A follow up to yesterday’s reblog from peteneems:
Geoffrey’s Secret Word Game was a “watch and win” contest. The promo doesn’t specify a prize (at least the one I found readily available). It’s not really clear on directions either - it just says “listen for Geoffrey’s secret words and you’ll be a winner”. I’m assuming if you won, you got a shopping spree at Toys ‘R Us. Remember those?
That’s not why we’re here. We’re here because it’s the first and only time we see Mario plastered next to late comedic actor John Candy, hip-hop duo Kid ‘N Play and Rick Moranis? I was 2 in 1990, so I can’t recall a cartoon with Rick Moranis that wasn’t The Real Ghostbusters.
A cool find, but this has nothing on Pac Man hanging out with various Hanna-Barbera stars in the USA Cartoon Express promos.
