE GLASS
"Let Empire Glass replace your cracked windshield, and we'll give you 24 free dinners!" This is the first Empire Glass commercial to air. It's too bad about Rick. You know...his being shot in a hotel by a hooker and all.

ORYGONE'S 12
In the late 90's KPTV went by the name "Oregon's 12." The actors off in Hollywood had to film themselves mentioning the station's name, and tapes frequently came back with those actors saying "Orygone's 12." Eventually KPTV made a string of ads out of them. Dang, if you can't count on the guy from "Homeboys in Outer Space" to get it right, then who CAN you count on?
|
|
NEW! VIDEO PHONES AT LAST
It's officially the future!
|
|
WORST. LOCAL AD. EVER.
The flawed logic, the "animation" consisting of two static images, the bad voices...this is Oregon's Plan 9.
|
|
"MOMENT IN TIME"
Part of KATU's "Power of 2000" promotion. Where were YOU during the Columbus Day Storm? I was sitting somewhere, not born.
|
|
Y2K PREPAREDNESS MESSAGE!
Aside from the KATU logo pasted onto the beginning, this ad has nothing to do with the Northwest...but a cache of 1999 videos HAS to include a Y2K hysteria clip.
|
|
NEW! "DOES YOUR CAR LOOK LIKE DEEEIS? WELL, IT COULD LOOK LIKE DEEEIS!"
Kills me every time.
|
|
THE HAPPY STAFF OF KOIN NEWS
They're sweet and nice and never disagree. ....Yeah, right. This is when Lars Larson worked there. I don't buy it for a second.
|
|
94.7 ANARCHY!
They're partying like it's not 1999!
