In the mid 90's, 1995 and 1996 especially, there was one commercial that seemed to be everywhere, the commercial for the LIVING IN THE 90's CD.
Like the K-Tel albums of the previous decade, this claimed to have the most popular songs of the day.
I think MTV played it on every commercial break during the era. And, yes, I actually broke down and bought the CD. So sue me.
I still see the ad a lot. It is on a 90's compilation DVD that I made up of videos and other assorted programming from old VHS tapes of MTV's 120 MINUTES from 1996.
The version I have is different than the above that was posted on Youtube (if you can't see it and are reading this from an outside site, click through). It features more of the two stars talking about the songs on the album (at one point during Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby", they claim the album has "legendary artists").
So, since I still see the ad I lot, I've been noticing an actress that turns up in a lot of commercials.
Like this screengrab from a current Verizon ad.
Isn't that the same girl? Think of her 12 years later, and it COULD be.
Commercials don't have credits, so I don't know what her name is. But it could very well be. She has been in a few ads since. So, she is still out there working.

I remember the long version of this commercial and I also remember thinking the guy in it was smokin' hot. If you have a digital copy of the long version of this commercial, contact me at lex-2006@hotmail.com. I would really LOVE to have a copy of it
Thanks!
Hey, my friend has these cd's and there is a song on one of the two collections on number 15 i'm trying to figure out what song it is. It skips right into it.....and i can't hear anything, but it's really good. so what is number 15 on both cds?
You seem to have loved your mtv, I have a memory as a kid of a small MTV add video, one of those like My MTV? Everyone seems to remember the moonlanding one but what i can't seeem to track down is the |When the Freaks come out|. It's an old memory but i remember that it was a few seconds to 10 tops, if anything comes to mind or if u remember it.. just trying to track it down :)
