This is not a venture to make any money, but if you'd like to help me digitize things more quickly, or procure more old analog media to preserve digitally, you can leave a tip at the Enterprise Shenanigans Ko-Fi page. Anything helps. Thanks!

Just encountered my first instance of Gemini completely hallucinating a made-up video when provided a YouTube link. It was plausible given the context of what it had been analyzing before, but wasn't even close to accurate to the content.

Attempting to tastefully address diarrhea in a commercial will never not be funny to me, as I am a child

Despite the official line, I believe Erin from Esurance was retired because the company became aware of how much NSFW artwork was being made about her on the interwebs

Given how goddam congenial Gemini acts it's very possible I've inadvertently white-washed some ghoulish corporate behavior in these commercial descriptions, but I'm sure the YouTube comments will be quick to point out any instances of that.

Tried making a Facebook page to act as a sort of "highlights" feed now that there's so many commercials on my YouTube page. God their video tools suck ass

Finished automating my entire YouTube flow just to realize there's a daily quota on how many you can upload through the API and it's....low. Even when that resets, there's a separate limit of 100 daily uploads by any means so there's a hard cap on how quickly I can clear a backlog of commercials

2002 news broadcast footage from Kentucky. The George W. Bush visit teased was a preview of what was to happen with Iraq, as he discussed the war on terror with small business leaders at a roundtable in Louisville, KY. The main story was a drought in the area though

Got my first "No one will be able to watch your video" copyright warning. Not surprisingly, it was for the first half of the 48th Grammy Awards

As a kid, I though the big dude in the sauna was saying "Breathe, my tasty friend" and I found that very odd. Seeing it now, nearly 25 years later...that's still what I think he's saying. It's weird right?

I was planning to make sure that the 1000th commercial I uploaded was something notable, but I lost track and I'm pretty sure it wound up being for the launch of Disney California. It's debatable if that's better than the Hidden Valley Ranch commercials we're at now.

The dude who recorded this batch had an uncanny ability to chop off the first 20 minutes of everything he recorded, and usually the end as well. The result is a collection of middle segments. The fact he manages to do this multiple times on the same tape is astounding. Exhibit A

I made this a separate video because Team Impact's whole thing about being jacked for Jesus cracks me up. I guess they were still chasing that high from being on an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger a few years prior (as The Power Team, prior to the founder's divorce)
