Celebrating Superbowl XX (1986)

It's Superbowl Sunday! Let's flashback 31 years to the Bears killing the Patriots.
-"New England, the Patriots and We"... has their ever been a more weinerly football song? The song sucks, the video sucks and the pseudo "in the studio" scenes are ridiculous. The engineer saying "take one" at the beginning is fitting, since this sounds like a first take. The intro "VJ" holding a gun on the bear would never fly today. This particular recording is from V66, a low-budget New England UHF station (WVJV) that tried becoming a sort of "free MTV" for a while in the 1980s. Today, it's the Univision affiliate.


-Jim McMahon and William "The Refrigerator" Perry (Chicago Bears) for Coke and New Coke; who would have guessed that Perry would go on to have a weight problem.


-Jim McMahon for Honda scooters; I hate this ad.


-Mike Ditka's much-classier response (for Pontiac) to McMahon
