This is quite a find... admittedly I got it for really cheap elsewhere, but the Toby Huss/Sinatra impersonator spots are pure gold. And of course, Donal Logue as Jimmy the Cabby is great fun, too. Worth checking out if you can get a good price...

For those of you who only have fond memories of Toby Huss doing Frank Sinatra or that crazy Go To Hell guy, or Donal Logue doing the crazy cabbie Jimmy McBride... here's your tape. Though they didn't include all of my favorite commercials, seeing some of them was nostalgic enough. I can't find any of this stuff online!

Hey, for a couple bucks, who cares how much stuff is or isn't on the 40 minute tape.

I always thought the best part of MTV was the little bits between ( back then ) videos - Here is a nice collection of them going all the way back to the early " I Want my MTV " bits with Cyndi Lauper and Billy Idol, Randy and the Redwoods, up thru the Sleazy Cab Driver.
My only complaints are that it isn't long enough - and that makes it cut out some of the more interesting bits of the recurring characters.

It was sent fast got it right away. This video was try rember the start on MTV. No problems watching it

... This was an awful attempt to separate people from their money in a horrible masquerade of nostalgia. The problem is, they were all period pieces. Now, taken out of context of the era in which they were produced you have a collection of attempts at humor. Lousy attempts at that. Do yourself a favor, skip this video entirely.
