Enjoy this collection of October 2001 TV commercials from The Haunted History of Halloween and "In Search of" marathon. In Search Of was hosted by Leonard Nimoy in the 70's and the history channel just bought it from cheap content. Lots of early web 1.0 commercials and very 2000's visuals. I hope you like Y2k aesthetics! This episodes stars Leslie Nielsen for his really funny medicare commercials. They are legitimately very funny. Special guest appearance by Laura Bush for breast cancer awareness. We also have a guest appearance by Rick & Morty President Keith David for a Jazz CD collection. He sounds exactly the same, crazy. I've cleaned up the audio and visuals as best I can, but this was rough copy to begin with. This was a the end of October of 2001 and you already had Sept 11th scammers selling "silver clad coins." Snakes slither fast I guess. This was dated by Laura Bush promo and the 100 Centre St TV promo. October 2001.

Commercials Included:

-Adelphia: The Escaped Zoo Ape Commercial
-1-800 Medicare: This is a really funny commercial with Leslie Nielsen. That many can do some physical comedy and his voice is that of an angel. I thought this was a scam company, but it's from medicare itself.
-Gateway Windows XP Commercial: Narrated by Brain from Pinky and the Brain (Maurice LaMarche)
-America's Library (dot) Gov Commercial: Featuring Paper cutout George Washington
-Crucial Memory Commercial: I know Crucial makes more than memory, but it's crazy they did enough volume to make a commercial just for RAM.
-9/11 Fake Silver Coin: These commercials aired in October 2001 and somehow they got the scam coin ready that fast. "Silver plated" "25 dollar donation" What a sick way to take advantage of the goodwill of Sept. 11. 0/10
-Obnoxious Anti-Drug PSA: The website "weprevent(dot)org" was taken over by someone with a wordpress blog. Here's how it appeared back then: https://web.archive.org/web/20010922144405/http://weprevent.org/
