WHAT would happen if you turned The Three Stooges — Curly, Larry and Moe — into (bumbling, of course) bionic crimefighters?
Well, you don’t have to think too hard; you just have to watch “The Robonic Stooges” cartoon.
Here’s a YouTube clip of the opening credits.

DO you want to have your own pet yet your parents give you that proverbial you’re-not-ready-for-that-kind-of-responsibility-yet bit? Well, now you can have your own pet — that is not smelly, cost-free, but still very cute.
Introducing the Tamagotchi! Actually, the Tamagotchi needs no introduction since it’s not new, per se. In fact, I can still remember the Tamagotchi craze that swept the kid community back when I was still in grade school. Come recess, students flocked in one corner of the classroom to play with their Tamagotchi, never bothering to go outside and play. Heck, they even forgot to eat their baon just to feed and play with their Tamagotchi.
My generation and even the older generation should be familiar with this loveable pet. But for the sake of those who belong to later generations (Generation Y or Z?), here’s a quick info on the well-loved pet.
REMEMBER the classic hotdog commercial featuring this young girl who was writing about her crush Carlo in her diary?
Well, you don’t have to picture it in your mind because you can now find them on YouTube. Fellow tech journalists Jing Garcia and Rory Visco (thanks guys) and I were talking over lunch today about the classic advertisements in Philippine television. And of course, this “Goodbye, Carlo!” ad (I forgot which agency made it) immediately came to mind.
The ad starts with our young lady writing about Carlo who sat beside her (I assumed in school), and telling her that she’s pretty but “fat.” So she vowed to stop eating chocolates, spaghetti, and hotdogs. Then, she looks over at her table where two juicy hotdogs are waiting to be eaten. For a few seconds, she thinks about her diary entry, and writes, “Goodbye, Carlo!”
Here’s the video clip.
Other classic Filipino television ads could be found on YouTube. You only need to do a search on “Pinoy” and “ads” and you’ll get a slew of them. I just found the “I Can Feel It” soap ad featuring Alice Dixon and Sheila Ysrael looking very, er, young back in the 80s.
“I can feel it!”
FORGET the horrible movie. If you want real Dungeons & Dragons goodness, watch the animated TV series that premiered back in 1983 as a co-production between Marvel Productions and the then publisher of D&D, TSR (which was acquired by Wizards of the Coast in 1997).
Remember Venger? And Tiamat? Good times, heh 
Here’s a YouTube clip of the intro.
And just for kicks, here’s a YouTube clip of one of those old D&D TV commercials for the table top role-playing game. Yup, I’m talking real dice and pen and paper
