This is from the 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Parade when Dance Club Barbie was the big thing Mattel was pushing down our throats. I had Dance Club Barbie. I also had the Dance Club Barbie video where Paula Abdul taught all of us girls how to "Do The Barbie." The songs that came on the cassette with the doll were cool, I'll admit. Barbie got a cool outfit. But not ONE of them damn dancers are doing what Paula choreographed. It's been fifteen or so years, and I still remember how to "Do The Barbie":

Further back about three years to 1986, I give you Barbie and the Rockers. Knowing what I know now about the two years of pre-production put in by the good folks at Hasbro on Jem ,and how it took Mattel all of six months to pretty much rip off the idea and get the dolls on the market before Hasbro got Jem up and running, this pisses me off:

Shitty-ass song, and wow, the red-head plays a key-tar like Kimber did! A-amzing! At least the float looks like it was constructed out of Legos, and Barbie and her pals bopping around on it make it seem like the float will fall apart.

Another year, 1987. Go to hell, Barbie:

We (the general public) wait and wait throughout spring, summer and fall till about this special time of year when McDonald's springs their beloved seasonal McRib sammich on us for our fast food consumption. Here is the 1989 commercial from way back then:

Hunter is the one who brought this little gem to my attention. The Marvel float from 1987. Captain America, RoboCop, Power Man...and since when was the Incredible Hulk the BAD GUY? So pathetic, yet fun to laugh at.
