But First These Messages: Power us Up

But First These Messages 


    Without batteries we wouldn't have anything portable really, and they really provide us a service that we take for granted. It's interesting . even though batteries are so big in our world, they still have to be advertised to us.

         Batteries ... But First these, messages.

 
    In the 1990's  Duracell envisioned a world  where plastic people obviously killed off all the humans and took over the world, but they had to be powered by batteries.  The Puttermans  appared in  Duracell ads between 1994 to 1996.

     

           I have some questions , how do they put the batteries in, or does someone have to put hte batteries in for them?
                Also batteries are their life force , yet the have to buy them?
                 Also did they kill that woman , or will they give her a new battery later?
          So many questions!

Hmm I think they killed her

                 



     

     In this world, even the pets are battery operated.  This is the future folks! Wake up ! (bonk on the head )
This bird later got a sitcom called Everybody loves Birdy. 

      That bird is annoying, was anyone else expecting one of them to take the battery out , I was kind of thinking that, maybe I have dark thoughts, it's that last commercial's fault!


       
 
      This commercial again makes me ask so many questions , like they can go in the water? Also the fish are battery powered , when they eat "meat" does that mean the batteries are taken and then they eat the food?
That's the face that's seen things 

                                 
more after the jump

     
                It's Energizer's turn (since we don't want to be accused of pro-duracell bias) and let's start in 1982.

       

       Nothing out kills Engerzier, also funny how his car breaks down after his mom gave him the flash light, hmm.
Also Willie Aames  should have a better car 

        The one problem with batteries , no matter how long lasting the ads say they are , they always die eventually ( just ask your walk man with a tapedeck) .  Rayovac is here to save the say, but big battery won't let me say what it is. 


           
       

     Yes, batteries that can be recharged! (Witch!)   So this commercial's sales pitch is  hey you  like saving money right? Here these batteries can be reused meaning you don't have to keep buying batteries.  So yes , other batteries are long lasting, but ours  last as long as the recharging holds.
Santa says buy Rayovac 
                     
               Meanwhile , a  little while later  Rayovac has stragey for their non re-chargeable battery.

           

    Rayovac is saying here all batteries are the same, but our price is better than their price so buy us! Not a bad sales pitch.  Also minus 30 points for the "Cars 2" tie-in though.

"Yeah take that , you two batteries,I get to stand in front" 

       We now hop across the pond (unless you are reading this on Joshuaonline UK , or anywhere else out side of the US) 


        

   Ever Ready apparently powers fire , not sure how that works but they do.    They also envision a world made of batteries .

What a wonderful world. 

 We are going to stop here and re charge.  That's our messages , now back to our program,  "Star Wars Holiday special but only the parts with Bea Arthur appearing" .
