Sadly, after about an hour and a half of searching I could only find this one clip of the brilliant Wendy's training video from 1989 entitled Grill Skill. But I think it does a good job of touching upon the greatness of the whole thing. Click the pic of the magical training rapping dude that comes from the magical training tape at Wendy's.
With Mother's Day coming around here's another one they showed that evening -- Mr. T rappin' at y'all about treating your moms with respect. It's worth the damn commercial. Yes, in 1984 what better rap was flowin' than: Mother/There is no other/Mother/So treat her right
And this is happening in a couple weeks. The whole thing brings more questions to mind than excitement--but it has certainly captured my interest... From the Coolidge Corner Theater website (5/14/05):
Sure, you can have your X-Box super-advanced 3-D action video games, but nothing matches the sheer joy and innocent fun of Asteroids, Berzerk, Combat, Defender, Missile Command, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Yars Revenge. Yes, we're talking about the home video game system that started it all - the Atari 2600. To celebrate the long lost art of these classic video games, the Coolidge is turning the ENTIRE theatre into a massive Atari 2600 video arcade for one night only! Join us for Atari on the big screen as we kick off the night with three auditoriums, each featuring a different classic Atari game. We'll play in 5 minute rounds (first come, first play, just like at the arcade), with judges passing out raffle tickets to the best players.
Then at 1:00, join us for a final Championship Round between the best players (drawn from our lucky raffle participants) on the GIANT SCREEN. Yeah, it's just like that Fred Savage movie THE WIZARD, which, what do you know, we'll be screening immediately afterwards!
